Does the Taliban really think there is something special about the cell phone towers?
Sure, shut them down at night. Then fly an AWACS over suspected Taliban areas with its own "cell tower" of hardware and software. Hell, I bet you could package it into a Predator if you felt like it. Taliban operates under the mistaken impression that their communications are safe.
Actually UT Austin has its own natural gas fired power plant. As of 12 years ago, it made enough power to sell excess back to the city. It also had a fairly impressive uptime with only one black out during its entire operational lifetime. Unless the power requirements for UT have grown out of control (there has been A LOT of construction since I graduated), I suspect that there will be little trouble running the computer cluster.
Been there, done that. May not be as far as the moon, but I used to do conference calls between Houston, Anchorage, and Prudhoe Bay. That is two satellite bounces for those of you keeping score at home. Each one was an exercise in meeting discipline. The first step was getting the dork in Anchorage (the only end of the conversation who was alone) to stop using the damned speaker-phone.
Volcanoes are not actually fire, but they would be a good source of heat. For bonus thought-experiment points, imagine a volcano based steel foundry that does not cook the aquatic operators. There are many very difficult problems to solve. Personally, I can imagine solutions, but not how the solutions might be developed.
If a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, then a sufficiently advanced alien is indistinguishable from God. (Is this the Star Trek V argument or something?)
I suppose it is moot anyhow. Occam's razor favors evolution, IMHO.

Sadly, the taliban_all seems to fork processes faster than they can be killed. =[

IT is also available in red or black and blue.
Yes, but how much is the Dairy-air?
Wait, not meta. The other thing.... Banal.
Crysis. With a rig like this you might be able to turn three or four of the effects up to "high".
...Then again, I've been waiting for years for an in-kernel system where only signed-binaries can be run, and that seems nowhere in sight.Hrm... I thought they were already working on something like that.

Screw that, try a real man's OS.
We do not speak that name. That film is DEAD to us. YOU HEAR ME? DEAD!

Erm, excuse me. What does God need with a starship?

Excuse me while I gouge out my mind's eye.
Dude! Just how fat are you to be able to power your TV with 80 milliWatts per m^2?

We have always been at war with EastAsia.
Bah. It's a Ron Paul Offtopic Troll. Use any non-sequitor available to drive people to Ron Paul's site. One step up from astroturfing, IMHO>
What about the green and yellow purple pills?
Solution: Don't wear socks.
I agree. The Operating System in emacs is terrible.
Yeah. It worked really well for SCO.
