I'm no expert, but I don't believe the amounts are enough to generate any useable amount of power... also you'd have to somehow build antennas of various lengths to capture that radiation.
Not to mention the fact that we'd have to send another team of deep well drillers up to put holes in things. The last mission had tremendous loss of manpower and equipment. Although, somehow Bruce Willis survived and came back to Earth to continue his film career.
But with DF you are limited on the embark area... so you have to balance your options.
The interesting thing (to me) is that DF requires that you build your contraptions using actors (the dwarfs) instead of manually placing all the items yourself. So you have to balance a population of labor's needs with your final goal. You can, of course, cheat in both games. But I still wouldn't place DF on a throne of gold. Toady can only do so much and it feels like things are slowing down.
To be totally truthful (fair?) to the casual reader, you cannot make infinitely large creations because mechanics (redstone, pistons, et al.) do not operate if you are too far away.
I run an SMP server on Debian and I've never had the issues you discuss... i did modify a script to download the latest version, diff the jars and update if needed. That's it though. It's just me and a friend that play, but I'm going on two weeks now without a hiccup. The only reason I've shut it down was to update the command line options to play with different values for performance.
There's nothing spectacular in the command line options I use... java -Xmx3072M -Xms3072M -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
Who still carries a briefcase? I've spent the last few years trying to reduce the number of things I carry. I got a keyless car system in my latest car so I stick the thing in my pocket and forget about it. I walk out of work with my sunglasses on and nothing in my hands. I don't wear a coat all year, so what do I do with the thing in the summer months?
I even geeked out in my profile and listed the games I play like Warhammer 40K and such, hoping to attract like minded guys who don't believe that women who game exist. Hasn't improved my response rate but then again I don't think guys are searching for those terms because, again, they don't think we're there.
Hah, I've looked for gamers before. "Gamer" has a different meaning (as you know) to people and I would get all sorts of profile hits... none of them for video games. (I take that back. There was one woman who flat out refused to return messages for people who said they were video gamers.) It's not an easy search to perform. Sure, you could look for genres or specific games (like 40K) but then you feel like you have to stick to that genre/game... and I don't do that well. I tend to jump around.
I'm apparently going to have to try OKCupid since practically everyone here seems to be getting better results than I've been having elsewhere (Match, eHarmony, plentyoffish... or something like that). I'll admit, I'm to the point of accepting that I'll be alone (going on 34). That doesn't bother me like it would some. I enjoy quiet and don't feed on social interaction like some people.
Anyway, thanks for the post and I'm sure you'll do fine. I guess I see it as: People wouldn't be on a dating site if they were just looking for conversation though. Maybe view it differently and I'm sure with the two prior husbands you're getting pretty fed up with the "game". I couldn't even begin to imagine.
I tried eHarmony. I gave it a damned good try actually. Year sub, all the quizzes, profile, etc. Even the "Real ID". I've never felt so ripped off in my life. That was the main site I got nothing from the other side. I struck up conversations because I initiated them. I never once got questions from the women.
I ended up cancelling and getting a refund later when I found out that picking no magazine doesn't mean "opt-out" it means, send me whatever you think I want and they wouldn't quit sending me the magazine. I'm still fighting with the magazine company and eHarmony to get them to stop.
They may be out there, but the unfortunate part is that none of them initiate the conversations. I don't consider myself an unattractive person, but I've never had a woman wink/poke/etc. or initiate conversation. It's like they all just post their profile and hope someone picks them. I may as well go out to a bar with that sort of "dating". As usual, it's always up to the guy to start the conversation and the woman gets to weed out the candidates.
It's not like I don't start conversations. I've had many on these sites and sometimes we meet up, other times we call it before. It's mainly that I have to do all the legwork to get things rolling. For once, It would be nice to have someone else start the ball rolling.
I personally don't find it rude at all. I don't expect people to stare me straight in the eyes while I talk about mundane crap. If they aren't listening, who cares? Me? No.

I can't get them on my Playstation? :p
Part of the point of blocking ads is loading performance and privacy.
I haven't read up on it lately, but I thought the chrome adblock would not prevent the ad from being requested/downloaded. It would only hide it.

The article mentions why solar was ruled out. Battery weight was one of them.
It's 15 euros now (about $22).

It depends on the person. Some people are more hands on. This is why we have hardware and software engineers.

Do you know that there isn't water in that vacuum? ;)

It's kind of like Ford not making cars anymore.

Obviously it won't work. He's only taking one part of two pi roots. That's like ordering a salad.
I hear the lineup next year is actually Ghost Wrestling Hunter Zombies... 24/7.
Had a friend drop her pager (when those were still used...) in when she pulled down her pants and it came un-clipped.

Games and development, I thought that was the norm here... the only things left out are sleep and caffeine. Who has time for middle ground?
