My ex-girlfriend and I... lived together for about four years and had a Netflix account. When we separated, I continued to use it and it's become mine basically. However, together... we rated so many movies on Netflix. Now, if she were to start a new Netflix account, she'd have to restart this process. I could see this happening on many sites where preferences and your history are tracked. I wonder if sites should allow you to clone/fork this sort of thing... or maybe sites should be providing a way for users to group their preferences and ungroup when necessary. After the Netflix, I'm keeping all my stuff separate because nothing lasts forever. ;-)

More info on the Yellowstone/Newberry hot spot tracks can be found with this search: http://www.google.com/search?q=yellowstone+newberr y+%22hot+spot+track%22

That isn't as clear a picture as the image you found would indicate. Research found by that search show the hot spot tracks for the Yellowstone WY and Newberry OR calderas appear to trace back to a common unexplained origin around the Owhyee Plateau on the OR/NV border.

Also note that even the meanest volcano can't produce enough pressure to cause shatter cones in rocks. If the pros confirm them, it would mean the only possible causes are an impact or a nuke.

That is not true. It hasn't been for a while. While a restart *does* restart the cache, e16 has been able to reload the bg cache without a restart for a while now. (there's a menu option for it, and you can even do it from a shell with IPC)

Where do you see that on the site? That most likely needs to be changed.

And besides, that's refering to e16, not e17.
