This is why I do NOT believe in FUD spread about Global Warming.
If it was really a problem; the President Barack Obama abandoned the project.

How common are datacenter fires? The last time I heard about a computer catching fire was more than 20 years ago, and the fire was minor and didn't spread to adjacent equipment. They seem to be putting a lot of effort and expense into solving a "problem" that has already be adequately solved.
Other than fire suppression, is there any other practical advantage to locating a datacenter underground?
I would guess that they could NOT figure out a cheap and safe way to supply good air to breath down that deep. So, they decided to go low oxygen environment. Tim S.

Airbus seems to think pilots are stupid.
But, in their defense there does seem to have been a lot of Airbus accidents caused by pilot error.
So, either Airbus pilots are more stupid or their training is really bad.

So you see nothing wrong with a professor using his status to obtain sexual favors?
How can there be any thing wrong with it.
An Professor to student power differential is much less than the President and a college intern differential.
And, we all were told that that one did not matter at all.

Submission + - Does Thinking Science Make People More Ethical?
alysion writes: "Per research published in the online journal PLOS One, psychologists Christine Ma-Kellams of Harvard University and Jim Blascovich of the University of California, Santa Barbara report, "Thinking about science leads individuals to endorse more stringent moral norms." Salon.com covered the story. In one of the four supporting experiments, undergraduates considered an account of a date rape and were asked to judge behavior on a scale of 1 to 100. Science types, perhaps not surprisingly, proved to have a better grasp of reality, including the moral kind."

I guess this was the UK radiation release I read about around 1980 (doing High School project) and not Chernobyl release that cause the sheep farms problem.
That High School project was why I knew the reports was full of it when they talked about TMI.

The problem is technically we can not build an Saturn V; the project was not documented well enough on what was done and for what reason. To much knowledge was only in people heads and never written down in one single place.

I read a book that had a dragon down a jet fighter and no one, who saw the recordings, was willing to admit it was a dragon. They "digitize it" and then told the computer operator to do about a dozen different changes to adjust the image till it looked like a jet aircraft.
