  1. Re:If only the professor knew. on Electricity From Salty Water · · Score: 1

    but attempts to leave were made and to make communication with the outside world. The professor just wasn't good enough at boat building to make a repair that would last for the thousand mile journey, and the waters said to be heavily shark infested for rafts.

    nah, Gilligan obviously was the Skipper's bitch. And that old upper-crust couple seemed a sham marriage to hide Thurston's homosexuality.

  3. Re:distibution on Are RAID Controllers the Next Data Center Bottleneck? · · Score: 1

    eh, properly designed systems using the big disk arrays certainly don't have a single point of failure. And their data is replicated to other big disk arrays in other locations. That's why they cost "the big bucks". Your cloud is fine for relatively low-speed low-security read-mostly data, but not for high-volume financial and healthcare systems

    the real stupidity of the Professor was that as a straight guy he wasn't shagging the girls.

  5. Re:Not a crisis on 'Power Capping' the Datacenter · · Score: 1

    uh no, future won't be spent underwater, despite whatever Al Gore's sensationalist bullshit movie said.

    by the way, the ocean levels have been rising since the last ice age. Man might be making them rise a wee bit faster, so really all these place you see on new evacuating because of higher ocean level are doing so because they were right at ocean level. Might as well move now since they would have had to move later anyway.

  6. Re:Not a crisis on 'Power Capping' the Datacenter · · Score: 1

    nothing to understand, we have coal sufficient for centuries and the means to make it into every major type of hydrocarbon fuel. No crisis. No peak oil.

  7. Re:Finally on First New Nuclear Reactor In a Decade On Track · · Score: 1

    no, not gigawatt, we'd have to build more of them.

    some in low hundreds of megawatts range, quite true they won't replace a dual 1 GW Unit PWRplant. and they take up LOTS of real estate with cold sink. Higher operating temperature increases thermal efficiency to 45 percent though

  8. Re:Finally on First New Nuclear Reactor In a Decade On Track · · Score: 1

    fortunately, man's entire power consumption (and therefore power dissipation) is entirely negligible compared to input from the Sun. Global warming is due to too much of the Sun's energy being retained, not man's power plants directly heating the air.

  9. Re:The Air Force is right. on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 1

    That solves no ills at all, but increases racism as incompetents hired solely on the basis of race (or gender or war veteran status or any other parameter not linked to ability) are burdensome on employers and co-workers alike.

    Your notion of racism is entirely philosophical. And a stereotype that is 80% or more accurate is a useful generalization.

  10. Re:Finally on First New Nuclear Reactor In a Decade On Track · · Score: 1

    there are advanced reactor designs that need no thermal sinks other than the atmosphere.

  11. Re:The Air Force is right. on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 2, Interesting

    hah, how typical, raising a "racist" smokescreen when someone talks how people with no ability are given jobs they aren't qualified for on the baasis of their race in the name of affirmative action. The truth is affirmative action is racist, only ability should matter.

    yes, and female astronauts #1, #2 and #3 strapped their steel dildos on and sodomized astronaut #4 the male twink.

    instead of difficult compression algorithms, I've a better solution for embedding text information in ascii porn. I'll share it as soon as the patent is granted.

  16. Re:Still limited on New Service Converts Torrents Into PNG Images · · Score: 1

    to make that work someone would also have to invent a Text and Associated Image Peruser client and also a standard Peruser protocol.

    no, no. these are the original faked mission tapes, CGI done with analog computers, otherwise known as anal-CGI, done by way of the non-linear characteristics of the bridge-rectum-fryer driving a sextode W. Allen orgasmotron.

  21. Re:High Thrust, High Specific Impulse (Isp) on Successful Test of Superconducting Plasma Rocket Engine · · Score: 1

    the designs I have seen are of reactors used to launch from earth oceans, because the weight makes a chemical stage underneath it an absurd proposition.

  22. Re:Sorry: Not News on Social Security Numbers Can Be Guessed · · Score: 1

    absolutely false, since I've worked with this issue: duplicate issuing of numbers is detected in over 4,000 tax returns per year in the USA - other means are used to help identify unique people. So problem is probably on the order of 10,000 duplicate numbers in existence.
