"5.6 grammes won't go far given how heavy gold is"
You can pound gold so thin that you have to cut it with bamboo because it will stick to a metal blade. A pound of gold pounded out to foil will cover en entire football field. How many circuit boards you think that'll cover?
"LCD/Plasma/OLED will have even more gold simply because of the huge mass of pins driving the display array"
No, in fact most of those edge pins on the glass are tin, and you attach driving boards to them with a special non-conductive glue. I used to repair large-screen LCD and Plasma TVs. Aligning the pins was impossible without a microscope. You had 1/20th of a millimeter of room between pin connections.
Most electronics recycling companies are junking the plastics, and only recycling what's on the boards or other components, then junking the boards and component remnants as well.
They're not giving a shit about the plastics, since that's not what they're after. They want that gold, copper, silver, aluminum, iridium, platinum, and such.
What? Fucktons of horrible byproducts get generated depending upon the method of extraction and refining of gold. Ever hear of mercury amalgamation or cyanide leaching? Nitric acid processing? Do you even mine and extract gold? I do, but only as a by-product of hunting down gemstone material. If it's not in native form and large enough to bother with without the need for chemical (excepting dihydrogen monoxide) or fire to extract, I'm on it, but otherwise some other fool can have fun with the tailings and poisoning the environment.

Son, you act as if any of this would stop me or any of my friends that live in your area from fucking you up.
Think a little harder, you brain-damaged fuckwit.
If I've got the balls to supposedly go after a District Attorney, what makes you think your tiny ass is LESS VULNERABLE?
Do you even understand basic power structure, moron?
You're far, FAR below me. I could literally RAPE YOU at any time and you couldn't fight back. That's the literal power structure, you tiny bitch boi. I've been physically watching you through people I know in your neighborhood. You're bitch-mode. You couldn't fight back if your life DEPENDED ON IT. My pinky could arm-wrestle your ass into the fucking ground, twink.
Should I start posting the pictures my pals have been taking of you AND YOUR FELLOW DRUG-ADDLED RESIDENTS?
"Scenario 2 is exactly the kind of thing HTTPS and modern browsers protect against."
I think tepples owned your ass enough, so I'll just sit here and add one further thing - the ISP controls your connection and can force all kinds of shit upon you through various manner of trickery. I used to work for IXL Memphis, a dial-up provider, and we'd fuck you left and right no matter what encryption you'd use.
You claim it's not you yet you quickly posted after I called out the 'other person.'
You're fucking known across 3DFiles and ArsTechnica (before it was Ars) for making sockpuppet accounts, you lying fucking shitstain. OVER TWENTY FUCKING YEARS OF PROOF.
Keep lying. Your lies are as transparent as newborn squid skin.
Ahh, yes, you keep on deflecting, you poor child. See, now I've got solid proof (yay fucking SUBPOENAS) of your shit.
You didn't call the number. I know.
Only took a couple of days to get it.
I asked for pedophilia proof, you link to something without it as if it were proof of pedophilia. You're obviously brain-damaged and now I've got the proof I need to force yet ANOTHER FINANCIAL JUDGMENT against you, because this is provable libel.
Are you going to learn? Probably not, so I guess now it's time for some fun times, and extra retirement cash for me. All drained from your supportive family who can't help but bail out the poor mentally-unstable child they're responsible for.
"Some of you may not know the glory of anonymity in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) days."
Uh, no, you had no anonymity. CID before you connected to my BBS pretty much ensured that, and most of you had no clue about it back then.
Being able to call someone back after they tried to raise hell on my system was always fun. Having a child berating you for being stupid enough to not cover your tracks before trying stupid shit pretty much got most of them to never try connecting again.
Yes it is extremely hard, as there is very little direct matter contact in space, so you cannot use convection or conduction as your means of temperature regulation. You are stuck with emitted radiation as your only real means of keeping cool.
Solar is working just fine 2AU away from the sun, thanks. Opportunity and Spirit lasted way longer than designed and ran off of solar from so far away.
The real trick, boss, is power efficiency.
Learn to make shit efficiently. That includes your goddamned code.
"So that the ISP can't modify the page in transit to include advertisements or other unwanted elements, which Comcast has been caught doing. "
Doesn't stop them anyways, I've already seen it with Charter when it comes time to pay your bill. They have a way to break your HTTPS so they can inline a "Your bill is past-due" through whatever page you're viewing.
Lots of nice shiny pricey rock to work and polish and sell. Far more entertaining than the internet because you truly never know what you'll see when you're finished.
Meanwhile, the internet is pretty easy to break down: Porn, fake news, privacy invasions, idiots everywhere, data mining, advertising, memes, censorship, social justice warriors, control freaks (did I just accidentally repeat myself?) cowardly anonymous fucks that like to claim people are doing things which they themselves are the ones are likely to be doing, religious/spiritual/new wave nutjobs, snake oil salesmen, and rarely do you come across useful information/discourse now thanks to how search engines and most major sites have geared to serve you advertising, not information.
Looking at the can of spray-on electroplating compound I have, it explicitly says "These nano-particles of metal can cause respiratory damage. Always wear proper respiratory gear and use this product in a well-ventilated area."
The gaming system will only work for about a year or two, then suddenly support gets dropped without warning, all the servers go offline, and everyone's left with a useless hunk of hardware.
"Not your threats, not your rampant pedophilia, nothing."
"sex offending"
Got proof of that, eh, Friend of APK? Note how you're too much of a coward to identify yourself and lend any sort of actual credibility to your shit, let alone post any actual fucking evidence of sexual impropriety (been married for 12 years, good fucking luck.) But that's typical of people like you. And I whipped plenty of ass in prison (that's what RID was all about in Mississippi, extra prison labor and security) and your cowardly ass is no exception, you'd be floored in the first 15 seconds.
Still waiting on actual evidence, which will guaranteed never come. Oh sure, you'll probably try to make some shit up. I'm ready for it, ya cowardly fuck.:D
Still waiting on the pedophilia proof, you lying sack of shit.

Those who accuse someone really hard of doing something are usually the ones doing it themselves, as proven by the Republican party and Christian ministers and priests. You're Christian, pedophilia in the Abrahamic religions is pretty much a given. So which children are YOU diddling, Mr. n00b of deflection?
Little short bursts, and then when someone does anything they perceive as a slight, constant shitstorm until they autistic-fit themselves to exhaustion.
Amusing. I wonder what they'd have done had the CTO called them fags instead.
And only a mere 200 Gbit? That's child's play, I've got an easy order of magnitude more bandwidth than that just on my remote office servers alone.
Betting none of them are over the age of 25, otherwise they'd know where to get real bandwidth.

"BellSouth was the first company to deploy caller ID in December 1988 in Memphis, Tennessee"
Guess where my primary BBS was hosted from from July 1993 onwards until I moved to California and shut it down. :)
"However, nearly all the BBSes I spent time on actually dialed you back to verify the number you had given as part of the verification process."
This is why I had CID. Roboboard handled it just fine for my multi-node BBS.
Your answer was provided.
And so you know what equipment is used - https://i.imgur.com/wZ0cjjt.pn... in each and every location I have servers.
Come back when you actually do real global networking, boss. You're about 15 years behind me.
" remote office servers"
I mean, if you can't even think that particular statement through, you shouldn't even be in IT, son.
As in, GLOBAL REMOTE. When you run a remote virtual office company, you need fucking BANDWIDTH, son.
Son, you act as if any of this would stop me or any of my friends that live in your area from fucking you up.
Think a little harder, you brain-damaged fuckwit.
If I've got the balls to supposedly go after a District Attorney, what makes you think your tiny ass is LESS VULNERABLE?

My pinky could arm-wrestle your ass into the fucking ground, twink.
Should I start posting the pictures my pals have been taking of you AND YOUR FELLOW DRUG-ADDLED RESIDENTS?
They wouldn't have to, they can put that page inside a capsule served from their side, with the notice inside that capsule.
Doesn't matter if you're encrypted. They serve you the encrypted page inside of another unencrypted page screaming at you to pay your bill.
But to you, it looks like they directly modified the page.

Pluto? Just shy of one watt per square meter. We've got microwatt computers. Again, make your shit efficient.

15K miles per year is pretty close to average when taking age grouping into account.
Utensils are macro-scale copper, not nano-scale.
Looking at the can of spray-on electroplating compound I have, it explicitly says "These nano-particles of metal can cause respiratory damage. Always wear proper respiratory gear and use this product in a well-ventilated area."
The gaming system will only work for about a year or two, then suddenly support gets dropped without warning, all the servers go offline, and everyone's left with a useless hunk of hardware.
Which means they'll never have me buying one.
"Sure ethanol is carbon neutral"
You must not do any fermentation, do you? You release CO2 into the air as a matter of organic process generating ethanol via biological means.
