we will become less dependent on fossil fuels and will become more dependent on fuels made from the sugars and chemicals found in plants.
Nothing too new there, i.e., the idea of biofuels eventually taking over from petroleum distillates. However, Saddler contends further that:
Similar to an oil refinery that processes crude oil to make thousands of supplementary products like plastics, dyes, paints, etc., the biorefinery would use leftover agricultural and forest material to make many of the same products, but from a sustainable and renewable resource.
I remember my organic chem instructor back in '81 telling us that eventually the textbooks would have to be rewritten. There would be no presumption of fractional distillation of thousands of basic compounds from petroleum, and the teaching emphasis would shift to synthesis from simple hydrocarbons. He noted that we'd all miss 'the good, ole days' when synthetic fibers, plastics, etc. were cheap...or even an economically viable option. I can live without rayon, but, dang, I'm gonna miss polyvinyl chloride!

There is a common misconception that the FDA has to approve security patches on systems. This is not the case. The FDA attempts to clarify this issue with the following statement:

Perhaps even more interesting is what this artist has done in the past.

It's almost surprising that they let him in the museum.
How long does it take you to have the IP addresses rerouted?
With Amazon's Elastic IPs, it takes seconds to reroute an IP address to another machine. Very handy in situations like these.
Unfortunately I don't have real data to backup my fading memory... however, IIRC from my previous job experience, spammers pay a fraction of what Amazon is charging to send spam. This isn't to say that someone isn't going to try to abuse the system.
This, however, might be a great service for quasi legal spammers -- businesses that send "newsletters" to customers who "opted in" to receive mail from the business and all of the people they sell personal information to.
As of Nov 5th, 2010, there is a bug with uck (Ubuntu Customization Kit) that prevents remastering Ubuntu when run on Ubuntu 10.10.
The problem arises because mkbootmsg was placed in another package, it is now in gfxboot-dev (instead of just gfxboot).
This would cause a 'command not found' error.
The workaround is installing gfxboot-dev like this:
sudo apt-get install gfxboot-dev
Enjoy your new custom Distro!
Apparently... LDAP hard codes the path of ldap.conf to

In order for LDAP to not require a valid certificate, one must add the following contents
