Yeah like that health nut Dr. Walford who claimed he was going to live to be 150 on calorie restricted diet. Well, he sure avoided any chance of cardio disease when he flopped over dead at slightly less than average lifespan for US citizen. ah well, it's the thought that counts
That's complete rubbish, civilization has extended lifespan. The groups mentioned in the slashdot summary have one thing in common, average lifespan well below average of first world citizen.
No, the points you raise are irrelevant. All government science programs are constrained by budget and other things, regardless of countries. So what, do you even have a point?
NASA has had incredible accomplishments with Mars exploration for over 40 years, limited budget and all.
Yes, the bloated pigware Sun/Oracle has put into Solaris is against the Unix philosphy and bad. I speak as Sun Certified Systems Engineer with 24 years experience in Solaris/SunOS. Happy?
MacOSX is a desktop system, who cares how complex Apple makes it to be easy for non-admin to use? not relevant to this discussion of a bloated complex thing for servers.
A complex startup system that logs to a database rather than a text log, is just poor engineering.
And to answer any systemd apologist who will mention that it can configured to log to syslog, that won't help if there is a problem in the vast complexity of systemd that prevents it from ever getting started to that point.
Just the requirement for dbus proves systemd far too complex and bloated a thing, it is against the Unix way of doing things. Failures and problems in a needlessly complicated black box may well be too difficult to even troubleshoot
The finite state machine is the only model your digital computer can do
Actions of human can't be simulated with arbitrary precision (nor can animals nor the stock market nor the weather nor even something as simple as the path of an electron held in a potential well), your assertion that any physical thing can be simulated with arbitrary precision is laughable and naive in the extreme. You might want to research a concept known as quantum mechanics.
but what kind of samplers, there are many types geared to specific concerns. and even of the kind that "absorb everything" for later analysis who knows what they look for?
Human brains are not binary computers and there is no hope of a binary finite state machine becoming a concious entity. A bunch of relays (or pneumatic or hydraulic values for that matter0 is not self-concious, and no amount of them however interconnected will become conscious, self-aware, or have feelings. The stupidity and illogic of otherwise intelligent people believing that nonsense is amazing.
And your 120GWp wind is only worth 33 GW continuous.
Averaged out, human civilization uses 15 TW continuously. Spending 60 billion total to have a way to produce a large chunk of that $15 trillion worth of power is chump change.
doubt what, that there is sufficient energy to power a civilization that will have a peak number of humans around 2075 or so? And resources don't disappear either, metals and minerals and such are still around, even if in landfills or in some form it would take energy to reclaim.
No energy source makes more energy than is put in, and that's not a goal of any fusion project. Fusion fuel stores some energy that is released upon fusing (some mass is converted to energy). We merely would like to get the energy stored in a fusion fuel, without spending more energy heating or compressing the fuel to get it fusing than is in the fuel. Right now on earth we spend a hundred dollar bill on heating and compressing the fuel, and get back a penny of fusion energy, so to speak.
There are GUI tools in Linux desktops that do what "grep" does (which is NOT a Linux thing per se but is 40+ years old utility). There are sites on the net that list systems and devices that Just Work with Linux, there are system vendors that tout LInux compatibilty and even contribute kernel modules, drivers and programs just for Linux (my HP Officejet is fully supported in Linux, for example).
We do have a functioning fusion reactor. It has about four and a half billion years left worth of fuel. It pours more energy into the earth alone than a hundred civilizations could use, to say nothing of the untapped energy it pours elsewhere.

It's easy to do, at night when the Sun is dark
Good god man, Hans Bethe worked out the fusion processes in the Sun in the late 1930s.

. Now there is no Mac OSX server, just a "server add-on" pile of utilities for Mac OSX desktop. Never was a hit...

There, your questions have been answered.
A complex startup system that logs to a database rather than a text log, is just poor engineering.

the ONE country eh? No other country has put orbiters around Mars and landers on Mars multiple times in the last 40 years?
As for reduced cost, this Indian probe doesn't have a quarter the capability of NASA MRO
But give them a couple decades, they'll be where NASA is now

and that's $15 trillion *per year* worth of electricity.

they DO show up in air samples, alternative coverage of this article mentioned Tasmania, Australia
carbon tet and other degreasers used to just seep into the soil in "cleaning pits", I know buildings where that went on for half the 20th century.
you are missing the fact that the presidents mentioned used their office as bully pulpit to push for those laws
halon and the old refrigerants certainly are NOT liquid at STP, you are blathering about carbon tet perhaps but this thread was about venting HVAC
such things are vented from old AC systems and fire suppression systems all the time, rather than properly pumped and destroyed
that is false, cargo ships cover the planet
