Was that the wooosh of falling into the net?

Stopping is easy - splat !
Stopping GENTLY is harder.

"So in an excerpt from his new book, Driscoll describes"

So, this is just an advert for his new book.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , the MARSIS instrument on the satellite is running EONIC Virtuoso.

Then who does Captain Picard ask for scientific advice?

Actually, the idea is even older than that.
Win98 had Active Desktop (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) - which let you put HTML in all sorts of places in your desktop and folders.
Not many people liked it though.

Landfill.
They still give off methane but slightly less than live ones and it decreases with time.
Don't plant crops above them - it leaves a bitter aftertaste in most fruit crops.

Quenda was commenting on the single state Western Australia - not all of Australia.
Here in WA we locked down tight.
We also took a lot of flak from the other states about "Fortress WA".
But we also had far fewer cases than the rest of Australia.

It's gonna take a while to get that image out of my head :(

The DLL Hell that I experienced the most was for comms drivers.
I'd buy a nice shiny new high speed serial port baud that can work faster than the default Windows drivers support.
The manufacturer provided some new drivers that support the higher baud rates, so we install them.

Then the next update to Windows provides new drivers that provide some new features that some comms programs want but still don't support the new baud rates that I want.

Now I get the choice of drivers without the new features or drivers without the high baud rates.
Neither of these choices can be tied to the program that I am using because I could be using multiple comms programs that may be using new comm ports or the old default comm ports - eg terminal emulators, downloaders, SLIP, PPP, etc.

Another interpretation is that she asked him permission but that the actual position of the tracker was (by agreement) secret.

Christopher Reeve or George Reeve ?

How many US libraries of Congress will this boil ?

I'm in Western Australia and I'm not authorised to see it either.
Probably have to be a subscriber to see it.
Note that they used the "authorized spelling instead of using Australian English - probably generated by the underlying webserver code but still .

Agreed.
For steel/glass/etc, the manufacturer pays ALL the costs in creating, filling, distributing, reclaiming, cleaning the heavy containers.
For plastic, the manufacturer pays the much lesser costs of creating with a cheaper product, distributing a lighter product and none of the environmental clean-up costs.
Society is left to pay for environmental damage and health care costs (due to micro plastics in the ecosystem).
Win-win for the manufacturer.

But your plan has some hurdles:

The manufacturers have plenty of money for lobbying against an such tax.
The will happily spend millions lobbying in order to avoid paying billions in costs.
Again this we have environmental impact groups who the manufacturers will portray as the lunatic fringe.

Also, plastic is just so convenient to the customer - (lighter and comes in nice shapes).

Customers will also resist the increase in price at the checkout.
They are paying tax dollars to clean the environment but they won't see that when buying the family groceries.
Upfront costs always get more attention than backend costs.
