Regardless of whether is it currently free or not, I suspect Google hopes to have a paid version of this in the near future.
You mean like all the other google tools that you have to pay for like search, mail, maps, sketch-up, earth, docs and spreadsheets, calendar, picassa, ride finder, video, groups, alerts, reader, whatever.
Yeah, I'm sure that they're just ACHING to get a paid version of this out the door.
Uh, I was at the famous speech at Google and you don't know what you're talking about. The room was completely packed even though he went 30 minutes over.
separation of the human species in case of global tragedy
I always find myself agreeing with comments like this, however if the earth was somehow wiped out (asteroid, nuclear holocost, virus), anyone living on the moon really isn't going to survive that much longer, because they're going to have a very limited set of resources, even if we manage to get to the point where we don't have to be regularly resupply them with food and water.
these systems are vastly more complicated than is necessary
they don't degrade gracefully
there's no paper recount
As a bonus (if you're already office), they're also incredibly easy to hack and tamper with, should you want to alter the count or prevent certain blocks of votes from being counted.
What fantasy world are you living on? NASA didn't get any more (significant) funding for this. They're cutting programs left and right to try to pay for this. Unmanned space science in America is about to be a thing of the past.
According to your own vehicle tracker, you were doing 50 mph on Prospect Rd, a residential street, at 14:07:30 on 7/23/06. You will now be fined for speeding. Please remit your payment by Tuesday. Thank you.
My solution: I bought a skin-on-aluminum frame folding kayak instead. Geek factor - high. DRM factor -low. No monthly upgrades to keep track of. I can do anything I want to modify it without any silly broadcast flags. All fun.
And soon, you won't even be able to use that toy either, what with the drilling in national parks, the (un)clean air act, and all the other atrocities to nature this administration has managed.
Zero elevation: Since Mars has no oceans and hence no 'sea level', a zero-elevation surface or mean gravity surface must be selected. The datum for Mars is defined by the fourth-degree and fourth-order spherical harmonic gravity field, with the zero altitude defined by the 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar) atmospheric pressure surface (approximately 0.6% of Earth's) at a temperature of 273.16 K. This pressure and temperature correspond to the triple point of water.
When are we going to send a manned mission to Mars? We understand so much about the Universe, we can see millions of light years away using these amazing telescopes, but we STILL haven't set foot on the next planet over.
As soon as someone is willing to pony up $100B, and sacrafice the lives of a couple of astronauts (since getting there is a whole lot easier than getting back).
If you've got a good way for detecting, from orbit, the mineral composition of something 1.5 km beneath the surface, I'm sure there's a lot of NASA scientists that would like to hear about it.
Otherwise, break out another beer, get back in your armchair, and quit dropping the remote control.
If you have a meaningful job then it's a lot easier to get satisfaction from it. Boosting the earnings of some faceless corporation isn't high on my list, but knowing that every day, I can make meaningful contributions to mankind's scientific understanding of the universe goes a long way.
Once again, evidence that there should be criminal penalties for improper handling of personal information. If you collect it, you better make sure it's safe. Otherwise, stop collecting it.
If we create legistlation that makes losing customer's personal information a criminal offense, then maybe these giant megalomerates will stop collecting (and abusing) it.
We have about 27TB of data from Mars (and adding another TB per month) that we need to keep online. We have been using netapps, but at ~$25K/TB, plus maintenance (3 years maintenance is about as much as a whole new system) they're just WAY too expensive for data warehousing.
We've moved to using linux based OpenAFS servers. A high quality 3U box (qsol.com) loaded with 16x 300GB ATA drives costs about $8.5K and provides us about 3.5TB (2 drives for parity, 2 drives for hot-swap). That works out to $2.5K/TB. If your risk tolerance is higher than mine, you can bring that up to $8K/5.5TB, for about $1.5K/TB). We really want 99.999% availability, so just to be safe, we keep a 100% redundent read-only copy on a second machine (AFS supports this beautifully, including automatic fail-over).
OpenAFS has a couple of features that make it better than NFS (client-side cache, for instance), but it also has a few drawbacks, like no files >2GB.

Nice job posting to an article that is 100% (poorly formatted) copy of a NY times article, with 0% attribution.

An additional question: Where would it be efficient?
Answered in TFA, which the poster conveniently didn't link to: http://www.america2050.org/maps/

And more.
I wonder how this compares to the total sales all 5 (now 6) games had prior to being included in the bundle?
Oh, and awesome job, guys. Goo is a great game. Haven't had time to get to the rest yet.
Fortunately, they're not suggesting that increased evaporation is the important part. It's an increase in cloud cover.

Unless you're teaching a computer class, what need do you have to assign computer based homework?
$10k for 3 hours of work? If you can beat that, I sure would like to know about it.

Eventually every possible opinion will be expressed on the Internet, regardless of how stupid or inane.
