Don't use a ballpoint, duh. Rollerballs work fine on napkins (I just tested mine on 3 different types of napkins I have at my desk and it wrote just fine with no tearing or bleeding).
Not if you use a snow rake to remove the snow from the bottom couple feet of the roof, then you get increased melting and no snow dams (I'd still take the lower energy bill during the summer as only once was I glad to have the snow melt quickly, when we got back to back 4+' snowfalls).
You know what, the way to route around this damage is to include a caching resolver with the browser (and peer to peer client, ftp client, etc) so that even users without any technical knowledge can be free of this stupidity. Sure, your DNS times will go up by a few tens of ms but that's better than relying on utterly broken infrastructure.
In addition googlebot follows noindex and nocache in robots.txt so if they don't want their content to be included that's their choice without involving lawyers. Heck, if they want it indexed but no summaries to show up (and thus exclude the results from the news feed I assume) they could use the nonstandard nosnippet tag that googlebot will follow.
Uh, the roadster is very much based on the outgoing Elise chassis. See here and here. Notice in the first link The Product will be derived from the federal market LOTUS Elise platform.

Even when I was unemployed for 7 months I never dropped below $1k in my checking account, but mine actually has no minimum balance (for now, if Congress and the fed squeeze the banks enough they might impose one).
I've had a checking accounts for 17 years and never once paid any fees for them, if you are paying tons of fees you are either impoverished or seriously mismanaging your finances (or both).
No, they don't. The fed clearing house for ACH payments has I believe a 4 hour SLA. Now if the bank on either end takes an additional day to batch process the results that's their problem. I guess that's kind of the point of the article though, instead of doing one batch run at night the banks are going to doing what most other sane businesses do today which is real time processing. Interestingly electronic check images from vendors almost always process the next day for this very reason, the submit them to the clearing house and they get processed that night.
One interesting thing is that despite have a huge amount of overcapacity for electrical generation the Enterprise really couldn't use it because there was very little spare distribution capacity outside of redundant paths to key systems. The Ford class carriers have not only spare capacity but also tons of distribution capability design to avoid obsolescence by enabling next generation point defense systems.
Probably the best use of funds would be for human intelligence officers who can get reliable information to those in power. The cheapest war is the one you never fight.
Tactical nukes WERE the primary defense for western Europe during the cold war. The plan was to stop the advance of any Russian armor column by nuking them, blowing up the motherland wouldn't have halted the slaughter of Europe under the wave of conventional forces that were predicted and Europe couldn't afford a large enough standing army to stop it either (well neither could Russia, but they thought they could).
Huh, China holds $1.1T in treasury securities and only $5B in T-Bills (down from $120B a few years ago). They'd have to increase their investment by 1400% to have an ownership equal to GDP which would take 3 years of their entire 2010 GDP to do it.
Per unit or per line? I have no doubt that as a line it was a bust due to the huge R&D cost and small run, but I doubt they lost money on each unit sold.
They can no longer get chassis from Lotus because Lotus updated their design and Tesla isn't going to redesign and recertify such a low volume car when their resources can better be used on the S and providing engineering resources to their OEM customers. The company is not going to fold because they are no longer producing a small number of fairly low profit cars. The roadster was always meant to be a technology demonstration and engineering research platform that just happened to bring in some revenue.
What happens when they aren't subservient is you end up with generals taking over the country by force, leading to MANY more civilian and military deaths.
Sorry but I'm a big fan of the military being subservient to the elected civilian head of government. If the president gives an illegal order it is up to the supreme court or the Congress through impeachment to challenge it, not the military.
We're what I'd call non-trivial (240VM's today, up from a handful 18 months ago) and yes a $100k licensing upgrade cost to utilize the exact same resources we have today is VERY significant, plus it increases ongoing costs because you have to pay subscription and support on all those additional licenses. To put that in perspective it's more than 1/4th the cost of our entire farm including hardware with 5 years 24x7 6 hour support, Microsoft licensing, and existing VMWare licensing. All for what amounts to a fairly minor bump in features, that's not a good ROI no matter how you look at it.
I'm already at 72GB/CPU physical which means to actually use my existing hardware I'd be paying 225% of my current licensing, and my boxes are tame compared to some configurations like R910 with only dual CPU's but lots of ram or IBM x5 with the memory expander or Cisco UCS with their big memory configuration. My favorite slide was new bigger guests supported (1TB of ram!), with my snide comment of "if you can afford the $112k in licensing just for that VM". I'd say the best compromise probably would have been 128GB per Enterprise license which is equivilant to what you get with Enterprise in ESX 4 with dual CPU's and the 256GB licensing limit. They'd still sell additional licenses as people buy bigger hosts and virtualize bigger workloads. That's actually what I'm going to recommend when I talk to my rep, because I know VMWare is getting an earful today over this BS.

It wasn't *that* small a run, they sold more cars last year than Lotus did!

Hahaha, that first one won't stand up to scrutiny, the Blackberry was doing auto phone number recognition before the first iPhone was even conceived.

I was following a lawful order is in fact a defense under the UCMJ.

Most insightful comment on Slashdot in a LONG time!

It's a contraction of death knell and nail in the coffin that I picked up from some short story I read years ago.
Actually S3 has the same failure domains as EC2 unless you pay $$$$$ for multizone replication.
