Yes, but you're also talking about used tires. ones that take up space in landfills. Wasn't it in Great Britain that a tire dump caught fire and burned for a couple of years, yielding much toxic smoke and a couple of thousand gallons (Imperial) of usable oil?
This reminds me of an article I saw in NASA Tech Briefs (a handy pub.) concerning recyclable (sp?) plastic. There are seven types of recyclable (sp?) plastic. The major problem was that they all melted at different temperatures. So, before plastic can be recycled, it needs to be separated into the seven different types. The method published in NTB eliminated that requirement. It was Pat. Pendg. I believe that was in '88.
Another problem was that the plastic industry wanted virgin plastic polymers.
I suppose that's one reason why oil from coal hasn't taken hold. After all, why take those extra couple of steps, when all you have to do is kill more Nigerians?
Well, instead of voting for one side of a two headed coin, you could vote for a third party for president. Or you could vote for every one except the president.
I'd love to see an election (in the USA) where 70% of the voters turned out, and the Republicrats only got sixty-some percent of the vote.
That would mean that the Replicrats _did not_ have a "mandate", and that some worthy third party will be on the ballot in '04.
Remember, your vote is only wasted if you don't vote.
Already proposed. Any person convicted of a crime gives up DNA. Man, woman, child.
I think I mis-spoke. I'm sure I saw this proposed in the Omaha World Herald(dead-tree edition) within the last two weeks, but now I can't find it in the online archive.
Hmmm, strange.
Use WebDav, or an equivilent. Provide between 10 and 20 MB standard, and more on request of student (charge student), department (charge to dept., if dept. account), or staff (including faculty).
The data centre would be responsible for backups and archiving. The registrars office would be responsible for notifying the data center when a student is leaving. The same goes for a faculty or staff member. When they quit or are terminated, HR informs the data center to close the account.
No reason has to be given by either department, just that so and so is leaving, or has left effective on a certain date.
Provide rapid access to those persons files after leave, say 2 to 3 months. During this time, write access should be denied, but read and delete access should be granted. If you keep monthly archives, you could extend this period, just make sure they know they have contact the data center to have the data restored, and that they'll have a limited time (7-14 days) to retrieve it.
This won't solve your problems, but it may give you some ideas.
Compared to what? Other 32-bit architectures? Other 64-bit microcomputer achitectures? Or mainframe architectures, which happen to be 100% microprogrammable?
It doesn't seem that novel to me.

At least, that the way that they claim it works.
I'm doing my part. If I see an ad, I block it. If I see a 1x1 transparent gif, I block it.
It works for me, and hopefully, it works the way they say.
Quattro Pro had this Lotus mode, that used Lotus menus, keystrokes, etc. Lotus sued Borland (Quattro Pro). Lotus lost, I believe.
Does any one have more that vague memories of this case?

I finally found the link I was searching for. The article originated in the Washington Post, and was carried by the Omaha World Herald. The article, as published by the OWH can be found at http://www.om aha.com/ind ex.atp?u_div=3&u_hdg=3&u_sid=26996.
