If the cooling device is active (i.e. requires energy other than the heat it is moving to operate), it generates some waste heat.
Sorry to be a pedant, but your model leaves out active cooling devices that try valiantly to cool their subject below ambient temperature, but can't quite keep up.
Parent didn't just mean Apple. Retail stores will often advertise their price without discounting it any (the corporate bullshit version is that their prices are already so low that they can't really go any lower). I work retail at one of the companies mentioned in the article and I get asked at least once a week why they do that sort of stuff. Most people just don't notice, and figure that if it's in the circular, it must be cheaper.
In a nutshell, it's corporations exploiting the fact that most sheeple don't think. I say, more power to them.
I've had three jobs where I get payroll-style checks (not just handwritten business checks), and two of them have been ADP. The third was their own pay stub.
The whole point of a laser is that all the photons emitted from it are in phase with each other. The photons emitted from one laser are not necessarily in phase with those emitted from another laser. Thus, while you might be able to get.6 watts out of these lasers, it wouldn't be anything near like having a.6 watt laser. And it definately would be too bulky to mount on the head of a friggin' shark.
That's why there are house limits. You have to hope to god you don't reach it before you start winning again, because then all of a sudden you need to win two in a row to break even, and the odds of that are significantly less.
If they already have the binary, MSFT would be a bit daft to release a signed version of that binary. If you have a plaintext and known equivalent ciphertext, IIRC it's trivial to extract the key. MSFT might as well release their key and call it a wash.

Go into the mountains. Put a unique item of some sort that you can test the uniqueness of (a large random number that you have memorized would work) in a safe and bury it. Note the GPS coordinates.
Now start walking west. When you get back to the coordinates, open the box. Verify the number.
It may not mathematically disprove the earth is flat theory, but if everyone who thought that the earth is flat did this, the rest of us could get some real work done.:)
(Alternately, you could take a few physics or engineering courses and try to figure out what sort of material could make an object the size and mass of a flat Earth and not collapse into a sphere under its own weight.)
And the documents that were declassified were all the documents associated with Roswell, right? All unaltered? Hey, look over there!
Not that I'm a rabid conspiracy theorist, but anybody who is willing to believe in a government coverup of that magnitude won't be pacified by a bunch of relatively easily-faked "declassified" documents.
Those bulbs have a very discernable flicker (on the order of 60 Hz, I think) that gives me a blinding headache. So, even though they would save us electricity, I'm going to be running something with a little bit longer glow time... i.e. regular, glass-blown incandescent bulbs.
...destruction of the LEO end of the elevator, causing the Earth's rotation to whip the cable about, which I suspect would burn the ribbon up.
LEO is below GEO, so if the cable were snapped below LEO, the graviational forces acting on the cable would be greater than the "centrifugal force" (cable's inertia) and it would fall to the ground. Probably rather catastrophically. Even if the ribbon were being whipped about, the atmosphere of the earth would be rotating at the same rate, so there wouldn't be any friction and therefore no heat.
I know it's a joke, but I have to respond seriously.
Money has value simply because not everyone has it. Sure, it'd be nice for the first couple thousand people, but after word gets out and everyone has that kind of money, it won't be worth anything anymore. Good luck trading a few lines of code for a bottle of milk.
But people do pay this much. Or at least, they did. The record labels need to pull their heads out of their collective ass and maybe see if cheaper cd's sell more. But it's not a matter of what people want to pay, it's a matter of what people do pay.
I actually rather liked the understatedness of the Istari in LotR. Saruman's blatant use of his power provided a nice contrast to Gandalf's restraint, suggesting that Gandalf knows that his power comes with the price of corruption if he falls into the habit of using it too much.
And how's that for character development? One-dimensional my ass...

Those who called Gigli a disaster truely appreciate the greek roots of the word.
Again, not quite.

If you do this, be sure that you water-harden your motherboard around your processor.
Nasty airborne water molecules condensing on my hardware...snort.
War dialing is systematically searching for phone lines with modem/computer combinations on the other end.
War driving is systematically searching for unsecured wireless networks.
War chalking is simply marking said networks for others to find more easily.
War dialing and war driving are both systematic ways of searching for potential access into a private network.
War chalking is marking the results. I s'pose the people in the plane could have dropped paint balloons or something to mark the APs they found...

Yeah. What do you think I am, a Vanderbilt? Anyway, welcome to my yacht.

Just out of idle curiosity, how do you represent yourself in a wrongful death suit?

Yes, it's a joke. No, I'm not really that dumb.

Amen, brother.

Perhaps instead of cheap books, which actually do have some monetary value, we could take a cue from these guys.
As you can see, Sauron's had his...eye on you for...some time now, Mr. Underhill.
