I'm not an EE but I'm not sure a computer's main switching power supply even cares if it gets AC or DC, the ones on the motherboard run on DC from the Main PSU. If the PSU did care it should be trivial to convert it to AC/DC anyways.
At high voltages even DC has significant skin effects, because the charge carriers repel each other. That can be a great advantage because a hollow conductor isn't significantly more resistive than a solid one; you can even do interesting things like having a high strength steel core wrapped by a copper conducting layer.
No it was more like exploited victims seeking him out with cash in hand for assistance in redressing grievances done to them by other cretins; not much different than hiring a lawyer, he even did a few pro bono jobs.
The point I got from the article is the kids that are easily preyed upon by internet terrorists are kids that will be easily preyed upon in any situation; so therefore it's not the internet that is particularly dangerous, it's anywhere. Some people should not be allowed to get out of bed unsupervised.
While I think Al's present campaign is little more than attention whoring, he has been doing a lot of renovations to his mansion to green it up a lot; after all we can't have GWB be greener than Al Gore now can we?
I loved Jerry, interestingly he was primarily an author that used computers as a tool. He had the unusual ability to cause any systems weakness to come bubbling to the surface, things frequently broke simply by his presence. If you were a hardware or software producer you sent your stuff to Chaos Manor and if it survived there your future was secure!

The biggest problem is the spreadsheet gives the clueless bean-counter the ability to do stupid shit really fast; the real answer is to a hire qualified accountant that actually understands the numbers and principals and works as part of a team that considers all of the factors effecting the companies long-term and short-term health. A hypothetical example would be a company that has one unprofitable division, axing that division causes it's portion of fixed expenses to be transferred to all the remaining divisions and cause the next least profitable division to get the axe; wash, rinse, repeat until nothing is left!
My mother used to say "If all of your friends told you to jumped off the blue Water bridge, you would?" The law reads,
Any unauthorised access to third-party computers could be regarded as tampering with data, which is punishable under paragraph  303a of the German Penal Code. That paragraph threatens up to two years' imprisonment for unlawfully deleting, suppressing, making unusable or changing third-party data. Storm Worm botnet cracked wide open
one might argue that telling infected computers to access a different sever isn't accessing them, they are accessing your server, telling the infected computer to disinfect itself and possibly causing colatteral, isn't the same as actaully doing this youself; Of course IANAL, YMMV and don't try this at home.
The bird I worked on, the HAWK MIM23A had a solid fuel motor and hydraulically actuated control surfaces on the elevons, it was able to pull turns that would put an aircraft pilot well into the black-out zone.
Imortality isn't likely, our chromosomes have telomeres on the chromosomes which shorten with each cell division,
The telomerase shortening mechanism normally limits cells to a fixed number of divisions, and animal studies suggest that this is responsible for aging on the cellular level and sets a limit on lifespans. Telomeres protect a cell's chromosomes from fusing with each other or rearranging - abnormalities which can lead to cancer - and so cells are normally destroyed when their telomeres are consumed. Biologists speculate that this programmed death of potentially damaged cells reduces the likelihood of cancer but makes aging (and thus death) inevitable. Most cancers are the result of "immortal" cells which have evolved ways of evading this programmed destruction.[1] Telomere
unless we can reset the telomere length we are limited in age.
Top heavy is a good thing, when the center of mass is ahead of the center of aerodynamics, the motor has a strong tendency to stay under on the bottom! It's like the difference between a bottle rocket and a roman candle.
I also dread the "Mighty Mouse" charging in to save the day, yet it seems to me that the Aries systems are the magic bullets being shot by Mighty Mouse rather than the Jupiter systems. Jupiter also seems to allow evolutionary upgrades more readily, which would allow R&D expenses to be amortized over a longer period.
It's not going to work well each IPv4 addresses has a limited number of ports 1-1023, are Well Known Ports and unavailable, 1024-49151, are Registered Ports and unavailable, 49152-65535, are Dynamic and/or Private Ports; this leaves 16,383 as the maximum number of connections that can pass through a NAT. If each computer is real nice and only opens one connection each it doesn't seem too bad but if the web browsers opens 10 connections to load a page and a yahoo messengers and a bittorrent session is running along with a system updates that one address is going to be pretty jammed.
You say that like there is a formal definition of climate scientist, or that an oceanographer's views are worthless because the Earth is only 70% water, or a museum director isn't likely to be a PhD and have a metric tonne of historical data available to him or her, or even an Engineer's job isn't to take some scientist's half-baked idea and turn it into something that works in the real world!
Adding Fe to fertilize the algae, causes the algae to consume the dissolved CO2 in the water, so your argument is nonsensical. Fertilizing the algae will not only not effect the mount of CO2 absorbed by the seawater from the air, but will reduce the amount of CO2 in the water.
The deadzones are because the algae is decaying in relatively shallow water causing an overload in the biological oxygen demand, deep ocean waters are already anoxic and have loads of toxic gases disolved like CO2, methane and ammonia.

my step-son used to earn a pretty good chunk of change knocking those bullies out for the kids that had been picked on.
May be your definition of OK is a bit fuzzier than ours is.

Get a shovel head attached to a swimming pool skimmer pole, that way the ice sheet can slice your head off clean when it slides off your collectors!

It'll be more bothersome, but if DNSes won't be available, they'll just say click here for free viagra!
What makes you think people buying stuff from spam will notice if it's a domain name, or IP address?
Bastards stole my development website!
Most likely because they are hosted on a shared server that has a single IP address serving multiple websites ala Apache's <virtual host> directive
Ahhah all that spam was just a clever cover story!
