The energy cost would be on the reverse end. You subtract how much you get back when you exchange the aluminum oxide. The cost of the energy should be less than the cost of the aluminum.
The plane weight and fuel weight are also part of the total weight. You have to pay a pilot and flight attendants. Those are the fixed costs. Plus you get the tiny bag of peanuts.
And trying out the calculator, the fare seems to be at a direct 1:1 ratio with weight. Someone who weights 3 times as much, pays about 3 times as much. No fixed costs accounted for.
And in a lot of cases, if I'm just 'licensing' it for temporary use, they better start changing their cost structure -- because it costs as much to 'license' a CD as it does to buy the damned thing and rip it yourself.
This is why I just buy the CD, rip it, and put the CD in a binder in my closet as a backup. I am hoping not to see physical media go away for movies anytime soon, either. Even though ripping DVD's and Blu-Rays is technically illegal under the pathetic DMCA.
I'm pretty sure it zeroes every formerly used sector. Even if it won't be used right away for performance reasons. Erasing is the slowest operation on an SSD. The drive wouldn't leave any unused sectors in anything but a ready-to-write state. That's the whole point of TRIM.
But what kind of sensitive data is mass-produced on pressed discs? That's really what I'm getting at. Wouldn't be very sensitive if a thousand copies were made.
CF cards are IDE-based. Just plug one into an adapter and plug it into the IDE port on the motherboard. Cheap, faster, and more reliable than the old 40GB drives.
Starvation is primarily a problem of politics, not one of funding. Otherwise, Bill Gates could have solved world hunger - and I bet he would have loved to. Instead, he's finding himself wasting money on education - which is similarly hampered by politics.
Or to put 1) much shorter, God - by necessity - must exist outside of space-time. The concept of something taking a day to do or 10,000 years to do are both meaningless. Saying one day is just as good as any other arbitrary time as there's just no way in Hebrew language (or with the ancient Hebrews' lack of sci-fi literature) to have explained it any better.
Who says He didn't create Earth by means of a Big Bang? Who says there's any reason it has to simply poof into existence. Wouldn't it be more perfect to orchestrate the order of the universe in one explosion?
And there'd be no reason to think that. Even if it's literally true, that means one man who lived thousands of years ago was one rib short - it wouldn't necessarily have changed his genes.
Well, essentially incest's biggest moral problem is the creation of children that are genetically inferior. That wouldn't be the only rule given in the old testament that was for the health and safety of their society as a whole. The restrictions on pig meat and certain other foods and rituals made perfect sense with the level of sanitation they were able to handle.
In fact, there's a lot of evidence of wisdom beyond their ability. And another interesting statement going all the way back to the time of The Flood that man's days shall be 120 years. When it was actually written down, what was the average lifespan - maybe 40 years? Even in that written record it showed ages above 120 and gradually winding down again after The Flood. The oldest people that have lived on written record are around 115-122. 122 years is basically a rounding error to this rule that was put into writing so long ago.
I'm just saying - there's a lot of intrigue in those pages to a scientific mind. You can't disprove or prove any historical events beyond all doubt so this competition is silly.
Just a badly written article. The attack was a spoofed attack on DNS root servers (I think - badly written article) that reflected back toward Spamhaus. This would cause disruptions to DNS and to Spamhaus. By extension, the huge amount of traffic seems to be slowing down just about everything.
Don't know when this started, but I was watching Netflix on Monday and got 2 dots instead of my usual 4 and I'm in the Midwest US.

Yes - it is considered attractive. It connotes wealth.

How strange- a US-based site going on the schedule of US time zones. How dare they?
As opposed to using 3D as a storytelling tool. Instead, they just shove objects in your face.

Is that where you set two IDE hard drives both to Master and see which one wins?
$90 for a Netflix device IS no good - especially since Roku sells their baseline 720p devices for $50 direct. What seller was gouging you for $90?

Most halfway decent shredders will shred a CD. Could still be read with special-purpose equipment but would not be easy at all.
Wha? Isn't the data layer on a CD-R just micrometers below the label?
Wouldn't the drive TRIM the rest to speed up future writes? Or do you mean older SSD?
You misspelled CSI. The guy just looked at the drive and yelled "Enhance!" and all the data was back.
CF cards are IDE-based. Just plug one into an adapter and plug it into the IDE port on the motherboard. Cheap, faster, and more reliable than the old 40GB drives.
With the platter density, a 5400 RPM 500GB single platter drive gets much better throughput.
If the drive still works.

Looking at the atrocities committed in the name of (fill in blank), there are people looking to justify their actions by whatever means necessary.
We still have an presidential election every 4 years - even though none of them have ever done any good. Sweeping generalizations go both ways.
