Don't be so quick to knock NFS for the Enterprise. I used to avoid it as well, but now I wouldn't have it any other way.
We run NFS datastores on Netapp filers for all of our VMs. It is SO much easier to manage than iSCSI or FC LUNs. No more worrying about the number of VMs in each datastore and we can take full advantage of Netapp's deduplication (which saves us about 50% on average). It's always nice to be able to directly access your datastores if you need to copy files in/out for backups and restores.
If you really need a block based solution you can always connect some iSCSI or FC LUNs as RDMs (we use iSCSI for SQL databases that use block based storage replication).
This is an environment with close to 400VMs accross 20 hosts (HP DL360 G7's) with 20TB+ of storage (and growing fast).
The previous environment I managed had 1000VMs accross 36 hosts (IBM x3850 M2's) using FC LUNs with somewhere north of 60TB of VMs so that's what I'm comparing with.
I'll grant you that not all NFS solutions are created equal so YMMV with other NAS solutions. Netapp can be very pricey, but I think you get what you pay for.
Forty such missions would double the nitrogen content of Mars' atmosphere by direct importation,... If one such mission were launched per year, within half a century or so most of Mars would have a temperate climate...
Am I the only one that thinks smacking 40, 2.6KM asteroids into a planet isn't going to leave it in such a hospitable form?
What about all the dust that those suckers are going to throw up? Wouldn't that block the sun and keep the planet cool?
Sort of... the brochure for the Canadian Corolla lists the mileage as 40mpg in the city and 53 highway, for the 5 speed version.

You may want to check out the Genesis3D engine. It's an open source 3d engine for windows. (closed source license is available for the small sum of $10,000).
I think the point is that people who signed up with Amazon BEFORE they said they would start giving out information, now have no way to stop their information from getting out, so it really doesn't matter if they stop buying from Amazon.
I would imagine that a CPU based on travelling light would run much cooler than its electron moving cousins. That of course, would be a beneficial thing.

The space station still has a Russian Soyuz spacecraft docked with it which the crew can use to leave/escape if necessary.
They finally got the idea.
