Gloves, masks and hose down the victim with water. Diluted enough, Sarin isn't 100% fatal. Witness the videos of some of the victims still alive (but in poor shape).
The electric drive idea has been proposed and prototyped. But it operates off APU/engine generator power. APUs are more fuel efficient than main engines. And main engine driven generators can produce appreciable levels of power even at idle or reduced thrust settings. Also, these drive systems can push the plane backwards, eliminating the need for a pushback from a tug. Although a few crazy pilots have been known to push back from a gate using reverse thrust.
Two things have prevented widespread adoption of this technology. First, for safety reasons, ground personnel are still needed to walk the plane out of a gate and prevent collisions with other objects. And second, airlines and pilots like to start, warm up and run engines on the ground at some thrust level prior to takeoff in order to ensure their subsequent proper operation during takeoff and climb (critical, high thrust flight segments). So the engines will be run on the ground regardless of tugs and electric motor technology.
Just don't go spouting any bullshit about freedom of speech, religion, freedom from unreasonable searches, etc. Or they'll throw you out as some sort of commie subversive
So by spreading the return of the salt to the ocean over an area that avoids local hypersalinization, we'll not have much effect on the salinity of the oceans.
Right. But who would build a desalinization plant in a location that would be susceptible to local hypersalinization? The plant efficiency would drop and fresh water production would eventually cease. Plants will be built in places with sufficient ocean currents to dilute their brine output and carry it away.
hahahah-, oh wow you're serious, let me laugh some more.
marginal production cost: the cost to produce one additional item. In the software world, you build an app, test it and load it on the server. The marginal production cost is the cost of one more person clicking on your 'Download' link.
I'm guessing that you don't work anywhere in or around the software business.
because all the software is too expensive and poof.
Software is a strange business. Unlike manufacturing, where workers' salaries and benefits go to the finished products costs, writing software is a fixed cost. Once you go into production, that cost is spread over the units sold. In fact, pay more for better design talent up front and you can reduce your per unit support costs. And in the software business, with a near zero marginal production cost, support is really the only factor remaining to be considered. This is why the smart companies* will pay a premium for this sort of talent. In fact, a lot of engineering follows this pattern.
*Stupid companies, a few of which I've worked for, tend to load up engineering and management on the moron offspring of company execs. Because it's all just overhead anyway. See The Dilbert Principle.
Yeah, that's going to work out well. It is going to use a white space database to select 'unused' spectrum (i.e. TV channels) and enable Super WiFi equipment to operate there. But here's the thing: I have a decent rooftop antenna and I can pick up ATSC signals from as far away as 60 miles. Now someone nearby plugs in their Super WiFi access point and the database says, "Go ahead and use this channel. Nobody could possibly receive TV with a pair or rabbit ears." And my TV reception goes into the crapper. So this happens to enough of my neighbors and they break down and pay exorbitant fees to have cable TV built out. And then they get broadband with that, making Super WiFi pointless.
It looks like this will play right into the hands of the likes of Comcast. Jam broadcast TV and get more cable TV subscribers. So yeah, Super WiFi will help bring broadband to rural areas.
This may be so. And I'm not going to get pulled into a discussion of how good/bad.NET and its minions are. But it raises the question of why these organizations haven't moved up to a current, supported version of Windows Server and IIS.
Here's the thing: If annotated copies of the law are the official copy, annotations are a creative work and Lexis-Nexis has been commissioned to produce them, then who elected Lexis-Nexis to this lawmaking position? If the answer is that the legislature or courts delegated their constitutional duties to Lexis-Nexis, then their work product is a part of the public records. If Lexis-Nexis incurred a cost in performing their legislative duties, then they should have sought reimbursement from the state.
I can see two problems here: The cost of making public records available being passed through a for-profit entity. And the an unelected entity making material changes to the states laws outside of the process put forth in their constitution.
decisions must be made about what information to include in the compilation and what information to exclude.
But who is making these decisions? And, since it is the annotated state code that is the official law, are they empowered under the state constitution to make laws?
But all of the things that make up annotations are matters of public record. The annotations are not the product of creative work, only the compilation of existing public information. And they should not be subject to copyright protection.
The same logic was applied by the US Supreme Court to deny copyright protection of phone books.

That's not perfectly black. It's got a bunch of blue pixels randomly distributed across it.
I'd rather eat Johnson

Sort of. The first Costco store was (still is) in the city of Kirkland. Which is where they go their store brand name.
This is just the redundant copy.
Why? Because they don't know the words?
