1. The guy has broken a stack of laws by publishing classified documents etc.
What laws? Where? Assange is not a US citizen and was not within US jurisdiction (no matter that the US thinks the world is under it's authority) when he published Manning's leaks. And there is no law here preventing the publication of that material once it was leaked. See The Pentagon Papers. Chelsea (Brad) Manning was found guilty of leaking documents and did time for it.
Utilities have to recover their capital costs. They paid $X for a shiny new power plant. And just because you aren't using it doesn't mean that the utilities commission isn't going to let them earn their regulated ROI on it. They take their costs and spread them across fewer and fewer kWhs sold. Prices go up.
we're mostly in Democrat-ruled areas so we can't get the zoning done
So, sell the land and move the operation to friendlies territory. Tell the Democrats no more local produce. And enjoy 300k acres of strip malls, apartment blocks and huge parking lots that will replace your farm.
how about getting cyclists OFF the road and onto dedicated paths
Seattle wants the cyclists on the roads with cars. They serve as traffic calming devices (human speed bumps).
Actual cyclists would love dedicated trails, lanes and signals. But the anti-car activists who show up at city council meetings wearing Lycra, helmets and funny shoes would rather have them wobbling around right in front of you.
I wish them luck. The people that leave are the ones with the most marketable skills. The ones that hang on through all the bullshit are the fuck-ups who couldn't get work elsewhere.
That's bad. Very bad. Because now you've created an environment which knocks off the weak strains of bacteria making room for more robust strains. If you can't administer something strong enough to kill them all, just don't bother.
How about giving farm animals a bit more living space? And more of that outdoors. So when a chicken gets sick, they don't pass it to half a million other chickens crammed in the same factory.
but free publications don't count for your publication record.
Where is that written?
So your university won't 'count' free publication in your record? What's their reasoning behind that? (Follow the money.) 'Open source' peer review shouldn't be that difficult to set up if, as you say, reviewers work for free and the opportunity to get a 'first peek'.
Elsevier are Copyright-vultures feeding off the free labor and hard work
Explain to me (and others not familiar with the industry) exactly how this works. I had always assumed that Elsevier and others paid authors (researchers, etc.) for the exclusive rights to their work. If it is actually "free labor", then exactly what motivates a researcher to sign over their rights to a publisher? Work for hire aside, I assume that accepting a grant comes with certain encumbrances on one's rights to that work product. But in this case, it's not "Fuck Elsevier" but fuck whichever institution that just hands their intellectual property over without remuneration. Or do they? Follow the money and find out how much your university gets from a publisher and how much of that ends up in some administrators' pockets.
Reducing emissions like NOx makes sense in places like the Los Angeles basin where there is reduced air circulation and concentrated population centers. But it literally makes no sense in other areas where CO and HC emissions need to be targeted, even at the expense of some more NOx.
When I search for articles about NOx, I find information about the nitrogen cycle and how plants depend, in part, on the NOx produced in the atmosphere by lightning. So, it's plant food.

What exactly are you investing in?
The elimination of cash in India, the EU and soon the USA.
Red pill sales from the cafeteria vending machines have picked up.
They stole that plot directly from here
Obviously gamma radiation corrupted the editor's PC memory resulting in the duplication of words and addition of spurious periods.

Yeah, but those emissions.
they will have the attrition numbers they seek.

the antibiotics given to animals are very weak

And the problem solves itself.

it might be a pun-ishable violation.
Definitely an o-pun and shut case.
Great! Maybe now the Slashdot poll and sidebar ads will be on the back of my device where I don't have to see it.
Because my TV set is NEVER going to be connected to the Internets. And I don't have cable.
Stop the lightning.

You should be thankful. It means that they are running rich, cooler combustion and much less NOx.
Lets all chip in to keep this Disney movie from being released.
I'm afraid the studio is going to ask quite a bit more than the hackers to keep it off the screens.
