What part of your proposal is fairy magic until someone builds a lab specimen showing this theoretical capacity and then turns it into an actual product do you not understand?
Nope, they won't have greater range, at least with anything so far developed, the recent research study that showed they could build a graphene supercapacitor showed density similar to the bottom end of lead-acid batteries, nowhere near Lion, let alone gasoline or diesel.
bah, why not a dual socket chip? Why can't I get the best single core performance in something that actually makes sense to license (ie VMWare and MS both license based on two sockets per server minimum).
The former A123 Holland Michigan plant is sitting almost idle right now AFAIK, and the LG plant in Michigan just started production, not sure what percentage of global supply those two plants represent but since both were target at electric vehicles from the big 3 you have to assume they're significant capacity.
3.6GHz base clock is the fastest we've had since the last generation P4's, and with the obviously superior IPC of the IB this thing's going to be a monster for certain workloads where the code doesn't scale well to multiple cores. The only downside is it's not 8 cores/16 threads at those speeds which is a bummer for virtualization hosts. Oh well, the E5-2670's at 2.6GHz do a pretty good job =)
In the paypal use case they could use it to take an internal image and burst it quickly into a cloud provider to scale up their capacity as they see demand spiking beyond what their internal resources can accommodate (not saying they are doing this, just that it's a possible application). For a typical enterprise it's useful to allow on demand lab creation for developers, snapshot the current production machines and generate an isolated sandbox that accurately mirrors the production environment. Automated unit testing is another popular use of API driven provisioning. If you can't find a use for automation in your environment it's either too small to qualify (I'm in this boat, we're fairly big at over 300 VM's at our main site but still too small for much automation) or you're not thinking outside your current box.
FTFA: "From the minute developers finish final QA in our dev space, they have 15 minutes to be live in front of customers on the PayPal website," Carlson said. "That means they put their innovation on the VM, they put the operating system on it, they put the app on it, they put on a load balancer, they fix the firewalls and its up."
and
The scalability of the OpenStack platform also offered a crucial advantage for when PayPal is forced to cope with sudden spikes in traffic.
"When [parent company] eBay has a free listing week, they don't necessarily pre-warn us at PayPal, but by the end of that week all of the payments suddenly flood in," said Carlson. "So our volume scales up in one day and goes away the next day."
It's a collection of open source API's for the management and automation of virtual machines at scale. It can be used with a number of hypervisors including VMWare vsphere, Xen, KVM, Hyper-V and a few others.
Once an area has been upgraded to Network Vision data rates are fine, I got 15278 down 8673 up on one of the first 4g cells to go live in my market the other day (we're legacy Motorola so we're fairly late for a major market and only a few isolated cells have been turned up)
The Sprint owned MVNO's are basically the same as T-Mobile, you buy the phone up front and pay a significantly reduced monthly cost $35/45/55 for Virgin Mobile (300/1200/unlimited minutes with 2.5GB of data and unlimited SMS/MMS)
A random LTE device is unlikely to work with Sprint anyways, they're the only people doing LTE on band 25 (1900g) according to a quick google check. Their 800MHz band 26 deployment will give them much better coverage but it's not going to help any with phone selection unless the band 20 processors for Europe are built to include band 26 as well.
MS innovates, just slowly. I wish more of these guys ideas got turned into products each year, if they did MS probably wouldn't have the reputation they do of a stoggy business only company.
Russia is blocking any movement in the U.N. so the US will go in with NATO and Arab League consensus, not every action we take has to be blessed by the UN, we still have sovereignty despite what the tinfoil hat brigade thinks. As far as seeking permission from Congress, all he has to do is notify Congress within 48 hours of sending troops and for them to be in country for less than 60 days without a declaration of war.
TPM is nothing more than a hardware keystore, I'm not sure how they'd see it as a security risk unless they're worried that the NSA has the MS signing key's private key (probable) but even then it doesn't exactly give you worse security than other OS's without access to a hardware keystore.
Yep, lots of guys put snorkel air intakes on their jeeps and go through rivers, without a PCV system the only other place for water to enter a running engine is through the gas cap which can't be water/air tight because you'd cause a vacuum that your fuel pump could never pull against.

The Volt has a much smaller pack (17kwh vs 85) since it can fall back on the ICE for extended range.

2 memory channels makes it not very useful for my purposes but it is in fact slightly faster =)

My buddies turbo coup cougar was like that, you had to switch it to kph to get accurate speed above 85, though it topped out around 110 anyways.

Thanks for the early morning chuckle.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 actually says:
(a) In the absence of a declaration of war, in any case in which United States Armed Forces are introduced—
...
(2) into the territory, airspace or waters of a foreign nation
I'm not sure where cruise missiles or drones would fit into that definition since they aren't members of the armed forces.
Btw the war powers act was a different bill that allowed for the expansion of presidential power in the leadup to world war 2.
Russia is blocking any movement in the U.N. so the US will go in with NATO and Arab League consensus, not every action we take has to be blessed by the UN, we still have sovereignty despite what the tinfoil hat brigade thinks. As far as seeking permission from Congress, all he has to do is notify Congress within 48 hours of sending troops and for them to be in country for less than 60 days without a declaration of war.
Yeah, it's a software problem of some sort, no way it's anything hardware related.
Nope, since a VM can't talk to the TPM there's no way they'd require it at the OS level, way too many enterprise customers do VDI today.
Except it's horrible, there's nothing remote about TPM, it does absolutely nothing to communicate with the outside world.
TPM is nothing more than a hardware keystore, I'm not sure how they'd see it as a security risk unless they're worried that the NSA has the MS signing key's private key (probable) but even then it doesn't exactly give you worse security than other OS's without access to a hardware keystore.
Warranties I've seen typically state 90% at 10 years and 80% at 25 years.
Try 12%, 1% per month and since wind is similar that means those two renewables account for ~1/4th of all electric use in Germany.
