Phoronix: Wayland/Weston 0.95 Land In Ubuntu 12.10
Wayland and the reference Weston compositor have been updated against the upstream version 0.95 release for the packages to be found in the forthcoming Ubuntu 12.10 release...
Aaaand... crash during startup, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...n/+bug/1029223
As usual nobody tests weston builds even for simple running. Way to go, wayland!
The problem is that there is NO choice at all.
YEAH, you read it right !
These things start always in the same way....ALWAYS....1st you have a choice to use it or not then it's imposed on you and will be a nightmare to try to get rid of it if not impossible....and UBUNTU is one of the "best" distro examples of precisely that.
Applications don't run just because the ports are not complete yet, they will not ship crippled applications. The first use for Wayland will be with XWayland, you'll have your Xorg desktop unaltered until there isn't a viable alternative.
p.s. Please, use Slackware if you don't like changes, I haven't never read of doctors recommending Ubuntu.

Scoutfish, I'd be willing to bet the Ebay sellers aren't Eagles, despite any claims made to the contrary.(This message has been edited by tenbears)

Centenial Rank Badges Restricted?Page Title Module
Move Remove Collapse
Conversation Detail Module
new posts
The only Badge an Eagle Scout over the age of 18 should be able to purchase is the Adult Eagle Knot. They can't wear the individual patches so have no need to purchase them.
There are legitimate reasons for buying ranks, esp Eagle. Venturers can wear the Eagle badge on their uniform until they turn 21. One of my scout shop staff Eagled at 18 and loved the fact that when he worked the summer camp trading post, he could wear his Eagle on the Venturing green shirt. Too bad the boss would only let him wear the Venturing uni at camp and not at the regular shop.
As for why I have bought Eagle patches after 18, 1) for table tops for my troop ( each eagle has a table decoration with an eagle badge, his name, year, and a point of the Scout Law. Since I worked for the shop, I would buy advancement for the troop) 2) for presentations, and 3) trade (yep I traded an Eagle badge for both a British and Canadian Queeen's Scout award. I also traded a set of BSA ranks for a set of British ranks.)
I can tell you that part of the reason why BSA is so strict is because of Ebay. But even before the net, they were strict b/c folks would try and but things. Trust me, Halloween and Mardi Gras wer the biggest times when folks who had nothing to do with the BSA try and buy uniforms.
Interesting thread revival ...
A sad commentary indeed when the organization that issues the Eagle doesn't have faith in the recipients.
It's a sad commentary that some people think having earned Eagle gives you more privileges, or makes you "better," or puts you a step ahead of someone who "just" earned Life. Or Tenderfoot. Or First Class.
All Eagle means is that you fulfilled a certain set of requirements as a boy, not that you're some sort of superhuman as an adult. Is it impressive and worthy of recognition? Certainly. But an Eagle card or knot or badge doesn't open doors to you that are closed to someone else.
I have very little patience with obsessive collector types. No individual Scouter truly needs a second or third collection of all the rank badges. Scouts get one badge; that's all any Scouter should have.
If a unit wants to get an extra badge to make a special plaque or presentation to a recipient, as Eagle92 described, I'm sure that a letter from the SM, CC or COR to the shop manager would suffice. That's not what's being talked about here.(This message has been edited by shortridge)
I applaude you reaching the rank of Eagle, however that does not entitle you to receive patches that were only available to be earned during the centennial year. Yes, you can purchase replacement patches that you have earned, however, if you did not earn them in the centennial year, then the scout shops are right in not selling them to you. My son earned his Second Class rank in 2010, and I had to submit additional paperwork in order for him to receive a 2nd badge for his back up uniform.
Truefully folks not all scout shops are equal or enforce the rules equally. The shop in my area is a National one and I can and have gone in there and purchased Eagle patches and medals for gifts without any paperwork and never was questioned once. This is true for many other so called restricted items as well.
Way too much hand wringing.
I am a firm believer that if someone wants to buy a BSA medal, a patch, a doo dad, a gee gaw, a whatever, from ebay or the local pawnshop, or from an estate sale, or a garage sale, more power to them.
The inconsistent national/local scout shops? Gotta follow the rules, but the rules should make sense. If someone needs an extra first class patch, it shouldn't be a huge ordeal to get it.
If someone wants to collect all 57 variations of the Eagle medal, have at it. Whether the person is an Eagle scout is immaterial--at least to me.
Why? These medals and patches represent the accomplishments and future potential of the recipient--the items aren't the accomplishment themselves. Nor are they holy objects. They are bits of cloth and metal.
The most important things in scouting are not the badges, but rather the Spirit of Scouting.(This message has been edited by desertrat77)
Desert; I think most people annoyed by it are talking about "current" awards that require paperwork to get them to start with. There have been a few sellers on eBay that have somehow been able to offer the various 2010 items to anyone, often in sets, but also by piece, and they have been doing it to "make a profit", not to put in a collection. For me, it is particularly annoying to see brand new Silver Buffalo awards and Distinguished Eagle kits being offered. The really sad thing is that, assuming they are real, someone is getting them to the sellers beneath the in place rules.
For me, that indicates at least two dishonest individuals who are trying to make a profit on something that is supposed to have special meaning.
JMHO of course.
Skeptic, thanks for the clarification, I see what you are saying.
Those unscrupulous individuals wouldn't be sneaking & selling this stuff if there weren't a market for it. My apologies if I offend any collectors - but why do you need a whole set of badges that you didn't earn? Why do you pay beaucoup bucks for patches that you can't even wear?
Shortridge, from what I've seen, those who amass exhaustive collections of scout items (or specialize in Eagle medals, etc.) do it for the same reason folks collect super bowl rings, football jerseys of famous players, etc. Even though they didn't play in the super bowl, or wear the jersey personally, they love the history and significance of the items. And the thrill of pursuit.
I admit I got mixed emotions on Ebay. On one side I have bought Scouting memorabilia off of ebay. A good bit of my collection was at my mom's house still and Katrina hit, losing everything. So I have bought things that I'm trying to replace. OA flaps from my youth are the #1 thing
I have also bought things from events I've been too, but couldn't afford to get, or unable to get at the time. Some WSJ items come to mind. And I have bought some things to have an extra in my collection.
And yes I am still waiting to buy a 1990 75th OA Anniversary dangle that I earned but never received b/c national was out of them by the time my lodge's order was placed. That's on hold as a the price always go over what I can afford.
I know I've sold stuff, mostly flaps and CSPs, in order to raise funds to go back to school. So I can understand why people sell.
But I do have a problem with those who sell restricted items on a regular basis purely for profit. I personally do not understand it.
The Centennial Rank badges are for those who earned the rank in 2010. They aren't supposed to be for collecting. My oldest son was lucky--he earned AOL, Scout and Tenderfoot in 2010. My youngest almost as lucky--he earned Webelos in 2010.

Annuity rates do vary greatly depending on your circumstances.
- If you have certain health or lifestyle conditions you could get significantly more income.
- Annuities offered by different insurance companies can vary greatly if you're in good health.
- We'll shop around using your right to the open market option and compare annuity quotes from all companies to help you maximise your retirement income.
How much extra income you'll receive depends on the precise nature of your condition(s). The percentage extra shown can apply irrespective of the size of your pension fund. Over 1,500 different conditions can be taken into consideration, including many mild conditions. See more examples of enhanced annuity rates.
Best annuity rates 2013
The best annuity rates are normally payable to individuals with certain health or lifestyle issues. However, you don't have to be seriously ill to qualify for the best annuity rates. Many people miss out on a higher income because they're not aware their lifestyle or medical conditions could increase their income.
If you currently suffer from certain medical conditions, or if you have sometime in the past, you could qualify for a
significantly higher income. Certain aspects of your lifestyle could mean you qualify for a higher income: smoking, drinking, being overweight, for example.
Why does income from annuities vary so much?
Income from annuities is based on various factors – age, health, lifestyle, size of pension fund, and whether you require a level or an increasing income – and they do vary greatly.
In simple terms, your life expectancy effects the income you'll be offered from annuities, and, if you have any medical or lifestyle issues, the insurance company will assume you have a shorter than average life expectancy, so they'll pay you more income each month, as they expect to be paying you for a shorter period of time – your pension fund isn't expected to have to last as long.
Conversely, your income will be lower if you're in good health because the insurance company will assume you have a longer life expectancy, and therefore they'll pay you less each month, because they'll expect to be paying you for a longer period of time.
Annuity quotes
We'll find you the best retirement income by comparing annuity quotes from all leading companies. The best annuity rates can make a huge difference to your retirement income, especially if you have any health or lifestyle issues.

Paluszek returns to Youth/Junior Biathlon Worlds
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
FARMINGTON — Biathlon is a sport that Mikaela Paluszek thoroughly enjoys, but is not one she gets to spend an abundance of time practicing.
She is a member of the school's crew and cross-country ski teams, and when she can find the time, she tries to hone her biathlon skills.
Paluszek got some shooting in over the summer in Craftsbury, Vt., and again over the Thanksgiving break. There is a biathlon range with targets there and a Nordic ski course, so she was able to work on both disciplines.
After her rough first day in Minnesota, Paluszek said she was "mentally prepared for the second race and knew what was coming."
According to Paluszek, the sprint has two shootings and three skiing loops and the pursuit has four shootings and five loops. A competitor must shoot from two different positions in each race: prone and standing.
"In a sprint, the first lap I concentrate on my skiing, my technique, my form," she said. "When I get to the shooting range, I forget about everything. It's me, my rifle and the target. If I hit the target, I hit the target. If I miss, oh well ... I move on."
When Paluszek gets to the last lap, she said, "I go for it. I let it out and ski as fast as I can."

Looking for Radar Detectors?Start shopping
Radar Detectors FAQ
» What is sensitivity? How does it differ from selectivity?
» What is the range of the radar detectors Crutchfield offers? Or, how far away will they pick up a radar signal?
» How much more range can be expected when stepping up to a detector described as increasing sensitivity?
» How do detectors offering "Shadow Technology" differ from "stealth" units?
» How often do radar detectors false?
|High-quality radar detectors, like this Passport 9500ix from Escort, can protect you from more than just a speeding ticket.
Q: What is sensitivity? How does it differ from selectivity?
A: Sensitivity is a measurement of how well a radar detector can pick up radar signals. The more sensitive the detector, the more likely it is to give you a timely warning. Selectivity refers to a detector's ability to detect police radar while ignoring such devices as automatic garage door openers and microwaves, which may operate on closely neighboring frequencies. A good radar detector offers an optimal balance between high selectivity and high sensitivity.
Q: What is the range of the radar detectors Crutchfield offers? Or, how far away will they pick up a radar signal?
A: This a difficult question to answer. Because terrain, weather conditions, strength of transmission, and frequency band (X,K,Ka) all exert influence on sensitivity, this measurement will vary. In general, test results reveal that detection from 1/2 to 1 mile away is possible, but cannot be guaranteed.
Q: How much more range can be expected when stepping up to a detector described as increasing sensitivity?
A: This question also falls into the difficult-to-answer category, but again, based on test results of similar models, the difference could be anywhere from 1/5 to 1/2 mile.
Q: How do detectors offering "Shadow Technology" differ from "stealth" units?
A: "Stealth" is a generic term used to describe any radar detector offering some type of VG-2 protection. This protection can take one of two forms. Detectors offering BEL's VG-2 Guard simply emit an alert and then shut down in the presence of VG-2.
On the other hand, units offering BEL's Shadow Technology emit an alert, but continue to offer uninterrupted protection in the presence of VG-2. Shadow Technology does this by masking the oscillation frequency of the detector, which hides it from police VG-2.
Q: What is Spectre?
A: Spectre is the next generation in radar detector detection (RDD) technology. Like VG-2, Spectre helps police identify drivers using radar detectors in areas where they are illegal, but it is far more accurate, has greater range, and can defeat most modern cloaking technologies. Fortunately, there are now radar detectors available that will provide some form of protection against this new technology.
Q: How often do radar detectors false?
A: Any radar detector will emit a false alert at least once in a while. Detectors false most frequently in the presence of other microwave-emitting equipment such as garage door openers and security systems, as well as other radar detectors.
To cut down on falsing, the units we offer give you a reliable mix of sensitivity and selectivity, as well as the ability to select city or highway mode. (Detectors are more likely to false in the city, where these other microwave-emitting devices are more numerous.)
Q: What are the advantages of a cordless radar detector?
A: Because no cord is needed for hook-up, a cordless detector gives you maximum placement flexibility and the easiest transfer between vehicles. It also leaves your 12V (lighter) socket free to accommodate other accessories like a cellular phone or portable CD player.

Latest update : 2012-11-26
Two Tunisian graffiti artists to face trial
Two street artists from Tunisia are awaiting trial. An American woman is fired over a photo she posted to Facebook. And the Red Cross launches a website to help reunite families with loved ones.
Two Tunisian graffiti artists to face trial
"Graffiti is not a crime" - this campaign was launched by Tunisian web users in support of Oussama Bouagila and Chahine Berriche, the two students arrested on November 3 as they were drawing graffiti in Gabès in south eastern Tunisia.
They were stopped for, amongst other things, causing a public disturbance; they have been released, pending their trial, scheduled for December 5. In this video posted to independent collective blog Nawaat, Oussama says that at the moment they were caught be police they were writing a message on a wall which read "the people want rights for the poor".
Both men belong to "Zwewla" a group of street artists that paints messages bearing social demands on walls, with tags confronting problems including unemployment and poverty.
The blog Tawa Fi Tunis from the website Slate Afrique, explains that this network of artists brings together young people who feel discriminated or marginalized and think that around two years on from the uprising against the Ben Ali regime, nothing has changed for the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
Many Tunisians feel the charges made against the Gabès graffiti artists represent an infringement on their freedom of expression. Female blogger Lina Ben Mehnni for example recently took part in a support rally for the two artists, staged in Carthage.
USA: woman fired over "disrespectful" Facebook photo
Posting a photo on social networks can have serious consequences. This is something Lindsay Stone has learnt, the 30 year old American woman was fired from her job last week after posting this shot to her Facebook page. We see her making a rude gesture and pretending to scream next to a sign in the Arlington military cemetery in Virginia; a sign asking for "silence and respect". She thought it was funny, but it has had quite the opposite reaction.
The photo soon went viral, sparking widespread outrage across the country. It has shocked many who feel Stone's photo is disrespectful to soldiers who died on the front line. Angry netizens soon took to the web to make her pay for her offensive photo, posting messages to Facebook, or starting e-petitions like this one, urging her employer to fire her.
Lindsay Stone was taken aback by the backlash and tried to defend herself via the web, saying she did not want to upset anyone, and the photo was just meant to be a bit of fun. But the charitable organization for which she worked didn't see it that way and decided to end her employment last Friday, making it clear that in no way did the photo represent the opinions or values of the organization.
New Red Cross website for families scattered by crises
The International Committee of the Red Cross has set up a website to help reunite families ripped apart by conflicts and natural disasters around the world. The online platform hopes to help families in their search for missing loved ones, and relies on a vast network of volunteers already on the ground. The system has already proved its worth, particularly so after the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan back in March 2011.
A guide to legal marijuana use in Seattle
Voters from the North-western US State of Washington recently legalized the recreational use of marijuana. And so from the 6th of December, over 21s will be able to legally carry around one ounce, that's 28 grams of marijuana. The Seattle police has posted a practical guide online to help smokers understand what this change in legislation will mean to them, an initiative that is already proving popular, and the light hearted tone employed by law enforcement officials has gone done particularly well with web users.
Video of the day
Discover the wonderful landscapes and hidden beauties of Alaska … filmed in July, this video, entitled "Uncharted Waters" was put together by Devin Supertramp. A beautiful piece of work that will no doubt make many web users want to go and see this northwestern extremity of the North American continent for themselves.

The toll taken by the fiery crash on U.S. 395 in August has increased, with a fourth victim succumbing to injuries.
The California Highway Patrol reported that John Nathan Adams, a popular coach with Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, died on Oct. 9 at Renown Medical Center in Reno after being taken off life support.
Officer Laura Roberts, public information officer for the CHP, said that the cause of death is listed as ŌĆ£multiple blunt force trauma and burns.ŌĆØ
A journal post written by his family on the Web site caringbridge.com said, ŌĆ£We did not arrive at this conclusion easily. We all know that John would have fought to the end and we, his family, are of the opinion that he has done so. His body fought so hard and he recovered from several injuries that even on their own would have each been life threatening. The damage to JohnŌĆÖs brain is just too extensive to overcome.ŌĆØ
Adams, 39, from Cardiff, was a passenger in the southbound Ford SUV that, for as yet unknown reasons, veered off the road, rolled through the deep asphalt median and into oncoming northbound traffic, burst into flames and struck a Ford van head-on. The van was also filled with student-athletes ŌĆō members of the California Baptist University cross-country team ŌĆō headed in the opposite direction en route to Mammoth for high-altitude training.
The crash left three dead at the scene, including the driver of the van, Corona resident Wendy Suzanna Rice, a 35-year old cheer team leader for Cal Baptist; Olivenhain resident Amanda Post, 18, a passenger in the SUV; and 17-year-old Natalie Nield, the SUVŌĆÖs driver from Carlsbad.
Adams was a private coach hired by the students and staff of the school to attend high-altitude training in Mammoth.
Bishop CHP Officer Dennis Cleland said the passing of Adams was ŌĆ£very unfortunate.ŌĆØ
Cleland added that two other passengers of the SUV are continuing their slow recoveries. Drew Constantine Dellis, 22, is recovering from third-degree burns and multiple body trauma and Derek Randall Thomas, 19, is recovering from third-degree burns over 85 percent of his body.
Those who lost their lives in the crash are receiving much deserved honors. Nield, for example, left an indelible impression on her friends and classmates, who built a house in her honor. Nield was president of the Cathedral Catholic Habitat for Humanity Club for her last two years of high school. The home was built on Thursday, Aug. 12, on what would have been NieldŌĆÖs 18th birthday.

My daughter loved the leather basket full of snacks but after two days I had to ask, 'Did you like the wine?' To which she replied, 'There was no wine.' I told her to empty the basket and she found the wine. Maybe a list of contents could accompany this gift. All told, I would definitely recommend it.

I am far away from home and missing my dad's birthday was sad. I decided to surprise him by sending him a wine basket. As a young adult I have no clue about wine but apparently this must have been very good since he said it lived up to great expectations. Out of everything he couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the basket was! It is a great surprise for anyone who could use a little wine in their life! Plus, great and on time delivery service.

california wine basket December 26, 2012
I sent a wine gift basket to my grandparents for Xmas. I called to ask how I was and they only mentioned the one bottle of wine...when there was supposed to be two. No one called to tell me that one bottle was left out. I don't know how I would ever know that one entire bottle was left our. It was a waste of money. I am happy that someone overnighted a bottle to them but I would have never known unless I asked what they had received.

Estelline downs St. Mary Cards 24-14
Scholten, Frost, Brown lead defense
The St. Mary players stayed close to their opponents during an away game last Friday, but host Estelline came away with the win in the ball game.After a hard-fought match, Estelline won the night, 24-14, bringing St. Mary's football record to 3-3 heading into the Arlington game this Friday."We played hard for the most part, but turnovers and penalties cost us in the end," coach Ross Flemmer said. "We'll have to try and rebound this week against Arlington."St. Mary topped its opponents in overall yardage gained, totaling 291 to Estelline's 271, while rushing yielded similar results, with the Cardinals topping out at 293 and the host team 193.Estelline made up for it in passing, though, as the team connected 78 gained yards to St. Mary's two.Coach Flemmer cited Jared Scholten's efforts on the defensive line, bringing down 11.5 tackles, while Jacob Frost totaled seven and Josh Brown 6.5.Brown additionally led the rushing charge, with 139 carries and 166 yards for a touchdown, while Ben Bunkers took on 21 carries, rushed 101 yards and brought in one touchdown.Christian Schnieders helped pushed the Cardinal cause with his three carries to rush for 26 yards.

Freeze whatever you can (even tinnies) and put milk bottles filled with water frozen in. A better quality insulated esky works great!

Help, Suggestions, Future of The D-Word
Difficulties with The D-Word? If you can't find the right answers on our Help page, please post in this topic. Ideas for future D-Word releases or projects can be posted here as well.
Views on News is stuck again.
I blame Reed.
People are getting anxious in there. I fixed it again.
yo-my advanced search feature doesn't seem to be working.
It's working here. Please be more specific, Kurt:
What are your search terms and settings?
What browser/OS?
Ben-after reading your post i tried it on my PC using firefox and it worked, which it wasnt' on a Mac osX with Safari.
so, i guess it's working. kinda.
you know what would be handy? being able to search posts by people who wrote them. just a thought.
I think I asked the same thing a while ago. It would be great b/c sometimes I remember that someone, let's say Kurt Engfehr, posted something important a while back about, let's say, the art of filming roadrunners. Then I could just punch in "Kurt" and "roadrunner" and it would narrow down the postings immensely. Currently it only seems to search the name if it's mentioned in the post. Though I suppose the workaround is we could all start signing our posts. The other thing I find odd is that, when we do search a keyword, it brings up the posts in no particular order. It would be great if it could bring them up in chronological order, starting with the most recent. That way I could at least get recent roadrunner discussions and not ones had in 1999.
(no roadrunners were harmed in the making of this post)
Search results are ordered by relevance. And tagged postings come first.
Just tag whatever posts you find useful, and you'll easily find them again without any need for a search.
And: this is the Beta.
How does it determine relevance if you only have one keyword? Also isn't it searching on all tags, not just mine? Or is it only searching on my tags?
P.S. For a Beta, D-Word is amazing. No major complaints. Just suggestions for the next version if and when it comes.
thing about the tags is that, we didn't tag shit a few years ago.
we will have search by user and different sort options in the next version... some time in the next few months. The search-my-tags-only thing is also in the pipeline...
How does it determine relevance? Tags first (as Ben said) and then using a full-text search algorithm. If you really want to understand it, see here but it's awfully technical.
Peter, silent man behind the architecture, thank you again for devoting so much time to structuring this with the co-helmers. Happy New Year.
Hosts, FYI, I just did a search on "batteries" to find the very helpful post that Kurt recently posted related to the new restrictions on lithium batteries so I could share the info with someone offlist. I did find the post, but ahead of it were other posts with the word "batteries," all of which were older posts and none of which were tagged (Kurt's posting was tagged). Just thought you should know...
I'm new here, so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. This may be less of a help issue than it is a request. I just registered to get my "enthusiast" designation and have really been enjoying exploring the areas of this site I have access to. One of the things I know I (and I would guess many others in my shoes) would benefit from is some sort of public forum containing documentary reviews or recommendations. I am always looking for suggestions from people who are as into docs as I am. I live in a rural area, which limits my ability to see more obscure films (ones not available on Netflix). I'm not sure how complicated something like this would be, but it's just a thought. Thanks so much for this site! I'm glad I found it.
good suggestion, chris. we had a favorite docs topic for a while, but it petered out in time and we archived it. alas, accessible to d-word members only. it's well worth thinking of doing something public in that way.
could do a list of the favorite films of d-worders – a doc filmmakers list of films for doc lovers – based on the multiple lists and recommends we've all made over the years.
Has anyone suggested the feature of allowing registered users of this site to send msgs to each other? The general format of the topics board here is kinda new to me and I'm still trying to get used to it. But the tagging feature helps a lot!
if you fill out your profile we have access to your email address for private messages.
I love the new D-Word and its simplicity has really helped me get more involved. Thanks to everyone for all of the incredible work that went into this new platform!
I do have a question/possible feature request. Is there a way for me to use one e-mail address to receive my e-mail digest from D-word but then to a display a different e-mail in my profile? This would be convenient as I'm guessing that, like me, many people have multiple e-mail addresses and use some for list subscriptions, some for business contact, etc.
Functionally, I guess this would mean that instead of having the option under "settings" to hide e-mail address, there would be two options: one to hide primary e-mail address and another to hide "other" e-mail address.
Thanks for your proposal, Robert.
Does anyone else see the need for this?
Ben, that would be useful (but not esssential) for me also.
I would also like a feature where I could be permanently logged in at all times, i.e. where your server would remember my IP address.
But again, these are not critical isues. It's an awesome site and I'd love to earn my membership soon!
Log-in to The D-Word is cookie-based, not IP-based.
But we can throw a "keep me logged in" option onto the feature list if people want this. However, all modern browsers offer to remember log-in details for you, so the proposed feature is not really a necessity these days, is it?
Vis-a-vis, Robert B's request: Maybe I missed something, but what is the e-mail digest? Is this a new feature where there's a summary of all the postings of the day? Or is this just like the old "notify me of postings following mine" option from the Utne days. Personally I don't feel like I get so many postings from D-Word that I would need to have a separate e-mail account for them. But if it's not a problem to implement this change for folks who would want it, sure why not.
On permanent logins, again I don't feel strongly about it, though it would be nice. When I'm using Firefox at home, it remembers the log-in details. At work, I'm using Explorer and it doesn't remember them (maybe b/c oursets us to not remember cookies, but I'm not sure – it remembers my Gmail login automatically). If permanent login is an option, It would still be good to have an easy way to sign in and out. I never figured out how to do that with Utne and, as a result, visiting D-Worders to my home couldn't log me out and re-log-in as themselves to post stuff.
Email digests can be selected at the bottom of each Topic or on the My Topics page. You'll receive the new postings in the selected Topics by email rather than by logging in. Not just a notification.
As for logging out, you had to close the browser with Cafe Utne (one of previous platforms). Now, you can just use the Log out on the top right of every page.
