To me, "0 Objects" implies that you have no hands, no arms, or you're blind.

To me, juggling 0 objects means you can only do one thing at a time, which means you are juggling nothing.

I wonder how common forced/coerced incest is among 2-child families where the male is 2-10 years older than the female

You know, women can commit sexual assault too... Assuming a sexual aggressor is always male is the same kind of reasoning as the parents who assume a stranger is more likely to kidnap their child. Our society seems to hold less animosity towards female-on-male sexual abuse, but it still happens.

If only that would happen to me.

Mail and DNS is easy, just add backup MX records with lower priority. For Web, not so much.

The real solution is getting your own AS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet) ) and PI range from your RIR. It costs about $1700 initially with $100 a year for maintenance. This will allow you to do real seamless failover.

Did you even Read the Summary????

He is trying to SEND email, he doesn't mention any difficulties in receiving it.
Having their own AS won't solve things regardless of whether it is coming or going, unless they have their own (at least) /24 and they are multihomed.

The only real options here are the following.
a. Use the ISP's mail server as a smart host and send all email through their server.
b. Get the ISP to issue you with a real PTR record that isn't just some default record from the ISP.
c. Go to another ISP.
d. Get a VPS and send all your email through it.

Piezo Crystals Harness Sound To Generate Hydrogen 187

MikeChino writes "Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that a mix of zinc oxide crystals, water, and noise pollution can efficiently produce hydrogen without the need for a dirty catalyst like oil. To generate the clean hydrogen, researchers produced a new type of zinc oxide crystals that absorb vibrations when placed in water. The vibrations cause the crystals to develop areas with strong positive and negative charges — a reaction that rips the surrounding water molecules and releases hydrogen and oxygen. The mechanism, dubbed the piezoelectrochemical effect, converts 18% of energy from vibrations into hydrogen gas (compared to 10% from conventional piezoelectric materials), and since any vibration can produce the effect, the system could one day be used to generate power from anything that produces noise — cars whizzing by on the highway, crashing waves in the ocean, or planes landing at an airport."
