a) developing a lauch carrier that can reach moon with more than 1 or 2 tons payload b) getting enough material up to be able to support 30 people for more than 3 years INCLUDING oxygene (look at the biosphere2 disaster as to how difficult something is even at earth) (that would be a few 1000s of tons for sure->a few 100s worth of saturn5 lauches) c) GET 30 people up there (plus medical support, ect) d) bring them back.
I would guess this would cost 500-1000 billions at least. Alone lauching the material for a base to support the people is way beyond what its possible currently. By the time this condition is available, 10billions will be peanuts (compared to the cost of the project and the inflation)
Take a look at the X86-64 architecture. It can perfectly execute legacy code. In fact it may be faster for some stuff than 32bit code (programms that dont benefit from the increase in registers and suffer from longer pointers).
A good comparison would be DVDs: More storage, but if you dont need it, you are free to use cds, because every dvd-rom can read cds, too.
I cannot agree. The only bad thing with episode 6 were the ewoks. But now with jarjar, even their annoyance factor pales (and i actually liked them when i was 8 or so:D )
I mean, there is no/little relative velocity, and radio waves are fast (plus there is no ether:D).
As to the whole thing... I really dont know. Its cool, but it sounds like a real potential for darwin awards ("damn, ill get you. Just a nother round..." *splash*)
But of course all this nice and usefull calculations crumble to nothing if you realize that the whole purpose of this grid is to allow every university the acess to any portion of the data without the vast cost of keeping a total copy available (and no, on tape isnt available in a sense that will be usefull to analyse the data).
They sustained it. Via several hops across the atlantic, over a week.
This is important because the experiment will create more data than can be stored there, so it has to be dumped "into the grid". If the datarate couldnt be sustained, data would be lost.
well why... this carbon is coming from active biomass and thus not increasing the co2 content of the athmosphere. And compared to just burning wood, ect it is cleaner because of the lack of NOx, CO,...
I dont think you were at a loss of words. You managed to put quite a lot of them in your comment without saying anything. Next time , if you "have literally no idea what to say", just dont.
The problem is that this is even LESS secure than than just no convention. Sure, you get rid of idiots using "password" or something, but brute forcing all combinations of 2 4-6 letter english words plus 2 digits is rediciously easy...
Come on... digits is for noobs,real men risk eyes. Nothing beats having a cutting wheel disintegrate into your face for ruining a day, especiall if you "only want to make that little cut, there cant happen anything...".
Ok. 1st, youi are right, you need more than a little motor to damage the data on a hd. A LOT more.
But... The rest of you posting is more than a bit stupid: How strong to you think a magnetic field would be to damage humans? A NMR uses 2-4 tesla without problems, and the only reason you dont tune than higher is that we cannot without wasting tons of energy/contruction cost. We currently cannot produce stable magnetic field that would damage human tissue (in our university, we have one of the strongest NMR in europe, they put live samples into 13T and they are still alive after)
Also: please show me the fan that uses a non electic motor. I REALLY wanna see it.
I agree. My PC has 5 Hotswap bays that are cooled with a single 120mm fan in front. As i dont use 15k scsi stuff, even 7V are more than enough to keep all drives cool without much noise or wasted space.
This solution otoh wastes a drive bay and doesnt create a directed airstream... it will just suck in its own heated air again.
well, they actually TELL somewhere on their page that "due to the nature of the distributed storage system", deletion of mails doesnt mean that google doesnt keep a copy.

Only if you have OSX installed...
(see article, those patches actually require MacOs functions)
nothing of which has ANYTHING to do with hard drives as computer compontents.
Try again.
10 Billion for:
a) developing a lauch carrier that can reach moon with more than 1 or 2 tons payload
b) getting enough material up to be able to support 30 people for more than 3 years INCLUDING oxygene (look at the biosphere2 disaster as to how difficult something is even at earth) (that would be a few 1000s of tons for sure->a few 100s worth of saturn5 lauches)

You dont get it.

Er... What is your point?
He says that you can run 32bit and 64bit code, so one is not forced to port everything even if there is no improvement for that kind of app.
How does that compare to those "640K enough for everybody" fake-quotes?
(and Btw: 64bit could really be as much Ram as anybody will ever use in a single-image computer...)
Of course, "bit" alone is a relatively weak performance indicator.
For all we know, they could have replaced 400Mhz Xeons with Opteron 250 systems...
And if it doesnt work, they could still claim that it DID work, but we just didnt see it because they returned so quickly :)
Can you help be a bit about the syntax?
It ALMOST makes sense if read as inverse polnic from right to left...
Of course, its per seat, so if you have 4 people in your car, it would break even with 12l/100km
I cannot agree. :D )

Fuel Cells. Ever heard of them?
And yeah, the BAD h2o. We all have heard of the perils of dihydrogenmonoxid, right?

COME ON.
Please not again this "why is the maximum 1000, NOBODY will ever use more then 10" talk.
Why should it be limited to less than 512TB? Any reason for such a thing? No.
I dont think you were at a loss of words.
You managed to put quite a lot of them in your comment without saying anything.
Next time , if you "have literally no idea what to say", just dont.
how is paying more for a faster line you dont use "getting ripped off"?
Its not like they force people to use this option...
The problem is that this is even LESS secure than than just no convention.

There hasnt been a single instance of proven cosmic ray bit flip on ground level.
And for bit-flips of other causes: The bit-failure rate per mbit has dropped a few orders of magnitudes tha last 10 or 15 years.
