    people thought the transistor was a perpetual motion machine.

    So, it it seems like a perpetual motion machine, it's because you are clueless, or they are lying.

    Shame there isn't some article about it to find out who is wrong..

    Let me know when you get an 80% efficient solar cell.

    If you change 'white hot' to 'white', then yes. In fact we have them now. Sadly they don't last too long; fortunately they are rechargeable see:"Glow in the dark"

    A) you would just need 40% efficient panels.

    B) taking heat out of the atmosphere would be fine.

    Of course, if we could get 40% efficient panels, that would be a world class break through.

    SO tired fof the crapped 'Science fiction' prophet crap.

    You have hundreds of people doing 'scientific' stuff, and some happen to turn out to be the way it's now. Big deal.

    Setting aside the fact that most 'prophetic' example are really no more then a bad attempt to give an author more 'cred'.

    What does 'fun a parties' have to do with it. This was his work, where logic and order make his job easier, and leaves time for parties.

    "you people that want strict functional naming schemes are missing the point. "
    No, you are issing the point. Logic and order make work easier.

    " Names are supposed to be for humans. "
    And, the servers have names.
    " function/number-location.domainname."
    In fact, they seem to have a logical and properly identifiable names.

    "if you can't say your server name 3 times fast, then you are hindering the humans that have to talk about that server on a daily basis."
    THAT's the metric? That's better then Oracle_1_DB.Apps ?
    Hey, server bob is down
    What functionality is that?
    I have to look it up
    What systems are impacted?
    I have to look it up
    What customers will management need to call?
    I have to look it up.

    Sure, cute fun names are fun, and a way to show of your geek penis side, but once you start having 30 server, 50 servers? 100 servers? it's impractical, wasteful and a fucking nightmare.

    What they did was too much. That said:

    They should keep an eye out for behavior that indicates bullying. Parents should be contacted,and a discussion should happen regarding why she said what she said.
    Bullying is an indicator of other issue as well.
    Of course it depends on history and extremes, there is never a one size fits all solution.
