There is something to that though, that could force the whole system to go offline, which is a situation in which integrity can no longer be guaranteed. In that case systems like this shut down completely until the issue is resolved. A partial system can be a much larger problem than none at all.
With that attitude running your government you'll have to just sit back and concede to the Indians and the Chinese. In some fields it pays to be second best, not a pioneer.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the DNA contained the computer equivalent of a bootstrap loader, quite probably in some section of the so called 'junk dna' in the form of a hardwired map for a group of neurons.
stereotype much ? Incredible... How can you actually stereotype an entire gender based on a relatively small sample ? Quite probably taken only in a limited geographical region
Really, you should get out more, there are several billion women out there, surely some of them must not abide by your stereotype ? If not *most* of them ?
I own several English made cars and I can testify from personal experience that the only time when there is not oil leaking from the car is when it has run out.
Energy bought in bulk sells for a substantially different price compared to energy sold at retail levels. To some extent this is reflected in the price of solar power components, because the manufacturing process consumes bulk energy but the end product deliver energy at the retail level.
The usual way to get around these difficult factors is to convert it all to money and compute a pay-back time, in the case of a solar power installation that works out (at a constant oil price level, which is usually not the case) to a pay back period of about 10 years.
If I'm ever going to have to engineer something I'd like you on the team:)
Excellent thinking. Welding blanket maybe wrapped around some glass wool insulation, that stuff has some amazing properties, it inuslates better than a welding blanket would (which is mostly to avoid spatter damage).
But the seal is definitely the way to go, and that piece of tube would simplify things a lot.
you're the idiot, the california crisis was because the guys running Enron were screwing everybody over taking plants in perfect working order offline to create artificial shortages.
In other words make 10 of them and open 9, if those 9 do not contain molten slag and are all recoverable then there is some good statistical evidence that number 10 is also ok. Not 100% proof but better than just making one and crossing your fingers.
If one of the nine is bad you can work out the odds that your 'live one' is also bad.

it's the rural areas where the real problems are, telcos are simply not motivated to do anything at all about it.
In the cities you can usually choose between several broadband providers, in the sticks you're lucky if you have one.
If not then it's good old dial up or isdn for you.
Man those blinkers fit you so well.

most languages are not resistant to crashes, downtime is a result, not a cause.
SYSTEMS can be designed in a fault tolerant manner, leading to less downtime.

this whole karma thing is overrated ;)
Just say whatever you want and ignore the karma.
I think you should broaden your horizon a bit if that is your experience.
Oh, and maybe talk to them.

Call it the bhos for lack of a better term :)
You have to start somewhere after all.

and several other Asian terms.
I salute you sir, for you incredible ability to perceive positive elements in your environment.
that's exactly where my thoughts are going with this, it looks like a paid corporate hit to me.
no really, let's not blow it out of proportion, after all good money was spent to get this astroturf campaign of bad news about nvidia fanned.

I tried to find a video of the helicopter hanging from Scarface, which I think is what it could also lead to but I couldn't find it...
Well, in your case it's probably unlucky ;)

pumped storage is used quite extensively the world over, I just visited a setup like that in Scotland.

The same way you get it from a coal fire or a natural gas fired plant, you use the heat to generate steam and use that to drive a turbine.
'only' 30% ? Make that 30%, WOW !
If every industrial entity did this we'd be talking about 30% saved across the board, which would be absolutely amazing.
Compact fluorescents mandated in the home because it could save a couple of KWh per home and you sneeze at a 30% savings ?
they can, but not without international cooperation, something the US is notoriously bad at.
absolutely. Which is why I would suggest rolling the outside shut and making the container of stainless steel.
A bit like a tin can. Tin cans from 80 years ago can still contain good food, if it works for food it should work for other stuff.
good point!
Another thing would be: TEST IT!!!
