Sanitation was the first engineering challenge and it has yet to go away. You can pretty well locate a population on the technology totem pole by observing how it takes a shit. I suspect Rome in the second century, thanks to its spending on engineering, smelled better than London in the 18th.
There was something like that in 19th-century fire departments. Their wagon had a storage tank and two pump/hose assemblies: one to suck up water from the nearest river, and one to spray it. The outflow pumpers tried to empty the tank, and the inflow pumpers tried to overflow it, with bragging rights hanging in the balance.
More formally, the rate of heat absorption of ice melting at a rate of one short (i.e., not metric) ton per day. It's about 12,000 Btu's per hour or 3517 watts.
Note that this does not include any heat required to bring colder ice up to the melting point, or any heat added after the melting takes place. The power required to drive an air conditioner equals the number of tons, times 3517 watts, divided by the coefficient of performance of the unit (which is in the neighborhood of 3 for most AC installations). So a one-ton unit with COP 3 will draw a bit over a kilowatt while it's cooling; what you see on your electric bill will be that, times the fraction of the time that the thermostat commands cooling on.
I guess you missed 1980, when the first one went into service in the Florida Keys. Today they're all along the southern border and the Caribbean...this is just the first time one has been stationed farther north.

The artificial scarcity of money is what makes it money.
The same could be said for flying car science.

Sadly you have no idea what a public school is actually currently responsible for doing. Next time your out
Looks as if you'res didn't either.

Specifically this canon was found in luggage
I believe I once had a record of Pachelbel's Canon in my luggage. Perhaps you're thinking of cannons.
Matter of fact, a high proportion of antique blackpowder weapons are indeed packed with powder, because they were often stored that way.

Instead, everyone lined up, from the pier down to where we were stacking the cans.
Time was, surface vessels got their fuel the same way: all the enlisted plus the ensigns passing sacks of coal.
Then again, a lot of English words come from other languages, too.
Well, actually all of them.
From what you posted I read...they got to the PLC's.
Likewise Stuxnet.
I don't give a shit what happens to Rootkits Inc...just pointing out why it's a sensible decision on their part.
If Sony released the film, it would not require another 9/11 to make them lose a catastrophic lawsuit. Another Aurora would be quite sufficient.
Ha a trucking company threatened your life lately?
If they had the smarts to pull off the escape, why assume they wouldn't have the smarts not to boast about it?
Do you have the foggiest idea what kind of firearm it takes to hit an object two miles overhead?
It may carry any number of gases, but only one carries it. And, just guessing here, that one's helium.
Imagine what it would be like if we had mountains 14,000 feet high.
Air Traffic Control has some procedures for keeping airplanes from colliding with stationary objects. They've had practice on, y'know, mountains.
...for news of this coastal radar surveillance system to find its way onto /.

if you need a java developer who can speak both japanese, chinese, and english.
And who probably knows what "both" means...;-)
And mostly piloted by experienced people
Yes.
dedicated to their hobby
Yes.
that typically keep in regular contact with air traffic control
No. They simply keep away from airports.
When you copy even the typographical errors you have a problem.
Yeah, at least they could create their own, like the Commodore 64 "kernal"...
