But, if you build a new one instead of repairing the old telescope, you get:
1) New technology, which will help you take more pictures faster and observe more.
Plus, by launch time a Longhorn beta will be available as the telescope's OS.

Now, Walker never actually did this but Walker did make his money developing and selling AutoCAD, which is a manufacturing industry staple, so he does have some credibility.
As far as I can determine, Walker did not have an engineering or technical drawing background prior to starting Autodesk.

A Honda Civic is more reliable than a Ferrari because it has less moving parts and is mass produced...
Have you looked at the design of a lowly Honda engine? Don't they all have 4 valves per cylinder, overhead camshafts, variable valve timing and aluminum block and heads?
Thanks for the advice. I custom specify (well, with advice from vendors) all my computers and wouldn't get him a Dell or other clone machine.
Off on a tangent: there's a vendor here in Canada that advertises heavily on TV and they denigrate "clone computers". Funny how the marketing terminology evolves isn't it.
Anyway, I want to stay away from proprietary "non-clonish" motherboards and give him the most flexible system possible at the lowest price. I can't really afford to replace the whole system 6 months later and I want him to appreciate the concept of upgrading.
Come to think of it, you've given me a great idea: I'm going to buy the parts all seperately and let him assemble them with my help so that he learns about hardware.
If you know the subject matter, know the people you're dealing with and have a broad, deep enough knowledge base in the specific field (and are not financially motivated for get-rich-quick gain), it can work. Or are you saying that innovation only happens via blind luck, pure ignorant brilliance or religious belief?
Maybe the real problem is people who think they know more than they actually do and are too arrogant to admit what they don't know. Known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, etc.. Yup, "unknown knowns" is a big joke now due to popular ridicule of a seemingly nonsensical concept, but just read the link above and learn.
Think about it a bit - if you know what you want to accomplish but are unsure about the details of getting there you have to realize what you don't know, right?
... the typical non-amateur 'porn star' is so over-inflated and made-up that they bear no more resemblance to the average woman than the average man does.
Also, don't forget that the size of male members in all these porn pictures/videos is the work of CGI and prosthetics - there is no such thing as an "average" of 6.5 inches. This size fallacy is based on measuring the erect penii of males willing to be measured - how many of those could there be? It's pretty obvious that Short Dick Joe won't show up to be measured and there's about 5 guys worldwide with 16 foot-longers that skew the average.
There, I've said it. Now I feel better about my 3" erect appendage and you should, too. Wouldn't it be nice if I could get discreet, private information about how to feel more manly?
My site has been #1 (and sometimes #2 as well - it is currently occupying both spots) with Google for a couple of years if you plug in "piping design" (without the quotes).
I don't sell stuff except for relevant, relatively cheap advertising, promo stuff through CafePress and AdSense, but do make maybe $100/year from commission on books bought via an afilliate relationship.
Maybe the subject matter is too esoteric for drastically increased page views, maybe Google considers the site as a good meta site for the subject matter, maybe having the search words as part of the domain name helps a lot, maybe I've done a good job with keywords and content, maybe...
What's odd is that my #2 Google results listing changes every few months to a page that has not necessarily been updated recently and the "Advertise Here" page is often in the #2 Google ranking. Perhaps Larry and/or Sergey have a secret appreciation for we who design refineries and other piping-related stuff.
Are there inexpensive, reliable integrated-chip MBs that can be easily upgraded? I'm about to buy a computer for my 14 year-old son and it would it be nice to be able to toss in a really nice 3D card and CPU later. That is, assuming he first proves that he's using the initial low-grade setup effectively for homework.
Yeah, I could do the research myself but I'm looking for experienced advice.
As for me, I'll take an Almighty God (as long as he lets me)
No kidding; I figure any God could take you any day (assuming s/he wasn't out late partying the night before), so letting you win would obviously be the result of, "meh, I'll take care of revery on Sunday when all the other wrestling is on and I'm not so busy".
...may not have been able to fully comprehend exactly how much damage could have been done.
That is the key to trying people as adults or children, did they know what they did was wrong, and did they realize the consequences of their actions
This is why many big time spammers/spyware authors have a carefully-crafted public persona as being innocent morons and dupes (maybe also having rah-rah, pro-business, freedom of speech facades). It helps when it comes to court time. "Gee, your honor, I was just trying to fulfill the American Dream, please pity me. The fanatic prosecution is trying to kill business innovation."
I've only ever used the machine with AutoCAD (overkill, really) but I might be installing PDS and Design Review.
My experience with digitizing old VHS tape of my son two years ago was that I couldn't touch anything while the process was happening. Perhaps everything wasn't configured properly and now that I think back the problem might have been with converting the avi files to another format.
Me too. I'm not moving to dual Opterons until Windows and more applications are 64 bit/multi-threaded. Overall, I've found dual CPUs to be a bit overrated but I don't use the machine as a server, just for lower level CAD as the most stressful use. Dual CPUs won't help while digitizing video (I.E., you won't be able to do something else while it happens).
I believe that this refers to the ability to "stack" the cores together...
I think Intel might be partnering with old fart HP calculator engineers and going back to Reverse Polish Notation. No, wait...Carly would never allow that. Free* printers for all!

if a truck suddenly pulls out in front of you, you will suddenly focus on it; your passenger will tend to notice this and stop talking.
