I always figured those were "dictionary spam". The newly registered domain record is public information. Prepending known words as mailbox names doesn't take any special information.
Sign up with an account like r1%t.y{sUy5ju@yourdomain.com (and don't ever use the address) and see if it ever gets spam.
Never did any of those. I work in industrial power systems, which has grown, but aside from insulation materials little of the 100-year-old stuff has been lost.
If there's one thing I've learned about diesel generators in over a decade in the telecom business, its that a diesel that isn't run to full operating temp and full load power on a regular basis (like, weekly?) simply will not run ever again. You'll find it faster (although not cheaper) to install a new gen rather than diagnose and replace the damaged / rusted / failed parts.
That's why standards (e.g. NFPA) relating to generators for life-safety require periodic load tests.
Now installing extremely hardened facilities to drop a new gen in place might be a valid good idea... A solid reinforced concrete pier for a air cooled gen on a barge? (Can't use water cooling after a tsunami, water is all full of "stuff"). Solid steel and concrete railroad siding with some extreme gadgetry to hook up a diesel electric to the plant. Even just a bulldozer accessible road and platform with cabling pre-run to the platform?
But you CAN use seawater (river water, lake water, etc.) for cooling-- you just need to keep the clean, treated cooling water in a closed loop, separated from the "other" water by a heat exchanger.
If I were a copper thief, I would just make friends with a demolition contractor, and sneak my stolen material into their scrap containers at a job site for cash; they could deliver it to the recycler with all the legitimate scrap.
Of course most of the copper thieves probably already work for demolition contractors and their business model involves sneaking it out of the scrap containers and selling it on their own for more cash!
She'll get a much better payday (but perhaps much poorer acting opportunities) if she files a suit against the entire casting industry for widespread age discrimination.
The demo scene has apparently come a long way since the days of "Swinth" on the Commodore 64. Maybe a scene will develop around the Microtouch that we saw on/. yesterday.
Too bad their website is such a cluttered mess built on what appears to be a default CMS template.
I fail to see how this would be detrimental to usability
I think you missed my point: I definitely wasn't saying it needed more scripts, or all that stuff you imagined I said. In fact I was saying exactly as you said, that it should be simple. upassoc.org may be simple from a code standpoint, but it is anything but simple from the standpoint of appearance and usability for a visitor who's never even heard of the org. (Which is who you should assume is coming to the index page). There's nothing inherently wrong with a default CMS template, but the one they chose seems not well suited to the site.

I think they meant to say: "It's really complicated compared to the average DIY Arduino shield with DIP sockets on it."

I'm gonna guess prosthetic limbs are immune to frostbite. Not sure about Nokia smartphones.
I'm not surprised this was done, but it's hard to believe that it wasn't done before.

The streisand effect could only benefit an unknown
From TFA: "...up-and-coming actress, such as the plaintiff..."

No. TFA says she provided the DOB when she signed up for an IMDB Pro account, believing it would be kept confidential.
From TFA, she also considers herself to be "up and coming", i.e. not well known yet.
I think he meant that she's probably really over 40 but not admitting it.

I'm gonna guess the images are in the microSD card and the 2.5k RAM is just for the program's working memory.
TFA has a link to buy preassembled for $69, but it's out of stock.
Looks like we were all too slow: NOON.
I immediately went out and filed a patent on "noon". Sorry folks, we're first to file now... you snooze you lose.
Good for you, but I already copyrighted it.
You both fail; I Trademark'd that shit years ago!
But for all those years you failed to refer to it as Noon®, so the trademark was considered abandoned. Now it's mine.
Slashdot got scooped by Language Log days ago...

It's Pressure Swing Adsorption, a gas separation process.
