Nowadays military technology has moved on. A guy with a rifle is not a threat to any modern Army.
vietnam war black hawk down afghanistan and iraq (how long did it take to hunt down saddam hussein and osama bin laden?)
"modern" militaries are good at bombing innocent civilians, but atrocious at fighting actual combatants... all it takes is a single RPG to take down a multi-million dollar attack helicopter
What they fear are roadside bombs, IEDs, and similar devices.
so they fear basically every potential enemy combatant? if so it means they really aren't that effective at all
"modern" military forces like to think they are smart, but if they were really smart they wouldn't need big expensive fancy weapons...
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." "Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory." "To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Sun Tzu
as much as i agree, to play devil's advocate, ubuntu is powered by raw debian awesomeness under the hood, and that alone gives it server cred (even if you have to hose away all the shit to get to it)
you won't wow an audience with an algorithm. nobody gives a shit how awesome you think it is or how much time you put into it. make an app that demonstrates how shit the competition is.
we desperately need something new to bash... SCO is dead (or an artificially stimulated fighting zombie at most), microsoft keeps fucking up so much i almost feel sorry for them (almost), google is increasing the linux marketshare too much to call them "really evil" even apple bashing is getting stale since samsung is apparently flooding the market with cheaper-than-i-things (we all knew they would).
we neeeeed something to bash.... a bus company full of lawyers may not be threatening linux, but hey it's still full of lawyers... so commence bashing!
the rothschild family and the queen of england are just trying to use their proxies (including google) to spark conflict in the middle east to trigger world war 3, collapse the US dollar and invoke the new world order... in preparation for the nazis to return from the dark side of the moon with their army of rock spiders
however, what do you think happens to those pollutants when you burn them? instead of them (possibly) going into the drinking/irrigation water supply (only a problem if you dump in a catchment area), you release them into the air. i know a lot of people blather on about how carbon dioxide isn't really a problem, but carbon dioxide is just a common component of "pollution" in general that can be measured. the combustion products that are more dangerous are NOx and SOx.
many landfills have caps over them (covered with topsoil) with vents, because otherwise there would be dangerous build ups of methane. these vents would make perfect sources to tap for burning, but the amount of methane from a landfill is much less compared to biowaste
nonetheless, carbon in the ground (landfill) is much more environmentally friendly than carbon in the air (incinerators)

if you build your own system, secure boot is a non issue
if you buy an oem box with windows on it and then wonder why linux won't install, you're holding it wrong
not even any reference to hosts files.... pathetic

your ability to sell the tech will probably be reflected by your ability to sell the business plan to the VCs
if you can't sell the business plan, you probably won't sell the tech
make sure you put a big picture of a hot naked chick on the cover of your business plan, cos you know what they say about sex :)

It is more expensive than landfill, but when done well it's the better option
or even better, if waste is burned and then pumped deep into the ground... combines the best of both worlds

leech pollutants to the ground water
i'm assuming this was the deciding factor
however, what do you think happens to those pollutants when you burn them? instead of them (possibly) going into the drinking/irrigation water supply (only a problem if you dump in a catchment area), you release them into the air. i know a lot of people blather on about how carbon dioxide isn't really a problem, but carbon dioxide is just a common component of "pollution" in general that can be measured. the combustion products that are more dangerous are NOx and SOx.

the cpu count one isn't the only one, but it is probably the most important
cool! seems obvious in hindsight to place them on map edge, but i'm stupid so i never thought of it before. ta.
gang wars in jersey are bad enough
solar plants!
they could just make a deal with the ira... they can bomb whoever they like as long as they throw some garbage in too
judging by how active my kids are i find it hard to believe there would be any useful energy left in their diaper deposits
burning methane is much more environmentally friendly than burning garbage
Amsterdam has invested in a huge facility for converting trash into electricity
but they can't do that... prostitution is a popular tourist attraction in amsterdam
without a whole bunch of command line parameters on startup just to make it run stable, sc4000 is garbage
i thought incinerators were bad. i tend to only use them when i'm desperate because they produce huge pollution and devalue nearby land.
politicians burn pretty well... unfortunately the combustion products are highly toxic
Is that anything like getting the Nobel peace Prize for ending the Vietnam War in 1973?
that would be the opposite of what is going on today
if only ron paul was president
ea needs to release battlefield: presidential edition, with drones and thousands of innocent poverty-stricken women and children to mow down
cut a hole in it and you can toast the lord with your holy toast
how many wealthy people are there on slashdot? it's mainly a site for whingers, trolls, shills, astroturfers, etc
not saying there aren't any, but the probability of wealth is much lower than the probability of bullshit
