The biggest thing beer brought to the table? It was made by BOILING something in water... In those days, a drink of water was an insane gamble due to things like E. coli, cholera, dysentery, and the many other gifts of raw sewage and runoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterborne_diseases
Somehow, this reminds me of that time that someone fed industrial spies fake capacitor formulas leading to that epidemic of bad capacitors some years back.
Are Samsung engineers just bad at battery design, or was there something more in play here?
I remember dealing with this issue, it got heavy around 2000 and stayed alive for as long as I worked in PC repair. You had to check everything, video card, MoBo, PSU, and any other component with caps on it. I understood it to be a good job of industrial espionage followed by a bad job of industrial espionage... a copy and paste error was the explanation I heard at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague#Implications_of_industrial_espionage
In Michigan and Wisconsin, adultery is a felony. In other states it may be a misdemeanor. And yes I know cheating on a partner is not always equal to adultery... well maybe it is in North Carolina, where adultery is when two people "lewdly and lasciviously associate." http://www.freep.com/story/life/family/2014/04/17/in-which-states-is-cheating-on-your-spouse-illegal/28936155/ I do agree there are legitimate needs to hide some info. And you are spot on with your conclusion.
I wonder how much it cost to take all the radioactive parts from the ship and store them until they are no longer radioactive. I'm guessing that's quite a long time, as spent nuke fuel has a half life of 10,000 years.
What's the cost of just one night watchman for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 10,000 years? I hope that was included in the costs/benefits analysis.
To be fair, the costs drop considerably after civilization ends...
Hey now, don't be glum! The upside of this is that once Mozilla shakes those last "hanger on" users, they can turn out the lights and go home... Carbon Footprint reduction via corporate self euthanasia!
I don't know that I am comfortable with that. Should everyone who bought a copy of the Anarchist's cookbook expect a higher level of surveillance ?
I don't think so... But if you downloaded it illegally? Well, it might be bad policy to short an Anarchist's royalty check... Oh, don't mess with the Alchemists either...
Having and using Prime, I can't believe the number of items are shipped UPS but when you track it you find out they dropped it in the US Mail... Surely it would be cheaper for Amazon to just mail the item themselves. And when it comes to third party sellers shipping Prime items, all bets are off on how the thing will get to my home.
I do agree this is not a last resort thing for Amazon. They have many regional warehouses and if you are going to fly planes around you may as well fill them with restocking items as well as orders.
I also really hope they do the blimp and drone thing over big cities... I have this vision of ordering a package delivery drone and it flies itself down with just the controller in a box... used? No, pretested for airworthiness.
and in those days nothing warmed your soul like an attached VB script file and that string of text... Oh wait, it was pants that got warmed... Back then I think the ILOVEYOU was the message subject. But just seeing the two things together would freak most users out and light up the phone. Ahh, the good old days when attachments were the boogieman...
the orange powder resists degradation for over 100,000 years unless eaten.
It actually isn't degraded by eating either. You, and every other Cheeto eater are slowly filling up with orange powder. This situation will be recognized in about a decade and Cheeto dust will be proclaimed a revolutionary new state of matter.
OK, that explains what the person that cleans the bathroom is complaining about...

Orange you glad he didn't say "Commander in Cheeto"!
Let me guess, all you need is bleach, ammonia, a penny, and blowing bubbles in it with a soda straw to grow these amazing 'time crystals'?
You forgot the duct tape and paperclip for straw stabilization... also, for long term time crystal storage you'll want an empty cheetos bag, the orange powder resists degradation for over 100,000 years unless eaten.
