For comparison, the Pentagon (the world's largest office building by square footage) is 23 m tall, and each of the five sides of the building is 281 m long. Which works out to the saucer section being about as big as the Pentagon. That would definitely be a sight to see. Even the original Enterprise would probably take up about the same footprint as the Pentagon. I say we build it.
Regardless, since the courts are the best way to impartially try to determine guilt or innocence, thinking people reserve judgement until after a trial. "I just know he's guilty" really doesn't count for anything.
Yeah, I remember going to UofI in the early 90's when it was hooked up to BITNET. It was pretty damned cool at the time. I can't remember for sure, but I think I was there when they finally got it hooked up to Internet.
I remember using my Apple II+ to write... something, I don't remember, but the workaround for the all caps was to use Visicalc, because it had a way to do lower case. It was really fun trying to fit stuff into the cells.
And the reason he turns it on once a month is because he went out and bought another computer with Windows on it, and didn't tell the linux installer guy because he didn't want to hurt his feelings.
You are right that the Prius and the Volt compare pretty well. They just do the hybrid thing a little differently. But I don't think the Volt is really looking to pull market share from Priuses, but from Tauruses and Camrys and Accords. The nice thing about the Volt is that it CAN be a plug-in EV, or it CAN be a regular hybrid. Even if the plug-in power only accounts for 25% of your daily usage, that's a 25% savings (minus the cost of electricity, which is supposedly $1.50 per charge. Compared to the 1-3 gallons of fuel it displaces, that's still at least $3 saved a day.)
Middle class people are the vast majority of taxpayers by population, but the rich pay the vast majority of dollars. So the rich are the ones subsidizing it to a far greater degree. Regardless, unlike things like welfare, the goal of the subsidy isn't to pay off the end user. The goal is to incentivize the purchase of the cars so that a market can develop for them more quickly than would normally happen. Which is a good thing, because as new technology gets adopted, the price tends to go down, which helps everyone.
The nice thing about the hatch is that the rear "lip" is usually lower, so your cargo doesn't have to be lifted as high to get in. And easier to roll out when you need to unload of it. Even better, the larger hatch (as opposed to the trunk's decklid) has a little more leverage in case you have to snap a spine or something to get it to fold up.
I love how everyone bitches about premium. It is 20 - 30 cents more a gallon. With gas prices where they are, that's barely noise. And with an engine designed to specifically run on premium, you almost get your money back via the increased efficiency.
And the Volt's electric motor supposedly produces 149hp and 273 ft-pounds of torque. That should be enough to get up any hill.
I hate them too, but sadly I think that ship has sailed. Even many of the cars that look like they have trunks are hatchback-like when you open it. I bought a Hyundai Accent last fall, and when comparing the utility of the hatchback versus the sedan, the hatchback won in every category. And it's like 6 inches shorter. You can practically chuck a washing machine back there. (Actually, I have, but it was one of those little Haier portable ones.)
I've driven out to one of these wind farms, and the windmills don't make any noise from about 100 yards away. Also, a huge field of them is quite beautiful.
Only on cheap controllers. On real ones from real vendors, the data is stored on both the drives and the controller. You can swap cards (or drives to another box) all you want.
For small orgs where the $1000 is a big deal, then yes, software RAID is probably better. But for a big org with lots of servers, just buy Dell PERC, IBM ServRaid or HP SmartArray cards. There aren't going to be any supply issues with getting the right card for the life of the server. You can still get a 15 year old Smart2DH for like $25.
Unfortunately, your lefty activist types believe that "raising awareness" is a goal in and of itself. Problem -> awareness -> ??? -> problem solves itself.
And the Tea Party likely does want less government. For other people. They will happily keep what they use and probably ask for more, but discard what "the others" use. The OWS people, for all their asininity, are just asking for the government to do what they said they would do, IE, regulate stuff.

Just use a tax ID number for business purposes.

I remember some of that @Home stuff too. If you set your workgroup to "WORKGROUP", you could see all your neighbors' computers.
UAC can be tuned to do nothing, notify, or ask for a password.

OK, I'm with you. Kill the subsidies on the "green" stuff, as long as you kill the subsidies on farming and oil production. Let the market decide!
Also while we are at it, might as well kill the subsidy on your mortgage and children too.

It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to put turbines in the woods. What with all the trees and all. They are usually on farms.
Have you ever been near one of those turbines? They are quieter than the wind.
What part of the constitution does this violate?
That's a tool by which they might be recognized. But why should they be afraid?

For servers and SCSI drives, they are the way to go.

Yeah, just build the RAID and let it resync. If nothing fails, that's all the testing you should be doing.
at 5200, 7500, 10k or 15k rpm, your dry bearings wouldn't "click", they would squeal.
