We have a cunning plan to swamp terrorists with so many laptops, USB keys, DVDs, unformatted second-hand computers, external hard drives, secret documents held up to press photos, and so on that the chances of them finding anything of use top them among all the rest of the leaked data is insignificant.
This is however, very borderline. It is, if not illegal, very close, depending on the exact wording of the contracts, and the exact nature of the particular cases (and also depending on the jurisdiction).
You mean like Microsoft paying an "undisclosed sum"/to fund litigation/.. cough.. for Unix licenses.
The guy reckons that people who know least about a complex subject generally think that its simple and that they know a lot about it, whereas experts know that there are many complexities and know that their knowledge is limited.
One can say, write or otherwise annunciate that excessive verbosity can negatively affect or impact the efficiency, ease of use, and supportability of a programming language or idiom. The mechanism of the aforementioned affect is the distracting quality of the spurious constructs, which means the purpose of the code is not immediately obvious. Also authorship of verbose constructs gives a greater opportunity for error and requires more rote learning of syntax.
In other words what you are trying to do gets lost in the syntax.
This is certainly true of most servers, but is it true of virtualised servers in really big data centres? I would have thought that sizing, evening of load, etc. would mean that there would be some level of constant use.
They've become too common for me to suspend disbelief that there really are that many physically aggressive women in this world that beat up men on a regular basis.
You wouldn't say that if you knew my wife. (please don't tell her I wrote this)
I suppose that there are two issues that governments look at. One large satellite could be knocked out accidentally by a collision with space debris. Probably at least as important one large satellite is going to be easier to knock out deliberately by a foreign power.

1. To Indra have the Soma drops, exceeding rich in sweets, been poured, Shed in the seat of sacrifice. 2 As mother kine low to their calves, to Indra have the sages called, Called him to drink the Soma juice. 3 In the stream's wave wise Soma dwells, distilling rapture, in his seat, Resting upon a wiId-cow's hide. 4 Far-sighted Soma, Sage and Seer, is worshipped in the central point Of heaven, the straining-cloth of wool. 5 In close embraces Indu holds Soma when poured within the jars. And on the. purifying sieve. 6 Indu sends forth a voice on high to regions of the sea of air, Shaking the vase that drops with meath. 7 The Tree whose praises never fail yields heavenly milk among our hymns, Urging men's generations on. 8 The Wise One, with the Sage's stream, the Soma urged to speed, flows on To the dear places of the sky. 9 O Pavamana, bring us wealth bright with a thousand splendours. Yea. O Indu, give us ready help.
But haven't we learned already that free isn't always a good thing?
Quite. They will be trying to collect for her on behalf of all the poor penniless lawyers. People need to learn that pro-bono work threatens their livelihood, the economy and the whole of world civilisation.

Just try this. See how long you can stand naked (OK wear some running shorts) in air at 5 degrees centigrade. Probably fifteen minutes standing still or indefinitely if running.
Now see how long you can stay in water at 5 degrees centigrade. For most people it would be less than a minute - you may not even be able to get in.
That's still quite a bit of hot water. I'm sure very little would be used in an office environment. Residential would be more like it if possible.
Perhaps it would be better to engineer the hardware to run warm-hot. Having to chill the water down to outside ambient temp (no compressors needed) would save a lot of energy and cost.
Maybe google could get an environmental initiative grant to provide a staff swimming pool.
While they're doing it they should dump some nuclear waste behind it. You might as well get something useful if you are going to start a major construction project in unspoilt wilderness.

Don't worry. Once we have skynet online all these facilities will be quite safe
We're geeks. We don't care if the terrorists win, just so long as Microsoft doesn't.

Where's the CowboyNeal for President?
I should have said: /to fund litigation/ .. cough .. for Unix licenses.
You mean like Microsoft paying SCO an "undisclosed sum"

That's nice. It will give Hans Reiser something to do.

There's a guy in there named "Semen Semenov." January 13, 1966. I'm not even kidding.
He sounds like a slippery character to me. You know a real slimy type of guy.

It is always good to highlight open-source alternatives in an "advertising" story.

Shed in the seat of sacrifice.

Called him to drink the Soma juice.
3 In the stream's wave wise Soma dwells, distilling rapture, in his seat,
Resting upon a wiId-cow's hide.
4 Far-sighted Soma, Sage and Seer, is worshipped in the central point
Of heaven, the straining-cloth of wool.
5 In close embraces Indu holds Soma when
poured within the jars.
And on the. purifying sieve.
6 Indu sends forth a voice on high to regions of the sea of air,
Shaking the vase that drops with meath.
7 The Tree whose praises never fail yields heavenly milk among our hymns,
Urging men's generations on.
8 The Wise One, with the Sage's stream, the Soma urged to speed, flows on
To the dear places of the sky.

This is IBM... Do you _really_ think they'd design it in such a way that you'd have to take down the whole thing to fix a small section?
You wouldn't have one long pipe running to all of them, with no way to shut off segments/individual nodes.
No, but they might assume that the world will never need more than one hot water system.
Greenpeace is no better than PETA.
I beg to differ. Greenpeace is sleazy, but PETA is a nut-cult.

Great pun - if you've ever been to a PETA buffer you will know that there are plenty of nuts around
