CO2 reinjection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is not that common. It is a relatively new technology, in the grand scheme of things. See here for some info.

"I have a nice new IT job with a non-profit. They are a growing organization and management has realized that they need to bring their way of doing business up to a professional level. Several years back, their IT department was still operated like it was in a home office -- fine when you're dealing with three people, not so good when there's over a hundred users. IT got its act together and is now doubled in size and inefficiency. The rest of the organization is a bit more chaotic and management wants to pay lip-service to changing that. One of the worst problems is a inaccurate black-lists. All knowledge is passed on via an oral tradition. Someone gets hit by an Air-marshall and that knowledge is lost forevermore. Now I know what I've seen in the past. There's the big-binder-of-crap-no-one-reads method, usually used in conjunction with nobody-updates-this-crap-so-we-don't-find-any-terrorists-anyway approach. I've been hearing good things about company wikis, and mixed reviews about Sharepoint and its intranet capabilities. Another alternative is to start a blog. And yes, I know that this is all a waste of time if there's no follow-through from management. But assuming that the required support is there, how do you guys populate your no-fly lists?"
I'm not sure how the US Congress works in this regard, but in Australia, it is always useful to CC your email or letter to the minister and shadow minister, in addition to your local member. Nothing like getting your issue aired in Question Time
You should also add that prior to GPRS being implemented, that the ability to send data from handset to handset was by using the network control protocols*, rather than within voice packets. Of course the GSM system wasn't designed to send masses of data by this method, so as far as the network infrastructure is concerned, high volumes of SMS data is a much greater burden than the packet data sent during a voice call.
*This is my non-techie understanding. Somebody with GSM background can elaborate with the correct jargon.
I thought that CDs had their data layer on the top, covered by a protective lacquer, but with DVDs the data layer is actually sandwiched between two polycarbonate disc layers. My memory tells me that this was the reason for dropping the jewel cases in favour of a new design that popped the disc of its mount by pushing the centre of the mount. Storing DVDs in jewel cases would overstress the disc near the hub during mount/demounting in the case, causing delamination of the two polycarbonate layers (thus destroying the disc).
So basically... you're never, ever going to see a 'gas station' for electric cars. They'll always be charged for long periods at home, or at 'charging garages'. Which wouldn't really matter too much, since most people (who commute) will leave their car parked someplace for an extended period. For lengthy car trips, a trailer-mounted fossil-fuel powered generator could supplement the battery charge, and be available on a hire basis.
Kids these days. Surely taking up one penis enlargement offer is enough for anybody. I bet you were also checking the time on one of your dozen or so cheap Rolex's too.
but the company lawyers are worried that someone else runs away with our IP What parts of 'software released under the GNU GPL isn't their IP' and 'software taken from the GNU GPL codebase isn't their IP' don't they understand?
I would have thought that Copyright law was pretty unambiguous, and that any conditions imposed regarding distribution of a copyrighted work is at the whim of the copyright holder.
This would apply to any distribution license.
No need to test anything in court, unless you wish to discuss the finer detials of Copyright Law itself.
Programmers would be paid to code up new features... Somehow my mind doesn't parse this logic, since I'm struggling to understand who will do the paying, and what incentive there is to shell out a wad of cash to a programmer to create an application from scratch.
And yes, they would have to create much of the code base from scratch, as there is no incentive for those putting up the money to release their know-how into the wild. Of course the individual programmers might be allowed to take the code they create with them, but still, the result will only be as good as the code-base that a programmer brings along. And what incentive is there for a programmer to share his code-base in the wild? Not much, since his personal know-how and code-base is what makes him competitively employable, which he has to be to put food on the table.
Ah, so I go and look at the licenses for FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, which all seem to come with strings attached, no matter how loose. Note that each of these licenses are based on the premise that copyright law is valid and enforceable.

Perhaps he's now a surgeon.

Just my two bob worth. Might be totally wrong.
Because the sodium/water reaction does not need atmospheric oxygen to sustain the reaction.
2Na + 2H20 -> 2NaOH + H2
Thus any blanketing atmosphere would have to be kept quite dry. Not impossible though. Interting would only assist if H2 production was anticipated.
There you go. Fixed that for you.
You really should get your boss to read his emails on the screen.

Shouldn't this be posted under 'Ask Slashdot', in order to mobilise the world's best legal minds?
Sure. We'll send your mother down to the basement on a daily basis to pick up the specimen containers and to leave you with some empties.
Microwave. Two minutes. Fixed.

So before you get your meat pie when you're at the Australian Open, make sure you ask for the sauce.

That's a pretty shithouse business model. However's a fella gonna make enough question-marks with that.
I'm surprised that the OpenOffice.org Community Council hasn't taken steps to protect their trademark.
Yeah, you download it from your sequel server.
