Why would you want to _preserve_ that light? And the sun is to bright to look into even if you cut the intensity by 50%.
They are supposed to _cut out_ reflections from horizontal surfaces, like windscreens, water as the GP said, or the glass/plastic in front of the dashboard instruments...
Give me a citation for your 10-^8 death rate due to 1 pCi exposure.(Btw, _what length_ of exposure? 10^6 years? Thats why anybody remotely competent uses sievert instead of curie - you know the correct unit for "exposure"...)
Cause you know, the human body radiates on its own (simple because of natural radioactive isotopes). This acticity is >100nCi, or 10^6 pCi (http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/natural.htm) So 1% of everybody would die by their _intrinsic_ radiation by your argument. Even before we even touch cosmic rays, ground radon, x-rays, etc.
It was used in calculators. 4bit is enough to encode 0-9. The rest was done in software (using arbitrary precission math, although for very limited values of "arbitrary", given past constrains...
But a few of them will saturate the line 24/7 with bittorrent/etc, and if they get throttled that will cry havoc and try to damage the service as much as possible to the public eye in the net.
While bitcoin is quite interesting from a cryptography point of view, it totally fails to address human nature.
In particular, GREED.
2 years ago it was trivially easy to mine 100s of bitcoins. Hell, you could by 1000 for less than a happy meal. Now people sit on those coins, hoping that bitcoin will become a mainstream currency, in which case the value of a bitcoin would need to rise by many orders of magnitudes. If it reached a capitalization compareable to the USD, that bigmac would become equivalent of $25M.
And there are people around with a much much larger fraction of possible bitcoins than there were ever for any real currency. And the deflationary nature of it will mean that the value of those horders (and thus their economical power) WILL have to grow in case of a success of bitcoin.
I had an eye-opening experience back when i bought my one apple product, an ipod nano (7 years or so ago), the 8GB model. I had it loaded up with music, and after reinstalling, wanted to get my music back by syncing it with the newly installed itunes.
The result was a wiped ipod, as apple does not want me to own my data. Lession leaned.
With Mach 20, you are 70% to orbital velocity, while air breathing enourmously reduces weight requirements.
So, booster to mach 3 or whatever the scramjet needs to start, then accelerate and get height. After reaching Mach 20, activate rocket stage to enter orbit.
If you read between the lines, we are of course back to the point of the headline:
a) IBM wanted to siginificantly increase the price ("required signifcantly increased financial support...", which they would of course passed on), which they could not get through. So they decilined delivery to the initially contracted conditions.
So if I make an graphic for a GPL application in Corel Draw, and export it to PNG, I violate the GPL as the image is no longer present in "its prefered form to make modifications to it"?

Er, no.

Oh, bullshit calling time.

The SS was the anti-counterfeit department of the treasury long before "protecting the president" became its job.
Or maybe you just got that impression because everybody who does not really love their king risks life in jail?
Of course, and it has been done for (relative) ages.
All the directly imaged exoplanets were detected by that exact principle.
The news part is not the method, but that an amateur did it.
Not to mention that they demand those noises in low speed areas, i.e. cities. EXACTLY where you do not want noise cars.
Car noise at night is bad enough already, but it will be horrible if every car makers is playing a different jingle...
You are thinking the wrong way.

Yeah, true. I gave up and stayed on windows.
I have come to peace with microsoft long ago.
They just want my money. I can live with that. Google and facebook, otoh, give me stuff "for free" in order to sell me.
Do you _really_ think modern HDs use stuff as basic as Iron Oxide?
I guess I am the only one seeing potential privacy issues there.

Well, at least Agilent (the cool part of HP they sold) is a pretty good brand in my line of work.
Nice high-end instruments.
Zero sum game.
Move a full ship (with folded containers) and 3 empty ones, or 4 almost empty ones (filled with empty unfolded containers).
Not much difference.
Because google does not have anything to be compatible to.
I would even go as far and say: No not buy rack mounted at all if on such a budget.
Also, dump video cards.
And HDs: Depending on the load, one might not need a big / fast local storage at all. It can be cost efficient to use a very small SSD.
And yeah to boxes in shelfs. A usable 19" rack case alone can be more expensive than a computer box..
I build a cluster in a similar budget a while ago. It can be done easily.
3-5k for a node it pure bullshit and has nothing to do with reality.
For that budget, I got 8 machines with 2GHz core2 quad cores. 2 years ago.

Error in the date. 2006, so 5 years.

Think second stage for rockets to archieve orbit!

That would allow a _real_ space shuttle.
Which will need an adaptor, either way...
