nevertheless we do practical things with nuclear transmutation, from medical applications to electronics (-quiz question) to power plants. And we make practical use of particles other than electron, proton, neutron and photon.
if you haven't noticed, the Unix(tm) world is self-destructing mostly due to greed. SCO Unix, IRIX, HP/UX, Solaris.....going, going and soon mostly gone. AIX a little different, just fading because IBM would rather push other solutions. Unix(tm) lost. BSD used hugely in the control/appliance space. But Unix lost. Your beloved Unix generally won't have a flavor that scales from cell phone to massive SMP machine, or from single processor server to massive parallel supercomputer. But Linux covers that, and BSD *could* but usually is chosen not too.
No, several internationally funded telescopes are. They provide information on the cosmos beyond the Standard Model and are giving us new physics. Accelerating expansion of the universe, dark matter, variations in the CMB from the dawn of space-time....we can't build accelerators big enough to probe that scale of physics.
in small quantities, the C-13 is $200 / gram. less of course in bulk. the major market right now is pharmy. c12 is waste product of that process, it's cheap.
Even our war on various "Taliban" groups in Afghanistan falls into that category, we are mostly not attacking those that attacked us on 9/11, they were long gone years ago and operating elsewhere. But on the plus side, our CIA gets to move drugs for the drug lords there, that's how they get funding when Congress overtly says no. Remember kids, we're fighting both sides of the War on Drugs
we did NOT get quantum mechanics from either special nor general relativity; in fact the first quantum mechanical equations were the non-relativistic form. Adding relativity to them gave us model for thing known as "spin"
do a little research, lab grown pure carbon diamonds approach the cost of a gemstone at sizes over half a carat, cheaper for a smaller one. but that means on the order of some few thousands of dollars, not whatever you are imagining.
you won't own a house, forget about it. your spouse needs to get a job. education at your age is a scam, it won't help you as employers only care about your experience in what they are immediately using. be thankful you haven't been out of work for over a year like many.
How does the $600 billion for defense budget, $120 billion for ongonig "wars", fit into your comparisons? we have over ten times the military needed for any "insurance", their purpose is armed robbery, coercion, genocide.
so what? smaller paying userbase is better than larger nonpaying one, IF your goal is to make money. but some of us have other goals with the software we give away.
The laugh is that those 1960s sytems had, for additional money, configurations for 24x7 uptime. Here we supposedly design for that with the cloud architecture, and fail. I would not be surprised at all if the modern mainframe were a cost effective alternative to this bloated expensive cloud.
war is the basic building block of our particular civilization. if we waste money on your frivolities, how will we afford war & keep war machine shareholder value?
and what country are you from, mister I-use-USA-idioms-in-my-posts? Even if you are foreign to the USA, no doubt your country's government is a USA bitch.
That is no longer true. We have government under control of wealthy elite, cartels. It is very much a disconnectd entity stealing from us, taking away our rights, turning our country into a fascist police state.
wrong. it is not ok to enforce laws made by politicians in the pockets of power and money grubbing scum such as the RIAA. It is not ok to allow "allegations" of infringement without a shred of proof to be the basis for denying anyone the service for which they have paid.
you are funny. XP has been running fine for me for almost a decade with 768MB of RAM for running websites that require IE, Microsoft Office & H&R Taxblock, try that with your windows 7
the Government that gropes your crotch because The Terrorist Boogeymen are everywhere. The Government that wars on people who did not attack us while hyping a War on Terror. The government that has our soldiers guard and ship drugs, and protect drug lords, while making anti-drug campaigns and outlawing useful chemicals and equipment because 'only a drug maker would use them'. A government that declares it has the right to kill citizens it suspects are terrorists without trial while hyping a War on Terror because the Terrorsts are Everywhere.

we then salute the bidet, and its enabling effect on the morale of clean-assed boffins
pf is great stuff but has bottleneck, just single threaded

No need for a cluster, a single one can do a whole planet at the right time, as the Mayans knew

GNU/Linux is not a Unix(tm), but those of us older than Unix and Unix(tm) know it is a unix

I saw a faggon produced by that mechanism a few years ago at halftime; his name was The Artist Formerly Known As Prince

Are you too stupid to research before spouting off? cutting "all the power" was rather difficult, as it came from two utilities and onsite generation.

the flavor of Ubuntu known as Xubuntu is fine. Even the KDE flavor Kubuntu fixed the initial crap of KDE 4.0/4.1 a couple years ago.
