The question is what would they do for air? Remember producing enough breathabler air was a flop for Biosphere2.

Craft but not people.

Unless they were eating rocks.

The RK-9000 is a mechanical keyboard made by Rosewill which is the inhouse manufacturer for NewEgg. What does a keyboard have to do with anything?

You cannot find a more "green" keyboard then a mechanical keyboard. Each keyswitch is rated at 50 milliion keypresses. If a letter foes buy a new keyswitch. ( Though I would buy a whole bunch of them ).Desolder the old switch solder in the new. My miniUSB port just broke and I wil be soldering in a new one as soon as it arrives. If the controller goes I can get a new one. I can probably get a new PCB if I have to. They are made to last and when any part breaks, it can be repaired or replaced.

So why are they banned in Illinois. Thanks to our idiot of a governor. ( Second only to Gov Moonbeam ). He created a law regulating e-waste. The law says that for a manufacturer to sell their product, they have to register and certify that they recycle a certain amount of their products. [1] So for this reason, instead of being able to buy a long lasting green keyboard, you have to buy a cheap will fall apart soon keyboard.

More and more the wacked out conservationalists ae acting like this,.

[1] In fact when you sto[p and think about it, many electronics products can last forever,so companies may never even get the chance to recycle a large percentage.

IOW the GPL is the superior license over the BSD type licenses.

Actually Apple was avoiding GPL stuff before 3.

Well from what I am hearing about the results at the Bundy ranch ( which are admittedly very unclear ATM, I can only go on what the news tells me ). Yes it can.
Though I am sure the original poster is one of those who would not classify the Bundys as "more equal" then others.

The Chicken Littles are once again frustrated that no one believes them so they squawk even louder

I think if you broke the law-- and he can't argue you broke the law unless you are convicted-- then getting an F is the least of your worries.

meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Incorrect they found that the only venues for a crime are locations where essential elements occur. In the case of the parts of the CFAA violated that would either be the location of the hacker at the time of the hacking, or the location of the hacked machine at the time of the hacking.

You think this could have been said some thirty years ago?

Actually, I do remember on a Charlie ROse show, Charles Murray said something like: "Not very many people with 80 IQs can be successful mathematicians." [1]. He then went on to say, "Fortunately most people with 80 IQs don't want to be mathematicians."

Of course everyone was trashing Murray at the time.

[1] Not to conflate coal miners with people with 80 IQs.

And not propylene glycol?

Well it means that University investments will not go towards fossil fuels, but why were they investing in fossil feuls in the first place?
Oh wait. It must be because fossil fuels were the most lucrative alternative. So invest in the second most lucrative investment. The University will just make less money. It just means their endowment will be smaller. Which just means that their budget will be smaller.
'
Nowadays, Universities don't have many alternatives to compensate for smaller budgets, but they do have one major place they traditionally look to to, tuitions.

Except:

So really raising tuition is not a good idea.

I know! They can simply cut faculty pay!

I'm so glad that 100 faculty are volunteering to have their pay cut.

Was this an old feature, or a relatively now one.
If so how did it make it into distros without being extremely vetted. Given that openSSL is one of the core parts of security?
