can't call any mathematical theorem an "absolute truth", for any system of theorems there must be precepts which are accepted without proof, the axioms.

NYSE Moves to Linux
·
· Score: 2, Informative
NYSE moves to Nonstop on Itanium2, and oh yeah also some GNU/Linux x86 servers on the side.
Time will tell if Nonstop is as good on Itanium as it was on MIPS.
you must be confusing opensolaris with solaris, you won't be recompiling your Sun-mandated & supported closed source solaris. If you ran opensolaris you'd be totally unsupported.
the Solaris that is paid for and is required for a sun supported platform, is NOT OpenSolaris, however much may be in common. Solaris is closed source, period.
you don't get a link, if you can't understand why a nuclear process is thousands of times as energetic as a chemical one no link will help you.
You can't even reason correctly about an engineering problem, no need to meet 100% of our electric needs in the next five decades, growing to 30 or 40% from 20% will do nicely.
And a link to a (badly formatted) web page by two fringe nutjobs proves nothing, the economics of nuclear power work out just as well as oil (include most military spending) or other fossil fuel subsidized energy source.
You don't need to buy into anything, already happening. Apparently most of the educated engineering world disagrees with your assessment of the economics, and so the plants are being built.
so you work with systems that are either poorly maintained or run buggy software.
Having worked with all the major flavors of Unix over almost twenty years, I've found the major GNU/Linux distros can be just as reliable. And I've encountered the occasional core-dumping bugs in HPUX, Solaris, AIX that were show stoppers (read patch lists for any of them, *someone* had to be a victim of the bad oopses.)
Windows is a desktop system that's been stretched into something it had no business attempting, though maybe server 2003 is good enough for enterprise use.
why not truck backup pair of generators on-site for those pumps (hell, those can't be anything like the generators for coolant systems of 2.5GW PWRs I've been at, gotta be tiny), get any needed priority ISI & FAC inspections done and leave all the chicken shit for another outage?
since we won't have to do uranium extraction from seawater for at least 4,000 years, I'll make a wild guess a very cheap solution will be found by then if we really needed fission power at that time.
so nuclear is subsidized.....so is everything else, oil even more so. Commerce is subsidized with interstate, the internet was subsidized...good gawd, what was the real cost the interstate highway system, so huge we shouldn't have built the bitch, I'm sure.
who is it profitable for, stockholders and anyone who can use electricity to make a profit. At my current job I do that running a computer or twelve.
Smarter ways and cleaner ways to produce power or not, doesn't matter, the choice has been made for mankind, the 21st century is the century of fission power. u-235 at 3-4% PWR for now and more nifty things later.
long term storage? there's the flaw in your thinking right there, the so-called "spent fuel" is a gold mine of energy, it's over 95% untapped in its current condition. It will all be burned up in breeder reactors. All the major powers outside the U.S. are developing breeding technology - China, Russia, India.
The cost of the fuel is then negligible.
And the enriched fuel is about $1650 a kg, from which electricity is made at a cost of half a cent per KWh. Very profitable, and that's why the whole world is going nuclear.
how apropos, right now the bottom of the slashdot web page declares "you will be the victim of a bizarre joke"; taking seriously a jest in a forum such as this is called getting trolled.
I understand very well the ratio of required energy for a polymer absorption process compared to a conversion of matter to energy with a c squared term. Do you?
I'll agree parrot is fascinating, and of course the only reason I was spouting off about Perl 6 is because I've used Perl 4 and 5 for many years and I actually do get the Pugs newsletter and follow Perl 6 development. In other words, a part of me actually cares, but I've been hugely dissapointed in what I'm seeing, Perl 6 is trying to be too much.
actually, the act of synthesis releases net energy too, there are even sealed thorium breeder designs that produce power for 30 years without refueling.
And once all the land based thorium and uranium reserves are burned up tens of centuries from now, then there's uranium extraction from seawater, and the amount of that is so absurdly huge it's useless to even say how long that would support fission power, geological timescales!
see my "doh!" followup, meant to say U238 -> Pu239, but really the long term solution, if we have to go nuclear rather than using the free fusion reactor in the sky, is in thorium reactors which can also be engineered to breed and burn all the spent fuel we have lying about
oops, meant Pu-239 created from U-238 in heavy water reactor, neutrons from small amount of U-235 in natural or even depleted uranium can then do their thing!
U-235 can be created, even from just natural uranium in a heavy water reactor. And thorium can be bred into U-233, and the planet has thorium for thousands of years even at present growth rates.
well, I was in my mid-thirties when Perl 6 design was started (36 in 2000 A.D.), but now I'm four years into middle-age, maybe my children will know the answer, heheh.
Back in 2003 there was a blog poster (google alan perl 6 new book site:bleaklow.com) with mock cover of a Perl 6 O'Reilly book with a flying creature designed by a committee on it, on that end of that page you can see wisecrack comment in 2005 that the post and picture were still accurate and maybe Debian would have next release and Hurd would come out before Perl 6. And oh my goodness, both of those really came true, Debian 4 and Debian/Hurd distro came out!

no, I can define axioms of system where your statement is provably false.
can't call any mathematical theorem an "absolute truth", for any system of theorems there must be precepts which are accepted without proof, the axioms.

I'm curious about the 7.62mm. was that a 7.62 x 39 or 7.62 x 51mm?

but how about snakes in a plane @ 100,000 feet, did they think of that??!!!

I'm not believing a word of what you say until Al Gore makes a movie full of sensationalist claims of impending disaster about it.

really? This Kubuntu of mine doesn't look very GNOMEy.

no worries, an herb has prior art on the name.
