Is it April 1 somewhere?
Like one needs evidence to sanction something these days. And pot calling the kettle black, etc, etc.
Nothing to see here.

Watch for unpaid internships at Sony legal!
Talk about something more useful, then put amateur radios into cars...
The study, published in the journal Science, found four phases of metabolic life:
"It is a picture we've never really seen before and there is a lot of surprises in it," one of the researchers, Prof John Speakman, from the University of Aberdeen, said.
"The most surprising thing for me is there is no change throughout adulthood — if you are experiencing mid-life spread you can no longer blame it on a declining metabolic rate."

Maybe they can start at the backbones by converting to IPv6 and NAT to the rest of the world. Then, they can implement IPv6 as they reach out and keep pushing the NAT farther and farther out until it's at the ISP level (where hopefully they've been starting to work on their own IPv6 implementation).
What we really should do it have a cut off day, like digital TV, for the switch to IPv6. It worked great for TV!

SP1 will be out soon, most everything has been working up until now. 99% of business apps are approved for 7. Corporates need new desktops anyway, as their XP ones are most likely 5+ years old and dying.
Go go go!
Xcel energy gives you a discount on your summer electricity bill if you participate in the program and they install it for free. I've only seem them shut off the AC a handful of times during typical summer. When it's off, it's not off for very long, maybe 15-30 minutes max. I believe they call it the Super Saver Switch or something like that.
It's so humid up here in the summer you gotta run your AC a lot. In AZ it's drier and maybe not as big of an issue to keep houses cool (the architecture differences also help too).

I don't want to consciously learn any of them, but if stories came around that discussed those topics that I inadvertently learned something without my knowledge, I wouldn't object.

I naturally didn't RTFA but it sounds like a diesel to me. Diesel engine already have greater economy from less volatile fuel. The fuel itself isn't heated, the cylinders are heated via glow plugs at start, and then by the combustion itself afterwards. More gas engine should go to direct injection first.
Or just skip all these "inventions" and keep refining the diesel engine. The latest iteration of the Mercedes diesel is very smooth and incredibly quiet (rivaling gas engines in the same model car) with greater output.

Exactly. Sounds more like you should me sending resumes then trying to convince the bosses of something they do not care about. Typically, something bad has to happen until everyone is on board. And it has to affect the bottom line.
I would approach with a very automated backup system. Something that requires no interaction on their part, that is invisible to them. Like a CrashPlan or Data Deposit Box account. Set it to backup all their main folders and some other places where files might land by accident. It's cheap protection. They even send you e-mail alerts if the backup agent hasn't communicated in a week so you know something is not working, without having to take their laptop from them all the time.
No backup system is perfect, but there are certain tools for certain situations that make it better. And no one will sign anything to release you of liability, you're an employee. Besides, that's hurting the company, not helping it.

I've taken similar herbals expecting the same or better results and not realized any.
I take a 90mg gelcap and the effect lasts for about 3 hours every time.
It's pretty predictable to be placebo.
Again, from what I've learned it's a circulation issue. Ginkgo increases circulation to the brain and other extremities and that helps your cognitive function. I don't have any issues with my extremities so I can't comment about that.
My wife tried some (she is typically very focused already) and she said it had no effect. So I'd agree that it doesn't work for everyone but does for some.

I take it regularly throughout the day, every day, and it makes a huge difference for me in memory and calmness of thought. I get so worked up sometimes trying to multitask everything.. it really helps focus. I can definitely tell when I've taken it and when I haven't.
Too bad it doesn't help the dementia patients. Their circulatory system may be too weak to provide the increased blood flow to the brain that ginkgo enhances.
