I'm thinking that inhaling the exhaust and the desire to create more of it involves a positive feedback loop. Something to do with brain damage levels.
Around here, almost all the soot can be attributed to folks who enjoy "rolling coal." -- particularly in close proximity to fuel-efficeint autos and bicycles.
At our house, electricity usage goes UP in the winter -- We heat with a geothermal heat pump with resistance heat as the back-up for very cold days.
That's not to say I wouldn't want a few of these paired with rooftop solar.
The Social Security website gets and "F", too. And it has been that way for quite some time.

So damned if you do, damned if you don't.
We stopped buying Sparc gear when Oracle took over. We figured that if dealing with Sun was Hell, dealing with Oracle would be another Circle of Hell entirely.
I once went to a Staples to buy a ream of paper. Their computers were down. So they decided to close the store. Said they couldn't sell anything. Apparently, they couldn't locate any office supplies that would have allowed them to write up a sale.
I was under the impression (no pun intended) that the old-school imprint technique was declared unacceptable (in the PCI-DSS rules) a few years back.
Perhaps the rules for securing the imprints were just so cumbersome that it made using them completely impractical. I can't imagine fast food joints maintaining the physical security required for this.
Companies don't fall apart when they lose their CEO or CFO
So what this boils down to is the notion that head of organizations, be they terrorist or corporate (insert joke here), we overspend on resources directed at the top.
In targeting terrorists, we spend big bucks on weapons systems and focus intelligence attention at the top.
In the case of corporations, we pay huge salaries -- believing the heads to be irreplaceable.
In both cases, there are plenty of qualified, motivated individuals ready to do a hydra-like head regeneration of the top levels.
(IANAL). I was quite surprised this even reached the high court. The broadcasters have a revenue model of paying by putting ads in front of eyeballs. This service arguably helps them meet that goal. Yes, I'm sure they'd like to double-dip and get paid for the "rebroadcast," but if you are giving your product away for free over the public airwaves, you should not be allowed to complain about where folks choose to locate their antennas. Be happy for the extra eyeballs.
Three men, three women, not much to do. Watch what happens with their mode and relationships.
Will there be a Ross and a Rachel on the mission?
Wait... The puffy shirt was on Seinfeld!
Parent suggested that SL was older than it is. I don't think it is out of line to expect Apple to support an OS that shipped on its hardware for at least the length of the warranty.
SL is hardly ancient. It does, however run 3rd party software that won't run on newer OSen.
But with electric lighting, it's pretty much never dark in areas where people live and work.
That argument works if you are indoors, but if you are outside gardening, cycling, etc, more hours of post-workday daylight are a real boon. Of course we could also solve the problem by adjusting the clock time start/end of work days or adopting more flex time working, but that seems to be just as controversial.
When I'm hiring for unix admin jobs, I don't give a fig about what degree you have. Just what you can do and how fast you can learn.
Demonstrate that, and there will be no shortage of job offers.
Get rid of the penny and the one dollar bill.
We save money on printing the dollar bill and make room in cash register for a one dollar coin.
And the 2 dollar bill.

I was thinking the same thing: Star Trek TOS "The Naked Time." IRL.

You should have seen my bills on propane. I'll take the electric any day.
Nope. Peak in winter is MUCH higher -- On cold days, you kick in a 10KW resistance heat unit.
The compressor doesn't come anywhere near this.

It gets better. secure.ssa.gov currently gets an F rating at ssllabs. (Vulnerable to Poodle both sslv3 and TLS).

A bit of googling does suggest that imprints can be still used. Still, I can't imagine the security requirements being met in a fast food environment.

Same as always.

In my office we have a machine or two that shipped with SL and are still within the 3 year applecare warranty period.
I'd be happy if they concentrated their efforts on fixing the seemingly never-ending parade of security holes in the 6 and 7 before they move on to 8.
