"Indeed. Large (dangerous) asteroids do not survive their descent. Ever. "
Cape York Group (which when you put all the fragments together outweighs Hoba by about ten tons, with the two largest fragments coming in at nearly 52 tons combined.) Willamette. Mbosi. Bacubirito.
All of those hit the earth with nuclear force and you can prove that by the stishovite found at each site. They all survived, otherwise we'd not have them in our physical possession and recorded.
This is funny coming from a moron who obviously never leaves the house, otherwise you'd know that quite often these places have FULL LOTS, thus your only choice is to stay parked at the pump.
Try getting out of your fucking cave, child, and go see the world.
I don't think you understand just how determined meth heads can be when it comes to breaking into shit. Even the dumb ones know how to use a wedge to split sistered boards (copper thieves.)
Sistering 2x4s? Nope, you either use 4x4 or 4x6 for anything where you want serious strength and holding capability (secured door frames, corner supports on load-bearing walls, etc.) Sistered 2x4s are so easy to rip through and also a waste of nails/screws.
Son, at 2W you need nothing more than a voltage drop and resistor to control the incoming power. Linear power supply not even fucking required. Everything else should already be baked into the chip or on the logic board. 10:1 step-down transformer (tiny one) and a couple of resistors and capacitors and inductors - bam I have a stable cheap and usable 12V power supply. 90+% efficiency at the sheer tiny size of the circuit since I only need to pull ~200mA.
Come back when you design power circuitry and supplies.
" There is no universe where a linear power supply with enough capacity to power a computer is going to be light, cheap, or efficient enough to be useful in consumer computer systems going in to 2020."
Spoken like a true moron with only one definition of computing.
Bear this in mind - everything you're doing now was shit you were already doing in the 90s (assuming you were even alive, then.)
If the idiots behind the scenes now days would learn how to code to the bare metal, we could be kicking ass on a 2w PIII at a couple GHz.
"P.P.S. This is coming from someone living in a house with solar panels w/ microinverters who has saved 84.1 kWh out of 1600 kWh used over three months"
I'm in the middle of the fucking SoCal desert and I don't even hit 1/3 of that monthly. To boot, if your panels and inverters suck that much, your fucking fault for falling for marketing instead of doing the math yourself. You're on this site, so you've got ZERO reason to have not done the math, here.
Basic math failure, and physics makes no distinction between which direction the energy flows - amperage is amperage, period. Any Kill-A-Watt plugged into the nearest receptacle with your chosen device attached will do more than enough to prove it.
Not saying it works flawlessly, but rollback has been around since Windows 98. Linux? As of 2011 at least, the general consensus is reinstalling being faster than fixing the problem under Linux. Gee, that's the EXACT SAME SOLUTION for Windows.
" At the moment the most likely route will be Google's offering"
Enjoy Google sniffing and stealing your shit with their machine learning. I just learned they did exactly that to me and sold the knowledge out of my e-mail database to fucking China. How? One of my e-mails ended up getting re-routed and the idiot that received it did a reply-all, thus re-sending the stolen data back to me.
Google is heavily invested in stealing your technology. Same way Spez is heavily invested in pleasing u/SuperAngryGuy (aka Thomas Jenner) and ruining the lives of many others that did horticulture that tried to get exposure on Reddit. Kickbacks are guaranteed.
"How does that work with a closed-source product like Windows?"
Easy - you just mis-click or mis-type something and see that it fucks up. Basic fucking observation, something you Linux n00bs (including you man-page writers) fail to understand.
"Microsoft finally released their securest version of Microsoft Windows Operating System in their history"
Yet the ad-ridden sleep/user selection screen is still as vulnerable as it was in Windows ME, actually moreso since it can actually execute code in the background from those ads.
Considering 'voting with your feet' got replaced with 'voting with your wallet' DECADES ago, no fucking wonder you don't expect to see people voting with their feet in your lifetime.

"I think it's extremely naive to believe audio can be processed efficiently in parallel"
Guess you've never played with an EMU 10K1 chip before, even though those were out in the late 90s.
Further proof that the people using scamcoin are con artists and law breakers.
Looks like someone set up a nice little trap and caught them deleting posts mentioning this.

"One would never leave a car parked at a gas station right at the pump"
Guess they've never been so middle-class as to have to use a combo gas station/chain restaurant before. 76+Subway, anyone?
Just goes even further to show that Tesla is sorely out of touch with societal reality.

"Yeah, I want my computer to have a diesel generator"
This is already a given if you run nVidia GPU + AMD CPU.
" 90 W CPU's are labeled as such because that means they might reach as high as 90 W under a full load."
Wrong, you forget the rule of 80. Reality is they're rated to dissipate higher, and yet tend to fail at a similar percentage at lower temps.
"No office monitor uses 500ma (sic!) anymore even when on at full brightness"
Uhh, yea, just a couple years ago I worked for an LCD repair company.
You're so off on your amperage estimate that you're obviously clueless.
Question: How many amps runs across a typical 95W chip?
Prohint: Likely one order of magnitude higher than you think.
"Not for an AC current, it isn't"
Basic math failure, and physics makes no distinction between which direction the energy flows - amperage is amperage, period. Any Kill-A-Watt plugged into the nearest receptacle with your chosen device attached will do more than enough to prove it.
Back to school with you.
Dude, 1996 just called, and re-pointed out our fucked Telecommunications Act to your ignorant ass.

IOW, fucking useless.

"As soon as it was discovered, a fix was issued 6 days after the bug was discovered. "
And then POODLE came out, utilizing the same shitty code you fuckers thought you fixed.
Try again you Linux coding n00bs.

You expect the average user to know how to read or understand half of that, let alone know how to operate Windows in a proper manner.
-50 geek points for you.
Oh you n00bs with your 'install Linux' nonsense. If a pre-configured read-only LiveCD can't do what you need then Linux isn't for you.
Answer: You simply have no sense of humor.
