Most are protected with breakers. The last CME that did anything (in canada) only damaged 1 out of many large transformers. No powerstations where damaged and only one of many big transformers was damaged. The rest where protected with breakers that functioned properly. Even a once in a 100 years event will not take out "all" or even close to half the power stations. Some smaller transformers, and the odd faulty larger transformer will be affected. This will be disruptive, but not nearly as much as the sensationalists want it to be.
You are making the false assumption that none of these thing would have happened without NASA or a space program. This is clearly false. In fact most of your list was never driven by the space programs needs, but rather terrestrial needs, and wasn't even developed by NASA.
I done this in my laptop bag with carry one. I often fly only with carry on. I usually get to look at the screen too. Its looks really cool, and completely confusing. However they don't seem to care.
I have often said that pirates don't really cost a game much in terms of real money. But cheating does. It completly ruins the online game. Diabilo was destroyed by cheating.
To prevent cheating you must have a response after detection. If that response means the offender can just to log back in under a different name, it won't work. Bans are about the only thing that will work. And even then i have had direct experience with some people who repeatably by the game each time they are banned and still cheat.
And that is *exactly* what the all the other traders are doing. Running computerized systems doing things like stuffing and canceling etc for their own gain. But why is that they are not sued? They are the sanctioned ones.
You can't have this much perfect trading without "working how the computerized systems would react to certain trading patterns" for their own gain.
But between this, and other exclusive rights (ie naked short selling etc) to "special" status traders that makes this and other parts of the financial sector a farce.
As for liquidity and spreed. 1 second trades would achieve both just as good as the current system as far as the over all market is concerned. Perhaps not for the 100us traders thou.
But if the wrong person provides that "liquidity", they get sued.
Its a sham plain and simple. So BS about liquidity would mean the rules would the same for everyone. But the rules clearly are not,
as this post also points out.
Liquidity measured in microseconds no less. You know I just don't know what I would do, if after talking to my broker (yea old school), or just selling online, if it would take 1 sec rather than 130ms.
I mean sheesh, think of the interest I could earn in 870ms.
In fact why do we have 90day bank bills. What about some 90msec ones?
Check out the 3 body problem. Turns out that the only way you get long life orbit is if its orbiting just one star close enough that gravity is more or less dominated by that single object. ie to good approximation, its orbiting just one star.
For a "stable" barycenter orbit, it would have to be very far away from the stars relative to the stars own separation. IIRC even then stable orbits are problematic for the scales we are talking about.
At work: 55 Linux desktop boxes. 2 macs. Another 20 laptops with Linux, 10 with windows about 15 or so mac laptops. This is all just desktop/laptop machines of course. All the servers are sun or Linux. At home I have 3 machines, all Linux (slackware) and right now my daughter is doing her homework on one of them.
The "year of the Linux desktop" may never come. And quite frankly i don't give a dam. I want a system that isn't a "do as your told" mac or a "your trial subscription to Norton antivirus has run out" comes with nothing windows. I want a system where i can get my work done. And for me that is Linux.
And its not just our group, there are many more like this.
You know I have not noticed this. I only see a slowdown when a big copy is taking place if the other app needed a lot of IO as well. Otherwise I don't notice that I am copying several 100G of data. Right now I am copying 750G to my new backup drive (both sata internal drives most files are >1G), and the only thing i am noticing is drive noise... which is very low. Oh an i am also copying some stuff from work at 10Mbit too (only 25G).
Really i haven't had this problem since i used slack 1.0 with a 2G HDD on my old 486 back in 1996 or so.
Now if the apps need to thrash the HDD all at the same time, well yea its going to be slow, but no amount of scheduling is going to change that.
If so, what happens when he is no longer running the show? And even if people just believe its true, what will happen to the apple share price when he leaves?
I know that the last video that i saw not so long ago, he didn't look well at all.
If you want things to happen you do. Without mobility you don't get any interesting chemistry without geological timescales. Its needs to be somewhat "universal" so that you can have more than one/few compounds/"proteins" with mobility.
There is a some literature on this. And you also left out the part where, if you have these other elements, you also have carbon.
Oh and clay is only clay when there is a lot of water in it.... guess what makes things "soluble" in a clay matrix, and permit transport.
Not with any kind of long term stability. And you need some kind of solvent that works pretty university. This cuts the number of usefully compounds down drastically --to the point where you don't have anything left.
There is a reason even our man made synthetic materials are based on carbon.
Then there is a another thing to consider. If you have phosphorus etc around, you have *more* carbon around. Carbon is produced in quite large amounts in stellar processes and is quite common in the galaxy.
They got lucky. How many other stores when completely the other way. NAT does not provide "camouflage" to your home network any more than a publicly known password provides security.
In NZ, where wood is also very popular. It is often easier to comply with earth quake building codes. A house with give does much better than one that does not. Its easier to use wood for this.
However there are limitations. The vast majority of houses are 1 floor with the odd house with 2 floor. Once you hit 3 floors or more, prefab concrete and in place pored concrete become very common.
Which is a totally arbitrary metric and left open to just if someone likes the person or not. ie an Apple fan boy is happy Jobs is rich, but that stinky slimy weasel that is Bill Gates.....

IIRC for 9 hours. And It wasn't the whole grid. It was an inconvenience.

Doing nothing is cheaper, and 99.999% as effective. So a much better cost to benefit ratio.

Can't you just turn the voice chat off? And if needed text chat (I don't read it anyway).

Yea, I know, you would think that OSX was popular or something with all the fuss /. makes about Apple.

You still gota love the 700MB "blu ray" rips. Hilarious.

no, don't need "solvent that acts universally"
If you want things to happen you do. Without mobility you don't get any interesting chemistry without geological timescales. Its needs to be somewhat "universal" so that you can have more than one/few compounds/"proteins" with mobility.

Oh and clay is only clay when there is a lot of water in it.... guess what makes things "soluble" in a clay matrix, and permit transport.
And yet there are 100s who work harder, and have less. You are no *more* deserving of wealth than them.

Real scientists do in fact work on this stuff.

No, I said it makes them no less deserving than you.

IF they deserve that success.
