The rules of thumb are constantly changing. The biggest reason for that is that the latency of disk access (relative to the latency of memory access) keeps increasing. Disks used to be able to keep up with CPUs, so to speak. Swapping to disk was once a principal motivator for virtual memory. Now the principal motivator is the limitations of 32 bit addressing, with separate protection domains a close second.
DJs were the developers of the 1950s. They did something like this, with record companies in the role of Microsoft. Back then it was called "payola", and a number of laws were passed to prevent it. That seems quite unlikely now.
I don't think you've got the concept of IP (Imaginary Property) down yet. In IP, if you can conceive of it, you can claim that it is yours.
All this imaginary property reminds me of an old Chinese proverb: With one monkey in the road, 10,000 men cannot pass. Someone please shoot the monkey.
Next time you see someone working an 18 hour day, remember to kick them in the crotch. I would suggest killing them, but they'll be dead soon enough that it's not worth the hard time.
I'd lay dollars to donuts that he's done one hell of a lot more science than you will ever do. It's got to hurt to be called a nutbar by someone named "TwistedGreen".
Hagelstein is very well qualified to address lattice interactions and phonon exchange, which is the best candidate for a physical explanation of the rates of fusion in palladium-absorbed deuterium.
Just check his background if you are dubious: http://rleweb.mit.edu/rlestaff/p-hage.htm.
You would have to pump a *lot* of deuterium through a palladium cell at quite a high efficiency for quite a long time in order to pay for the mass of palladium. While it has been obvious to me that cold fusion was real, on the basis of the published papers, since 1990, it seems equally obvious that it is not a sufficient basis for a commercially viable power technology, without substantial further innovation.
Leave alone the cost of palladium, which is probably going to exceed that of gold in the near future, any effect that is so sensitive to uncontrolled conditions as to allow the James Randis of the world this much freedom to make fools of themselves is not likely to be commercially useful except in the construction of magic eightball devices.
In Rwanda, they had ID cards marked "Tutsi" and "Hutu". When gangs of men with machetes came to rape and kill, they'd check your card and decide how many limbs to hack off on that basis.
In Germany, they used biometrics too. If your genome was Romani or Jewish, for example, you would probably end up in an oven.
In the People's Republic of China, they have inalienable identity cards too. If your parents were slave farmers, you will be a slave farmer too, and so will your descendents in perpetuity. In this way, the CCP prevents others from competing with their offspring for economic and social privilege.
There's plenty of *good* Christian music. John Coltrane is the pinacle of Christian jazz, in my view. Waterdeep did great alt-rock. I think they are still around. Sufjan Stevens rocks my world right now.
Combining a volume manager like vinum with RAID gets you where you want to be (ignoring for the moment the issue of disaster recovery which implies geographic distribution, and which might be discounted on the basis that it is infeasible to support or manage, for almost all end users). That is, with vinum and RAID you can grow your RAID array as drive capacities increase. It is unlimited reliable storage, and hence should render backup obsolete. However, data still seems to grow to fill the available space. I don't know what order of magnitude will put an end to that constant inflation. Terabytes? Petabytes?
Another problem with RAID+Vinum is that desktops are obsolete, and laptops don't do RAID. Not even RAID-1. Do you know of any laptops with dual hard-drives? I would dearly love to buy one!

More than one palladium cell has melted down due to excess energy. Problem is, the effect is so erratic, and palladium costs about as much as gold.

The neutrons are in the nuclei of 4He being
produced by fusion.
D + D => 4He + g@24MeV
Since they were right, you're making yourself look like a fool.
It does. It's called TECO.

64-bit floating point which is perfectly conformant

real arithematic, but it is well-defined.
