The problem isn't the cost of the fuel, it's the cost and lost opportunities from the long supply train. Most non-lopsided battles aren't determined by who has the better equipment or even the better soldiers but by who has the better quartermaster.
Sounds like the nanny state is extending across the former empire. We all know the Indians are even more prudish than us Americans, the Aussies appear to be bowing to the idea that a game can be too violent for an ADULT to play, what's next the Canadians deciding drinking is too much fun and that it keeps people from serious work? The Puritans may have died out as an organized religion but the harm they have done to the western world is pretty endemic.
From what I've read OS/2's LFN support was even more of a hack then DOS's, they basically added a dot file with the LFN that your app had to be designed to support. I admit the my personal experience was playing with early Warp builds and years later dropping a VM on a bunch of machines to retire a couple thousand secondary desktops running the last IBM release of OS/2.
I guess you have a reading comprehension disorder: unless you are doing some kind of higher level checks between nodes...I am not aware of any off the shelf solution that accomplishes it. Yes if you are Google and have hundreds of millions of dollars a year in really smart people working for you it is possible to use cheap commodity parts and still have data integrity, the vast, vast majority of IT shops do NOT have that. If someone is asking Slashdot how to do backups they do NOT have that ability.
Redundancy is NOT data integrity unless you are doing some kind of higher level checks between nodes. Yes that can be accomplished but I am not aware of any off the shelf solution that accomplishes it. For only a couple % more per node you could get a real server class board with ECC and when combined with running ZFS be relatively assured of data integrity. Running without ECC and using SATA drives in that quantity without a check-summed file system is a guaranteed recipe for silent data corruption.
The Rackblaze hardware is trash, if you care at all about data integrity you would run away from it very fast. For not much more get a system with ECC and an ECC bus and use ZFS.
It IS? Because I could swear that this says the PDF is $82.50 for non-members, the same price as the print edition. My public library didn't have ANY edition of the NEC available and there were no current editions in the entire 5 county area (ok I just re-checked the entire Cleveland Public Library system and there are now a few 2008 editions available but all are marked reference and so non-transferable between branches).
What do you call the inclusion of the NEC into basically every codified ordinance in the country? It's a Copyrighted work that is included by reference into laws nationwide. It's just an example I happen to be intimately familiar with as I did some home wiring work that the inspector said was not up to section such and such of the NEC 2006 edition. I asked him where I could look up such section and he told me I would have to buy a complete copy of the NEC at a cost of $82.50 as he was not allowed to copy it for me. I'm far from poor but even I balked at paying that kind of money to access a law which I was expected to follow. My choices were to either break the law by not passing inspection, pay someone with access to the text, or purchase the text myself. I see little distinction between that scenario and a poll tax.
I think the hard part would be in "enough", how do you heat it enough to depolymerize the matrix without heating it enough to get near/past the flash point of the resulting fuel? I'm assuming it would have to be done in an oxygen free environment at least.
Hmm, you just made my day. My dad's aunt has pictures she took of the Buddhas that she took shortly after the Russians retreated (quite an adventuresome lady she is). I'll ask her if she can make copies from her negatives and mail them to me so I can scan them in hopes that someone performs such a project.
496 cores isn't all that much, with HT enabled a 1U server can hold 16 cores so a 42U rack can hold 672 cores, blade servers are even more dense. The budget for most midsized IT departments probably has room for a few compute clusters of that size.
The Supreme Court ruled that poll taxes were illegal because it disenfranchised the poor, I see applying Copyright to laws or legal publications of the state to be the exact same thing.
This particular instance might not actually be the law but there are plenty of instances where standardized laws have been written by trade groups and then implemented by multiple states, if you look for a copy of the law it says see publication xyz which you can't find a copy of without spending $$$ for because it's under copyright. It's all the same mentality where the government thinks it's ok to keep things to themselves, it's absolutely not. If this was the work product of that agency then it was paid for by the citizens, if it was the work product of a firm hired by the agency it's the same deal, and if it's boilerplate from some 3rd party then if it's used under license by the government agency should make it completely open. A good example of such shenanigans is the national electric code, if you want to legally modify the wiring in your home in most jurisdictions then you need to follow it but it is only available for $82 from NFPA which is just wrong.
How can the law which every citizen expected to comply with be allowed to exist under Copyright? How can keeping us from copying the law possibly be an advancement of the sciences and useful arts? Once it becomes law it is no longer a creative work and is now a fact, a fact which is by its very nature that which least deserves to be kept from the public.
These systems are a small drop in the bucket for either company, no one is spending billions to buy a company over some boxes that probably sell in the double digits per month at most. The motivation is that Sun has lots of large government contracts and big business wins yet was executing extremely poorly and so was valued very low by the market. Oracle figured they could manage the assets better and so they took so money out of their cash reserves and bought Sun.
Your cool kids aren't Oracle's target market. No one really cares too much if their last update to Facebook dies because the shared key mechanism died and they had to restore from backup, people really care a LOT if their paycheck doesn't get cut or their last deposit goes poof.
Regulation of all monopolies is equally important. By definition market forces will not be able to counteract a monopoly because if the market forces were functioning correctly the monopoly would never have occurred.
The same outsources plants that produce the goods just do a second run at night to produce grey market versions. Microsoft found this out after finding perfect counterfeit copies of their software that were only distinguished by having serial numbers that were never activated in their database, the plants that were producing packaging and holograms for their official packing were making exact duplicates for the counterfeiters.

Bank of America and PNC both offer 2 factor authentication.

Probably a big air cannon with sabot sheathing around the bullets.

Hmm, DLL and 8.3, has to be OS/2, right?
Sounds like "shared source" just like Windows has been for a while.
There's still lots of video toaster systems used in the TV/video industry that are running AmigaOS.
DOS/FreeDOS are used extensively for BIOS patching though single user mode Linux boot cd's are fairly common as well.
