Warm water of a data center won't change the temperature of the ocean at all.
Not the whole ocean, but as I said, it could affect the local environment.
But any way, what is the other option?
Did I say they shouldn't put warm water in the ocean?
What should be done, in all circumstances, is a study on the environmental impact. Such a thing may find (for example) that the original design releases the water in a secluded shallow bay where there is little circulation. As you said, a simple fix would be to make a longer pipe and release the water in deeper water, where there are stronger currents.
Environmentalism is not about doing nothing because well everything affects the environment. It is doing the optimal thing based on scientific evidence.
Releasing warm water back into the ocean could disrupt the local environment. Every company should minimise impact on the environment where possible. That is the rational thing to do, not something only 'hysterical environmentalists' support.
For example, the area might be a breeding ground for fish. Should they impact the level of fish in the sea just so a data centre can reduce their power bill? It seems almost all of Norway's energy comes from hydro, so it isn't reducing greenhouse emissions.
This is why I hate IT support. Most people I have dealt with in IT don't really know anything about computers. They just read from a script/troubleshooter. Only once they realise it is beyond their 'expertise' will the problem get elevated to someone who actually knows what they are doing. Sometimes you will get people who know a little, but not enough, try to fix things and then cause critical services to break in the middle of the work day.
Also the company I currently work for has a very bloated IT department, even though all support and server stuff is contracted out. Even with all these people in IT, our IT infrastructure/support/service is terrible.
Ok. So despite what the article says, he is being charged for supplying equipment to undercover agents, and not for planning to fly a toy plane into a building.
They could... but if they bypass security, one pilot could do much more damage than otherwise. They could easily bring in bombs or guns or whatever, and distribute them to other non-pilot accomplices. Then they could target multiple planes in one incident.
AFAIK DGPS uses fixed nodes to broadcast error in the satellite signal, while this system used fixed nodes to act like satellites. So this system can work with zero signal from satellite.
The idea that we would build the 2nd tallest structure in the world for 200 MW is ridiculous.
How does that make it "ridiculous"? What does it matter how tall it is compared to a skyscraper? And what does it matter how much energy it produces "per power plant"? That is the most useless measure I've ever heard. What matters is how much it costs to build and maintain, per MW.
A high pressure system is where cold air falls to the surface and heats on the way down. A low pressure system is where hot air rises and cools on the way up. This tower is creating a small-scale low pressure system.
Is AO given to full on graphic sexual content? Because the R18+ rating in Australia would be mainly used for violent games, e.g. Mortal Kombat. Graphic sexual content in Australia gets a X rating.
or they'd suddenly wake up in a Chinese or Iranian prison?
How would they get to China or Iran in the first place...?
And, to the idiot who claimed that "hacking never hurt anyone", talk to the people who were put in harms way by WikiLeaks sloppy editing of stolen documents containing the names of people.
Specifically, which people are these? Provide a source that states someone was exposed and was in danger as a result.
And what are you talking about? What "hacking"? Wikileaks didn't hack anybody. Bradley Manning didn't hack anybody. Do you consider Manning copying documents from a server he had authorisation to as "hacking"? Or are you just completely uninformed and are spouting absolute bullshit?
The American election cycle is insane. Where I live (Australia), 'getting close' to the election is 3-6 months before it happens. In the US, things start happening over 1.5 years before the election... plus there's the mid-terms.
But most people here hate elections/politics. Unlike in America where politics has permeated to the core of who people are and therefore are very passionate/emotional about it (probably because of wedge issues like abortion). The only people passionate about politics here are politicians and wannabe politicians.
I hate to break it to you, but when if recipe says use "10 mL of oil", you are just going to pour straight from the bottle into the pan with your thumb over the opening. You aren't going to get out a measuring cylinder... And in metric, a cup is 250 mL, so we still put in "cups" of flour.

Those are diagnostic criteria from the DSM IV, which is the standard diagnostic manual for psychiatrists in North America.
I see lots of quotes pulled from Wikipedia, none of which back up your original very broad, very unscientific claim.
You just can't admit you're wrong hey?
Pot. Kettle. Black.
So no, I didn't make it up.

There's a bit of rain and storms in northern Australia currently. They might be off to a slow start...
Psychopathy is an illness
That requires a citation.
A general criteria for a mental disease is that it has a strong negative effect on your life or someone else's.
Really? That "criteria" sounds like you just came up with it. Define strong. Define negative.
And this guy I know is a real dick, does he have a mental disease? He has a "strong negative effect" on everyone he meets.
Why did you put Marx and Lenin in with those others...?
Ok. So despite what the article says, he is being charged for supplying equipment to undercover agents, and not for planning to fly a toy plane into a building.
arrested and charged Wednesday with plotting an attack on the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol
was charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to al Qaeda for attacks on U.S. soldiers overseas
There is no information to indicate he was connected to a foreign terrorist organization.
Huh? How does the charge relate to the act?
Of course, when the King James Bible was being written, that WAS prose.
What does King James have to do with the Dead Sea Scrolls? And as someone else pointed out, people didn't speak like that 500 years ago...

That isn't a Hollywood/studio movie, it is an independent movie that cost $400,000 to make.
Even successful directors/writers in Hollywood are having trouble getting original/unconventional movies made.

Since when is cooking a steak well done cooking it "properly"?
I define "properly" as high heat, 3-4 minutes each side, for a sirloin cut.
or they'd suddenly wake up in a Chinese or Iranian prison?

There are reflective PV solar panels? I thought they would all be black matte, considering this absorbs the most light.
In fact I think that any book which did deserve that praise wouldn't be part of the science-fiction genre
So if a SF book is beautiful/artistic, it no longer becomes SF? What a stupid way to look at it.

they should better be compared to these people which were pointing jude families to the NASI during WW2...
I'm hoping this guy is joking.
