    I don't think you can separate the two, was it harmed by Japanese research or by the lack of US investment in US research.. where is the split?

    The US didn't keep up with the Joneses in terms of research, tech and efficiency... the short term 'imaginary' gains that resulted led to long term trillion dollar budget deficit, loss of homes for the people, not the companies (who coincidentally employ the people).. now you could go all communist like the hunter gathers... but I have a feeling someone would want to dictate and control things... Why not have the driving investment in wisdom over so called equity.

    [Who] do[?] you work[ for]?

    Where I come from we have redundant web severs that we can deploy to, and then test the deployed [released] version then switch over, then back if it all fucks up.

    We do this by cloning the VM on the machines.

    We also have inhouse shared development servers.

    We do this by cloning VMs, the same ones we use of the front side servers..

    We also have 'demo' laptops n stuff setup that work without an internet connection.... (e.g. underground)..

    We do this by cloning VMs

    We also have the ability for developers to run their own copies and version of the servers and tweek them as required....

    We do this by cloning VMs.

    Yes, you most defiantly DO WANT TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE SERVER SIDE ON A DEV PLATFORM OR ANYWHERE.

    you can do similar with cloud hosting too.

    Use what you want to edit.. hey even share the drive on the VM.

    Without using a VM or two.... so you have a direct clone of every system on the server/s....

    guess what I set-up for development...... hey I can even set it up on the 'server' and take loads and loads of identical clones and modify and release them to my hearts content. Put them on Laptops to run demos, given them to friends to steal trade secrets from the company.... all kinds of things.

    I take it you can't run a VM on a Mac or set-up boot camp to run an OS that can manage it if OS X can't?

    normal solar is at about 25% or something.... I'm not sure what conversion rates to hydrogen (or something portable and storeable) are, batteries are generally crap,

    Current best processes have an efficiency of 50% to 80%,

    So assume 'real cheap' where talking maybe 10% efficiency using normal solar... so it only has to be 'half' the price and it's cost effective... and I'd assume the efficiency will go up.

    programming is domain dependent too.

    you would program a website, like an OS like a DBMS.

    So you have:
    calculus, language/rules.
    Calculus, patterns.
    Calculus, domain application.
    The top one should take long.... but may develop further with the other two... but you won't know until you've done everything you ever could do.
