That's where things get difficult - and where sometimes we have to abandon a perfectly functional linux desktop for MS or Apple in order to get things done.
Or simply crash the damn thing. HP's PS interpreter is particularly prone to over-long headers (I notified them of the problem in 2002 and they promised to fix it. As of 2012 I can still reliably crash their printers - which is why we no longer buy them)
Yes it's doable. You'd need something like SAM-QFS (recently opensourced by oracle, the parts you need only on opensolaris) to do it or you'll have rotten performance.
You'll also need a tape robot in order to have enough tape storage onhand.
As it happens, I do have a tape robot onhand (Neo4000 with LTO2 drives), but the LTO2 drives mean it's more practical at home to use ZFS and 12 drive RAIDZ2 than a hierarchical storage system (60 slots at 200Gb each=10Tb) running on tape drives which practical experience shows don't like household levels of dust - apart from the storage issues I don't want to have to run a cleaning cycle every week.
Trying to directly access using LTFS would work, but not cope well with multiple file requests. That's not what it's intended for.
As a work server, it's a different matter, especially if you have a big enough library and enough data stored to make it practical (I think the current threshold is about 400Tb, which is just over what I'm handling now on our main NAS setup)
Slowly - mainly because not much past old slow P5s can be radiation hardened enough to work reliably in the hostile environment that's outside our atmosphere.
Smaller scales might be faster but they're also more susceptible to cosmic rays.
Maccy Ds has had to pay out multiple $large_sums to customers with food poisoning over the years and in at least one case a customer died.
The culprit? Franchising
McD cooking times are precisely calculated to ensure the food is safe. Franchisees in several of busy London branches during the 1980/90s were cutting corners to speed things up and one of the corners cut was cooking times (others included improper freezer temps, selling cooked food past its drop dead time and taking things out of the freezer then letting them sit around too long before cooking.)
Unsurprisingly, most of the branches in question are now directly owned by McDonalds UK.
The earth will keep having ice ages as long as there's a circumpolar ocean current - that's only existed in "recent" history since the Drake Passage opened up about 10 million years ago. That current might not have started the ice ages, but it will keep them going and the arctic ocean will be gone long before the circumpolar current is.
The only question is when that current will be interrupted or diverted far enough north to pick up heat and the answer to that will be provided by continental drift (either antarctica will drift far enough north to push the current to temperate latitudes, or the gap will close, or a combination of the two)
As for AGW: It's highly likely to simply be staving off the inevitable. There's another glacial period coming and it's only a matter of when it starts. The issue for the moment is the very short term problem of population movements due to sea levels changing. Those have been unusually stable for the last ~9000 years, and even a 1-10 metre change in the next century is tiny compared to past variations.
Even though the planet is in a glacial trending period, it's worth realiising that Antarctica has been ice-free during several interglacials. It may be ice free in future ones.
My ~2003 UIQ2 Motorola A1000 has a physical "slide to unlock" button (slide up to lock, down and then toggle down to unlock) and had haptics plus handwriting recognition that worked far better than Newton's ever did.
Moving from that to a screen slider isn't that big a leap. I'm glad the court ruled the way it did.
MOST of the reduction in the aerial firefighting force happened because the vast majority of the fleet were seriously old clunkers whose wings started falling off in midair - once that happened the rest had to be grounded for safety reasons.
There's been inadequate investment in new hardware for _decades_. Budget cuts were just the icing on the cake.
The Evergreen firefighting 747 is a great bird though - and it can easily replace 4-5 smaller firefighters, as can the russian flying boats. The problem is that the world needs at least 20-30 of these aircraft and noone's willing to commit that kind of money to converting more widebodies.
Evergreen made the existing one to test the market and while it does good business in the lease market there's clearly not enough demand for them to convert any more.
Don't forget that it took an overly credulous NZ judge to issue the search warrants in the first place.
I do find it interesting that there is no coverage of who authorised the raids.
Under UK and related commonwealth countries law, the plaintiff accuses the respondant of making statements - even if the accusations are not true.
The burden of proof is then on the respondant to _prove_ that the accusations are untrue, if the plaintiff has made untrue accusations.
This is the only kind of litigation where you are guilty until proven innocent - and relying on truth or public interest as a defence does not mean that the findings aren't for the plaintiff.
Defamation litigation is almost always about who has deeper pockets.
"Most cars have their ECU's under a metal hood."
Um. no.
Most cars have their ECUs inside the passenger cabin for maximum environmental protection.
[Some (VW group) then cock that up by placing the ECU on the floor of the cabin under the carpet, making them easily screwed up by corrosion if there happens to be any kind of leak (I've seen this happen in different vehicles from a bad heater matrix, poor windscreen repair and quite simply from leaving the front windows down and the car getting caught in a torrential downpour) or if the car is driven into floodwaters.]
A "lightning bolt" is a resonant effect with a wide spectrum. Most of the energy is around the 200-500kHz range.
So yes, skin effect does come into it.
It's more than just "one up and one down" - bear in mind that high speed photography is picking up the ionisation path, not the electrical impulses.
Because some dain-bramaged interfaces won't apply the changes unless you do and print/ok end up using the original settings.
Once burned you get into the habit of doing it that way.

The phone company has to ask you if you want to be listed - and it's illegal to charge extra fees for unlisted entries.
I got around the issue in pre-privacy law days by having my entry listed with a bogus name and an address which was a horse paddock nearby.
If USA denizens can't get state privacy laws to protect them, they may be able to get bogus listings instead.
The Samsung tablet has a widescreen aspect, while the Apple tablet is 4:3 - they've been photoshopped to make their dimensions seem the same.

Personally I utterly avoid expats from my own country. If they pine for home so much then they can go back there. Problem solved.
Well yeah, but how big is the resulting binary?

Is it just me or do the cities at night look like something out of a bacterial culture?
Antibodies kill the infection source. Now that's a thought....
FFS, that's prior art. Make sure the court knows about it.
I just dropped cygwin/X on it, problem solved.

Only in the USA. In other countries it varies widely.

Better add a rinse cycle, just for good measure.
