    but they can be used for the appliances I mentioned. you don't need 57kbytes/sec for a terminal you know, nice and easy 9600 kbs or even less is fine

    bunches of gang bangers and looters getting shot into hamburger? I'm not seeing downside.

  3. Re:Check out Detroit on Tesla's Already Shopping For More Office Space · · Score: 1

    In these United States we have these things called railways, ports and interstate highways; whereby a factory does NOT need to be located either near raw materials nor point of consumption. There are many factories in the very major US city I live near, and they receive materials and ship product globally

    Your're confused, the totals for a state have nothing to do with the percentage of electricity produced by nuclear power, were the gigafactory located say ten miles from Palisades

  5. Re:Doesn't an orbit require gravity? on Rosetta Achieves Orbit Around Comet · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wrong, the comet has sufficient gravity to hold Rosetta in an orbit, thrusters will be used for corrections. Look it up facts of the matter on proper scientific website rather than the usual watered-down drivel people such as yourself normally read.

    you are wrong. This comet has 3 trillion kg of mass and escape velocity of 0.5 meter / sec.

    you are saying U.S. startups should be free to inject untested compounds into Africans, because they might "get lucky". Reason fails you.

  9. Re:Secret for how long? on "Secret Serum" Used To Treat Americans With Ebola · · Score: 1

    it was untested! you're saying ok for US startup to test something that might even kill someone on some Africans, cause you know whose going to miss some dead darkies 10,000 miles away?

    This was test on US patients who were medical people, who know full well the risks.

    No, it does not need to be supplied with either solar or wind power. Michigan has nuclear power. The batteries don't care from where the factories electricity comes

    Not secret at all, you could have invested in the startup that made the serum (whether the stuff even works has yet to be seen)

    I can stomach a little of it, as long as they don't go off the deep end with actual discussion of assembling a system or god forbid picking up a soldering iron to actually build a thing. This isn't BYTE magazine in the 1970s after all, we've evolved beyond technical knowledge and skills

    banks and insurance companies still use OpenVMS, which has clustering and filesystem features GNU/Linux and Unix have yet to evolve. Why do you mention Debian, it has no ability to run OpenVMS software
