It would cost approximately $4500 to $6500 a day to barrel and dispose of that waste in a landfill or have it incinerated plus transportation costs, if it was just 6500 pounds of sludge and ammonia. The problem is that this waste is not separated, so it is mixed in with 21 million gallons of water and it would cost approximately 114 million dollars a day to barrel and dispose of that much material.
Separating out the material would cost considerably less but, depending on the method, could still be expensive enough to make refining heavy crude not profitable.
This would actually make getaways from crimes easier. If they change license plates before crossing the "ring of steel" then all the cops will spend hours looking inside the city while the terrorist is crossing the canadian border, since there's no way they could have left without having their plate pictured.
If a rich couple has a daughter they are more likely to get divorced in which case the money gets divided making each family now middle class, and then each side hires lawyers and dotes on the daughter(who has a never ending hunger for fancy things which depreciate quickly) which makes them both poor.
Therefore, it's not that the rich have more sons , it's that having a daughter will put you in the poorhouse. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Wow you sound like you're right on track to become middle management. Or maybe even assistant to the vice president if you really apply yourself and put in 20-30 years of consistent punctuality.
Advances in technology just provide advances in complexity and we gain whole new avenues of failure to traverse.

Basically unless there is a natural monopoly like with water and electricity systems are run more efficiently because there is competition and incentive to acheive better service at lower prices.
Look at what privatization has done to the price of broadband in europe.
You've got to get that game out the door so you can get a new batch of advertisers for your next game.
Look at what advertising has done for television. It used to be one company would fund a show entirely and they might break from the show once or twice an hour to tell you about that one product(how do you think soap operas got their name?) Now you're lucky if you get 30 minutes of showtime in an hour block and even during the shows they feel the need to have advertisements splash across the screen with their own sound effects sometimes covering up crucial images or dialogue.
Advertising in games might not sound that bad now but once they get a taste they will just try and saturate games more and more. How long do you think until they have 20 minutes of previews before you can play like they do for movies?
I got a better scenario for you. Walmart doesn't negotiate for a lower price at first but because they deal with such a high volume they can make due with a smaller profit margine per unit. so while the competition is buying your product for 90 and selling at 100, Walmart is buying at 90 and selling at $92.97. The competition can't compete with this price so they stop buying from you and start selling a different product from a different supplier. Walmart picks up the slack and then as 90% of you business demands to buy the product for $75 or not at all. Since all your other customers have either left the market of found different suppliers you are screwed.
If there was a price floor then Walmart would have to convince you to lower your pricefloor BEFORE they get rid of your competition. This doesn't legalize cartels, it just takes the power away from big box retailers.
Sounds fair to me.
I think the roads would actually be better in a freemarket.
If a business was going to fix a half mile stretch of road, do you think they would hire the company with ten three managers for every worker, pays above market rate salaries, provides retirements acounts at a loss, and tells them it will take at least 6 months of construction to get it done? I think they will give it to a company that can do it in two weeks for one quarter the costand they might spend the extra money providing non-metered parking spots and increased security so customers can use their business.
What's worse is that carbon fiber composite wings and fuselages lose all structural integrety if they are ever damaged and an attempt is made to patch it.
With metal you can just weld a patch over a hole and you're good as new. With composites it's one scratch and time for a new plane.
YOur base assumption is wrong. as of last month about 65% of hosts were running a non-microsoft OS. The proper ration should be 65/35.
Also the decision is usually not random but based on how the candidate can get the best deal. In most cases the only reason you would be using microsoft as the host on your website is if your website was being provided to you by a large corporation that has its own servers and uses microsoft; because the management is only familiar with microsoft project and wants to keep everything consistant.
This is the government. As often as not, no one gets anything done in their job without their manager looking over their shoulder. If this can actually get workers up off their behind and actually doing the work that my tax dollars paid them to do, I don't think I'll object too much. You got the first part of that right. This IS the government. You can't fire anyone unless they were appointed by an elected official who needs to shift the blame. The only thing this will do is make the couple of people who actually do work so paranoid all the time that they burn out and try to get fired. Then when they realize they can't be fired they'll become just like the rest of the employees. Work will only get done during the one month when someone retires and the new employee become disillusioned yet.
You know in 1984 they were just keeping track of government employees too. And they only had about 10% of the population working for them, while we're almost at 20%.
Yes it does have several definitions. My point was that proof does not negate faith. When most people use the word faith as it pertains to God they are not taliking about belief without evidence unless they are trying to dissuade you from religion. I can't think a religion that doesn't have testimonials where people say what evidence they have found for God in their life. Saying evidence negates faith is denying the existence of all other definitions of faith.
Interesting link. Though the author makes some bad assumptions. According to the data presented on that page most wavelengths of IR are still absorbed by water vapor. And indeed CO2 has a very narrow absorption spectrum compared to water. http://brneurosci.org/spectra.png
The big mistake that I see is that the author assumes that since water has a high turnover rate in the atmosphere that it is not as significant. It is actually more significant because the largest amounts of energy released from water heating all the O2 and N2 is in the transition back to liquid water from water vapor. In fact, While water vapor makes up only 4% of the atmosphere it absorbs most of its energy while it is in a liquid state in the oceans only releasing excess energy into the air.
If you could get bodies of water to form across the equator of mars you could heat the planet much more quickly than you coan with gass alone. I suspect that filling a water cistern and never using it does more to reduce global warming than shutting down a coal power plant.

Hooray for Freemarket justice!
Shouldn't there be some kind of legal penalty for having CEOs blatantly lie to the public?

Fact: Having a huge advertising campaign that includes less then 5 commercials per hour classifies as "quietly announcing."
Seriously, for an extra ten dollars you can expand your pan to include ten times the amount of minutes you'll use in a month.

It's less sinister to be screwed out of things than to be screwed into things.
The value is 4.3. Everyone knows that if W = 1 then H == 0.3
I think overall it will mean more rushed titles.

I just bought a microwave and it has a metal baking rack in it.
It makes me nervous.
Ah I see.
My main concern was that the way you presented it, it seemed that if it wasn't random than it must be intentional.
So you're saying autism can be cured with brain damage?
I smell a new legal defense for assault with a hammer.

You're confusing faith and belief. Faith is not believing that some one exists, but that they are a trustworthy and benevolent.
When you call up your best friend because you need someone to bail you out of jail you have faith in them and hopefully they don't cease to exist.

Water vapor is much better at trapping infrared than CO2 is.
Don't tell the folks making hydrogen fuel cells.
I think it has more to do with the fact that until September 11, 2006 facebook was only open to colleges and members of corporations.
I don't think anyone is suprised that parents that went to college usually are more successful at getting their kids to go to college.
