Wow - it really is amazing how different people like different temps. I generally work in shorts and a short sleeved polo shirt, and find my office far too warm (usually over 75). At 81 I would be completely unproductive as I would be (even in low humidity situations) mopping my forehead any feeling rather uncomfortable. I need a fan in my office (cube) to keep the air exchanging with the hall and what not since the whole air system was poorly designed - when I enter in the morning my cube is already several degrees above the ones next to me.
Just for reference, I am about 6' tall/ 175lbs and can run a 5k in 20 minutes... I am not suffering from the heat due to extra layers of subcutaneous insulation. I just have a different internal thermostat setting from some. My son is the same way as I am. My wife is the opposite. What is comfortable for her is too hot for me, and what works for me is too cold for her.
65 would be great, 68-70 would be more than reasonable, I would think, given that it is always easier to put on another layer to keep warmer than... well, nobody wants an office of naked engineers and computer scientists all stuck to their chairs...

Yeah, apartments are more efficient if you look at the use for just that unit (though there are a lot of other costs associated with the common building facilities (halls, exterior lighting, sometimes water heating, etc.) and such that you don't see. A big one is if you have an electric clothes dryer in the home/apt vs going to a laundry room/laundrymat. Those can use a lot of power.
A three person family in a 1500 sq ft house would not be an uncommon part of the average, and in that case you have a couple of extra rooms, plus more external exposure (the apartment walls are usually shared on a few sides, so the individual unit isn't losing/gaining heat as rapidly on those surfaces.
Just as an aside on the contaminants issue (not to pick on your post, OG)- you should be able to find out about your local water quality. Example of a PDF for Rochester, MN water quality report. Can't say I get those with a case of Dasani, Aquafina, or Evian, though the labels of some do list all of the non-water that they add in (magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium silicoaluminate, dextrose, potassium iodine and sodium bicarbonate among others).
Honesty, if you don't like the taste of your tap water, a home filter or filter pitcher works well, and is way cheaper than bottled water. Just buy a sports bottle or camping bottle and refill it... oh well.
Well, what is the humidity like in your area? In many parts of MN, the average humidity during the mornings can be ~80%. 77 degrees is only comfortable for me if the humidity is at/below ~40%. Heck, 70 is nasty if it is up at 80+% RH. There are a lot of days where that is the case here. If it were 30% RH outside all the time, I'd have my windows open a lot more. That and the 85+ degrees days (it isn't Texas heat, but still significant). Basement dehumidifiers and A/C to pull all of that water out of the air adds up quickly.
Oh... wait. I've used Notes from 4.5 through the current version... just remember - Notes is a database interaction UI that happens to allow e-mail as a side-effect.
Yup, on the same physical machine you can run AIX, Linux and i5/OS (formerly OS/400) all in native partitions while running the internal Windows Integration (PC server on a PCI card), external xSeries servers connected via either iSCSI or the iSeries/pSeries chassis interconnect (HSL).
I'm biased, because I've been part of the development team for the PCI server cards as well as the iSCSI solution just recently realeased.
Um... there are plenty of used Corollas, Jettas, Civics, Escorts and the like out there with a bunch of miles on them that all still get 30+ MPG and cost only a small amount especially relative to new vehicles. There are a number of useful, gas sipping vehicles that can be found on carsoup or an equivalent site for $2k or less.
Really, it isn't like the words "We'll run the strawman up the flagpole and check in with the stakeholders, and take an action item to leverage the synergistic coalition that was brought forward after our last level set"
Of course, given the small number of districts, and Nebraska's tendency to vote close to 80% Republican, neither have ever split.
This would likely make a bigger difference in states that have large urban populations as well as rural areas (think Pensylvania, where Pittsburgh and Philly were "blue" and most of the rest of the state was "red" - check out this map.
Well, though my T42p is capable (2GHz, 2GB RAM), it isn't nearly an X2 4400+ and the number of laptops with 1GB or less of RAM and 1.2-1.6GHz processors are quite prevalent, especially since these are the most commonly sold new ones... not quite old hardware. Just different.
There's no excuse for wasting tons of space that isn't specifically needed for performance. There's no excuse for slow performance unless you are working very hard at saving space. Wasting space and slow performance both is either bad design or lazy.
Some servers have had battery backup units in them - a more common solution are rackmount UPSs. This removes all of the power coversion heat from the server chassis itself, allowing more 1U/2U/4U style items (as well as things like a BladesCenter) while keeping the UPS localized to a rack (where the power cables should be secured and not easily knocked out) as well as easing battery replacement while the servers are still up.
Once you get into the higher end servers, you start to see the PSUs separate from the computing complexes separate from the I/O complexes anyway.
A $120 case/PSU is far from the lowest end. You can get a "450W Power Supply Mid Tower ATX Case W/ AMD and P4 Compatible front USB 2.0 and Audio 6bay aluminum P4 (Beige) midtower atx" for ~$30 and free shipping. Will the power supply have been put together with scrap wire by child labor in Elbonia? Perhaps. Will the case have sharp edges and rattle? Entirely possible, but there is almost $100 you just "overspent". (Check Pricewatch for several examples)
Many brand new laptops and desktops (check a Best Buy/ComUSA ad) are shipping with 256MB of memory, not 512. That's $15 for PC3200 DDR (this is a value box, remember) $25 for some others, including DDR2. ($25 after shipping at newegg, cheaper can be found on pricewatch)
A celeron D can be had for less than $50 from Newegg.
A 80GB HD can easily be found for ~$50 rather than $60. (NE)
So.. $30 Case/PSU + $50CPU + $80MB + $15 RAM + $50 HDD + $20 DVD/CD ends up at $245 (plus really, a mouse and keyboard would be nice, so we'll say $260). That is still far less than your $400 estimate, though over the $200 mark. I'm sure a few more dollars could be saved with a cheaper motherboard, as well...
Such is the fun of cheap consumer-level boards where each PCI slot isn't individually resettable or powerable. If the option existed to to a PCI RST to just that slot, you'd have a pretty good chance of being able to get out of that scenario without the reboot, and if the slot could be powered off and on, you'd be almost guaranteed. Of course, that kind of function costs real money to design and build, but it is the rule for server backplanes.
If your queue is unbounded (really a linked list), that could be avoided. What is functionally a queue doesn't always have to be a contiguous queue in memory.
Are you suggesting that there is a large difference in the nutrition between Grade A and Grade AA eggs? If the yolk doesn't stand up as high, I don't think this is an indication that a grade A or B egg is nowhere near as healthy as a Grade AA egg...
Fresh vegetables / fruit compared to canned/frozen/in some sugary syrupy sauce is another issue, but I don't think medium (or even low) grade eggs are what is "killing us".
However, Egglands Best are better than the average egg in nutrition in many ways... those are generally Grade A, not AA. They do cost a lot more than the normal store brand eggs.
We use to run PRO/E on the RS/6000s (AIX), Sun workstations (SunOS), and AIXTerm thin clients, too (much pain in that one, though). This was in the mid 1990s
Well, from the article, the main part of this is a Blue Gene system (57.3 Teraflops according to the article).... so looking at http://top500.org/lists/2005/11/TOP10_Nov2005.pdf that would put it in 4th place... if you add the Hitachi flogs in there.... 4th place.
The new Passats (keyless entry and fob ignition) have a backup mechanical key (hidden in the fob) - there are no visible external keyslots on the car, but you can pop off a cover and use the backup key to enter. I would imagine the new Jetta has the same sytem.
