If the feds weren't abusing it, why do you think the locals will?
Do you know anything about the Police climate in Arizona and specifically Maricopa County?
The MSCO is already violating civil rights and abusing power, this will make it much, much worse.
Read up before spout ignorant comments.
Here is just one article from the NY Times. Search for Sheriff Joe Arpaio & racial profiling, immigration, illegal arrest, lawsuit, etc.

My immediate reaction was: "Wait, they need 1300 servers to serve up 40M transactions? WTF?". That is about 21 transactions per minute, or.3 per second.
They are dealing with *extreme* peaks (like several orders of magnatude more than average), getting ready for massive growth (again order of magnitues) are doing something very, very, very wrong.
I suspect they are doing it wrong. They should be able to get it done with a few dozen at most, unless they need these servers at every sorting center for some reason.
I said that 4 stroke motors shouldn't burn any oil. If they do it is because of bad rings, scored cylinder walls, faulty valve stem seals, bad head gasket or other problem with the lubicration system. If it burns oil it is a faulty/shoddy component.
A well made and well maintained 4 stroke motor (small or otherwise) should not burn any noticible amount of oil--certainly not enough to where you need to refill it under a normal duty cycle. Obviously it won't run forever, but again under the length of times they are designed to run (say a tank of gas) they should not burn any oil.
So if you are experiencing excessive oil burning worn/failed component in your motor. The worn/failed component was caused either by lack of quality or abuse (like running it beyond its recommended duty cycle, overloading, running at high revs for extended periods, etc.).
My Honda 4 strokes do not burn any oil. But then again they are well-made, maintained, and used at the duty cycle they were designed for.
Also your 4 cycle will inevitably run out of oil at some point, hope you're checking the oil and/or the low oil shutoff works before the engine is trashed.
The rest of your post mostly made sense. But a 4 cycle engine doesn't (or shouldn't) burn any oil.
You're thinking of a 2 stroke which either uses a premix of oil and fuel or has a system to mix them together automatically.
