Why not pitch a resource-heavy asteroid into the moon? Sounds like a much easier, cheaper and safer plan than to put it in orbit on Earth. And, frankly, the moon is pretty much worthless as it is, last I heard.
This also assumes they don't have somebody doing a spot check. Canvassers are pretty common in my area and I've been the guy to check up on things before. It's a surprisingly honest business, considering how easy it is to falsify. The only time I noticed somebody not pass out their stuff, they had called up my boss while I was doing my rounds and said that there was an emergency and they couldn't do it in time.
I recall reading an article regarding AT&T about that. The person called to cancel their deceased mother's phone plan and the rep was like, "Um. I'm sorry, but I have to go through this speech anyways..."
So, by definition, my car is a toy because it has a limiter that kicks in at around 150mph to prevent the engine from blowing itself up if, say, you accidentally wedged the pedal down.
On the other hand, the Costcos in SoCal are cash-only and had 3 lines 10+ people deep when I went there yesterday afternoon. Cash currency is still good somewhere!
The nickel costs 11.18 cents to produce,[1] so we're now actually looking at a dime and a penny. According to a rather dated Business Week article[2], it costs 3 cents to make a dime. So we can now cut it back down to 4.6 cents. At this point, we round back to the nickel which drops us into a circular situation.
"Conclusion: Music is not prohibited in Islam. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran allowed music and inspired it upon David peace be upon him. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him didn't prohibit music unless it was used for sinful activities. Otherwise, music is allowed."
I'm quite good with Windows systems, through years of working with them but, even having dabbled in various flavors of Linux, I still go back to Windows because it's what I know and does what I want it to, mostly. (I fall more towards the consumer end of the spectrum, which also makes a considerable difference.)
The times I've been working with Linux and needed help, it generally came from people with a vastly superior impatient attitude (understandable; I am wasting their time on what, for them, is trivial) or in the form of posts that have the answer and nothing else, which makes it really hard to learn why you're doing what you are. Things may have changed in the last few years, but, ultimately: I know how Windows works. I can do what I want to do. And, really, that's what I want.
I remember this consumer group did this thing for the first iPhone after a rash of complaints where Apple rejected warranty claims, citing water damage. In an attempt to prove that rejecting claims based on faulty sensors, they bought a new iPhone from an Apple store on a day with near 100% humidity. When they cracked it open, the moisture-sensitive tabs were already triggered.
That was my first reaction, though I've seen plenty of entertaining books inspired by others. Has anybody that's read both Battle Royale [novel] and Hunger Games care to comment?

4 slides seems a bit brief; I tend try to space things out such that each content slide stays up for 3-4 minutes.
Remember that the slides are there as a visual aid and for the printouts. (Which, hopefully, they'll be taking notes on if necessary.) Keep it visual and to brief.
Related to the previous point, make your visuals distinct and arrange it in a form that gets your point across without being misleading. (Or at least misleading in a subtle way that emphasizes the point, like zooming in a bit too far on a graph.)
And it cannot be emphasized enough: DON'T READ OFF THE SLIDES. If that's all you're going to do, you might as well pass them out, turn off the lights and call it nap time.
What about the remains after modern embalming practices? This is not a field I have much knowledge of, but as I understand it, the body pretty much ends up so toxic and full of plasticizers that nothing wants it. Time does rather exhibit a beating on things, even without additional agents though... (It's sort of an even more extreme and long-lasting form of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokushinbutsu)
The 'right to be forgotten' sounds fine-- if the campground wishes to remove all mentions of itself, then by all means, they can. But they can't pick and choose what gets eliminated based on their own criteria of 'good' and 'bad'.
It rather reminds me of that Belgian newspaper who brought suit against Google to stop linking to any of their pages... and complained when Google did that and their traffic dropped through the floor. (Though they referred to it as some kind of hostile retaliation...)

Crazy... that can be quite a desirable characteristic.

Although technically, I believe it's implied that he sold the advertising rights to Moka-Cola who wouldn't turn it into a giant billboard...

That waters it down?
Interestingly, my sister said the same thing, except as a detriment.

But if you take it a step further...

Seconded, partly.

That'd actually be quite fun, if it was cheap enough. I'd be kind of concerned about safety though.

I can't find the exact same story, but here's something that covered pretty much the same thing. http://consumerist.com/2010/08/can-high-humidity-void-your-iphones-warranty.html
Bah. That's clearly just repackaged from:
"Hello, my friend! Stay awhile and listen..."

Which #18 is the summary referring to?
"Press and hold, then drag your finger across text to select it. A dialog box will appear that lets you highlight the text, add a note, and so on.

or
"“Panem et Circenses translates into ‘Bread and Circuses.’ The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power.”"?
They're both oddly appropriate for self-help...

...And I kind of want to turn those into a set of mini fridge magnets. They're actually kind of cute, in a silly, quirky way.

Never been up a turbine, but I've been in lighthouse towers and commercial fishing boats. Doesn't matter what you have on, it STILL gets cold.
