http://www.sermonillustrations.com/a-z/n/name.htm "When the 1960s ended, San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district reverted to high rent, and many hippies moved down the coast to Santa Cruz. They had children and got married, too, though in no particular sequence. But they didn't name their children Melissa or Brett. People in the mountains around Santa Cruz grew accustomed to their children playing Frisbee with little Time Warp or Spring Fever.

That's when the kindergarten teachers first met Fruit Stand. Every fall, according to tradition, parents bravely apply name tags to their children, kiss them good-bye and send them off to school on the bus. So it was for Fruit Stand. The teachers thought the boy's name was odd, but they tried to make the best of it.
"Would you like to play with the blocks, Fruit Stand?" they offered. And later, "Fruit Stand, how about a snack?" He accepted hesitantly. By the end of the day, his name didn't seem much odder than Heather's or Sun Ray's.
At dismissal time, the teachers led the children out to the buses. "Fruit Stand, do you know which one is your bus?"
He didn't answer. That wasn't strange. He hadn't answered them all day. Lots of children are shy on the first day of school. It didn't matter. The teachers had instructed the parents to write the names of their children's bus stops on the reverse side of their name tags. The teacher simply turned over the tag. There, neatly printed, was the word "Anthony.""

Mostly due to the fact that my brain is currently swiss cheese,
but I know there have been great big loopholes in things past that would be unconstitutional, slipping through because treaties are consider on equal legal footing with the constitution. If you can get the USA and another country to sign off on it, then it does not have to pass muster with the nine judges in DC...
it's been almost a decade ago- I took verbal instruction to type "rm *.idx" which somehow became something like "rm *.idx" which wound up removing a whole lot more than it should have... it's been so long, I forget exactly what the extra character was...
so I can set it up and then 'beep' transmit everything down the ol 'tubes or I can do what you suggest- $5 a pop to take tapes to the bank? and that is cheaper?
really? really? how much do you think it costs to send a 'secretary' to the bank and back. $5? Really?
forget setup/and recycle, costs of every time there is a new authorized user or user to remove from the authorized list. Forget Gas in the car or maintenance on a car forget the cost of backup tapes- (7 sets of 2 tb data say) forget the cost of a tape drive and the labor to have someone swap them in and out forget the cost of a LOST tape en route...
lets just look at salary
I have employees, I sometimes need to send someone to the hardware store for a 23 cent screw.
if I pay that guy $10 an hour, he is costing me 12.20 an hour, and so that means 25 minutes is $5.00 in labor alone.
Now, try this- in your head, go from a law office, to the bank, get access to a safety deposit box, and get back in 25 minutes-consistently.
if I'm paying that secretary $15 she has to make the trip in 16.39 minutes.
if you had a very efficient windmill, and a very aerodynamic & hydrodynamic boat-- why is it impossible?
picture a pulley mounted on the sea floor, through which a rope connects two boats, both 100 miles downwind from the pulley
BOTH are of equal mass.
one boat has a large sail and is angled to go with the wind-away from the pulley, the other boat is very aerodynamic and pointed into the wind
you are suggesting the aerodynamic boat won't move into the wind?
imagine the aerodynamic boat has a windmill mounted on it. yes- it will be far more efficient to have the boat going in the same direction as the wind but is it absolutely required? there is no tipping point where windpower can generate enough electricity to move a ship against the wind?
this story http://solarfeeds.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5404:cargo-ship-powered-by-solar-panels&catid=129:ggs&Itemid=249 says that a 40kw solar setup supplies 2% 40 going into 1500 37.5 times gives us 75% (37.5*2) of the energy needed for the ship if one of the GE turbines could supply 75% of the energy needed, two of them would supply 150% of the energy needed-- as I readily accept we are going into the wind- the ship is providing one hell of a lot of counterforce- but it could not be overcome with a third?

If you can trust the web engine, but not the staff- does it really matter? it's still a fail.

Change is after all inevitable
but what if the change is within "preferring paper to e-books" and not within "big name publishers tend to disagree"
Neither do I, from a legal standpoint anyway.. I do know claims have been made for 'touching' someone as assault.
To follow me, you follow me.
to GPS track me, you are touching my car.
if touching your shirt is assault, why isn't touching my car destruction of property?

I myself wonder, are you available for hire? I'm guessing you'd be cheap.
the wind is adding energy to the situation
if you had a very efficient windmill, and a very aerodynamic & hydrodynamic boat-- why is it impossible?

this story
http://solarfeeds.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5404:cargo-ship-powered-by-solar-panels&catid=129:ggs&Itemid=249 says that a 40kw solar setup supplies 2%
40 going into 1500 37.5 times gives us 75% (37.5*2) of the energy needed for the ship
if one of the GE turbines could supply 75% of the energy needed, two of them would supply 150% of the energy needed-- as I readily accept we are going into the wind- the ship is providing one hell of a lot of counterforce- but it could not be overcome with a third?
can it be a big mother mounted windmill and an electric motor???
bonus being- no tacking into the wind-- rotate the damn windmill and head on into it...
