If demand is ever satisfied, the value of the product tends to zero and therefore it is impossible to make profit or to pay the loans which make up our monetary system. This is why there will always be poverty, always be homelessness, and is of course insanity and stupidity of the highest order.
Silvio Gesell identified this particular fundamental problem (and proposed a solution) with the nature of money itself nearly 100 years ago.
Far further than the 5-10 miles this connector is talking about using copper, or aluminium. Most of the energy losses are at the power station not in the wires.
Just wondering why superconductors suddenly make this feasable. 20 square miles just doesn't resolve to a very big number when looking at the length of the wire.
To the standby or testing system. Our staging/testing systems all run yesterday's production data, restored from the most recent backup.
if your backups don't work then neither will your test/staging server... Which will be noticed.
What do you get? * Backups tested every day. * A test/staging/standby system identical to the production. * Something the business can run all the crappy queries they like against without affecting the production system.
You just don't earn enough. This a demonstration (to the opposite sex) that you can afford to burn $5k therefore are "fit" and able to easily provide for offspring.
Hey. I've had a great idea. People could propel these things using their legs, getting fit at the same time. So you would be moving to your destination *and* saving money in gym fees *and* saving all that waste time at the gym too.
Think I'll patent it.
"A method for increasing human fitness and moving towards a destination at the same time."
Thje period in question marks the switch from coal to oil power.
Human progress follows the energy curve, which is something the singularity muppets don't seem to get. You want a flying car? You need something with a damned site more energy than oil... Before it runs out.
Progress has slowed because we're getting about as good as it gets at extracting work from oil. Get back to 100:1 EROEI (Mr. Fusion) or more and we'll see much faster progress.
The steam age never ended because it didn't exist. There was the wood age, the coal age, the current oil age and i'm guessing the next age will either be nuclear, or wood again, depending on how the coming resource wars go.
Slashdot Mirror
Built in on Windows, MacOS.
Built in on every web browser.
Built in on virtually all smartphones.
Available as Spidermonkey on Unix systems.
It's pretty much everywhere already. It'll replace most of the others; perl, python, ruby as the libraries and VMs available for it improve.
Choice made.
It's complex, expensive, unreliable and 99.99999% of the population don't think it's necessary.
If I've read it right, the suggestion is that we abolish land costs and rent.
You didn't, but at least you're thinking about it. The question is about the nature of value with respect to money.
Try Freigeld to start with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freigeld
There may be more which should be included...
So... x86-64, x86, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS, ARM, z10, m88k
How big are *your* binaries?
It requires scarcity to function.
Which is why people are knocking down houses in the USA...

In which case your restore system becomes your "secure production standby" server...

Look up the network effect.
Any filesystem which doesn't have universal availability is useless for this purpose. FAT works everywhere.

Cos of course information technology runs on fairy dust.
E.g.
A housing developer builds houses, but rarely actually does the bricklaying himself, he gets a bricklayer to do that.
it's exactly the same for applications; programmers are the equivalent of bricklayers.

Because banks and bankers are pillars of society...
140 on one might be 160 on the other.
Percentage is more useful, course you should also include the margin for error in the test as well.
Which makes CPU power a problem...
Good luck with your truck battery.

Y'know big block of concrete.
Just a small thing really, but it's conveniently forgotten by those who want to take on the scientific mantle.
If it is not testable it is not science.
"it's that Facebook represents itself as secure and private to its users"
They do?
The problem is the subsequent bank money multiplication.
