sciencehabit writes "When we talk about the human microbiome, bacteria usually get all the press. But microscopic fungi live in and on us, too. New research shows that a little-known fungus called Pichia lives in healthy mouths and may play an important role in protecting us from an infection caused by the harmful fungus Candida. The friendly fungus makes a substance that may even lead to a new antifungal drug."

I don't think that's the point. I believe the point is that a dictatorship or single party rule is more efficient than a democracy or group run system.
Or it could be that the US is more in bed with the interests of businesses and is more likely to agree with them.
In any event, your reading of that isn't necessarily the correct one.

People who are 'not stamp collectors' generally don't form clubs around their 'not stamp collecting'. Or discussion groups about 'not stamp collecting'. They generally do not try to convince stamp collectors that they should not collect stamps. Etc...

Agreed. I'm an aviation enthusiast. I've never been in the cockpit of an airliner. I'm fairly confident I could reprogram the FMS of one in-flight to fly any route I wished. I've done it on flight sims that are fairly accurate, and they all tend to work about the same way.
Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night as well?

Yes. Someone makes this comment every time, for the last 9 years, since version 1.0.
Most people don't open a lot of windows and tabs at the same time. The people who do that are usually those doing serious research. For example, what to do about the changes in Google Voice coming in May, 2014?
The problem is much worse when many windows and tabs are open under the Windows OS and Windows is hibernated several times.

Firefox is unstable when many windows and tabs are open, even when using NoScript, Adblock, and Ghostery, as mentioned above.
Many crashes do not start the Crash Reporter.

Those are NOT ALL the crashes! Those are just the crashes that don't also crash the Crash Reporter.
