Nevermind the fact that with your moon-based solar array, you'll be in near or absolute darkness for 10-14 days at a time, generating -ZERO- power.:-) So take that estimate of yours, double it, and add in 1,000 miles of power cable.
Me personally, zero. But my group of friends collectively has somewhere around 50 kids, only one of which has developed anything remotely cancerous (brain tumor @ 2yo).
It's working great for the post office... granted, sometimes FedEx or UPS are better choices, but they all use the same Roads (which are woefully falling apart).
That is unfounded speculation. Knowing what is now known about the state of the Titanic's steel quality, it is entirely possible that a 30,000 ton behemoth crashing at 24 knots into a giant immovable rock would have split the ships back and sent her to the depths near instantly. Ignoring for a moment the intelligence and survivability of hitting a brick wall at breakneck speed (which at these masses, 24 knots was), if you didn't stop, you were going to deflect to one side or another, and if you did, that you probably would have torn a hole through the ENTIRE length of the ship.
Nevermind that research has also shown that if the ship did indeed fill evenly, it likely would have capsized an hour earlier than it sank, killing far more people than it did. If you'd like, I'll find a link to the history/discovery special where they tested this in a scale model tank.
The only thing that could have saved the Titanic was traveling slower through an area reported to be filled with pack ice.
Off-topic, but what do you use, exactly? I was interesting in HP's PcBlades at one point for supporting my remote and offshore users, but they didn't seem to have a roadmap for the product - IE yet another EOL'd product that just hadn't sold all it's inventory yet.
I did see another company making 1ghz bladeservers (cubic or something) ?
I live in the most populated areas of Massachusetts and I have no fewer than three reactors within 50 miles of me. Let's see your data on birth defect/cancer rates, please.
Comparing an American/European PWR to Chernobyl is scaremongering.
The solution to rail travel time is long fast loops. You take 25 mile loops, with short 2-3 miles deceleration sidings, and spin a car off as it nears it's station, it's then programmed to accelerate back into the main loop, and the vast majority of people travel near 70-80 miles per hour.
100 pounds isn't much when it's a hot chick naked in your arms or a small compact box. But make it 5000 cubic inches and almost bigger than your arms can reach, and it seems like it's 200.
Yes, but there are also other files present that are not at all documented (ISTR IIS configuration being one of these black holes - it's recently (2006+) gotten a lot better through COM automation/WMI) I guess my point is with text files, configuration management is a joke
diff -u file1 file2 patch < file.patch
Windows has a plethora of configuration tools and options, almost all of which can be managed from textfiles/commandline, but the mechanisms and many and varied. Unix is 99% text file.
I don't think I'm trying to imply that Windows is impossible or bad (on the contrary, I LOVE Windows). It's just not as easy to create reproducible environments and configurations on, short of virtualization and snapshotting.
Yes, but much of Windows configuration is *HARD* to capture in batch form - it's either obfuscated, obscured, or deliberately made impossible to get, and requires significant reverse-engineering. This is not true of most Unix platforms.
Reproducibility and change control are hard to do in Windows (not impossible by any shot) but far harder than every Unix platform.
You don't take a brand new architecture (.net) and get more experienced coders than 30+ year experienced cobol and C programmers or a more reliable platform.
I'll fight you to the death about the first, but will agree with you about the last. Even though I think as a movie it was damn good... LotR ended pretty boringly as well... I call it the "neverending denouement."
Your Russian heritage duly noted - there was a tremendous fear post-breakup that that's exactly what would have happened. Not that the government would have sanctioned it, but that economic survival would have driven nuclear and rocket scientists to defect/emigrate en-masse to unfriendly countries.
That's why I'm sort of convinced that Sarah Palin wasn't chosen to be VP based just on her experience, but primarily her ethic (assuming there are no major holes there) and that she's a woman, so that when McCain doesn't run in 2012, she's a viable contender against Hilary. If McCain wins or loses, it'll be Palin vs. Hilary in o-12.
Any recognizable person, and potentially places and objects, in photography used for marketing needs a clear title of usability, usually provided through model releases and copyright releases. Good luck taking a picture of me and using it to sell your youtube-clone service.

My personal thoughts on ads are:
if you're trying to subsidize bandwidth costs, then turning 10K of content into 2000K of content with jpgs, gifs, flash ads and stylesheets, I'm probably going to turn your ads off. If you do something unobtrusive like google-ads, I might not be so tempted... then again, noscript blocks google-syndication.com so how many of those I don't see on a daily basis is unknown.

Indeed. I remember when SMS messages were free, and I paged my cellphone instead of having to carry a pager all the time.
January 28, 1986 to be exact. A little thing called "Challenger."
To be fair, it HAS been 22+ years since one caused a major problem.
May I direct you to www.directlauncher.com which has some specific complains about the Ares program.

Anyhow, I'm interested.

Which is why I have always wanted to work at Microsoft. I wanted to be the guy who brought fork() to Win32.
sigh.
All the power of threading, with all the memory protection of a full process context... sigh.

What, you don't have your database server on dedicated UPS?
Changing the batteries on your controllers isn't part of your standard preventative maintenance?

Feeding your family is a damn good motivator.
Hell, you could bolt the X38 to a Delta IV and just be done with the whole Constellation project.

After having just watched Death Race, I'm thoroughly convinced we're heading there...
Five years ago, 1GB memory sticks were roughly at the price 20-30GB sticks are now. Now they're practically giving them away...
Not true at all.
