If you've got 10% of the shares you've got 10% of the distributed profits (dividends). How does the owner get his cash out? If it's by distribution you're golden. If he's doing something dodgy you may have problems.
Seriously, did you read the article? They're contrasting existing waste to energy plants (which burn the crap, and use the heat, either for heating, or electricity generation, or both) with gasification, followed by burning the gas for heating, electricity generation, or both.
There are plenty of waste-to-energy plants around the US, but most of them simply burn the waste, dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Gasification technology, by contrast, converts nearly all of the waste into gases like hydrogen and carbon monoxide that can be used to run generators and furnaces.
So what exactly happens to the carbon monoxide "used to run generators and furnaces"? Oh, it's burned and so "dump[s] carbon dioxide into the atmosphere".

So you agree that they don't want the bomb? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction
I don't understand the rest of your post, it does not follow from your premises.
No, you just bombed them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Bombing_of_the_Chinese_embassy_in_Belgrade

Hey, my figures almost work, 24% of 18.5 is 4.4, which is more or less the same as 4.2.
The EU has 66GW of capacity. It doesn't generate 66GWh per hour however - sometimes the wind doesn't blow.
If 66GW gives you 142TWh then you're generating 100% for 2151 hours - about 89 days a year, i.e. only 24% of your "capacity".
Scientific American (or, rather Reuters) don't seem to know the difference between production and capacity. The article says:
implying it's production, but GW is a measure of capacity. Later in the article they say
There is no indication of exactly how much power was generated from this capacity.
If you've got 10% of the shares you've got 10% of the distributed profits (dividends). How does the owner get his cash out? If it's by distribution you're golden. If he's doing something dodgy you may have problems.
(Assuming there are any profits, of course).
Uh, not much of the Manhattan project was "all over the popular press" at the time.

No, it's almost always SDTV but labeled HDTV.
Look at http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4655091/Battlestar.Galactica.S04E11.HDTV.XviD-aAF.avi for example.
40-45 minutes of HDTV in 346.32 MiB - nice compression ratio there buster.
(It's perfectly sized for my phone however :-)).
Well, apart from their touching belief that there is "up" and "down" in space.
In any kind of "real" space warfare Galactica and its cute little space planes would be toast.
Yeah, but the smart way to burn garbage is in combined heat and power (CHP) plants (that's what we do here in Paris),
garbage -> heat -> electricity + low-grade heat. Low-grade heat used to heat homes & offices, electricity used for lighting and so on.
Seriously, did you read the article? They're contrasting existing waste to energy plants (which burn the crap, and use the heat, either for heating, or electricity generation, or both) with gasification, followed by burning the gas for heating, electricity generation, or both.
Where's the big win?
The original article says
"waste-to-energy" sounds like they're saving some other fuel doesn't it?
So what exactly happens to the carbon monoxide "used to run generators and furnaces"? Oh, it's burned and so "dump[s] carbon dioxide into the atmosphere".
Where's the contrast again?

Pah, ACL's in Colossus, enforced with Webly .38, Sten and SMLE, 1943-1945.
You could not be more wrong. The Unix permissions system was a big step back from already existing models - Multics for example.
ICL George 3 had ACL's. It dates from somewhere between 1968 and 1975.
Multics had ACL's. Started in 1965.
Yes, but only a cunt would say "the c-word".
No, I know how to think, just not how to write.

Please leave the thinking to people who known how to do it.
