Its always the case. The Brits invent the prototype, then the Americans refine it, market it, and take the credit. From Democracy to Computers, from Trains to Planes.
Don't worry. We'll have ID cards soon, then everything will be fine again.
No, that's the first step. When all cars are satellite [GPS+GSM] tracked, you'll need the ID card to start the car (making sure you aren't drunk, are the rightful owner, and have appropiate insurance, tax, MOT etc), and to use public transport. Then we'll be safe. Think of the terrorists it'll stop! Think of the evil paediatricians we'll be able stop, THINK OF THE CHIlDREN!!!
Remember, if you have nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear.
Indeed, we're implementing a 24 bay system at the moment, in a brand new apps room off one of our current ones (which happens to have about 100 bays, most of the overflowing), so, yes, power is a problem, and cooling doubly so. (One apps room is currently responsible for two 24 hour tv channels and barely has a backup AC unit (it may work if we shut down some of the less-essential equipment).
My guess is that in the time from now until 2.8.0 is released, we will see less than 1000 such machines worldwide.
640 CPUs are enough for anyone?:)
A better retort would be "There's a world market for maybe 5 computers" by the IBM dude.
Claims are very difficult to make, and impossible to proove. However putting a time limit on a claim is easy. 2.8.0 will be released in 05 or 06, maybe we'll all have 1024CPU boxes in 20 years, but in 20 months?
At work I carry an RFID arround with me, have to. Aside from secrity being able to stop you if you dont wear ID, I need it to get through most doors. theoretically that can be monitored by management. Nothing is ever done with that monitoring though.
Build wind farms and the environazis will be on your back about them too. Skyscrapers might make a difference too, but the number of windfarms it takes just to power 1 skyscraper would be much worse.

Blair on Question time? Not very often, mostly his cronies. Best politics show arround in This Week though.

Of course the fact the DVD's were #1 on the amazon selling list for weeks is irellevent
isn't Joss a girls name?
Jayne's a girls name

Just the appropiateness. Why would I insult something I am envious of?
Now lets not get ahead of ourselves, but it might be enough to install gentoo before it's obsolete.

So what's the real story on the system reqs ?

In all games, there is a defense for the offense.
What about golf?
In any case it's not newsworthy.
When the news emerged it was newsworthy, at least on the UK 24hour rolling channels
Yeah, it's the special level of hell reserved for child molesters and people that talk in theaters.
Why North Korea rules: Apache/2.0.48 (Linux/SuSE), Where as america is Microsoft-IIS/6.0
May they roast in hell for a thousand years with no Internet access!
No, too nice. May they roast in hell for a thousand years with internet access, but they have to use Internet Explorer!
Then I have to go into a long tedious explanation about how Al Gore invented the Intenet, and the Web is only one application of it.
Insightful? More like Funny or Troll
Al will make the cover of pretty much every newsmag out there when he becomes the first emperor of the moon
But will this mole be delivered by Thunderbird 2? If it is will it be driven by an ex-austronaut puppet or a 15 year old kid with teenage angsts?
Two miles per second is an almost unfathomable speed to me.
Its about the average speed on the Milan ringroad

Stand behind the reporter with a "Hi Mom" placard.
Or get a job at a TV station, if the BBC did Hi-Def they'd have broadcast DeCSS off the back of my tshirt a few times
So you are sayign that we can easilly control the worlds climate with no unforseen side effacts?
predictions are difficult, especially about the future.
As opposed to the other kind of predictions?
In addition, taking energy out of the wind increases precipitation says Alison Hill of the BWEA.
Which means it decreases precipitation elsewhere. On a large scale its a climate change.
And nuclear plants might have nasty accidents that kill thousands
When was the last western plant that "killed thousands".
I'm not saying nuclear is safe, I'm saying that there is no such thing as "green" methods, at the moment.
As for fears about windfarms.
Build wind farms and the environazis will be on your back about them too. Skyscrapers might make a difference too, but the number of windfarms it takes just to power 1 skyscraper would be much worse.
