Especially solar cells and carbon fiber windmills. All that nasty fossil silicon and fossil carbon from previous supernova. It's clearly a limited resource, in any case.

Sure it can... but for the love of God--why??
Portability of learned skills means you don't have to re-train your workers.
I think you will find that most MLM software uses correct additional headers. At least listserv and mailman (for the lists that I manage) do. We've been playing nicely with ISPs for years on our lists, we create no spam (once we fixed the bounceback spam problem 3 years ago) and generally are among the more well-behaved email users around. The problem is that Yahoo's implementation of DMARC is not using the additional headers. All it looks at is From.
Not a problem, if you leave the "From:" line the hell alone, and only add new headers, per RFC 5322, and RFC 2919, etc.. It can look at the From line all it wants, and as far as it's concerned, as long as the rest of the headers are unadulterated, your list server is an intermediate relay server in the SMTP routing path.

So the ether theory is back on the table?
Clearly, if the Earth is in fact the center of the universe, any repeat of the Michelson–Morley experiment would fail to detect a drift through the ether, since the Ether is in the same inertial reference frame as the Earth.
So, it's possible that there's ether, and the assumptions about Earth *not* being the center of the universe are what's responsible for the negative result, we just interpreted it incorrectly.
What is the point of inferring that all "cultures" are equally valuable? What a ridiculous argument.
Is that a straw man for the claim that deaf culture is as valuable as hearing culture?
Back when the Internet Mail Consortium was a thing, we established best common practices for mailing lists, and most of them were vehemently against mailing list servers rewriting mail headers. Some popular MLM software rewrites standard headers, which breaks DMARC SPF implementations.
The thing to do here is to fix the MLM software to use the correct additional headers, rather than rewriting the headers the DMARC policy feels are important; in addition, this would allow the DMARC policy to "whitelist" based on the attached headers, assuming everything else wasn't a black mark, and avoid the "greylisting" that would happen ordinarily with most SPAM filtering systems in "medium posture" rather than "low posture" (i.e. the ones that have the concept of "suspect email" as a middle ground).
The idea that this "breaks all the IETF mailing lists" is basically alarmist BS - the IETF mailing lists are run on an individual basis, they aren't all hosted on a single machine out there, which is why they have varying degrees of SPAM and signal/noise ratios. So to claim that e.g. Namedroppers (the IETF DNS Working Group) mailing list server is impacted the same way the one Levin is all upset about is, is disingenuous.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force in force since 2001 is legally the same as a declaration of war.
No, it is not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
Unless you are claiming Snowden participated in the 9/11 attacks? Otherwise, this has no such force relative to the War Powers Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, U.S. Constitution),
Even were you correct (you aren't), it would have to be done with military force, according to that law.
Dunno, but from my observations modern humans seem stressed not not overly happy (though, they have toys and are well fed).
I think you need to have lived like these people before you can make any assessment here.
I agree. Send him in to contact them... wait...
PS: Even if he was tried and found guilty of every charge leveled against him, since we are not legally in a state of war, not having a set of articles of war signed by the president, and ratified by congress, there is no death penalty available for purported acts of treason.
PPS: Federal executions are carried out by lethal injection. Of the 3 federal executions carried out since 1963, all three - Timothy McVeigh, Juan Raul Garza, and Louis Jones, Jr., were all killed by lethal injection.
The post you are replying to obviously means the "electric chair," not a committee chair. Besides, the only upper house of a legislature that Snowden would have any chance at is more properly called the "Federation Council of Russia," not the Senate. Snowden is singularly unsuitable for any office of trust in the United States, and it is inconceivable that any American political party having a majority of the US Senate would appoint him.
Congressional Research Service: "Once a person meets the three constitutional qualifications of age, citizenship and inhabitancy in the State when elected, that person, if duly elected, is constitutionally “qualified” to serve in Congress, even if a convicted felon."
Also given that U.S. Senators are about the only people who can get off the "no fly list" because of their special status as senators, being a senator would probably excuse pretty much and current or past conduct by Snowden, just as it excused past conduct by Sen. Roderick Wright (8 felony convictions, set aside for prosecutorial misconduct; too bad Aaron Swartz didn't have the same judge).
FWIW, Snowden is currently eligible, if he wants, to run for a senate seat in Pennsylvania, so he could conceivably be run against Bob Casey, Jr. (Democrat) or Pat Toomey (Republican).
Being a senator would certainly render him as "above the law" as other senators are/have been.
The chair for this guy when he's caught.
We'd have to elect him to the Senate, and get him on the Intelligence Committee, afte which he'd need a few years of seniority before he could get the chair.
But yeah, I agree with you: he'd make an excellent Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Except the elite will face an entirely different set of challenges from environmental and social problems than the rest of us - short of large-scale biological or nuclear warfare they, their families, and their chosen associates will be well insulated from the repercussions of their actions, and will in fact be in a position to consolidate power to an extent not seen in centuries. And I imagine they're probably quite capable of weathering catastrophic wars as well, though it may be a bit less comfortable.
Well, given that they have to breathe the same air as you, and all the really desirable, expensive property is in coastal regions like The Hamptons, San Francisco, Rhode Island, Manhattan, etc., and therefore prone to flooding due to sea levels rising, you would at least not have to worry about either of those things.
Unless they are building a secret space station under the direction of Jodie Foster, and have a foolproof plan to keep Matt Damon out?
Honestly, I rather hope we don't master greatly increasing lifespans for the time being - we've got way too many existing social and environmental issues to deal with that would be greatly complicated by drastically increasing the lifespan of the average person, and I don't see anything good coming of granting "immortality" only to the elite.
If only we had a demographic with a lot of money and a vastly increased lifespan who has to live with their decisions of today and the consequences they have 400 to 500 years down the road. Then there would be a personal stake in solving things like existing social and environmental issues, rather than leaving them for the next generation to deal with because you find them personably survivable, at least for your limited lifespan.
Or maybe gentrification runs out the poor, hard working population along with the poor, criminal riff-raff.
I'm open for any suggestions you happen to have on running out the poor, criminal riff-raff, while leaving the poor, hard working population in place.
