I've used three plotters over the years. Two were incredibly ancient flatbed plotters that used felt-tip pens, while the third was a plotter that moved the paper and used an inkjet-style printhead to draw lines.
And to make things even better, the energy the process requires comes from natural gas produced in the later stages of the thermal depolymerization process. The only energy a TDP plant needs is an initial shot of natural gas to get things going, and an electical supply for such things as controlling valves and running sensors.
Oil prices are rising. A 50% rise is sufficient to make this profitable, and in the mean time, it's a good way to get rid of hard-to-handle wastes like worn-out tires and used motor oil.
I don't know about cases like medical waste or electronics, but when it's using turkey guts or other agricultural waste as a feedstock, it is able to run itself off the natural gas produced, leaving crude oil as an energy-producing product.
Fire code. When someone hits the Big Red Button, all electrical power in the server room must be out. Therefore, UPSs can't be located in server racks (or if they are, you need to go to the effort of wiring them into the BRB).
SubLogic Flight Simulator (the software Microsoft bought and turned into MSFS) was originally intended to be used as a training simulator for instrument flight rules (IFR) flying and instrument navigation. I don't know if they ever got the certification.
It's simple: very positive PR. That, and a chance to show off their search capabilities. The Wikipedia internal search engine has been offline for months now, due to performance problems.
This sounds like a charitable donation, not any sort of official sponsorship. If that's the case, then if Google doesn't like something, Wikipedia can simply go back to its old system.
Wikipedia would also be the perfect place to demonstrate their search capability and test new search algorithms: it's got good internal linkage, contributers are well-behaved, it's very high-traffic, and it's got a large document base to work from.
I'll keep that in mind to try the next time I need to reboot that box -- which probably won't be until the next time the power goes out for more than 10 minutes.
There's nowhere else to plug it in. The fan uses a two-pin connector with non-standard keying. And I doubt it's drawing too much power -- it's a 50mm low-speed fan.

I've never had a power supply fail, and a good thing: most of the computers I own use custom PSUs.
It probably won't break down for a long time. Enermax PSUs, particularly the older ones, are known for being able to run at well over their rated wattage. One test (by tomshardware, I think) had an Enermax 350 running at 420 watts with no trouble.

And your solution for uneven fading of the socks after multiple washes is.......?
You should be happy with the sites I design, then. The only restriction I place on passwords is that it be at least 8 characters and less than 255. Beyond that, if you can get it into the entry field, it's fair game.
Also, I have forgotten in all my posts here, to mention freight. Airships have much more lifting capacity than planes and some post doesn't care if it takes a few more hours to get there. You will find your trains carry a lot of post and parcels, I think.;)
But if time isn't a consideration, you put it on a ship -- ships have cargo capacity that makes an airship look puny, and use even less fuel.
You know how much effect on performance the transparent menus and fading have? None. You get it for free once you move the effort of window compositing to the video card.

Actually, it's $80 per barrel of #2 heating oil, which is basically crude oil with the heavy fractions separated out.

I have a paper sitting on my computer detailing the cryptographic weaknesses of AES encryption as implemented in WinZip.

The information provided is the equivalent of a bug report of "It doesn't work".
Hopefully both of them will disappear. Right now, the only reason they're included is that the internal search engine was overloading the servers.

The version of AtEase I dealt with would load even if the shift key was held down.
Yes, but 100,000 emails from an ISP big enough to have 1000 zombies isn't that much spam.
It isn't, but the distribution is symmetric around the mean.

That was the original plan. Station maintenence is a full-time job for two and a half crewmembers, and the original plan called for a crew of nine.
