    What are the byproducts of the recycling process?

  2. Re:Recycled batteries on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 2

    5 seconds on Google would allow me to reliably confirm that every major auto manufacturer's batteries are recycled, as in every toxic element is reused? I've seen how electronics components are recycled. Another example: Locally, we receive recycling bins to recycle our paper and also plastic/metal. Government considers incineration of the paper, for the generation of electricity, as "recycling". 5 seconds on Google yields an "instant expert" and that's about it.

  3. Re:Even if it does... on Scientists Silence Extra Chromosome In Down Syndrome Cells · · Score: 1

    My wife has worked 15 people with Downs Syndrome for about ten years. The disease affects each person individually. I've read comments on this article that seem to suggest that, categorically, those affected by Downs are happy or how they are fine except for acting like a four year old. This definitely is not always the case and it's probably the case only half of the time. I've personally seen a young girl with Downs who had to be strapped into a wheelchair or she would pick her skin off. She had to be institutionalized. I've also seen others that are incredibly violent and had to be heavily medicated. When most people come across someone with Downs, they are coming across the people who are not as affected by the disease as some others. The rest end up as wards of the state because there's no way normal parents would be able to take care of them,

    The only real problem with battery cars is the battery. Where do used batteries go?

    Boondoggle is right. There's a lot of old cattle ranches in that area whose landowners would love to see development interest, their properties aren't worth crap right now.

  8. Re:New features? on Review: Oracle Database 12c · · Score: 1

    Based on what you are saying, Oracle is essentially a niche product for huge data consumers. Why is it so aggressively marketed to businesses of nearly any size? They buy in and then the administration expenses, coupled with licensing, eat their lunch. Oracle's sales are marketing-driven, that's why we see it in so many businesses.

    Syadmins develop this attitude as a defense mechanism because they are essentially the janitors of the internet.

    It's called a "refrigerated truck" and it's how the product came from the supplier in the first place.

    I don't know about your area, but where I live Walmart is higher than grocery stores on many, many items when comparing exact items.

    We spent months going round and round with Fedex over one of their contractors whose truck roof leaked and regularly damaged our packages going to a particular destination.

    I'd like to note that using custom database-layer code makes it very difficult to migrate to a different database platform. As dissimilar as the sql syntax and type handling is across the various rdbms platforms, their "stored procedure" languages are even less compatible.

    For lightweight drinking this might be true. When you start drinking heavily, you realize that dehydration is just one component of a hangover.

    Most of the Slashdot crowd will not recognize "non-blocking", in a Javascript contex,t because you probably (hopefully) meant "asynchronous". You're not polling for results, you're assigning event handlers.
