Why on earth would a multi-billion dollar corporate welfare payout to ADM surprise or amaze you? You don't think it actually has anything to do with whether ethanol is any good or not, do you?

Without voiding the warranty? I don't have the same degree of faith in the hardware's longevity as the average hardware hacker, so I'd rather not be out six benjamins when the fan dies on one of these things.
As Samir Nagheenanajar would say: "Yes, this is horrible, this idea."
Heck, they could probably even use the magic word "please" and someone in the community would do basic qc for them to make sure all the disks actually install, because the Linux crowd is cool like that.
Clearly Dell's board of directors should be holding a seat open for such bold thinkers.
I missed a lot of things from Civ:CTP, like the public works pool and the espionage layer. Managing worker/engineer units is one of the more truly annoying aspects of Civ. I also liked the fact that CTP doesn't make history end in the late 20th century. I heard CTP2 even did away with the fixed city grid, letting it grow outside the "5-square-except-corners" layout (I'm not sure on this point tho, never played it).
I'd love to see workers/engineers and the city grid done away with in a Civ5. In fact, unless it's radically different, I'll probably skip Civ5 altogether. It's not a bad game at all, but just like Heroes of Might and Magic, I'm getting very sick of playing the same game every time it comes out.
What I really liked is how Miriam's character starts off as some strident bible-beater, but eventually they make you really empathize with her when she starts quoting from We Must Dissent. The Self-Aware Colony is quite chilling. Damn near impossible to play her as a faction though, thanks to the lousy science output. Really only good for beginning rushes on small maps, because the -planet score kills you once the mindworms start getting busy (or when they come after you with psi units).
Credentials don't necessarily have to be accredited; the SCA is hardly unique in having expert hobbyists on particular subjects.
I should hope that Citizendium at least allows unrestricted commentary from registered users, so your Laurel could at least act in an advisory capacity. CZ probably does need some kind of advisor role inbetween user and expert so that it's not completely dependent on lettered academics (nothing against academics, but I don't think the pool is going to be that large). Said Laurel still need citations, such as the manuscripts themselves... I imagine the bibliography entry for them is itself a challenge!
My brother has been the A&S minister for a kingdom going on 10 years or so now (I don't feel like calling him out, sorry), and he can tell you that Laurels are not always deserved in every instance... it's often a rather political process.
It's true that credentials don't automatically equal veracity, even when subjected to peer review. What's hard to dispute however is that they're still far more trustworthy than the current situation in Wikipedia. Did you know phlegm causes vomiting in rodents? That's a fact that was in WP before I deleted it for lack of a cite, let alone the dubiosity (no, I'm not particularly fascinated with phlegm: I was looking up the notion of "humours", e.g. phlegmatic, and surfed there). That's wikiality for you.
As long as you don't mind advertisements being stuck to the bottom of every file. I can fix just about everything that yahoo mail does with adblock, greasemonkey, or other cleverness (and I only even block the really obtrusive stuff) but I can't keep them from sticking their sig on the bottom of every mail I send. That's why I don't use yahoo mail for anything but registrations.

That, fellas, is why you separate the logic out into templates. Any "language" that makes me have constructs like <%}%> needs to have a stake driven through its black heart.
Shouldn't you set the date to Feb 2 then? Besides, most stuff with expiration these days phones home and won't run if it can't. Pretty hard to fool that.
> Since DomainKeys are not part of SMTP and since - other than a verbal/written PayPal request - there is no requirement for SMTP servers to discard unsigned e-mails,
You seem to be under the impression that MTA == SMTP server. Their job is to transfer messages: policy regarding transfer (including whether it's transferred at all) is part of the package, and RFC2822 headers have been the province of the MTA from day 1 (Received headers for instance). Some MTAs even speak other protocols.
I do this stuff for a living, and obviously I'm not going to drop all mail that doesn't have domainkeys (it's got what, a 0.000001% adoption rate?). But if Paypal claims that all their legitimate outbound mail has domainkeys, then it's a really cheap heuristic for me to drop anything from them that lacks one. You don't need to write an RFC for every local policy.
> At the moment, since mail clients don't know anything about DomainKeys, we have NO WAY of knowing if mail really is from PayPal.
Domainkeys don't need support in the MUA -- the MTA can discard messages failing a domainkey check before it even gets to the user.
If Paypal is officially saying "drop all mail from an address @paypal.com that doesn't have a domainkey", I'll be happy to oblige. I'll bet you a stack of gold bars (smuggled out of Nigeria of course) that they have third-party marketers that don't use them. No skin off my back as a user, but as an admin I'd find myself as usual being the one paying for their incompetence.
Also check out Prado for a component-oriented framework along the lines of JSF or ASP.NET (its design seems to be inspired more by the latter). I deeply loathe PHP, but Prado does look very nice.
> It would be nice to simplify the process down to be just as easy as setting the fan on top of it.
I have no problems with the paste, but "setting the fan on top of it" has tended to be a nightmare of little clips and screws and adaptor thingamajiggies for various socket designs, and when I'm done, half those little parts are still in the box, and I wonder if I forgot one or more of them.
Price point means something when you're looking at a supply and demand graph (price points are "ideal" prices that actual prices hover around), but yeah it's a really stupid term outside of that.

Partner, nothing. I think there's a very good chance they might buy Valve.

Wikipedia is never going to require credentials. Citizendium does. I think there's room for both.
