Grease can also be used as an animal feed supplement. My chickens love bacon grease, or used frying oil mixed with their feed. I don't understand why anyone would just dump perfectly good grease. It should be easy to find someone to take it, and possibly even pay for it.
My guess is that the grease is just a cover story, and the real purpose of the cameras is something else entirely.
It's PETA looking for people feeding grease to chickens.. or so I've heard.

Let's say that coffee and tea cause global warming (climate change). In other words, let's make the "evil" bit more personal. Are you ready to give up coffee and tea?
Sometimes we have a better understanding of things when we make it a bit more personal...
Now... do you need coffee and tea more than you need electricity? more than you need manufactured goods? If you believe the answer to be "no", then this just became even more personal.
Sure, we could force all countries to have military rule and force all fossil and nuclear fuels to "end" business and switch to very very expensive alternatives. We could do that I suppose. But I think it would have to be done by force. The general populace won't give up tea and coffee easily.
With that said, a lot of these "evil" companies hedge their bets and spend a lot of money researching alternative sources just in case they are forced to change.
Now... the pain of switching, if done over a very long period of time... it's quite possible we would be ok with regards to our personal lifestyles (indeed, not talking about readers here, but the truth is, there has been some change already, just maybe not enough at a fast enough pace). However, since the "evil" potential is still out there, then the truly evil (not the current oil, gas, coal and nuclear companies) could exploit those technologies and possibly cause problems.... just saying...
With that said, if we can turn an alternative into a viable cheap and reliable solution that is economically better than oil, gas, coal and nuclear, then those big companies will change very very quickly. No sense being stuck in the past doing something more expensive.
Best solution happens at the consumer/people level. If "we" stop using "evil" energy. If "we" stop using the "evil". If we stop drinking coffee and tea... they (the evil companies) are forced to change. Are you ready? Currently the answer is a very clear "no".
N*flix extends employment to the newborn children of employees!!!
[Children obtained during employment outside of physical or surgically assisted birth are not elligbile wth the exception of adoption while employed. Children born , obtained or adopted while not employed at Neflix are ineligible.].
Given that they've released close to zero technical details on how it works, but stated that it's nonvolatile, has 1000x the endurance of NAND flash while being 1000x faster, is cheaper than DRAM, and will be available in 128GBit capacities any minute now, my guess is that it's based on magic.
Until they release full specs you cannot assume that it's based on magic. I just hope they didn't base it on myth. But we'll see.

Lesson for IBMers and other people lacking knowledge or network skills, we've had private addressing for a while, and if IBM is going to toss every acquired network (and some are really nice) overboard and reassign anyway, why not start developing a migration plan today to private addressing? Again, the real reasons have nothing to do with cost and/or culture. Have everything to do with "it's too difficult for IBM" and "IBM is too lazy".
Remember, IBM is forcing acquired companies to use "the 9" so you have to renumber anyhow. IBM already knows how to glue foreign networks in during transition. No, your arguments as to "why" are not the real reasons. And I'll tell you right now that you'll never get a truthful answer from IBM. It's not part of their culture.
Also remember, while not IBM (thus unimportant low lifes to IBMers), many companies did the right thing and moved to private addressing and even returned their large land grab blocks... Sure, it meant that "culturally" those companies had to change. And IMHO, some culture change at IBM could be a really good thing.
No. Good (IBM) politically correct message though. IBM simply lacks the skills to make it happen and they use (brainwash) the masses with the word "culture" as a cheap excuse. IBM building a smarter planet... if you still live in the 60's.
There are a few large companies in the USA that refused to relinquish large Class A blocks, shoot even to sell them... these companies (which I'd love to name) missed the boat when IPv4 address costs (for sale) was highest and are actually waiting for this next "crisis" in hopes that they can get billions for Class A nets (these companies date back to "the beginning" and the use their Class A addresses for non-Internet facing internal addressing (that is they are wasting the addresses) simply because they lack the skills to change). With that said, you may have to pay 100's of billions just because they lack the ability to change effectively. It's actually very sad.
Not so much a comment as a clarifying question.... obviously the only potentially viable plan is nuclear. The others create more pollution than what they save... so they're out. But is there a solution to "spent rods"? Should we hope that Russia's "send them to the bottom of the ocean" technique works? What is the cost of making "spent rods" a non-issue? Just asking....
I understand some of the "dense storage" techniques that pushes the problem out... but won't this still be a problem? Also, is there or will there be a black market for the waste material that could be used by some crazy folks?

Why does cycling attract so much cheating?
You'd think that Bill Belichick were the coach...
If Bill were coach, you'd cheat and win though... wouldn't you?

Too sunny already. I'm having to stoke the coal fires more often just to help blot it out.

True. And while slashdot comments aren't encrypted, most of them are obfuscated.
Didn't Trump say he was going to fire any CEO of a company that hires H1-B workers... maybe not... but sounds like something he'd say...
Maybe we could farm Helium from WD HGST drives?
I guess that's like having George Lucas fix Star Wars Ep. I-III, sort of ridiculous.
I hear our (USA) government has decided to come to our (everyone's) defense and pay the guy approximately 5 trillion in unmarked twenties.
Done...

I liked the movie. sure, there were problems. But you get an appreciation for it after watching Star Wars episode I.

How about this spin:
The primarily Mexican undocumented immigrants came to do the jobs that no one else would do for a less than fair wage.
Wonder how the PC police will render that if it were in a textbook.
Put the datacenters in Hollywood.
Isn't Eric Raymond in the middle of a major rewrite of the NTP software, with emphasis on security?
I heard it was going to become part of systemd.
Doubtful, unless you're talking about fetchd?
