Would you mind filling in some of the details on how you ended up with gigabytes worth of data stored in Excel files? Or is it mostly in word files?
I've done some work lately on a project with about 10 megabytes of data in Excel files, and I already think it is a bad idea to store it and manage it as spreadsheets.
I still don't imagine that anybody likes running steam at less than design capacity, power generation is relatively highly regulated and they recoup their capital by running the thing, not by not running it.
I'm all for wind as long as it pays for itself in terms of energy in, energy out(being economical is nice too, but not nearly as important as being a net energy gain).
For the sake of irony, I hope you had modded us off-topic and responded as such rather than finding a comment that you could make an on-topic reply to.
Never neglect risk. Calculate the expected costs and expected benefits and decide if it acceptable. Here, you would compare the power increase per dollar for the tighter spacing to the cost of replacing/repairing more than one tower.
Are there even any recorded instances of commercially installed towers failing? I imagine that it simply doesn't happen.
Gas turbines can relatively easily compared to coal and oil, but it isn't something that anybody is happy about, all their capital is just sitting there not earning any money when it is idle.
Industrial food is a crazy monster though; I get the impression that stuff generally tastes exactly the way it is intended to and stuff that is 'bad' is usually just because the person who designed the flavor has different tastes than I do. There is no doubt a component of cheap in there, but I'm pretty sure that a big part of it is simply the intended flavor. I'm sure you will get at least one interesting eating experience out of it.
(Making beer is like this; I don't have the interest to try to brew beer better than Bell's(not a simple endeavor), and they are certainly making industrial quantities at this point)
Among other things, Paris Hilton inherited a degree of notoriety. She has parleyed that into other people paying her tens of millions of dollars. She doesn't need to inherit any money.
I'm sure that they have a healthy lust for money, but someone with $5 billion is not going to put his face in a meat grinder for $500 million. Someone with $5 might.
He'll throw a chair or be a dick, but I have trouble believing that he actually thinks that he is taking one for the team, he is doing his damnedest to earn money, not being the merry fall guy.
I'm pretty sure that annealing changes the microstructure of a piece of metal (it doesn't change the form at a macro scale, but the internal structure changes), and the changes that this process makes seem to be occurring at a similar scale to recrystallization.
As far as why, I think it's interesting to look for parallels in the cutting edge of technology and ancient trade craft.

That's just semantics. He found the use of the CCTV to monitor that public space offensive; he simply provided an example of why.
I have no idea about the legality of the encounter, but I certainly don't find it offensive and would vote against laws against such behavior.
There are documented instances of SWAT teams killing innocent people:

The question becomes, how many are acceptable? I'm one of the crazies who doesn't think it is acceptable for the police to kill innocent people, ever.
No, he has no(or limited, I'm no lawyer) legal basis to object. He has every right to find the presence of the CCTV offensive.
You aren't thinking silly enough. That's not the measurement, it's an expression of the measurement.
Would using powers of 2 make the measurement different?

Where's the harm in urinating in public?

Fossil fuel plants don't just casually idle.

Did you download in your pants?
Sounds interesting.

What's the proper proportion of saw dust?
Have you examined the safety stickers and features that modern chainsaws and the like come with?
You better believe people will sue the company for failing to tell them to not do anything stupid.
Desktop TD is exceptional in how popular it is, but the creator has made thousands off of it.
But yeah, Kongregate is an example of people getting paid for games that can be put together in a couple of weeks or months.
Sure, but they get stuck at a desk, not stuck in jail, not liking it is no reason to ignore reality.

Desktop Tower Defense is pretty addictive (for a while anyway):

Wait, corporate executives masturbate together when they are behind closed doors?
That's even more vile than I thought.

Never mistake incompetence for intention.

Look into modern architecture. If you judge a building by it's roof, lots of modern buildings are failures.
It gets hot and the defects get smoothed out.

Someone who understands both should comment on how similar this process is to annealing.
