Nitrogen Oxides are created by industrial power generation plants (read: power plants) as a product of incomplete combustion.
NOx is generally created as a result two processes. Thermal NOx occurs when combustion occurs at too high of temperatures causing the nitrogen in air to react with the oxygen in air. The other process occurs when the fuel itself contains nitrogen. This generally occurs in higher hydrocarbons, such as gas, diesel, coal, etc.
some inevitably gets out (1-2% of stack gasses).
Actually, it's generally more in the neighborhood of 500-1000 ppm (0.05-0.1%) for bad processes.
I believe it is a greenhouse gas.
This may be true to some extent, but what is more important is that NOx creates smog. It's that acrid smell that you might recognize from bus exhaust, or the like. It combines with water to make nitric acid.
Now if I could figure out a way to make the shock collar go off when someone tries to report a bug, I'd be all set...
Now you want the bug report to actually go though so they'd report bugs, but only the REALLY important ones. If no bug reports actually went through, noone would submit them, and you'd be stuck with crappy code.
Adding the shock collar would get rid of the "you need to comment this better", or "I wish that this button was in hazel"

It was a frickin musical. It looked like it was made by some highschool kids. They were going for so-bad-it's-funny, but got so-bad-the-TV-imploded.
I bet they could put together some scary numbers from statistics about drowning.
The idea of a stack is so ingrained into me, it takes me a good 30 seconds to remember how to use normal calculators nowadays.
