You know there are probably more than one of us that are laughing hysterical at the notion of anyone spending that much money to set up a good old fashioned still to make a batch of white lightning with.
it's inedible sugar, not denatured sugar, inedible sugar is probably not refined for human consumption and probably has more to do with FDA inspections than actual product quality. If you want denatured sugar just go to the grocery, buy some sugar and pour some sulphuric acid on it, the sticky tary mess that results is pretty denatured!
Strange world we live in CS people hate COBOL because it's wordy rather than elegant, hate Perl because it can be terse to the point of being illegible, yet they put the bread on the table by hacking VB scripts embeded in an Excell "Database" that occasionally botches simple arithmetic.
the way I understand it is, 3 years statute of limitations of litigations, (Malpractice), 7 years statute of limitation for tax liability (IRS and dentists get audited a lot), 30 years for OSHA and some FDA required records for medical devices (Dental implants and sleep apnea and anti-snoring devices and anything of foreign origin); so the ADA just recommends 30 years for everything.
My understanding was that the Islamic Nation of Indonesia had severe reservations about allowing the Great White Satanic US Marine Infidels on shore to save their people death and suffering.
Our dental office has about 432 cubic feet of unused records with a data retention period of 30 years and it grows at about 9 cubic feet a year; I would love for everything to be on tape or even a pile of CD's!
The Hospital hired an experienced, insured and bonded company specializing in document storage and retrieval services for the Medical Legal and Business comunities.
Alternatively, how do you fine the employees of a government agency if there aren't any, because no one was crazy enough to expose themselves to getting fined while working at government rates? No you just promote them to Information Technology Liaison Person for the Distant Early Warning Station 150 Km north of Where-Polar-Bears-Shit-On-Ice, Canada for a nice stable 3 year tour of duty.
The Hospital would rather hire a licensed, insured and bonded contractor that is responsible for picking the tapes up at the Datacenter door and delivering to the Datacenter door when needed. This fuck-up is probably Archive America Ltd's responsibility by contractual agreement and they aren't some fly-by-night newbie but an established company with lot's of experience in the field so pleading ignorance isn't going to work for them.
HIPPA is the 800 lbs gorilla in healthcare IT and I believe that unauthorized release of identifiable medical data is a $50,000.00 fine; I'm not sure if losing backup tapes with 2 million records is one release or 2 million releases! I expect lawyers to get rich on this one when it goes class action, that's when everybody on the tapes will get notified.
No and Vuze was quite up-front about the study, they basically measured the number of RST messages and divided by the number of network connections. The numbers weren't intended to be accurate but rather to give an indication of realevive trends. For example, 37 users on Telecom Italia France using ASN 12876 experienced a median of 2.53% RST messages; 27 users on AT&T WorldNet Services using ASN 6478 experienced 13.97% RST messages; 24 users on AT&T WorldNet Services using ASN 7018 experienced 5.35% RST measages; 40 users on Comcast Cable using ASN 33668 experienced 23.72% RST messages. One thing you have to remember is the forged RST packets is a man-in-the-middle-attack, the Vuze plugin connected on a AT&T connection doesn' know if the RST came from AT&T at ASN 6478 , AT&T at ASN 7018, Comcast or Telecom Italia France.
pilots tend to black-out or grey-out around 9 or 10 Gs when flying aircraft, spacecraft pilots can go a bit higher because of more favorable seating positions.
Calcium ions trigger thrombosis, blood clotting and calcium chloride is an excellent source of calcium ions, probably the best; burns like hell in a cut too. They use a product called "quickstop" in pet grooming shops to stop toenails from bleeding when the quick is cut; a toenail will bleed for what seems like forever without it. Quickstop is a styptic made from ferric and calcium chlorides.
when I took the Combat Life Saver course, one of the requirements for graduation was to start an IV, and of course this implied that somebody was need to have the IV started one and it doesn't take much imagination to figure out "each other" was nominated. One of my fellow students confided to me "Sargent I'm afraid of needles" so I figured no problem, I got two arms, and getting stuck twice isn't a big deal. It turned out that when he said "afraid of needles" I heard "afraid of have a needle inserted into him", but he ment that not only was he afraid of being stuckee, he was afraid of being the sticker! I thought the situation was pretty odd being Infantry who's job was to make rather large holes in people with painfully blunt bullets to have someone who couldn't make rather small painless holes in anybody with a nice sharp needle.
The problem with the UN helping is it's a democratic process and by the time the members vote to form a study group to report on the degree of the required help, then reports back to the committee who holds a vote to request the over-flight and assigns that to another subcommittee, which then requests supplies from the members etc. where the carrier group's Admiral just says "We're going to help those people, we've got more combat power than most nations so try to stay out from underfoot until we're done; and the UN comes around and pretends they are helping"
they do grow in brackish or salt water, they are grown in bio-reactors, clear plastic tube filled with water and cyanobacterias and these things tend to go ape-shit when they scale up to production sized units. We could put them on roof tops and the side of buildings if things got bad enough.
- It's in a lab. A lab is in general a very clean place. The great outside, on the other hand, is a murderous place. Throughout the biosphere, from 11km down to about 6km up, any niche that any beasty might inhabit is fought over, and the winner takes the lion's share. So nice as it is that a beasty has been identified that might be the methadone for our oil, it's going to take same maintenance work for it to thrive. Work... that is, energy. I'm not saying it's impossible, it just cuts into the efficiency. And at this point, no-one can tell us by how much. Think giant vats of goo that need to be kept lab-clean not to be taken over by the next-better contestant for the given yummy environmental niche. Think lots of people / robots / driving around, using lots of energy maintaining the vats. [no, I'm always this grumpy, thanks for asking] In the past productivity has gone through the roof when they went outside, even the article said a 17X increase was possible. in Arizona an algae CO2 capture plant had to be shut down because the bioreator's production increase overwhelmed the processing plant! Give them a chance and let's see what happens in the real world.
Corn for just ethanol is a bad idea, but corn pressed to remove the oil for biodiesel, sugar removed for fermentation to ethanol the stover used for cellulose conversion, and the high protein distiller's dried grain fed back to cattle for food production, not so bad.
a real sleeper are those Secret Service Limo's, 700+ CID Keith Black Hemi's, multi-stage Nitrous and a couple other wicked tricks, they got to be pushing 2500 HP when the hammer is dropped and purrs like a kitten when putzed around the parking lot.
E10 does suck in low compression IC engines like in lawn-mowers, especially flat-head designs; but I've gone out of my way to fuel my vehicles with it for decades without a problem.
The odor charge was bogus; most of the problem with TDP is it's a patented process and I suspect that CWT wants to control everything, get royalties for the process, build the plant for profit and probably get a cut of the production. The patent is only good for another 7 years so we'll see what happens.

dude, it's clay ground up clay, not some exotic material, hell people drink it in a slurry to release the diarreha, it's called kaopectate!

if they had a sever seeding on a 10Gbs connection, nobody would care if they almost totaly blocked out-of network portions of the BT traffic!
