Bah. We could address more RAM on 32-bit systems by some fancy memory paging or mapping scheme.
Let's call it the Expanded Memory Specification. We could gather the support of Intel and Microsoft for this, and maybe an app vendor that makes a spreadsheet or something.
I still believe Silicon is the way to go, simply because of its abundance. If a better refining process can be developed, the cost problems will go away.
Whilst some thin-film PV cells are made using Indium, not all PV cells are.
I looked into this a while ago. Media darlings like First Solar and Nanosolar are using CIGS (Indium) technology, which, as you note, is in short and rapidly depleting supply.
But companies like Suntech are using good old, reliable and abundant Silicon. And they're doing it today, not with vapourware. They're a much better bet for the long term.
Hmm... I wonder which people would prefer to have, 10 square killometers
So smaller than most cities? Or indeed the rooftop area of most cities. of expensive solar pannels
More expensive than a machine that has yet to be invented? which have to be replaced regularly
25 years is regular? You need more fibre in your diet. and block all the light from the ground
Or roof. Which would reduce the cooling needs in the summer. a single reactor burning a remarkably clean fuel
Aside from the radiation mentioned above.
I'd say he was put there by the Republican Party in order to siphon off those libertarian-leaning Republican voters who can't bear to vote for that party any more. Better to have them cast their vote for a 3 party candidate with no hope of getting elected, than vote for the real opposition.
Bear in mind he was leading the charge against Clinton during the impeachment proceedings. The man was unprincipled then on a partisan witch hunt. Why is he suddenly non-partisan and principled?
They used a similar tactic in 2000 with Pat Buchanan. The Reform Party would have sucked votes away from Bush, so the Republicans installed a racist xenophobe as the candidate that no one in their right mind would ever vote for.
When I took my A-levels back in 1987, I'd reviewed all of the papers going back 10 years. The exams had definitely gotten harder. The problems from the 70's were somewhat simpler.
Not quite the same thing as here, but standards, for Maths A-levels at least, had toughened between the 70's and 80's.

You need to brush up on your history. The American Civil War started with the Battle of Fort Sumter, where the South was the aggressor.
These very same banks were required, by regulation, to provide bad loans.
Except that they weren't. Stop repeating these republican blogosphere lies.

No wait, the Extended Memory Specification.
As trolls go, this one is far too unsubtle. You need to try harder.
People walked a lot faster back then, too.
Never mind that. The goatse guy is on the sun!
My eyes!
Thanks for the correction.

I would offer that you, sir, are full of shit.

which basically includes things like compulsory kneeling to Mecca five times a day, and taking away your right to post asshat comments on Slashdot.
No it doesn't. Stop perpetuating this republican lie.
They want us out of Saudi Arabia.
We had tort reform for just such a thing here in Texas. Neither my insurance premiums nor healthcare costs have been reduced.
Then change the system.
Of course the only way to achieve that is to vote Lib Dem. Labour and the Tories are quite happy with the current system as it favours them.
more people voted conservative than Labour at the last general election
The facts would indicate otherwise (from here):
Labour 9,562,122
Conservative 8,772,598
If you already have a prejudice against someone, then something you read that reinforces that prejudice has to be true.
At least until McCain gets elected and Barr can return to a cushy job at the Republican Party.

You're not a little guy?
Agreed 100%, and it is an absolute farce that they were awarded the Summer Olympic Games.
I can't believe the IOC even considered China. It's like hosting the games in Nazi Germany and having Hitler preside over the event.
Oh wait...
Second, will Al Qaeda reciprocate?
Why would Al Qaeda reciprocate? How do you know any of the people held at Guantanamo Bay are Al Qaeda members?
No evidence has been presented in a court of law to suggest that they are.
If there is evidence, let's try them, examine said evidence, and deal with them according to the rule of law.
The Magna Carta most certainly does have a bearing on US law. It's one of the bases of English Common Law from which US Common Law is derived.

I say send Crunch along to help them out. He'd fit right in.
