It just runs slower. Only 4GB for a machine with a bit of traffic on ZFS is a bad idea but it gets things done eventually - even sending and receiving snapshots of a few TB. Yes the example is a crap machine, and a 32 bit "netburst" Xeon as well, but crap machines are things that can get used to test things to destruction before going near production machines. I was using it with FreeBSD9 since ZFS was more advanced on that platform.
There was widespread Communist infiltration of the US government in the 1930s and 1940s
Only if you use such a definition as was used to call the millionaire Charlie Chaplin a "Communist". Most of that "Communist infiltration" was just people who hated Fascism with a passion, which tagged them as "Communists" even though today we would look back at their ideals and even call some of those people "Republicans".
Yet Ollie North still got a government job after dealing with Hezbolla, Iran and a variety of bandits in Central America. Don't forget the embezzlement to buy a car and aircondition his house. His "club affiliation" bought him immunity from this sort of scrutiny.
Yes they learned from things like that to get their propaganda spread by economists and others with no connection at all to the item being studied. Real scientists are in danger of doing real science if they come in contact with systems that they understand.
It's an opinion of many, due to an array of factual examples of scientists getting caught acting without integrity and forced out of their profession. You want some of the dark side of "human nature"? Well for one thing a scientist can increase their reputation a great deal by disproving another, and gets a vast increase to their reputation if they manage to prove that another scientist is a liar. Of course this should all be obvious so the mystery here is whether you are ignorant of the subject you are discussing or pretending to be ignorant to advance your argument by dishonest means. Not a good look either way. It's also a bit depressing to see luddites on a tech site but I suppose cargo-cult fanboys that like shiny technology but have been convinced by political propaganda that science is bad want to spread their views just like everyone else.
The context should have been the huge clue. Net present worth gets used on hydro projects and that's insane for anything you expect to last for a long time. But of course you didn't look for context - merely key words you could use as an excuse for some petty attempt at bullying. How childish, just like your "poo-flinging" thing you keep on bringing up.
I thought I covered that in my post. While jet fuel can run a Concorde that's not what is flying passengers around. In a decade or two some stuff may be electric, it's not going to get anyone there as fast as possibly even a Japanese bullet train but that doesn't appear to matter as much as we used to think, especially with the short hops.
So even in a post oil world, we'd have to synthesize longer hydrocarbons to fly, I'd think.
I mentioned in another post that there's a chemical in oranges that can be used - a plane has already flown with a mix of half of that and half conventional fuel. Of course that fuel was not actually extracted from oranges but was instead made using yeast modified with some genes from oranges.
I think it's very safe to assume that nearly every single person reading this site or writing comments here has ridden on a bus. Yes, I'd prefer driving a Ferrari along a deserted Autobahn at top speed to riding a bus. Stuck in traffic and looking for ages for an ultimately expensive parking spot - that bus is looking good. Trains look even better especially with WiFi.
No it's specific versus general. We are dealing with two different topics here.
The topic I'm discussing is the unrealistic figures produced by people who call themselves economists (despite showing "almost no knowledge at all") with respect to energy projects as complained about by the post above. The topic you appear to be discussing is about pretending that specific point is a general case so that you can build a large enough strawman in my name to be easy to attack. It's quite pathetic playground bullying. No gold star for you for coloring outside the lines little boy. Not a little boy? Then why the little boy act? You saw a familiar name and thought you'd get the boot in with a very weak connection as an excuse and now some way out there analogies presumably as some sort of distraction. It's quite sad really. Why attempt to start some sort of intellectual argument while disarmed?
However, to be blunt, when he did actually try to put some effort into presentation it just came off as fake, silly and condescending so IMHO he's better sticking with his talents instead of trying to put on a show with improvement hampered by so many people going on about how wonderful he is on matters unrelated to presentation. Also anybody that is going to see him is already "sold" on the idea so content matters more than trying to be convincing.
I still don't appreciate your slam of economics, ignoring a whole field of knowledge
A specific type of situation where a field of knowledge is dumbed down to almost no knowledge at all is not an example of "ignoring a whole field of knowledge".
I suggest you reply to my posts instead of to your own baggage.
There's probably just as much easily obtained lithium in California than in Afganistan, and if that's not enough there's more in Bolivia than anywhere else on the planet in a salt lake that has a railway line running right onto the salt. The lithium in Afganistan thing is more along the lines of "we have this land, what can we do with it?" than it being better to get it from there than anywhere else.
Would be convenient if they did (though still far off). Power cables to airports are a lot easier to deal with than the pipelines and vast amounts of fuel storage required at any large airport. It's almost required to have an oil refinery next to those things. We've given up on supersonic passenger flight so electricity may eventually have a chance chasing a fixed target instead of a moving one.
Americans like cars not buses thanks to decades of marketing getting shoved down their throats. That's led to a chicken/egg situation where it's hard to get around without a car because everyone has them.
Foxtel in Australia with their BBC content are probably the root of this problem and why the crackdown mentions Australia. Here's a related item: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-09/consumers-paying-400pc-more-for-digital-programs-choice/5729928
Take a look at "The Thick of It" and then consider the reaction if you called Capaldi's character in that an emo faggot:) By episode two of the new drwho it's looking like he's been told to go for something similar but less sweary and slightly less likely to headbutt a Dalek if it looks at him the wrong way.
The textbook version has the kernel as the OS, the common usage adds a pile of libs and userspace binaries that get close to the kernel and the MS vs Netscape version had the web browser as part of the OS instead of part of a software distribution. So with definition number three they are different operating systems, but with number one and two they are functionally the same. So it's not a "basic error", it's conflicting definitions which have been distorted over time by people pushing agendas (MS legal with IE and FSF with "LiGnuX" then "gnu/linux") that have many thinking it's version three. So while in your view the windows server and desktop systems are different operating systems in the view of others they are the same OS with different options added on top. It's about working out the context instead of complaining that someone else is using a different context.
I've still got tape drives hooked up to a four CPU Sun system with 8GB memory and less than 1TB of disk in total - a monster in it's day but outperformed by many laptops in this day.
On exactly that note I've put FreeBSD10 on an early netbook since such a server OS can be set to not run a lot of stuff at once on a low memory 32bit system. IMHO the difference between a server and desktop software distribution is there is more control available in the former which actually makes it better for low end devices. Another amusing example of the server/desktop split is offline wikipedia on ereaders - despite having very little CPU power there's plenty to run a web server application to host the offline wikipedia on the device and then enough for the ereader to display the selected pages. That's a server application in a pocket.

No, he was a liar and his list was a fiction with no names at all let alone the ones who existed.

Wow. That's a fantastic parody post. Keep up the good work since those luddites really hate it we we laugh at how utterly ridiculous they are.

Never been there but I've heard a lot of it is nice.

No that's the Nintendo DS - keyboard anyway.

Even better, put them on rails and go really fast so that we can finally get the rapid mass transit of the future!
Or maybe 1968.
