Uh, this is more like using actuary tables to predict your likelyhood of having an accident and adjusting your rates based on that statistic model. It can probably be used to sort kids into things like soft first time offenders programs, bootcamps, or juvenile detention.
Ding Ding Ding, this is the answer. I leave the debit card at home unless I am making an infrequent trip to an ATM. Direct deposit and online banking mean it's only when I'm paying my massage therapist or going to a restaurant I know doesn't take cards (less common every year) that I need cash.
Just disable jnlp file association, we have a number of third party websites that require a specific version of java to function (I'm looking at you ADP etime) and so we can't just upgrade to the newest version. The workaround is to remove the JNLP file association from the registry which leads IE to prompt to download the file instead of automatically running it.
You measure it with PUE. Google has zero incentive to drive towards an inefficient solution, they just want to be free to come up with newer, better solutions to obtain efficiency.
Uh, 400W would be severely limiting. I'm in the process of replacing almost all of my current datacenter with a VM environment and I'm using boxes that have 750W power supplies to do it, but I'm using 7 of them to replace 160 servers drawing ~300W each so my total efficiency is going WAY up. That is why we say leave the details to those of us who do this for a living and just set an efficiency target rather than prescribing specific technologies.
Nah, that problem was solved ages ago. I worked on a project 6 or 7 years ago where we replaced a secondary computer and a KVM at each desktop with a ram upgrade and MS Virtual PC. The application was a multistate rate computation program for mortgages and if they had re-written it they would have had to recertify it in each state, projected cost of the rewrite was approaching $10M.
You can do it with contracts that pay for milestones and have big backout penalties. That's the way Constellation was done and one of the reasons it's going to cost a couple Billion to get nothing. It's probably closer to a fair system than either cash upfront or pay when it's finished.
Uh, yeah being able to have Pandora in the background, able to be controlled even when the phone is locked is SUCH an esoteric feature. And I'm sure noone would ever want to be able to receive an incoming Skype call when Skype wasn't the currently open app. I think it is YOU who are the idiot....
Nope, the iPhone data plans are the only non-capped plan out there AFAIK, even for corporate data plans. The announced enterprise features mean we will probably be getting some requests for iPhones for senior management before the end of the summer, previously we could easily deflect these by saying that they weren't secure or manageable. Now, there's little reason not to use them if the employee is comfortable doing text entry on the iPhone.
Delta IV vehicles can launch payloads weighing from 4,300 kg (9,480 lb) to 12,980 kg (28,620 lb) to GTO, and can lift over 23,000 kg (50,000 lbs.) to LEO.link
The LEO numbers aren't as firm as the numbers I've seen elsewhere but the GTO numbers are much closer to my numbers than yours. I'd assume that the heavy payload duty for US launches will shift to the Delta-IV now that we no longer have the Shuttle to perform heavy lifts.
Falcon-9 Heavy is another interesting lifter in that the $/lb to LEO is about 1/3rd the cost of other launchers, will be very interesting to see if it is ever built, and if they can hit their pricing target.
They just built a 400k sq ft datacenter over in NJ, mostly hoping to attract these sorts of trading systems. As to what kind of square footage they have on Wall St, I have no idea.

FOIA requests should make it possible to track the reliability is someone wants to put in the effort.
Sure, or at least same class (like Misdemeanor II, Felony III, etc).
Sure you can, the entire insurance industry is based on doing just that.

HSBC is actually a UK chartered bank originally HQ'd in Hong Kong before the return of the territory to China, it has been HQ'd in London since 1993.

Wait till they ship a model to europe that has the wifi part limited to ETSI power and frequency limits.

Hehe, Fluorinert which was used to cool the Cray-2 is also used as a blood plasma substitute so I guess it's possible =)
Only applicable if you have a sentient machine, that's a LONG way off if the progress of AI over the last half century is any indicator.
Uh, because having a humaoid robot means you don't have to design a mission specific robot each time.

Blackberry, almost all the current phones support H.264 acceleration.

Uh, the original Macintosh was pretty damn interesting....
Tons of apps still use it, ADP payroll time system is one that's pretty popular.

Delta IV Heavy is 28t to LEO and 14.5t to GTO
Uh, yeah, even at twice the price it's still a small fraction of what it would cost to do Constellation so it still makes economic sense.
