The CO2 will be harvested from cement factories or fossil power plants, not from the air. Efficiently harvesting atmospheric CO2 would be big news and yet not that needed anyway as harvesting from sea water would be easier. Nature dissolves it in oceans for us lol.
Where waste industrial CO2 is not available perhaps you'll want to store some hydrogen - as stationary, limited grid storage - or make NH3 from air and hydrogen, which may require high grade heat. I wonder if cheap solar heat can be used for that.
1500km? that'd be barely enough to cross France, linking Catalan Spain to Belgium and Germany. Rough estimate. You're missing Paris, the UK, Italy, Slovenia, Czech rep., rest of Spain, rest of Germany, Austria, Poland, NL.. Back of the napkin I would want 10 000 km.
To make a gross analogy, a cable run from Miami to Houston and Dallas won't give you a US wide HVDC grid.
Everyone knows the Weather Channel is very much biased. http://www.theonion.com/video/... I see fit to answer an entertainer with entertainment. There is at least one clear, totally weak lie in his letter : "The polar ice is increasing, not melting away". Such statemnent is ridiculous given how easy it is to look at the picture, thus that guy deserves no respect nor wasting time with him. http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicen...
You can but that costs many billion dollars. To do a continent wide HVDC network with some limited energy storage (compared to what would ideally be needed) you're looking at many hundred billions $$$ or EUR.
Who ARE you believing? So far there has been uninterrupted warming for a half-century with a linear trend. You are parroting lies that others are paid hundred millions dollars in occult funds to tell you. Please tell us your motivations.
Exactly, in 1890 we used modern units, and 124 years later you still are using old ones (acres?)
Uh, isn't there 24 hours in a day?, so if 40 hectares were done in 4 hours, that would be 240 hectares done in 24 hours which is 2.4 square kilometers.
Microsoft deprecated their POSIX layer (after making it artificially unavailable in Windows 7 Pro whereas XP Pro could run it) Ironically, Windows 10 won't be POSIX compatible while earlier Windows version were (not sure about 8.1)
It pissed me off to not be able to install the "Unix" shell in Windows 7 Pro. I only wanted a toy environment with *sh, grep, less, wget, sed etc. and some simple programs, but still. It had a terrible reputation but it would have been interesting to have it. Cygwin sucks and a Virtualbox VM with file system passthrough just to run cat and ls sucks.
They go in/etc,/etc/foo,/etc/default,/etc/alternatives,/usr/share/something, ~/.foo, ~/.config, ~/.config/bar and possibly other things and god help you if you have both dconf and gconf installed.
Some stuff is special : output resolutions are added with xrandr --newmode, xrandr --addmode and not by editing a configuration file (you did so in the times xorg.conf was not hidden). Or some stuff takes effect when you rebuild the initramfs, fine. I'm not especially complaining (complexity is complex) but it's not really easy. Ah yes, forgot about/etc/xdg. It would be better if the system explained what the fuck do/etc/default and/etc/xdg mean. Sorry, I'll classify it as guru stuff.
Even if that's true that the algorithms are pretty much unchanged, that the accuracy gets better when throwing resources at the problem probably means the algorithm is working as intended.
Did it ever change? Windows XP, Vista and 7 were supported on three architectures, x86, amd64 and itanium (for the latter only under the names of XP 64bit edition, Server 2003, Server 2008 and 2008R2). Windows 8 droppped Itanium but gained ARMv7 - the crippled ARM version runs some win32 software by default such as explorer.exe and Office, if jailbreaked it can run recompiled/ported win32 software.
Windows 2000 perhaps only did x86 but at least had an unrealeased port to Alpha (even 64bit Windows 2000). So every version of NT ever, except 5.1 strictly speaking had at least one non-x86 version.
A Windows server is likely to run the services that come with the OS. It's not so much like desktop-style use, where people want to run a game from 2008, genealogy software from 1997, and the software that came with the printer and camera on disc. Windows on ARM was toast for that market as well as failing to replicate the tablet/phone crap market of iOS and Android, which were available years earlier.
On the other hand small LAN infrastructure servers are useful. Now imagine some Mac Mini sized shit running that, next to the company's router and NAS. Yes it should all be linux, ldap, pam or kerberos, nfs, samba, bind etc. but for some reason a Windows server is prefered to a *nix guru, perhaps it's more easy to get one.
And then a ton of server stuff doesn't care about the CPU :.NET, java, PHP and the others. Short answer : it doesn't matter much and they already own a huge share of the server market.
The 1500 watt power supply isn't really needed though, nor the need to consider triple-SLI / triple-Crossffire.. you win benchmarks but suffer even more latency and quirks than double-card setups. Unless you're building a military flight simulator it may be best to forget about it and then 850W PSU ought to be enough.
Wrong! Apple have been selling Macbook Pro with soldered RAM for two years, and they've recently launched desktops with soldered RAM. More than one model. That leaves only the 27" iMac and the Mac Pro if you As for budget PCs, a desktop will last a decade if it has a good PSU.
Please, when you want to get a new version of your graphics driver or update something too big (say KDE, Mate) you end up replacing the whole OS. You can change window manager, terminal emulator or shell (ksh, zsh) etc. any time, but some fine grained stuff like choosing the version of a program you prefer to run is only possible on Windows as well as e.g. setting targets for fan control, looking for voltage drops - linux never allowed me to read ANY of the half dozen or so voltage sensors built in any PC, it doesn't even acknowledge their presence.
It would be good to have a low footprint Windows clone to do the low level tasks that are just impossible on linux.
More than the looks (though flexibility in the looks would be welcome) I would like options to make the file manager not suck : optional left pane, favorites menu, no wasted space (show more damn files and folders per area), customizable toolbar. Loss of the style of file manager I used in Windows 98 and XP was one reason that led me to flee to linux. What a pain in the ass.

It's easy, but when you lack the right geological features to do that you have to build a moutain, and that's lengthy and messy.

That feels fair (but won't really stop imports of oil and gas I believe)

So, you're a scientist. What are you gonna tell Vladimir Putin, Abdallah whatever and the people from Goldman Sachs?
It is hard to come up with a political solution, one that doesn't involve nuclear war.

It's fine to ignore it but it can be used for a single purpose it, that is to run the ping command. Very useful.

So you're using up a modern quad core CPU, albeit a low end one just to push data at speeds lower than an old cheap LAN?
