One of the first internet portals called I'won has been paying customers to surf over ten years. They have periodic lotteries for prizes. You increase you chances by looking at more parts of the site as often as possible.
The so-called hockey stick - a temperature "spike" of a half degree at the end of the 20th dentury happened to be a statistical error in the data analysis program. The program de-averaged (found baseline) of different temperature datasets incorrectly, magnifying the effect of a new 1990s dataset. The warmest years in the 20th century were the 1930s, not the 1990s.
P.S. Other data probably points to global warming, but this most-touted example is incorrect.
Star Wars has a weak backstory compared to other world-builders like Frank Herbert, John Tolkein, and Gene Roddenberry. With a deep world you feel like you are just seeing the tip of an iceberg.
Google probably ranks as the largest data energy user, having by far the largest number of data centers and nodes (approaching 3 million). On the other hand they've almost always paid attention to energy costs (except for their bad, bad, white home page), building custom low-energy custom servers. They probaly also have the lowest per petabyte energy consumption of large data centers.
Even with online ticket purchasing and five screens per complex, people still occasionally line up for hot movies. I recall the last Harry Potter opening midnight shows being the most recent.
The dark energy hypothesis is that galaxies appear further away than expected with linear expansion. Expansion seems to be accelerating then, driven by some massive unknown repulsive force called "dark energy". But if there is an alternative explanation why stars appear too dim, then dark energy may not be needed.
The Beidou system returns time after after a query from a terminal. They can only handle so many requests a minute. On the other hand US and Euro system continually broadcast time and location information.
A high-performance automobile still uses lots of energy whether it is petroleum or coal-generated electricity. The ultimate green strategy is moderation. The rich peoel can play with expensive toys and continue as green-hypocrites.
They may be one of the largest CO2 emitters in the IT industry (and maybe outside of it) due to their huge server farm. Yet they've always stove keep power costs low and green too through custom, innovative sever design. Google probably has the lowest carbon footprint per petabyte.
An article a few days ago described homebrew ethanol. I'm not sure it is as efficient or high-quality as factory ethanol. Also sugar price is highly subsidized in US. A run on sugar might turn out the like current rice shortage.
People would call for help too late and get into more trouble may SAR personal contend.
In Colorado costs are generally only levied when the SAR is associated with a crime. Most often this deliberate trespassing into a narked dangerous area.
Unlike the Web which started out rather clunky, the Gutenburg starting printing at a very high level. Gutenburg spent decades perfecting his machine in secrecy.
Nation Information Infrastructure (information superhway) bill passed in Dec 1991. It bought some optical fiber backbones, encouraged adoption of standards. In the 1980s the "net" was rag-tag collection of suibnets- arpatnet, milnet, NSFnet, BITnet, dialup bboards- etc.
I got depressed a bit after every graduation. I evaluated myself on my academic prowess and graduation was the end of a stage. Fortunately there was soemthing new around the corner. I wonder if other nerds experienced this?
My cell phone has more memory and is faster than the original Cray supercomputer.
The fastest computer is 1/2 petaflop.
A supercomputer then is anything above 50 teraflops.

Cant wait until they perfect cloning.

He was selling some device that could tag and find things in the home. It was more like car-key radios than RFID with a longer range.
Good looking, rich, smart, funny, athletic ...

I was talking about the entire mission, not the disk.
They tracket the perps in several locations with their deadly backpacks.
Many of the results were telemetried before the crash.
Both companies have lots of angry shareholders according to the news.
Virtual everything around here is being stolen for scrap metal value: irrigation pipes, public statutes, road rails, roof flashing, etc.

I'll be dead by then.
Some of the most popular textboooks have been scanned onto the web already. But this doesnt cover many of them.
