Not necessarily. Not all CPU loads are equal, especially in terms of heat. For example, using the floating point unit as opposed to doing integer processing will produce different temperature changes.
This was my first thought as a defense while the researcher was presenting at the CCS conference this year, but he did a good job of tearing that idea apart during the question and answer session.
I've sifted through their site and been unable to turn up anything. If the article isn't online... is it really all that fruitful for us to discuss the plausibility of a theory we can't get more than a 2 line explanation of?
Actually, what you're seeing there is an error in the Cartoon Network online grid. If you're on the east coast, check your local listings (as well as your TV) and you'll see that everything is shifted 3 hours later than what the online grid says. (Why is it like that? Got me, however that grid tends to be flakey on a regular basis.)
Cartoon Network does in fact have 2 feeds, 1 for East and 1 for Pacific. Mountain people get the Pacific feed (putting their showings 1 hour later than pacific) while central gets the east coast feed (making those showings 1 hour earlier.) So, that means... Adult Swim airs from 10pm - 1am (East/Pac), 11pm-2am (Mountain), 9pm-12am (Central). Given that primetime runs until 10pm (I believe), this would put the last hour of AdultSwim in this "less stringent" zone you speak of.
The truth is, the editting has nothing to do with the timeslot regulations, and everything to do with the Cartoon Network policy of not going over TV-14. It doesn't matter when it airs, CN wants any time to be at least "relatively" kid-friendly. The fact that AdultSwim got TV-14 at all is simply an experiment based on Toonami: The Midnight Run's ratings.
I don't know about you, but if I made what I consider to be a reasonable bid and lost; I'd be tempted to see what my competition could do for less. Not following up on lost bids and watching to see what your competition can do is a sure fire way to ensure your company falls behind. This sounds to me like a simple case of "We didn't win, but let's see about the guys who did. Is there anything they did that can effectively cut costs? Can I learn from them to make my next bid more lucrative to the potential customer?"
You've forgotten the most important element:
-A very large spoonful of flour.
Not only does it weigh more, but when their letter opening machine gets to yours it either jams up or shoots flour all over the place, effectively disabling them for at least a good 10 minutes. Plus, in the event they open it by hand they get flour all over their desk. The possibilities are endless.
A place where my talents and interests in computers were fostered and encouraged. I was a student computer technician at my high school. One of my class periods was spent learning about computers: how they work, how to troubleshoot them, and gaining experience in fixing them. Most important of all I was taught ethics. I wasn't blindly handed knowledge about computers, I was shown the boundaries of where my knowledge should go. I knew passwords and access tricks that I could have secretly tormented teachers and students with for months on end, but I knew it was wrong. I knew that I had responsibility; I wanted honor.
I was part of a valid program, supported and sponsored by the faculty, which allowed me, and others, to harness and expand my abilities and curiosities in a "geeky" field. There was a place to focus my energy, a problem that always needed to be solved, and topics that always had to be researched. I wasn't bored in school anymore, my interests were being catered to and encouraged. I had found my Utopia where I could learn what I truly wanted to know, and the people around me didn't brand me as a freak.
My peers saw that what I knew about and spent my time on was just as valid as playing football or running for Student Council. The "popular" kids didn't care I skipped spirit assemblies to fix a teacher's computer problems, no one minded me missing all the football games and not attending the dances. They recognized I had other interests, and since they could see the results of my work, they understood.
You are correct. Actually, GundamWing Endless Waltz will be premiering on November 10th as the first in a long line of Toonami movies. They've made quite a few plans to bring in a lot of different anime movies for airing.
Now, about that Toonami channel... Sean Akins (the guy in charge of Toonami) has said a number of times that Cartoon Network has considered creating a Toonami channel, but so far nothing is formalized or even unformally confirmed. All well, 23 hours a week isn't bad, right?

Where's the beef?
