Unless they're going to buy the books back, student bookstores aren't going anywhere. Gotta do something with those $4-15k/yearly in books after you're done using them...and getting $250 back.

You mean in chip fabbing, where they still use recycled freon? Because it's the only thing that really works. I'm really surprised that the entire fab process hasn't moved out of the area.
Alerting you to login attempts from new locations or devices, and offer two-factor authentication, will slow down the hackers for a time.
But the answer, for most service providers, is to tell the user that it's their problem now.
It would never work for programmers or secretaries. Both groups rely heavily on punctuation, symbols, and formatting.
I'm guessing you've never taken a test where error-free wpm is a requirement, if you did then you'd know that punctuation, symbols, and formatting exactly are required in order to either get hired, or pass as a pre-screening requirement. The last one I did(about 5 years ago) required 118wpm error free, with perfect duplication of formatting. I've seen them hit as high as 125 on your qwerty keyboard, and 145 for dvorak.
It's not a very good pun.
A good pun would present, on the surface, a deeper knowledge of the (admittedly complex) material.
Consider yourself lucky, then - SMS spam seems to be pretty common here in the UK. Even my parents occasionally get hit.
I've been fortunate so far - I don't have any fellow iPhone users that I regularly communicate with via said device. I've now turned off iMessage, so hopefully all texts should go out as SMS.
My personal bugbear with my iPhone is the number of steps required to block a number from Messages. As I use my mobile number as a contact for business, my number is public, and as a result I've started getting SMS spam and telemarketer calls. You would think that Apple, of all people, would make it easier to tell the iPhone "block this number from calling me again."
There is no algae that eats oil.
Maybe no algae, but plenty of bacteria do.
Anyway, don't discount the number of farmers in Canada who've done the same thing with manure, and screw up the lakes too. There was a farmer upstream of Pittock Dam, who used to do the same thing. Took the ministry of environment(MoE) in Ontario nearly 25 years to "get around" to finally fine the dumb bastard. Or as many people put it, "the dumb french bastard." Since dumping manure on frozen ground is very common in Quebec as well.
But who do you throw in jail? The employees who are directly responsible for their actions, or their boss in his office who approved the work to be done, or the CEO at the top who did not care about the ecological danger?
Since there's an on-going investigation into it, and residents heard a loud explosion before hand, many people are thinking out there that this was the work of eco-terrorists. This wouldn't be the first time either, my sister lives in sour gas alley in Alberta. Back 10 years ago, there was a guy going around trying to blow up sour gas wells(H2S). For those that haven't ever worked in the oil industry, sour gas is nasty stuff. If it floods a low level area, you're usually dead before you know it hits you.
And binoculars, for that matter.
It's only old people who get Alzheimer's. No loss there...
Unless of course you're so unfortunate to have early-onset. In which case it can start at the age of 15.
Think about it this way. Nuclear supports the status quo - centralized production via corporations. Solar and wind kill the cash cow.
Hardly, and they sure won't kill the "status quo" when FiT programs are paying $0.40-0.85/KwH for electricity from those sources. Welcome to Ontario, which followed Greece and we are now screaming towards the most expensive electricity in North America thanks to "green power." Even though nearly 70% of our electricity is generated by nuclear, less than 2% is wind or solar.
Oh and I'm sure someone will cry, but you don't have a nuclear generating station near you! Right, I've got one of the largest in the world 60 miles from where I'm sitting now.
Around where I live, this will be the first summer in 10-15 years where it hasn't been overcast, raining, or foggy. Gotta love the unpredictable weather of the great lakes. It's pretty much the same thing with seeing aurora's, people down as far south as Atlanta will see it, but everyone in the great lakes area you can bet will have overcast skies with a chance of thunderstorms, snow, or it simply being overcast.
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
