The 2 largest expenses for many areas is police and fire. Without those two services your ability to own property is dubious anyway (any person or group stronger than you would take it or destroy it).

When doing a web search with that combination you always get Ubuntu advice for that specific version.

Fukushima taught me that Japanese Nuclear reactors may be too protected.

19,300 people died as a result of the tsunami. Fukushima has had minimal impact by comparison (573 related deaths thus far).

Diverting all of the safety protections away from the reactors (guaranteeing full meltdown of all 4) to add to safety protections around shoreline towns, oil refineries, chemical factories, could have saved thousands of lives reducing the 19,300 total.

It wouldn't hurt to teach the basics of electrical work and plumbing in grade 7/8.

My school taught wood working, metal working (welding, folding, etc.), cooking, sewing, etc. in Grade 7/8. I've found those skills to be more useful as a software developer than a large number of things we were taught in math.

Call to cancel your Rogers service (mean it, be familiar with Teksavvy or other alternatives) and you may find you get offered a 30% discount and elimination of the modem rental fee.

In Japan the opposite was happening just as frequently. The endangered accidentally caught fish was being sold as a commonly available fish.

You can pull oil straight out of the air if you have an unlimited supply of cheap electricity; and it's very low pollution that way too.

Oil is a battery. We're just bypassing the production step at the moment.

How many CD, DVD, etc. drives are disposed of due to laser failure? Small percentage I would think.

Speed on spinning disk is a function of density as much as anything else.

The tighter you pack the bits, the more bits pass under the head in a given time frame, which makes it faster.

My diagrams include a cloud around my clouds. Supercloud for the win.

There are slightly more than 90 million android device owners.

Still has to be less than transporting waste paper, recycling (large cities will have multiple plants; unprinters may mean fewer plants), transporting to a store, then delivery to the office.

[b]we could alter the contract *after* we signed it.[/b]

This is done now. Take page 23 from the final copy with signatures and a modified page 21 from an earlier copy when you submit it to the judge.

Having watched this, I've become much better at ensuring my files are complete and keep offsite copies when warranted.

Careful with that. It might show up at court.

I've wondered what spinning disk could do in a vacuum chamber and with a non-contact magnetic bearing.
