Back around 1949, or 1950, My dad bought a portable Zenith TV. It weighed about 50 pounds, had 60 tubes, and a 2" screen. A year or so later, he purchased a magnifying lens for the for the set -- it was about 8", sat on a metal stand in front of the TV and made it almost watchable. (At least for me, a 7 year old at the time), sitting about 3 or 4 ft away. A year or two later, we got a 15" Black and White Philco, which was a definite improvement.
So, are we going the same route with cell phones and computers? Small screens with 10 pound chunk of glass for a magnifier to see the tiny hi-res graphics.. And of course a full size keyboard and mouse -- a year or two later, they will be wireless, after enough complain about the rats nest of cables hooked to the cell phone.
If they do the plumbing right, all they need to do is channel the hot water into a facility for rest and relaxation. For that matter, it could also be used in other ways. There has got to be a better way than this to make use of this hot water.
Better -- stop the NSA domestic spying.
A significant problem with making a hotspring resort fed by an NSA datacenter is the extreme danger imposed by an inadvertant WikiLeak, and it's effect on the local infrastructure. Liquid NSA data running all over Utah might have unknown effects on the local environment.
The first time I wrote a program to do this was about 1996 or so. It worked better than reply receipts for some customers. It's been around since Outlook/Outlook Express/Eudora first started supporting HTML formatted e-mail.
Our "nefarious purpose" was (at the time) supporting a paid subscription e-mail publication, and then the marketing people got wind of it...
So, if you consider marketing and their desire for another useless statistic nefarious -- define it as you wish..
Been there, done that. Add chopped fresh onions to the beans for enhancement. I once was able to clear a 10,000 office floor that used the hallway as a return for the air-conditioner. They even considered calling a haz-mat team, until someone realized they'd have to pay for em out of the reserve cash -- which was to be used for the annual picnic.
Gotta keep that camera spinning, over every shoulder. With 6 wheels, there's gotta be a couple shoulders some where... Nobody panic now, just because a wheel or two slips in the sand, does NOT mean that someone or some other big hairy thing is not digging under the wheels
Actually, i believe two of the lawyers had a meeting about this on Monday morning, and discussed this very issue. They decided to change the meaning of the legal boilerplate, without, however, changing the words used in the document.
That's when they pay you three times what it is worth to take it away.
So, yes, "no such thing" is losing money on the deal. Doesn't matter if it's in the dictionary or not. If they pay me, I'll nod my head, say uh-huh, not understand it, but take the money anyway. I might even forget to say thanks.
If you're asking the question, then likely you don't have what it takes. The secret is to find that part time work -- in addition to the current job, and then when it pays off, quit the regular job. To control you own hours, you have to TAKE control. My last boss encouraged extra work. It didn't matter if it was in-house, or outhouse.

Ford previously was an all Firestone purchaser.
Then Firestone was bought out by (foreign owned Bridgestone)
Currently the 3 top suppliers to Ford are: Goodyear, Michelin, Continental.

Ok, I'll bite, what's a TO -- sounds like someplace to send e-mail
(this should probably be rated -2)
