that only lasts as long as there are digital computers. on the other hand, the Roman empire stamped their bitcoins into metal and you can see them in museums.
it won't last at all in the scenario we're discussing here. depending on base, microfilm/microfiche must be kept form 15 to 40 percent (cellulose) or 30 to 40 percent humidity (polyester) or it will crack (too dry) or decompose (too wet). fumes from wood, particle board or paper will destroy it. sulfides, peroxides, and hydroxides like ammonia will destroy it Temperatures greater than 70 degrees F over time will destroy it. More than five percent temperature variation during the day will ruin it.
too fragile for non-HVAC environment, not durable for the ages if civilization falls.
of course companies announce great breakthroughs all the time in effort to get shareholders, grants, mindshare. but there is world of difference between promising lab experiment and mass produced device, and most things fail on the track to marketable product which takes years. that's the real world.
There is no such conspiracy to hold back developers of batteries and fuel cells, plenty of multi-billion dollar corporations fervently working on those things.
reality is that energy density of batteries is about a tenth of that of liquid hydrocarbon fuel. oil is the most efficient because oil is the most efficient, it's engineering reality.
doesn't change the truth, electric car batteries ruin the whole deal for a number of reasons. too little energy density, long recharge times, short life, toxic materials, and energy intensive recycling
the oil industry and coal industry have been powering civilization and extending human life for 400 years.
you are forgetting the one thing that ruins the whole carbon offsetting business: battery manufacturing, replacement and recovery of materials. the carbon load for that is huge and totally destroys the advantage of electric vehicles.
add to that the massive subsidies electric cars currently enjoy, and they turn into an expensive way to not reduce pollution
OS/2 is still around and the latest version of 2011 is for sale. Serenity Systems bought the rights to it, now calls it EcomStation 2 and continues development mainly intended as a point of sale system.
don't blame nvidia for not supporting the ever-mutable internal API of the Linux kernel. it's your fault for trying to run bleeding edge crap; stick with stable polished mainstream distros and you'll always have an nvidia driver
just as with projectiles from a gun, the angular momentum of space debris including asteroids is very tiny compared to total momentum; rotational kinetic energy tiny compared to total KE.......
it is believed the Oort cloud goes out to almost a light-year, so by that definition of "extent of solar system" Voyager won't be leaving in our lifetimes, not for thousands of years.
sad news, Bruce, actually that's why we the open source fans have had you as our spokesperson for all these years, you handsome studmuffin you. I mean, just look at Stallman and all those other neckbearded slobs, who are they going to win over? no one, that's who.
not quite applicable sentiment here, as the man wanted more life for someone else (admittedly with half his DNA).
Maybe more like Leon, who had current photos of friends in his pocket and became enraged when Decker shot one of them. He had some care for others.
So get the rind of that watermelon back, and smack it a few times "wakey wakey....time to die!" Or shoot it with shotgun, "Let me tell you about my mother!"
still the percentage of gay IT dudes has to be somewhere between 5 and 15 percent. so it seems to me the reasonable solution would be having "booth babes" and "booth beefcakes" at least.
no one is whining, but the need for "real" standard encyclopedia maintained by professional researchers will stand as long as projects like wikipedia have this juvenile problem
but Canonical only offers driver for left-handed 1/4" wood screw, that can't be used for sheet metal or anchoring or in machines. that's what Unity is for people who actually want to use more than one window at once.

why bother to print, most food is made of cells, they can be grown. you won't be assembling cells in your printer.
when did the federal government have any credibiliy, they lost it before I was born (I'm 50).
Obama is just a dancing circus bear, the agenda of Bush/Cheney's masters continue
of more importance in the enterprise is the robustness of microsoft exchange and IIS, which have never passed malware to or from any PC.

just saw off the crippled person's head and put on a new one. problem solved.

but not electric car batteries, they're energy pigs and carbon-pollution intensive because of where and how they are made. electric cars are not green

wrong, mature unix kernels have stable interface and backward compatiblity in their internals. it's immaturity of Linux developers that is issue

15% of 180 lbs. = 25 lbs. that's one heavy schlong.

thanks to you and your kind for changing the big white mints in the jourinals.
