The article says 1 gigawatt (that's 1 billion [US] watts) from a structure that would cost ~$53 million to build. What are the drawbacks? Why hasn't someone built one yet? That seems a lot cheaper than mining, shipping, and burning coal. Expensive maintenance costs? May not be cheaper than the status quo for the current energy manufacturers, but what about some Richard Branson type?
If my old Commodore64 used less power than my Pentium IV I should switch back? What about if a CRT uses less power than my new HDTV of similar size? Sometimes there are other reasons to choose a product than simply power consumption.
The machine is only running at about 30% of the speed it did originally. It appears that their ISP is throttling their packets for some reason. Comcast cited DMCA violations as the reason for the packet shaping.
I'm always hesitant when I see phrases like "construct a winning strategy"... Cut the BS, what's going to make it better for me that what's out there already?

This reminds me of something... Where was it that allowed paying members to see the content earlier? I can't remember.
It doesn't work because you're missing two bits.
When you pull up their laptop page, there are two links. "Customize with Windows XP" and "Customize with Windows Vista". Same price.
What does Congress have against funding for exploration of Mars? What's the purpose for that?
For that price it should come with a lifetime subscription. Actually, it might just be cheaper to switch to meth.
No desks? Laptops on for 8 hours? You do the math.
The journalist at the Guardian looks like somebody I'd expect to find here.
What the hell is sleath? Is that supposed to be "stealth"?
Maybe that's how they spell "you're screwed" in Switzerland.
Diggle.
Maybe talented coders like to get paid better.
Thanks for putting that into concrete terms.
"The code released by Asus brings the company into compliance with its obligations under the GPL and should satisfy most of the critics."

And those critics that aren't satisfied by that will all be regulars here at

Some days it's just too easy.
But 5 grand could still be written off as a 'gift'. Plausible deniability.
"Bribe? What bribe? That was a holiday gift."
If they dropped $250k in his lap, that's a bribe. Hard to talk your way out of that one.
Treatments for cancer can be terrible. I'm glad that your mom made it through and is still able to be with you.
Get back to work, Chuck. Harry Tang is coming.
Crank up the halon system, this ought to be good.
Isn't Hänchen German for chicken? That would make him Goos Chicken.
I'm going to start requiring my traffic to be sent in Euro packets. These American packets don't hold their value across long ping times.
Then don't play. It really IS that simple. If you're having too big of a problem with that, put the mouse down and go join a support group.
I'd rather have somebody do something about that slasher outside...
