It gets worse if you do an energy balance:
According to the DOE (Table 1), municipal waste contains less than 12e6 BTU/Ton, so your 100 TPD waste stream will contain 1.2 E9 BTU tops.

Disregarding electrical output:

Naptha; 1,240 Gal @118700 BTU/Gal = 1.47E8 BTU
Kerosene: 3400 Gal @134000 BTU/Gal = 4.56E8 BTU
Diesel: 6900 Gal @129500 BTU/Gal = 8.94E8 BTU
Fuel Oil: 3000 Gal @145000 BTU/Gal = 4.35E8 BTU
Total Output: 1.93E9 BTU

So, either they have some energy input they're not telling us about, or it's a scam.

Is that due to the keyboard's mechanics, or simply to the fact that you know that everyone in your office can tell when you're slacking because they can't hear the loud clicks?

FWIW, I share the Model M fetish, typing on a Unicomp now. Thrift stores can be a good source of cheap Model Ms as well.

Bing maps has street view now too, on its beta version. It has a lot less coverage than Google's at this time.

The beta version uses Silverlight, and it doesn't seem to like moonlight, so at least you're safe from the prying eyes of linux users.

FWIW, I'm glad you're not a developer anymore, too!

And South Korea did so a year earlier.

Maybe with EU on board we'll see handsets for the US market meeting the standard without having to wait forever while the US carriers get their shit together.

Theta Sigma, IIRC.

I can't hear you!

Wouldn't that be a mebibotnet.

Mebibotnet, Mebibotnet... Now that just rolls off the tongue!

This episode which you are referring to is here.

Inside Adobe Reader (version 8 at least) under Tools|Preferences|Internet uncheck "Display PDF in browser" in the "Web Browser Options" group.

It's not obvious, but if you hold down the control key while mousing text is selected and automatically copied to the clip board.

Once you get used to it this is actually quite convenient.

It's not really a deal-breaker for me, as long as the DRM eBook purchase price was discounted enough to make up for it. I'm not seeing that now.

IMO, that point would be about 1/3 to 1/2 of the paperback price.

Don't forget that when you buy a Kindle book you cannot lend, sell, or give it away. If you purchase an interesting book for your Kindle and your wife wants to read it, she'll have to buy her own copy or borrow your entire Kindle.

Seems to me that this severely reduces the value of eBooks, so they should really cost about 1/3 - 1/2 of the paperback price to make up for it.

No, that's just your sneakers in there.
