No Will, it gets turned to compost in Marysville. Trust me, I smell it every day. Don't tell me that Seattle's shit doesn't smell!
Marysville counts as here. Our state may be bigger than the Middle East, but it's still in-state.
As to paper, as someone who grew up on a tree farm, I can tell you that recycled paper accounts for about 50 pct of all office paper in Seattle. As my stepfather who worked on a greenchain or my brothers and sisters and I who limbed trees and made shakes and shingles could tell you, there's a lot of carbon output and fuel usage in getting that tree to your doorstep.
What most people fail to understand is we recycle even food waste in Seattle, which you put in with the yard waste.
When I moved here in the late 80s, used to be the largest bin you put out was Garbage, the next largest was bottles, and once in a while you put out paper.
Nowadays the largest bin we put out is recycling, the next largest is compostable yard waste - which includes food waste like seafood shells, chicken bones, food soiled paper napkins/plates. A lot of forks and knives and spoons and cups you buy here are Compostable - we throw them in the yard waste.
Most of us barely fill a very small plastic shopping bag with garbage - about the size of the thing your newspaper comes in.
When I was a kid in PA and TX the money from pop bottle returns financed all my candy and comic book purchases. At that time a bottle of pop was 10 cents, so finding 3 empty bottles meant I got a free one, and a giant SweetTart cost 10 cents (2 bottles).
We actually have software that will allow data collection on tablets and laptops - heck, even cell phones - for observations by MDs when they do clinical workups on patients.
But - when they use it they get too caught up in the data entry and validation, and observe less than doing the same task with pen and paper on forms.
So, even though we could use electronic data capture - remember, this is clinical observation of subtle physical and psychological aspects of a patient, not stocking an Amazon delivery cart - we don't capture the raw data by electronic means, but do that after we have all the MDs and clinical research staff meet in consensus as to said observations.
Sometimes, paper and pencil are the best approach. Although I prefer pen.
Yeah, you sound like them. "If you knew it was a problem, why didn't you fix it?" I did. I wrote a business case. You rejected it. I notified you of it 10 times, Here's the printed email trail. And here's the email you sent to the owner claiming you didn't know about it. How is it my fault you are a lying sack of shit who tells me to take initiative, then erects road blocks when I do take initiative?
Yes, but you were supposed to fix it for free, in unpaid time, without using company resources, which we had directed be used to stocking the CEO's yacht with goodies for his golf trip with his mistress.
I'm fairly certain the Barons would disagree with you, as they did at Hastings, sir.
But, technically, it is a series of documents, and then there is the EU constitution, which itself is more of a treaty, somewhat like how Canada had the BNA (British North American Act, in the British Parliament) until 1967.
Technically, both the Lone Ranger and Tonto are shamen or spirit walkers, Tonto is the only one at the Superhero level, the Lone Ranger is still resisting his path.
William Gibson saw Pacific Rim twice, I just saw it with my son this weekend, haven't even had a chance to see R.I.P.D., and everyone I know has seen the Lone Ranger and loved it.
I find that turning on a second (or third, or in my case fifth) language usually takes anywhere from 3 to 5 days in the location where the other language is used before you gain fluency, if you don't use it all the time. Accents usually only take a day.
When I was working at Century 21 in Richmond BC most of my colleagues in the office next to mine were French, so when I coded in French, I would mostly just speak French the whole day.
Even having someone with you who is not very good at the other language will slow you down, as you have to keep switching how you think to translate for them. Nothing wrong with that, but it seems to make it take longer to access those portions of your brain/memory.
Well put. Lawyers are like internet trolls, basically parasites which feed on attention. If enough people start ignoring them, or doing as much as possible evade litigous douchebags instead of fighting them on their terms, eventually they will start dying off.
Exactly. No matter what you do, you break five laws every day just existing, so who cares?
I see all these "older" programmers saying stuff like this, but I just don't think they get that everyone who isn't a fossil knows that people will just jack your code anyway.
And then patent it and sell it to some patent troll in the US.
The system is broken. Licenses are for old people.

it sure does sound like all those Win 8 apps nobody uses ...
In Seattle we put food-soiled paper in the yard waste, along with chicken bones, pizza boxes, and seafood shells.
It all gets turned into compost here. Which is then used to grow more food.
Adapt. Pollution has a cost.
Chemo is correct.

The only problem was that bees liked the empties.
Basically it's called Externality Pricing, a key component of Real Capitalism, as opposed to pollution-subsidizing Mercantilism.
Pollution has a cost.
We already make - and use on our giant campus - compostable biodegradeable organic clamshells and food containers. We do the same for "plastic" bags.
We even make bendable bioorganic photovoltaic cells that can wrap around buildings, cars, etc.
Adapt. The time for complaining is over.
Traffic fatalities also vastly outnumber murders. Better just let murderers off with a fine and some community service.
We do that in America.
But only in regards to the Second Amendment.
Basically, escalation such as this will move from Write Once (with backup) to Write Many with Encryption.
Many encrypted copies on many devices, many burner phones, copied with many public devices by many people.
Information just wants to be free - it's how we designed the Internet in the first place.

I really really really hate video ads.
I despise them.
And it's why FB is about to become a dodo - haven't even loaded it on my iPhone5.

Or the US.
Well, yes, but we're insane, so we don't count.
You can pay me now or later. I just want a 1% cut of all new movies.
Make sure you specify 1% of the gross, not net. Otherwise with Hollywood accounting you will somehow wind up owing THEM money.
Has to be 1 pct of gross theater receipts. Otherwise they sock you with the costs of "free" showings.
He's a Western hero, not a superhero.
Technically, both the Lone Ranger and Tonto are shamen or spirit walkers, Tonto is the only one at the Superhero level, the Lone Ranger is still resisting his path.
See, and William Gibson has only seen it twice and I just saw it with my son for the first time.
I blame Hollywood Accounting gimmicks, not actual movie viewership.
Hoping the Japanese version of Pacific Rim has more detail on the Triplets, for example, maybe some extra detail on the monsters.
If so, will watch it again at least once.
I don't get it.
William Gibson saw Pacific Rim twice, I just saw it with my son this weekend, haven't even had a chance to see R.I.P.D., and everyone I know has seen the Lone Ranger and loved it.
And they haven't even started overseas sales.
Don't count the chickens before they've hatched.
Not everything is the first weekend.
But, hey, that doesn't stop the UK, Canada, Britain, or Germany from doing the same thing in violation of their Constitutions, either.
I have thousand of Facebook, Twitter, Media, and other friends.
You're all three hops from me. Every single person reading this.
Millions of American citizens who may or may not agree with me.
Three hops is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, unless you're a bunny.
You can't steal my copyright or that of my friends who wrote them.
Our copyright holds true.
No matter how many islands you own in Hawaii.
Yes, but we'll be getting even faster wireless speeds on campus soon, that will make the LTE from both T-Mobile and AT&T look pitiful.
(caveat - I get the AT&T service)

Great movie.
We saw it in 3D IMAX which is a bit intense, but it should be great in 2D as well.
