but our atmosphere has come back several times from having FAR more carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor than now. The fossil and geological records indicate your fear of Venus II to be rather unfounded
difference with the greenhouse gas water vapor is that there's a quick removal cycle for water (days to months) compared to carbon dioxide and methane (takes centuries to process by being absorbed by ocean). So once water gets back to liquid form the cycle is complete. So you'll essentially be increasing local rain near cities rather than driving a long term accumulation like we're doing now.
the Great Wall was fine, they weren't intended to absolutely keep an intruder out, but to make difficulty for them, and to provide an elevated position for defense. It's the same philosphy as putting some hairpin turns bordered by barricades in an approach to a security gate.
well, I wish sun would give UltraSparc 3 and 4 docs to the open source OS too, but to say they've contributed very little to open source just isn't true. they've made huge contributions like opensolaris & staroffice (you might not like their licenses but that's another issue)
it changes things a great deal, most corporations want SUPPORTED software, and they will pay for that support as it's a miniscule part of any service implementation.
heterogenous clustering and frameworks for parallel computing has been around at schools and labs for over 10 years, I really don't see what's novel about Cray's offering
although this experiment isn't about a direct EM to gravity coupling per se, they only attribute huge mass of photons from cooper pairs causing the gravitomagnetic field (part of their theory is that rest mass of photon varies according to local charge and mass density.)
google for the Los Alamos e-print server. Enter the names of the 2 documents referenced at the bottom of the article (gr-qc/0603032 and gr-qc/0603033). All the details you could ever want, including the faraday shielding to exclude electromagnetic effects (also that they montiored above, during and below critical transition temperature in the superconductors they used. More astounding is the physcially observed agreement to their treating of photon mass and graviton mass being proportional to local energy density, which gives ratio of dark to observed enegy, Higgs boson mass, etc.
You don't work on large software projects? To write To rewrite MORE than HALF of an OS with tens of millions of lines of code in a year!!!!??????? can't be done, whatever comes out of this will be a cobbled together train wreck.
look at the source code of sendmail: big tangled ball(s) of twine. Then look at the source code of some competing systems, strange, they're actually well-designed and modular! then look at the memory consumption of a sendmail process, vs. what qmail or postfix takes (20% of a sendmail process). I used to use sendmail in the 90's, but I'm glad I've long ago given up that bloated, hard to configure crap.
that's true, but for for comm applications when sender and receiver are both in space rather than reflecting experiments with two trips through the atmosphere you get quite a few orders of magnitude more photons. the only point I was making was aiming is the easy part of the problem.
about 30% off retail is more typical, even so, you're saying $18,000 a processor is a deal for something that takes all kinds of patches to make seemingly stable for a particular system? Something that needs 3rd party software to make shared databases or clusters that aren't a nightmare to admin (and even more humourous is that Oracle salesforce is aggresively trying to steer away customers from these 3rd party products that give them some hope of stability and sane admin, to using Oracle's own amateurish filesystems, clustering and tools, which are an admin's nightmare and have about 25% the functionality) I predict Oracle is in for a big attitude adjustment. And yes, I do Oracle clustering and migrations for a living.
not a problem, laser beams have divergence (or spread) - in the Apollo 14 lser beam retroreflector experiments, the laser beam, aimed through a telescope, was 7 kilometers wide at the moon, and over 20 kilometers wide when it returned to earth. That was just a quarter million miles, now do a proportion and figure the rough spread for earth/mars distance!
maxon says the one of the two models used on the Rover is with no modification, and the other had minor mods. Since the Rovers were designed for 90 days operation, I'm sure the brush life wasn't a concern. Now that those things are still going after two years, maybe all those motors start failing at once....
The rover uses maxon's motors, which also are used in artificial hearts, surgical tools, and underwater robots. those aren't your mother's DC motors 8D
not billigerent at all, tenderly rolling over students with tanks and gently imprisoning and beating religious leaders and destroying centuries old temples
you're right, they would have to start a huge professional services division.. which they could do, but then would anyone want it? Usually hardware vendors are involved, Sun, HP, IBM, EMC, Hitachi. etc. Who's going to back or certify Microsoft's work with the iron?

google already knows what everyone is doing, so what's the big deal them knowing what everyone is planning on doing?

your rebuke so hurt my feelings, I slit my wrists
yes, only somewhat less nasal, obviously.

the sad news is, you don't eat the new prostate-protecting pepper pills. you ram them up your penis through your bladder and into your prostate.
up your ass? In the words of Dr. Zoidberg, guess again.....
thanks, Captain Something
good thing you didn't mention His name three times in your post, the last slashdotter that did that got his head gnawed off.
we don't want that land anyway, it's lousy with frenchmen.
