A compressor on a refrigerator lasts a very long time too, 20 to 30 years or more. One of the most reliable things out there. The biggest problem with refrigerators is the hinges and door seals wearing out.
Olympic Events have always been rearranged when on a Tape delay, I expect it, and why not ?
It is not even displayed in correct order when it's hosted in the USA.
The old internet will never die, it will become like newsgroups are today but with more graphics. The New internet will be an additional network that will coexist with the present internet.

The Internet, A network barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic internet. GENI will be that internet. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, harder, deeper, faster.
you need to look at the Color Temperature when you buy CFL bulbs. A CFL rated at 2700 degrees Color Temperature will look almost exactly like an incandescent light. A CT of 3000 degrees is called a warm white and is very pleasing. A CT of 4000 is called a cool white and looks a little bit blue. And a CT of 5000 degrees or more is about the same color as Sunlight and appears to be very blue indoors.
I really like the color you get when a 2700 & 5000 degree light are in the same fixture, everything looks bright and colorful.
The article says that the LED lighting is equaling the efficiency of Fluorescent lighting, But if you look around for LED Efficiency you will find that LED lights are very much less efficient than Florescent lights. I believe they were more talking about a cheaper way to make LED lighting, but it's not any more efficient.
When I was in school I learned that our government is a system of Checks And Balances. What the article is telling me is that the Telcom bill is removing all of that as unnecessary.
You could take the heat out of the air while compressing it into the caves, then when you let the air out you would make power and get Air Conditioning too.
The article goes on to say that the curtains can be placed on the roof too. From the Article...
==Kennedy and her team have calculated that by covering just 10 percent of a roof area in Porto, Portugal, solar curtains could provide as much as 70 percent of the average electricity used by a typical household each day.==
This article said many things that made it sound totally stupid.
I think that Gravity Probe B has the most perfect spheres and they are much smaller that the Kilogram sphere.
Kilogram Silicon Spheres
"If you were to blow up our spheres to the size of the Earth, you would see a small ripple in the smoothness of about 12 to 15 mm, and a variation of only 3 to 5 metres in the roundness"

"If these ping pong-sized balls of fused quartz and silicon were the size of the Earth, the elevation of the entire surface would vary by no more than 12 feet"

I will keep an eye out for more information about this article . . .
It really isn't very useful without a GPS Unit. How else would they map out their new Findings ?
I really want one, so what is the first step . . . Oh Yeah, Steal a shopping cart ?
The News Conference is on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at 2 p.m. EDT, but it's not on TV, it's streaming audio from Here...

I thought there needed to be more discussions about it before making a Change to Constitutional Amendments ?
Yes, it would be cool to Slashdot our senators . . .

It would be kinda cool to have amperage measurements from every single Circuit Breaker in the box, and logged over time too
My instantaneous reaction is . . . Caverns Leak . . .

I sure would like to have 1000 Coors
Sure it would be nice to have 1000 cores in the CPU but it would suck if they were all 386sx 16mhz.
No user with 512 cores will need more than 640k of memory for each core.
We will be scanning the CPU for Bad Cores, Instead of scanning the Hard Drive for Bad Sectors.
