Still, the economics of recycling versus landfill usage are highly dependent on the lack or presence of what are effectively subsidies.
A few decades ago, I recall a legal dispute between a waste recycling company and a municipality.
The city had a long term contract that required them to pay "Immense Green-Ish Waste Management Incorporated" some tens of dollars per ton of newsprint recycled.
After the contract was negotiated the price of recycled paper happened to boom - at about the same time, recycling coming into favor on the demand end. Enterprising individuals were driving around picking up the newspaper before IGIWMI crews could get it.
Last I was paying attention, the city was being sued by the waste management company for not vigorously prosecuting this "grand theft", after the latter refused to at all consider renegotiating the contract terms so that every bit of this theft did not also save the city a grand amount of money.
I'm wondering how long it will be until my recyclables are considered public property even if I don't put them in the recycling bin.
"I'm sorry sir, it is now illegal to sell your aluminum cans yourself, you must by law dispose of them in the bin to subsidize the cost of disposing of the non-recyclables, and the part of the "recyclable" stuff that we lose money on."
How can this leave out the standard cascade failure scenario?
Trying to achieve redundancy, someone gets what they think is worst-case-30A of servers with multiple power supplies, plugs one power supply on each into one PDU rated 30A, one power supply into the other.
They may or may not know that the derated capacity of of the circuit is only 24A, the data center is unlikely to warn them as they only appear to be using 15A per circuit at most.
Anyway, something happens to one of the PDUs and the power is lost from it. Perhaps power factor corrections (remember the derating?) and cron jobs running at midnight on all the servers that raise the load high simultaneously. Maybe just the failure of one of the PDUs that was feared, causing the attempt at "redundancy".
In any case, all of the load is then put on the remaining circuit, and it always fails. The whole rack loses power.
It could save a lot of time if they would just pass the executive branch a few blank legislations to be filled in later.
There isn't anything in the constitution prohibiting it, is there? Of course, you could not apply it ex post facto to dates before the blanks were filled in and so on.
The US Constitution (as interpreted by SCOTUS) contains the qualifications for being president or a congresscritter. Said US Congress and the state governments do not, with or without executive signature, have the power to add additional restrictions like former professions, term limits, and so on to the few requirements mentioned.
It was not that long ago that US Amateur radio operators were required to use 5-bit baudot only for TTY communications, because using ASCII was considered "encoding" data.
They decide if these are both Canis canis subspecies yet? I remember a wolf expert complaining that this should not be done because it might take away his livelihood some years ago.
From the CERN news release: "With the amount of data expected, called one inverse femtobarn by physicists, the combined analysis of ATLAS and CMS will be able to explore a wide mass range, and there's even a chance of discovery if the Higgs has a mass near 160 GeV. If it's much lighter or very heavy, it will be harder to find in this first LHC run."
And (apologies to the late Andy Kaufman as Latka Gravis on Taxi), assuming the LHC's magnets don't get too wet. Or too dry.

A driverlless car ate my baby!
oops...
Depends on the efficiency. Ideally all of the energy would be turned into mechanical work.
DMCA violation notice from Apple...

Other types of propaganda.
You certainly might.

They always try to blame it on the hardware.

First, because the carbon was already really in the environment, second, because the methane is a much worse greenhouse gas if released unburned?
Covering those power strip buttons with a hardened glob fixing them in the "on" position is what an electric glue gun is for.

One? I expect very high resolution aerial views of the Googleplex office compound then.

Soot was just so ordinary no one ever bothered to distill the different molecules out of it, to see if any had unusual properties.
C60 is just too big a fraction, with too distinct properties, to have been missed otherwise for so long.
But we've never survived such a period of severely healthy satellite environment before. How can you be so flippantly optimistic?

Port numbers.
Sorry, we're all out of IPs for port 80. Have you heard of DNS SRV records?
Sysadmin does not allow firewall to connect out to the destinations you suddenly need to get to? Fix it.
Canis familiaris, Canis lupus...

I just hope they have working NUMA support and have jumbo frames fixed in the network bridging in Xen 4.0.

Which makes the question: Why should the vast majority of women be colorblind when their condition could be corrected?
Are we talking about curing the lower case color blind or the upper case Color Blind?
