That's the advice from the TSA, just after they tell you that they'll break your bag open if they want to. They're kind of biased in what their advice is based on.
Putting your home address there goes against all the advice that I've ever heard. If a baggage handler steals your bag, they now know when your house is going to be empty. That said, I do put in my hotel details, mobile number and my work address because that way I can still be contacted.
I also take a photo of the suitcase on my phone - trying to describe your bag to a foreign lost luggage attendant is much easier that way!
Getting to the moon needs 300 year old maths, good seals, some stuff that burns really hot really quickly and some decent materials. And the task had an entire national agency working on it for almost ten years.
I'm not surprised that a decent ebook reader is harder.
Then you've got a "hidden factory" doing the reprocessing/removal. In something like a lego block that's not really a problem, but in a real plant I know of (which I am not going to divulge) there is a 4% reject rate of product. This is what happens when you let chemists run it instead of employing chemical engineers though!
Wrong. It's up to the retailer. And you don't have to accept Scottish notes in change in England or Wales either. Most shops of course won't refuse it as long as they know it is genuine. From the BoE website:
Are Scottish & Northern Irish notes legal tender?
In short 'No' these notes are not legal tender; only Bank of England notes are legal tender but only in England and Wales.
The term legal tender does not in itself govern the acceptability of banknotes in transactions. Whether or not notes have legal tender status, their acceptability as a means of payment is essentially a matter for agreement between the parties involved. Legal tender has a very narrow technical meaning in relation to the settlement of debt. If a debtor pays in legal tender the exact amount he owes under the terms of a contract, he has good defence in law if he is subsequently sued for non-payment of the debt. In ordinary everyday transactions, the term 'legal tender' has very little practical application.
You don't seal them up. You install a flow meter and a flue gas analyser in the stack. Then you ensure that there is an approved calibration method with signed records of the tests.
Annually, you get a government licensed third party such as Det Norske Veritas or BSI to read through your emission records and check the calibrations. This is then compared to your baseline targets for the year, with penalties applied if the emissions exceed the targets either over the year as a whole or for spikes that go over a set short-term limit. And you make it a requirement for plant management to inform the government in advance if they anticipate exceeding the limits.
This involves one more control window for operators to monitor, about half a day per month of an engineer's time, a couple of days per year of an instrument technician for calibration, and about 5 days per year of engineer & accountant time to prepare for the audit.
Who says it would want to replicate at an unsustainable rate? Just as people are choosing not to have children because of the competing demand for resources that is inherent, unless AI developed emotions I really don't think that would happen.
This isn't the only research on the subject at the moment. From The Chemical Engineer magazine:
HUI Tong Chua, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Western Australia (UWA), believes he has cracked the problem of how to break up methane into its constituent components of hydrogen and carbon without creating carbon dioxide - which, while much less potent than methane, is still an important greenhouse gas.
The process, which is currently under consideration for the UWA "Inventor of the Year" award, could make a significant contribution to the development of a "hydrogen economy" fuelled by abundant natural gas reserves, allowing people to exploit these fossil fuels without contributing to global warming, Chua says.
"It is actually a very simple process. What is required firstly is heat - about 800 C - and a catalyst, and then you can easily convert the natural gas into hydrogen and carbon." He adds that to make the process work, he and his collaborator Lizhen Gao, a lecturer in the same mechanical engineering department, had to find a catalyst with a long lifespan and a high conversion efficiency. He claims success: "We have achieved 65% conversion efficiency rate from methane into hydrogen over five days' uninterrupted operation."
The inventors are now trying to determine whether their reactor could also be used for other forms of methane, such as biomethane from agriculture or coal seam gas, which is found in considerable concentration in many mines.
Chua and Gao recently received a grant from the Australian Research Council to build a prototype reactor to test their process, and hope to advance to pilot plant stage within two years.
It is specifically legal for any country to prosecute anyone for war crimes they may have committed anywhere. You don't even have the protection of double jeopardy if the country believes that an original trial was corrupt.

At 1000C it's likely to be nitrogen coming out. It's got to be hotter to form significant amounts of NOx.
Ben & Jerry's is now owned by Unilever. I think share price / management concerns are no longer an issue there either.
