I would like to try it on my eeepc 701 but the USB installer seems to be depricated and that installer was requred for PXE installations as well. Many CD installation kernels support TFTP or NFS, both of which I support but so far I can't find any information on how (if at all) to use them with the minix microkernel. I assume that booting is more complex for a microkernel because of all the different parts so maybe netbooting is out for now.
I have found hardware support in minix to be very poor, in fact I don't think I have ever been able to get it running in a non-virtualised environment. By targeting embedded systems they are in effect saying that thy expect developers to port minix to their hardware.
Yeah but the minix web page does say thae think it is appropriate for netbook type devices. I am currently torrenting the CD image in the hope that I can get it to boot with PXE. The netboot howto says to use the USB image but that seems to be deprecated at the moment.
I mean they don't expect it to be installed on COTS hardware and used as a web server or workstation. It is, as you said, expected to be used as a teaching tool.
Looking under "Drivers, FS" it would seem that the Minix developers are still focusing on keeping it compatible with qemu and virtualbox, ie, they don't expect anybody to run it on real hardware and use it for real jobs.
I also wondered if the CO2 could be used directly by filtering the particles out and feeding the exhaust has through greenhouses. You would need hundreds of kilometres of greenhouse obviously.
I wonder how you would go separating oxygen from nitrogen before combustion, then burning the coal on pure oxygen, though I suppose that is the process described in the article.
But the batteries are portable. You could ship them off to China for maintenance. The overhead is fixed infrastructure. It has to be maintained in place by expensive local labour.
Yeah I would wonder about building a robotic charging plug. Lose less energy that way, or maybe make it inductive but close coupled and robotic. Like an electric toothbrush.
The overhead is expensive to build and maintain. We would not install one for electric cars for example. Maybe it is cheaper just to charge the trains at stations.
US Cities are inside out compared to Australia. People pay a fortune to live in Brunswick and ride a bike to work in Collins street. Maybe in the US those people just want a nice freeway to drive on.
So far the objects which we missed have been mostly harmless. The longer we search, the more we find, and down to smaller sizes as well. So this situation will not go on for ever. In 50 years or so most objects above ten metres or so will have been catalogued and their trajectories modelled.
Not sure how precise they can be for objects which hit the atmosphere from 19 degrees above the horizon. You might get more deaths from the resulting evacuation than we saw from this impact.
A friend of mine but this into his car but the idea may work with buildings as well. His ideas was that potential thieves always try the doors first because they might be unlocked so he put microswitches into the door handles and had them immediately set off the alarm.
But my thought is for the door handle to alert the owners by SMS so that they can go there immediately. You want to know about the first thing which happens to give you more time.

So two userlands are installed in parallel. They don't "go away" and "appear". Its just a matter of fiddling with PATH and loader paths.
CSIRO suggests 100 square kilometres of algal ponds
A tiny fraction of our existing stock of algae lakes, algae rivers, etc.

Normal coal burning plants could collect all their exhaust as well. It would cost part of their energy output, but not all
I think it means circuit breaker.
Kernel and userland are android. The skin is from ubuntu.
My guess is that a transponder on the bus triggers the charging field, so you won't be able to charge for long.
That's still plenty of free electricity for anyone willing to grab it, just hop to the bus stop if you see a bus approaching and enjoy.
The strongest field will, of course, be under the bus.
Only powering the field when the bus is on top.

Well yeah its kinetic energy was huge. If it was one metre across and hit at 100km/s that would be huge too.

I would be worried that it would hire hit squads to force a merger with competing AIs.
BASICs were implemented in hardware!
WTF? My 6502 system had BASIC in the ROM, not the CPU.
