Nonsense. The Nokia 3310 is notoriously resilient, but its Achilles' Heel is that it's obsolete. Same applies to every other phone ever released, Gorilla Glass or not.
Given that data centers are basically big electric heaters doing some number crunching along the way, might be sensible to put them in cold climates rather than hot, so a) it's easier to dump all the heat generated and b) that heat has some practical uses.
10 terabytes? The entropy for the entire human body is about 700 megabytes as per DNA, surely there must be a lower order of complexity than that in the brain?
Not at all, but it turns out the solution is not just providing food aid either. Something is very wrong somewhere. And sorry for swears in OP, but overpopulation is my hot button.
Well, half right. FLAC is basically lossless CELP, i.e. a LPC based first-pass at modelling a whitened version of the signal in the time domain, then a second pass in the frequency domain to mop up the residual errors left behind. With CELP (Speex etc) this second stage is incomplete/lossy, with FLAC it is lossless.
According to Wikipedia at least, the Haswell architecture will include a die-shrink in the PCH (Northbridge) chipset from 65nm to 32nm, so this issue is avoided I think.
They've got so much cheap compact compute horsepower to play with, it's almost obscene. 2048-wide FFT? In my day you would be overjoyed with a simple time-domain autocorrelation pitch detector.

We should not have to tell organisations to think twice, before outsourcing vital services to companies who offer to work for free.

"You know what they do with engineers when they turn 40? They take them out and shoot them."
Possibly so, but that mirrors Japan with it's low immigration.
If I had mod points you'd get them. This is the kind of interesting stuff that keep me visiting /.
Karl Pilkington is up for it.

Clearly they were working on a fishing vessel to go out trolling for engineers. (And quite successfully too it seems)
Classic Rube Goldberg machine. "You know that story about how NASA spent millions designing a pen that could write in space?..."
I don't understand why efficiency is so important - $/W seems a much more important measure, given that arid land area is cheap and sunlight is free.
If you want to understand how houses in general work though, it's better to study those blueprints than the color of the counter-tops in the kitchen.

Makes sense. If it flies, floats or flux, always rent it.
Are they trying to win the 2013 Ig Nobel prize or something?

Looks like Live Aid is proving to be a fucking disaster over the long term.
Bismuth is very slightly radioactive, not sure I'd trust memory that is generating it's own bit-rot via alpha decay.

"supercapacitor, a gizmo that can pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its charge for a long time"
Ah, Not really, no. Supercapacitor=1Mj/KG, pretty weak sauce relatively speaking.
Personally, I'm, holding out for a 'Doug Stanhope' phone with an ethanol fuel cell than 'runs on booze'.
You're missing the point. The summary describes it as a 'Software Defined Network Network', a true innovation.

(Lawn, etc...)
What does that make Wind River then?
Energy density:
Carbohydrate: 17 MJ/Kg
Lithium battery: (non-rechargable): 1.8MJ/Kg
Lithium battery: (rechargable): 0.75MJ/Kg
So until the power source gets a bit more 'organic' I guess it will remain tethered.
You're missing the point. PV modules are expensive, plants are free.
