if it consumes 1800mW at 110V, that's 16mA of current. at 220V, expect it to draw 8.5mA of current and to also dissipate roughly 1800mW. and they gave you a geek license?

If you have enough energy available, you can run a refrigerator to cool the earth and dissipate excess heat into space as EM. It's not a closed system.

If they've got enough money to burn on barratry, the only opinion that really matters is that of the man paying the lawyers, because it is not difficult to ruin someone using the court system, if you have the veeriest shred of a pretext in law, and an overwhelming warchest.
Most deforestation in the third world is the result of industrial-scale agriculture, generally cattle ranching, logging, or soya production. Significant per-capita deforestation results from slash-and-burn agriculture, but the practice is rapidly waning due to urbanization.
I know that our farmhouse was sustainably heated using less than 20 acres of standing forest, as a child. It took ten to twenty cords of wood, however, during the 1970s and 80s in northern Minnesota, to heat a 19th century 4 bedroom two-story farmhouse with a basement, depending on the winter.
And a Linux rack is a small, redundant, recoverable server capable of running critical applications and handling a very large volume of data, at a tiny fraction of the cost of your mainframe.
Those airlines and banks use mainframes because they have applications in the can that only run on those mainframes, and when those applications run on a rack of commodity servers, they'll drop those money pits on the secondary market with glee.

No. I've been a professional system administrator for varying large and small numbers of unix-related systems intermittently for 15 years, but I haven't set foot in a datacenter since 1991.

Probably radio-controlled autonomous flying decapitators, since military uses always get priority. And you'll see them when you try to establish self-government in an oil-producing region. Lots of them. Flying about neck-high.
It does seem increasingly as though the feral government of the U.S. is not intent only on asserting total power over all of the people in the world (not just the U.S.), including the right to kill anyone at any time, but also want to make sure that we know it. It's like a Mafia thing, where it's not sufficient just to kill a competitor and all of his allies, you have to sleep with his wife as well, or the job isn't done.
When a large number of intelligent people with practical experience conclude that a given tool is superior to another given tool, it's a good idea to check it out.
PHP is very accessible, and that's a great strength. But any time you start talking about "frameworks", you're well outside the user base that is best served by accessible.
Having said that, there are a lot of big PHP projects doing good service in the real world. It might not be the place to start new development, but integrating it into new development is going to be important for years to come. I'd be particularly interested to hear of good experiences integrating existing PHP apps with RoR development.
You might also add that Echo2 is AJAX down to the core. You write your application in Java that runs on the server, and it is displayed in the client browser using dynamic HTML with XMLHttp being the display transport protocol.

No, but learning to skip class and get stoned behind the stadium is.

So, are you a tax cheat, or just a counterfeiter?

One word: Java.
It runs on Linux, Windows, OSX.
If true, and if CALEA applies, I guess they've given up on the "don't be evil" plan.
Is that Welsh for "search"?
Oh great. Yet another verb to learn.
"Why don't you ahjfgdf that and report, Perkins?"

"If you like what you see, why don't you ahjfghf her some time?"

By that reasoning you should also doubt that if the radar wave was reflected, it would emit a measurable amount of energy.

Naive idealists get things done. Cynical nihilists accomplish either (1) nothing but getting drunk and falling down, or (2) incredible evil.
Anything we can do to encourage the naive idealists, and discourage the cynical nihilists is beneficial to all.
And of course QoS. The most useful things are not always the most innovative. Not even often.
I suggest the Echo2 website:
http://www.nextapp.com/products/echo2/
It's sweet, an Open Source framework for developing client-server apps with the display in dynamic html using XMLHttp as a transport.
You might also add that Echo2 is AJAX down to the core. You write your application in Java that runs on the server, and it is displayed in the client browser using dynamic HTML with XMLHttp being the display transport protocol.
