...there are very sensitive official files in here that have no business seeing the light of day within their classification timeframe, such as HUMINT documents.
Then the US government should have kept them secret. Wikileaks didn't break in to the State Depeartment offices and rummage through file cabinets. Some US government employee copied these files. Wikileaks didn't pay him to do so. Why did he do it and why was he able to get away with it?
Furthermore, since most city dwellers' schedules are similar, these loads tend to be activated all at once.
They are often similar but rarely identical. Everyone is not cooking at exactly the same time: the load is spread out over a period of hours. The peak load from a block of houses is never anywhere near the sum of the peak loads of all the houses. The utility companies have studied this subject extensively and use statistics derived from their databases to plan their networks. Building a distribution system capable of handling the once in 1000 years worst-case load would be ridiculously wasteful.
My house has a single phase, 100kW maximum supply, this is pretty normal in the UK.
Typical in the USA as well, but that is peak capacity.
12kW is nothing -- my electric shower is 11kW, immersion heater is similar power too. People tend to have their heating and have a shower at the same time every morning, perhaps electric kettles,
But not for eight hours.
I'm unsure if 100kW could be sustained for each home in the neighbourhood at one time...
Certainly not.
...I'm sure wouldn't go blowing transformers if they had a decent network infrastructure.
A decent network infrastructure is one that is adequate without being wastefully overbuilt.
So why are they complaining, they should just fix the network now?
They have been under pressure for decades to reduce demand in the name of conservation rather than increasing capacity. For example, the regulators in many states require that you be subjected to a punitive surcharge if your monthly consumptions exceeds what they have deemed appropriate. Forcasting and planning for increased demand has been politically incorrect. Utilities have been told that soon everyone will be "green" and demand will fall. Now that electric cars are in they will start upgrading their networks, but that is a slow and expensive process, requiring the borrowing of lots of money (or the sale of lots of stock). That requires a higher rate of return, which means rate increases. Meanwhile, regulatory policies will lag. The utility managers are being prudent by raising the issue now.
Of course, electric cars will remain a niche market until battery prices and capacities improve by an order of magnitude or so, which won't happen for decades at best. At that point it will be economic for the utilities to use batteries for distributed load-leveling.
...in the US is on Indian Reservations, mineral rights remain under the control of the US Department of Interior.
They are managed by the government but they definitely belong to the tribes. Indian tribes own 3% of petroleum and gas reserves in the USA and 15% of coal.

CenturyLink's mail service is managed by incompetent boobs (they contract it out to some outfit called "Bigfoot"). Fortunately, Newsguy provides me with excellent service. However, this requires me to connect to Newsguy's mail servers via SMTP.
NO, it's 50 ISPs. This is significant because it had been claimed by some that most bots were distributed among the thousands of small (and suppoesedly poorly run) ISPs. The fact that most bots connect via a small number of large ISPs means that changes in policy at those ISPs can have a large impact.
The space between our galaxy and the next one over is not empty. It contains extremely rarified gas. If the next galaxy was made of antimatter there would be a transition region where matter and antimatter would mix, collide, and emit easily detected gamma rays.

But the whole point of keeping them at Guantanamo is to keep them out of the USA and so deny them the protection of the law of the capturing country.

Presumably that's why they offer only source files (there are binary blobs in some drivers, though).

...it isn't dead yet.
Wouldn't it be kinder to put it out of its misery, though?

There's nothing "free market" about depressing the price by an order of magnitude or so by dumping stockpiles.

A finite universe can have only a finite number of possible states.
They are claiming an improvement on your invention. That's why they reference it.

Where did you publish? I'm sure Dr. Penrose wouldlike to see your math.
There are no Unix patents.

Farm cats still work for a living. They're more independent contractors than employees, though.
Those gyres are not what you think they are.
There may be pictures in the Nature article but it's behind a paywall.
And since we wish to continue to matter our continued existence matters to us.
Or to put it another way, replace "we" with "I" in the above.

The clients were publishers, not ordinary working people, weren't they? Implying that they were swindled by fast-talking lawyers seems rather naive.
And the algorithms should be applicable to radar and sonar in cluttered environments.
No. Quite the opposite. A small number of very large ISPs are a major source of the problem.
