Taking Alaska as an example, these factors are not big problems: Bandwidth: I would not be surprised if there is a substantial amount of cable already in the Bering Straits. Electricity: Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields are just up the road. Geothermal and wind power elsewhere, not to mention you'd need less of it. Manpower: There's normally some sucker willing to work there. Anchorage has 227,000 people; it won't miss a few hundred for the datacenter.
Instead of warm locations like Texas and Carolina Why don't they build these datacentres near the Arctic circle, like Alaska and reduce the need for cooling?
I'm sure that with remote administration they'd only need a few guys wearing thermal underwear to press the reset button or to swap out servers physically:-)
One could take this back in time and confirm or deny whether Lee Harvey Oswald did it, or whether there was another shooter on/ behind the "grassy knoll":-)
Well, Pierre Curie got run over by a Carriage. Could've happened to anyone.
Marie Curie had only herself to blame; winning the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911 obviously cancelled out the beneficial effects of winning the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903.
Anyone know how big this pod is and the effect on fuel efficiency in this era of Global Warming?
One suspects in 20 years your average terrorist will be equipped with missiles that proudly boast that they defeat Guardian and similar military systems.
Also, with asymmetric warfare, I'd simply look at ways of getting a truck full of explosives onto the runway....
a) Coastline being a fractal is technically infinite in length b) Since new islands are being discovered, the real length of greenlands coast is not known.
The list of problems would go on. Increased exhaustion, causing reduced of chance to hit, increased AC in combat. Reduced DEx while carrying body, lowered ability to respond to surprise attacks..... Loss of charisma due to smelling of dead kobold all the time....
AFAIK, the Total War sequence of games has no problem tracking dead bodies, and there may be thousands of them!
Certainly Rome:Total War leaves the dead on the battlefield, even if they are simplified. Even missiles, such as arrows are tracked into the ground and only disappear after a while.
I fail to see the problem with letting the dead pile up, they're just objects like everything else.....
The whole suit comes in at 18 kilograms. It covers everything but the fingertips and the major joints, and could be mass-produced for about $2,000, Hurtubise says.
IIRC, aiming for the joints was a common tactic in days of yore, when knights wore similar protection systems..... once you have the guy crippled and on the floor, a stab to an artery in the groin area would see him off.
I thought some armour protected the joints too, so I suggest he look at 14th to 16th century solutions to a 21st century problem.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddently cried out and suddenly silenced as they started reading.

At least when the toilet paper dispenser runs out, they can always use the "emergency supplies"
Slashdot has "jumped the shark".
Boom-tish!
300,000,000km/sec over 25k miles max is not going to make much difference.
It doesn't matter which side of the planet it fires from, the planet is still toast when the Death Star fires.
The datacenter is presumably for worldwide ops, so again location is almost irrelevant.
Just goes to show that Klingons invented everything first! :-)

Why don't they build these datacentres near the Arctic circle
um, could it be... Power?
oh - wait... you're right. There's always Kringle Power and Light.
The datacenters (and Kris Kringle) have no power problems at all.
For Alaska, there is the small item of Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields, not to mention geothermal, wind and wave energy. Also small cities like Anchorage....
Energy wouldn't be a problem.

Sure its a landing! It may be a crash landing, but it is still a landing.
