They're talking about altering lime production significantly. From TFA:
Tim Kruger, a management consultant at London firm Corven is the brains behind the plan to resurrect the lime process. He argues that it could be made workable by locating it in regions that have a combination of low-cost 'stranded' energy considered too remote to be economically viable to exploit â" like flared natural gas or solar energy in deserts â" and that are rich in limestone, making it feasible for calcination to take place on site.
Kruger says: 'There are many such places â" for example, Australia's Nullarbor Plain would be a prime location for this process, as it has 10 000km^3 of limestone and soaks up roughly 20MJ/m^2 of solar irradiation every day.'
The process of making lime generates CO2, but adding the lime to seawater absorbs almost twice as much CO2. The overall process is therefore 'carbon negative'.
I remember playing an game from a Commodore 64 (128?) magazine where you manually controlled an assembly-line-style coffee machine with a conveyor belt; it looked a good bit like this, except the pipes were for cream and sugar and stuff. The more things change...
No, the GP is saying that your understanding of the Big Bang is seriously flawed, therefore any alternative you present is highly likely to be just as seriously flawed. Your "I have a hunch" approach is the same sort of thought-without-experiment that led Aristotle to claim that heavier objects naturally fall faster than lighter ones.
If Wikileaks is smart, they're already zipping up all their files and sending them off to some other web sites on a regular basis. If BJB's lawyers were smart, they would realize this.
BJB's lawyers claimed the following (emphasis added) - anyone know whether the emphasized part is true?
You have no legal right to demand advance knowledge of the name of our client and the documents at issue -- that is the information that is to be and will be included in a DMCA notice and demand letter.
Not which URL, but which jurisdiction(s) the C&D would pertain to.
Per this link from TFA, BJB gave a partial answer ("The jurisdictions at issue include California, the UK and Switzerland") followed by some allusions to US federal copyright law (including the DMCA).
Whoops, let's try that again with the proper markup.
"what's the most speed optimization you've realized?"
At my last job, the boss had the brillant idea of outsourcing some of the coding to an Indian team. Now some Indian coders are good enough to overcome the various disadvantages of being several time zones away, but these guys weren't.
I did a one-line fix to one of their routines, along the lines of
// old code loop through each record in a file if starts with (desired prefix) then do something end loop
// new code loop through each record in a file, starting at (desired prefix) and ending at (desired prefix + CHR(255)) do something end loop
Of course, you know they only tested this on a file with like 10 records in it, whereas the live file had more like 150,000 (and typically only a dozen or two for any given prefix).

They could already see how good I was at technical learning from my degree.
Judging from my own experience, no they bloody well couldn't. Half the people in my senior-level classes couldn't write 100 lines of working code when given two months to bang away at it.
Who says it wouldn't make them any money? They could give away the spec, but continue to sell players implementing that spec. It's not guaranteed that they would make more money this way, but it's at least possible.
To be fair, the AC's method is probably fine if you're just dealing with one or a small handful of machines, as opposed to hundreds of them like in your case.
99% of my work e-mail is to or from a customer. Top-posting, full-quoting, and non-plaintext are the order of the day. Obviously, we have nothing to gain and everything to lose by yapping at them about it, so we simply follow suit. The extra cost of bandwidth and storage is peanuts compared to the cost of Getting Useful Things Done for them.
Are you sure it's that simple? (I don't know, I'm asking. Maybe it should be, and these guys did a Rube Goldberg for no good reason.) Anyway, from TFA:
Next up we decided to pull Opera down onto the XO since the built-in browser gets the job done, but not quite the way we want. In order to do that we created a nested X server, since there's already one running that you don't want to disrupt. So, we basically ran one X server within another, and the nested server-software called Xephyr-ran outside of the other applications we had running. Doing this you can have a traditional Linux desktop running at the same time as your XO stuff, as long as your memory holds out.
(Downloading the necessary packages for the prep work, before installing Opera.)
Then we went to Terminal and had to locate where it downloaded. Then we installed Xephyr, and did a number of modifications to.bashrc using vi-always fun.
(Here you can see all of the work we had to do, including adding a path, making a directory, editing the file xeph, changing the mode of our file xeph, and more. Lots of fun!)
(Here's us locating opera and then unzipping it.)
Below is the final result: Geek.com displayed on Opera running on the XO laptop.
By the way, one of the configuration changes that we showed in a picture above was to the dot pitch. By default Opera is basically unreadable in the X server, due to the XO's screen resolution. Incidentally, if you look closely at the pictures above, all of the steps to doing this hack are captured.
Slashdot Mirror
Read the subject line. In context, he's 100% in agreement with you.
That doesn't sound like "healthy dose" quantities. Clarify plz?
Service-oriented architecture
Mostly correct: XP = NT 5.1 Vista = NT 6.0
Wikipedia doesn't back you up, either, and also mentions that the regular series ran on ABC (but was released on DVD by CBS for some reason).
Bells and Whistles begs to differ.

You're not being evil enough yet. From this one bit in The New Yorker: "too bad they're all fat dudes"
Who says it wouldn't make them any money? They could give away the spec, but continue to sell players implementing that spec. It's not guaranteed that they would make more money this way, but it's at least possible.
What does "rooting behavior" mean in this context? (We have a donated machine with 10.3.9 but I only do a small handful of things with it.)
Not alone (simple math), but 2+ entities who collectively own >50% and refuse to sell would AFAIK suffice.
Groovy.

Warning, link partly hangs my Firefox (works okay in Opera). There are probably some finer details as to when it does/doesn't have issues.
