For god's sake, make abortion illegal so the republican golem will dissolve and we can stop destroying the country over the issue.
The "nanny staters for freedom" will just find some other way to poke into everyone's bedrooms just like similar groups do in places where abortion is still illegal. They need an "other" to demonise and attack or they just look like a bunch of rich kid bullies that never grew up.
That is likely to look a lot like this anime from 2002 about teenagers making use of a badly secured Internet of Things. https://myanimelist.net/anime/611/Platonic_Chain
Everyone would like to replace the diesel generators with something carbon free
Not really everyone, that's inviting political bullshit such as another poster accused me of. Replacing it with something else that is locally available is a really good idea however, not just for the sake of reducing an already small carbon footprint. A couple of years ago it would have been hideously expensive to run those diesels merely due to being at the mercy of the world oil price.
There are many options suited to the location. A rapid dropoff into deep ocean resulting in easy access to seawater at different temperatures for example should give some ideas to anyone who had paid attention to thermodynamics for an hour or more. Geothermal is obvious there. The place is very windy. There are plenty of burnable byproducts from agriculture there. That the place is still powered by diesel shipped in is really more a sign that the place is mostly being run lazily from Washington by people who don't care much. It's like Nigeria where for decades they burned gas being flared off for oil production from a huge facility without using that massive amount of heat in one place to do anything. Once people on the spot has some say it was used to generate electricity.
If the above poster was in California, Nevada, Texas or anywhere south of New York they wouldn't be pushing the argument about sunlight being so weak because they'd know from their own sunburn that it is a stupid line to push. The average is fine. Assuming everywhere is a snowbound place with hardly any light is not, especially when talking about a tropical island.
Here's the thing - if your baseline is sea level and you have some very big mountains you do not need to put it on the mountain top, plenty of desolate spots some distance up will do the job. Hundreds of acres? Yes. I suggest you look at a map to enlighten yourself that the place we are talking about is not the middle of Manhattan so there is an acre or two of unfarmable land spare.
Of course the insult makes no sense. A bunch of woman hating virgins calling people cuckolds as their insult of choice shows how little sense they have and how utterly pathetic they are.
Maybe, but the first wikipedia page I linked to had the following: "A 300 MW seawater-based project has recently been proposed on Lanai, Hawaii" If the baseline is sea level that increases the options of where it can be sited.
Of course, the counter-argument to that is that if the US and its allies know about these vulnerabilities, then almost certainly so do the Russians and Chinese.
Plus a lot of mundane criminals. It's a different agency but it's worth pointing out that the highest profile criminal hack in recent years, the Stratfor hack, was done by a guy who does work from time to time for the FBI. People within the FBI knew that at the same time as the FBI were screaming loudly for more resources so they could catch hackers like that. Due to his connection to the FBI he got away with not much more than a warning, despite all the screaming about CYBERTERRORISTS up to 11.
1/ Snowden, Manning and the many who tried to go through channels and were punished for it 2/ The Mafia folks hired at the formation of the CIA, many consequences, and probably still some of that going on today. 3/ Star Trek Set guy at the NSA comes to mind first. General "will divulge state secrets for fucks" Petreus comes second.
Apparently those of us who don't know are "Cucks" or something. It's a "Alt-right" woman hating angry virgin bit of terminology and those of us who have dared to kiss women are not in the in group to discuss how the mainstream media is at the root of all the evil that is not supplied by women and people who are not pale nordic types. Since they go on about it so often they have shortened it to MSM. Don't worry, they'll have more confusing terms next week that we'll have to either work out or ignore.
Not much we can do about it, those Randy types are going to outbreed us.
Why the fuck they take their "philosophy" from a book that's a thinly veiled "bring back the Tzar" piece of shit from someone who never understood that 1950s America was a shitload better than life under a Tzar I'll never know.
Seriously? After all the Russian stuff you are still bitching about Hillary, Powell, Rice and many others using private email as if it's anywhere near as important? Even Sarah Palin did the same sort of thing and even got her account hacked.
Perhaps there were real security concerns vis a vis Trump
I agree with that, but even if I didn't that last time we had a President who avoided security briefings we ended up with 9/11. Having a President who listens to shock jocks more than experts suggests some way to route around the damage and allow agencies to directly collaborate would be a good idea. Perhaps some kind of Central Intelligence Agency to allow all of the orgs to collaborate - it's kind of what it was set up for before all the comparmentilization. So maybe that's why it was done.
If you read a little bit about the history of the CIA it appears that barrier was eroded away on day one or close to it. Hiring Mafia types (just like the postwar British spooks did with various criminals but without keeping them at arms length) did not appear to be a good idea and they never seems to have recovered from early mistakes like that despite things like Helms and Angleton being fired in the 1970s for the CIA's domestic activities.
Not exactly. You have to worry about ENOUGH performance per watt. If you can get something to get the job done in a reasonable time frame without burning a lot of power that's great. That's what low power consumption systems are for. If that's nowhere near enough performance you get whatever does the job instead no matter how many watts it burns. Trying to chase both generally just annoys everyone - pick one.
Sometimes maximum watts matters more than performance per watt and sometime Intel doesn't have anything decent to fit the niche. Nothing has changed really.
"Real" servers instead of virtual ones have been done that way in clusters for a long time. Rocks Cluster Distribution is 17 years old and I don't think it was the first.
For mundane tasks, Windows' remote admin is hard to beat
Perhaps, but I very much suspect that once you are working on more than a single host many different implementations of cluster management tools from fifteen years ago would leave it for dead.
The good spots are already is use, by and large. There are actually *fewer* good spots now than 100 years ago.
Thanks to very low loss methods of electricity transmission such as HVDC being used worldwide I'd say there are a lot more good spots. Put a big enough dam in Alaska and it's likely to be economically viable to use the electricity generated there in Seattle. There are links operating as long as 2,375 km (1,476 mi) so it would be possible to put a link in with today's technology.
You are nearly there grasshopper but you do not understand yet that such things have already been done many times despite those large numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity Imagine 100 million tonnes of water in pump storage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludington_Pumped_Storage_Power_Plant) instead of those 52 thousand tonnes. Those 52 thousand tonnes don't sound so difficult in comparison now do they?

Good to see you are growing up and getting some sense instead of peddling all that survival of the fittest libertarian crap like you used to do.
This "we own you" crap - wasn't there a civil war over managers with that sort of attitude?

I can't imagine why anyone would do that when you have mountains.

Go back to my post and read sentence number three for your answer.

Intel has enough money they could throw 2-3 teams on it if they wanted to. One of them would succeed.
AMD's problem is they thought they could throw away 2-3 teams and did.
