Can this be used to get around a broken NFS lock configuration
like I have on our branch's cluster?

I didn't think that locking on nfs was ever really all that safe. I've
seen it fail too often.

Isn't this an extension of the right-wing emphasizing time and time again that Obama's middle name is Hussein? It seemed to be OK under Bush Jr's administration to condone disgusting anti-Muslim racism. I heard right-wing radio commentators regularly talking about "towel-heads" in the years following 9/11. The xenophobia that was expressed on a daily basis from the right-wing (i NEVER heard this kind of talk from the left) was sickening. I don't like using the word hate, but I came very close to hating the American right-wing at this time. Now I just apply the phrase "righteous indignation".

I thought that Romney at least had ethics on his side, but I'm revising that opinion.

I don't think you're stupid at all. But I don't believe your thinking is

I don't understand that sentence. Probably doesn't matter.

It's one thing to share policies, it's another to imply that Romney shares
the same idiotic ideas expressed by Akin. Unless you think they're
equivalent, too.

Here we go again. Not all Rs do that. Some do it again and again.

RW talk show hosts are entertainers, not politicians, not elected officials,
less representative of Rs than you think. I'm not even sure they believe
what they say. Which is not to defend them in any way. I heard the
expression towel-head used in various TV shows that put those words unto the
mouths of RWers. I'm not sure I ever heard a talk show host or politician
use the expression. Can you povide some examples?

Based on what? Completely disavowing what Akin said and asking him to
withdraw? Regarding Romney's supposed extreme position on abortion, I don't
get that, like I said the other day, since that's not the Mormon Church's
official position. Does Romney have to take that position (no abortions, no
exceptions) to get money from the R base? How much of that base actually
holds that position?

He was trying to link Romney to Akins idiotoc statement about "legitimate"
rape victims not being able to conceive. As I've already indicated, I don't
approve of legislation that prohibits abortion entirely, but don't equate
the two things. That's what Obama tried to do, IMO

No. Akin said something biologically incorrect. Romney disavowed it.
Unconditionally. It's true they apparently favor the same policy vis a vis
abortion (though agreeing to sign the legislation isn't quite the same
things as being aggressive in bringing it about, but never mind that).
It's your inability to respect opinions different than your own that causes
you to be unable to distinguish the "badness" of Akin's comment about
"forcible rape" and a particular view on abortion.

I've seen no effort by the President to link Romney to the idiotic Adkin
ideas about rape. The idiotic policy on abortion, yes.

Nope.

Again, I marvel at the way your knee-jerk reaction is to defend the
indefensible when the subject is some RW hack like Mitt Romney.
Multiple-choice Mitt they call him. The list of issues upon which Mitt
has expressed diametrically opposed positions is staggering. I won't
recount them all here because we all know what they are, as do you,
Bob.

So how is it hyperventilating to point out an obvious truth? Either
Mitt was lying when he said in November that he would sign a
personhood amendment, or he was lying this week when he said he's OK
with abortion in a few instances. Both cannot be true.

If I was being charitable, I'd say Mitt was stupid and acting lie an
asshole. Unfortunately, it's obvious that he's more craven than that.
