I think he's probably talking about the Microsoft Technet subscription service; it costs about $200/year and has downloadable ISOs for multiple versions of their various OSes and also some application software.

He installed the software himself on his kid's loaner notebook to keep track of his kid's activity (you see, the FBI guy is also some kid's daddy, and he wants to know in case somebody solicits his kid in a chatroom).
Then he asked a buddy at work if he knew how to remove the software before returning the notebook to the school; apparently Joe didn't know, so he brought it to a local computer repair shop and asked them to do it for (his own) cash. Apparently they didn't remove this software either.
Then Mr. School Principal went looking for kiddie porn using the recently returned school loaner notebook that unfortunately still had that spyware installed on it.
Don't you just hate it when things go sour like that and a school principal gets busted browsing for kiddie porn? I know I do.
Apparently you can pass the "nousb" flag to the kernel at boot time (if you think of it) to avoid wiping your DBAN flash drive when you use "autonuke" (assuming, of course, that you're not trying to nuke some other USB-connected drives).
So I guess that Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria can expect to have their civilian population randomly maimed and murdered by Palestinian refugees as well?
The Palestinians' Lebanese camps became ghettos as the Palestinians were barred from citizenship, finding certain jobs, or traveling abroad. Some of these refugee camps, overcrowded and filled with angry refugees, helped seed the beginnings of Yasser Arafat's Fatah group; guerrilla attacks on Israel were launched from some of the Palestinian camps in Lebanon.
The Palestinian problem has been the most useful anti-Israel tool in the Arab world's toolkit; they will not help the Palestinian people to integrate into the Arab countries and have a normal life because the Palestinian refugees are too useful as a pawn in the "Destroy Israel" game. Meanwhile Israel has an Arab population that is integrated into the society -- socially, economically, and politically. But they're the bad guys, right?
Despite your tangential concerns that somebody somewhere may believe that standing behind some specific type of tree will protect a person from being murdered, whereas standing behind any other type of tree will blow their spot when the tree calls out to the murderers that "there is a Jew behind me", I did not take this specific part of the hadith as of overarching importance.
The essence of the issue is that Hamas, a so-called democratically elected political entity, among other things, has as part of its charter a hadith that specifically calls for the hunting down and murder of Jews.
You prefer to avoid the issue and focus instead on a phrase at the end of that hadith that may or may not have some meaning beyond your ridicule of it.
The joke proves that the Gharqad tree thing is just a metaphor because if it was intended literally, and every settlement was literally surrounded by the trees, then every Jew in Israel would be behind at least one tree, and thus imune to Hamas attacks.
If it's a joke then it is unfunny, like many other racist jokes in this world.
But you seem to miss the meaning of the word proof. Intending it literally would not make Jews who stood behind Gharqad trees "immune to Hamas attacks", it would just make the speaker a fool.
And this Mufti's "joke", if it is a joke, in the face of the long history murderous of Arab attacks on Jews (even in Munich, you may recall), just makes him a thug along with the rest of the Hamas et al. lot.
It is sad that a community which prides itself so much on free-thinking and open-mindedness will so blindly follow the mainstream media and right-wing conservative propaganda when it comes to Islam.
That hadeeth is part of the Hamas charter and is repeated by various religious and political leaders in Hamas (and, to boot, by that Mufti in the PA that I quoted, as well).
Hamas and their ilk have co-opted much of the Muslim world by quoting hadeeths to bolster their anti-Israel and anti-Jewish (and anti-a-whole-lot-of-other-stuff-too) agenda.
They have convinced a dangerously large number of their countrymen that setting their children to live atop an ammunition dump is a good thing, part of their "holy war", and then they rage against those who bomb their ammo dumps. They have targeted Israeli children as "legitimate millitary targets" because "otherwise they will grow up to serve in the Israeli army someday".
I can't tell you whether they actually believe the religious quotations they venomously spew or are just using religion for their own political ends (as have many other religions been used throughout history). Probably some of both.
Right wing conservative propaganda my ass!
I hope you don't think I am mistaking these thugs for Islam anymore than I mistake those who bomb abortion clinics for Christianity.
"47 years ago the [Fatah] revolution started. Which revolution? The modern revolution of the Palestinian people's history. In fact, Palestine in its entirety is a revolution, since [Caliph] Umar came [to conquer Jerusalem in 637 CE], and continuing today, and until the End of Days.
The reliable Hadith (tradition attributed to Muhammad), [found] in the two reliable collections, Bukhari and Muslim, says:
The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews. The Jew will hide behind stones or trees. Then the stones or trees will call: 'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Except the Gharqad tree [which will keep silent].
Therefore it is no wonder that you see Gharqad [trees] surrounding the [Israeli] settlements and colonies..."
So, Dude, how about you ring up Mr. Mufti and 'splain the whole metaphor thing to him, like? Or text him, whatever. And see if he can sync it all up with Hamas so they're on the same page. Kewl. KThx Dude.
You're lying. Hamas has never said, implied, or hinted at some evil plot to murder the Jews of Brooklyn. They have never said, implied, or hinted that they want the Israeli people to leave Israel. What they have said is that they want an Islamic and Arab government to control the entire former British Mandate of Palestine, and that they are willing to kill anyone who stands in the way of that dream.
Hey Dude, check it out! It's right here in the Hamas Charter: For our struggle against the Jews is extremely wide-ranging and grave, so much so that it will need all the loyal efforts we can wield, to be followed by further steps and reinforced by successive battalions from the multifarious Arab and Islamic world, until the enemies are defeated and Allahâ(TM)s victory prevails
nevertheless, the Hamas has been looking forward to implement Allahâ(TM)s promise whatever time it might take. The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim).

I should be ashamed of myself for reading it, but let's just say that I'm new here. TFA says that numerous cameras weren't working:
Among the many vexing deficiencies in this report were the numerous inoperable security cameras. Indeed, the camera that should have provided coverage of the activists' point of entry had been out of service for six months; yet, in a 2011 performance evaluation, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) determined that the facility's security was "excellent" and "good." It's hard to imagine how the NNSA came to this conclusion given that there hadn't been a full force-on-force test of the facility since 2009. A force-on-force exercise is designed to fully measure a nuclear facility's preparedness against attack; it's the only real way to tell whether a site can protect the material it houses.
It sounds to me like it's NNSA that should be fired.
I'm pretty sure that IEEE accounts have an associated IEEE email address, so knowing the accountname and password sets up the user for having his (or her) email hijacked both sending and receiving. So it's not just being able to read an article without paying for it.
You might have more correctly stated that MSG has umami flavor; there's a little bit more to the story though:
Umami represents the taste of the amino acid L-glutamate and 5prime-ribonucleotides such as guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and inosine monophosphate (IMP).
And interestingly:
Humans' first encounter with umami is breast milk.[26] It contains roughly the same amount of umami as broths.
As for your comments on exitotoxicity, I think that's a yet unresolved question. It's a quite interesting question though, given the prevalence of naturally occurring glutamate (and umami) in diets worldwide.
B12 is produced by microorganisms, and apparently that's where most animals get their B12 from -- e.g., eating soil.
Cyanocobalamin is the usual B12 supplemental form and can be obtained in tablet form over the counter or from supplemented foods.
Nutritional yeast is usually supplemented with B12, though the amount varies. Looking at a few labels: KAL Yeast Flakes lists "150% Daily Value" in 3 rounded tablespoons; Red Star Yeast VSF (flakes) lists 8 micrograms or "133% Daily Value" in 2 heaping tablespoons; and impressively, Twinlab SuperRich Yeast Plus lists 25 micrograms or "416%" in 2 tablespoons.
Many people find that nutritional yeasts taste good. I sprinkle yeast flakes on popcorn and mix yeast into soup or over pasta both for the nutritional boost and because it's a source of umami flavor:

They screwed it up.
They shouldn't be classifying the kids into "racial" categories first and then setting grade requirements; that's silly.
They should assign the kids to racial categories based on their test scores instead.
