Wouldn't the CO2 from these 60,000 flights negate any theoretical effect that these sulphates might have?
If it is the cooling effect of a volcano they are after, why not just set one off? There's plenty of candidates ready to pop, we just don't know when they'll get around to it (with the associated death, floods, rivers of lava and sundry mayhem). At least that way anyone likely to be affected can be evacuated ahead of time in a leisurely fashion...
> folks like me are now more willing to buy a business or first class ticket.
which is exactly what the railways did: make the conditions in the cheaper sections so bad that people will pay more to not have to endure them. It worked so well (not even an Act of Parliament to ensure you had a roof on your carriage made much difference) that it continues to this day.
Case in point: the Rampion wind farm, clearly visible from Brighton despite all bollocks spouted to smooth ruffled feathers about spoiled sea views, has an overall operational lifespan of 10 years. It took 3 years to build it in the first place, most of which was erecting the towers. By the time it was completed, the earliest ones had already been corroding away nicely for a fifth of that lifespan without having produced a single mW...
Definitely. There is a contract in place that says "pay the fucking royalties".
If I disputed how much tax I was to pay and refused to pay it, claiming that an ongoing case was going to sort it all out I'd get sent down because the current situation is "pay the fucking tax". If subsequently it turns out I paid too much, then I can use that ruling to get my money back.
Pay your fucking bills, Apple. You can afford it, and if you win the case then you can take Qualcomm to the cleaners.
Is it doing harm to the ghosts? They don't suffer any ill effects from being eaten. A bit like being turned into a newt, they get better. Plus, they get better a lot quicker than if they are left alone. I've been killed plenty of times by a regenerated just eaten ghost while in pursuit of still edible ones.
True "do no harm'" wouldn't allow the ghosts to become edible in the first place, making eating power pills verboten. That reduces the score further but as they aren't training for success that doesn't matter.
On the one hand, I am in agreement that borders should be secure. As such there need to be processes in place to aid that objective.
On the other, this tip line is an incredibly easy way for any racist bigot who thought that someone looked at them funny, or was "in the wrong place" merely because they weren't white to make malicious calls; it's another form of SWATting, only this time it's government approved.
Also, EU does not have the same countries in it. So there's a charge for those wishing to use the store even if the ruling doesn't apply to the countries they are operating in. Thus it's just a new nickel-and-diming wheeze "justified" by Google for having to not be evil.
Meaning that they monetise your data to make up for the "shortfall" in giving you a "discount" on your premiums. Bonus being it isn't your data anyway. It's theirs, so they can do whatever gets them the most money from it.
Except that still doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I've got a fairly comprehensive shadow account. For example, I've never given Facebook my phone numbers or email / real addresses, but I'm pretty sure they have my name attached to them thanks to at least one recruiter who uses Facebook and had those details in their contact lists. One might have a landline, another a mobile, a third an address, etc., but all had my name.
Point being, it isn't necessarily your friends who have inadvertently released the data, it's anybody you've had contact with. Or anyone they've had contact with. Or anybody they've had contact with, because you can be sure that the trifling problem of n degrees of separation and probabilistic determinism that this data record has a common key to that data record was solved years ago.
"the world's largest audio-entertainment company"? Well good for you. How about allowing the rest of the world to use your services if you're so great?
Or I could use Spotify, Apple, Google, Deezer, etc. who at least have international offerings.
Under the doctrines of sales law, the party who sold you the item is the one liable. That is who a customer entered into a contract with. That the availability of the product has been removed by a third party in contact with the supplier is irrelevant.
At least, that's the law here in Blighty, though suppliers will try all kinds of shit to try and make the customer deal with it when it isn't their problem to solve. They rely on the customer not knowing their rights and the provisions of the Sale of Goods Act. Most of the time, customers don't.
I have a nest of hornets who will gladly test your hypothesis. Repeatedly. They don't even need asking because they're naturally generous on giving their time for the scientific method.

They are merely adhering to GDPR which states that those whose data has been inadvertently disclosed must be informed of that inadvertent disclosure.
The alternative would be that they get fined if they kept that fact to themselves and it was discovered.
Would the time taken for the move on a whim be about a day?
Capture the methane from cows that doomsayers keep babbling about and catalyse it.

Which Apple has already agreed to, hence "stopping payments", which means they had been making them before. Thus there is a contract.

Now they can tether it so it can be like a kite in low Earth orbit.
"Intel Keeping Mum On..." would have least been the correct use of that colloquialism. The single word usage fell out of favour centuries ago.

I don't recall when hammers could make hammers by themselves. Did they only appear in a Pink Floyd video?
I can do that now? Wow, thanks for that incredible addition. I must have been doing something else for at least the last 15 years...

Am I the only one to notice the irony of wanting to have a substance that was created to be the payload of a rocket be the payload of a bigger rocket?

They'll probably be maintaining COBOL and FORTRAN systems.

It would be greater than Earth. That's why Vulcans are stronger than humans.
