Maybe I'm spoiled, but I've seen much bigger, denser datacenters.
Maybe you have but I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die. Wait, what?
And how exactly have I got buoyancy wrong? If you're listing sideways buoyancy is (part of) what rights you. The dipping side is tries to rise up, while the rising side tries to fall down, both because they've changed in depth from where they ought to be. This is an oversimplification, but not an inaccurate one.
A wide hull would only hinder your stability, until the width is a significant multiple of the wavelength (which btw can be hundreds of metres). What you need for stability is a narrow tower structure that extends deep into the sea so that the surface waves don't have any appreciable affect on it. The surface of the sea is chaos and a structure like this needs to endure it rather than adapt to it. See Spar Platforms for example.
I hope they will put it on new navigation maps. But how to update existing maps?
This problem was solved a long time ago, chart updates are made available regularly and large vessels will be obliged to subscribe to the service. In these modern times of electronic charts (most ships use them though they are still required to carry paper charts) updates are easily applied.
Also ships have RADAR so they can see obstructions (other vessels are not marked on charts) plus another more modern invention called AIS which allows vessels to broadcast their position, heading, course and speed and have it overlayed onto the radar plot (and the charts). You can be sure that massive floating platforms will have lights, radar reflectors and an AIS transmitter.
This particular turbine isn't tethered. That's what makes it special - the earlier models work the way you describe.
In fact it is not fixed to the seabed, it definitely is tethered otherwise it would float away. Also, wireless power transmission has not been developed yet (on this scale).
You do know that using wind power on the ocean goes back a ways, right? If we hadn't solved that tipping over problem some time ago, we'd never have build sailboats:-P
You do know that sailboats heel over, right?
All that it takes is a wide keel and some ballast. You just need to be bottom heavy enough to have a low centre of gravity, and be wide enough that if one side starts to sink, buoyancy automatically corrects by lifting that side back to the water line.
Deep keel. Also your views one bouyancy are really quite awry and your ignorance of offshore conditions is showing, sorry.
But then you'll get the people who use hotmail or whatever complaining mailists are sooo hard to use and we should all use web forums - which are just about the worst form of communication ever invented.
The next thing is personal, targeted messaging to deliver ads. [...] A dumb phone may be a smart thing soon.
If the telcos get into it a dumb phone won't be helping you because an SMS is an SMS is an SMS. What you will need is a phone that you can control, think of spamassassin for SMS messages or just plain whitelisting.
No, just the top 2% but they do say that tests vary. IIRC an intelligence test should be tailored to the range that you are expecting the candidate to score in, they must be able to get wrong answers because all questions correct only indicates the test was too easy.
Also, intelligence of young persons varies as they mature, this boy is nowhere near finished with his development and could be a hard pushed early starter or a true star in the making. Its not really possible to know at this stage and there is plenty of time to fall by the wayside..
Open Source software is about freedom, and freedom to do your own thing is definitely a big one. But the Open Source market is also unlike the standard free market. Instead of getting better products due to competition, you get worse products due to the split of resources. By taking interest away from Firefox, Google is possibly killing the only serious competitor to IE.
I don't think open source software is necessarily about what you want it to be. Just because Firefox is better than the competition today doesn't mean that Firefox will always be the best but if nobody tries to make anything better then stagnation will ensue. Monoculture is bad no matter who is director and I would rather see 20 options than 2.
Well now, this kind of enterprisey javascript that loops through an extensive regex on EVERY KEYPRESS causing massive keylag is just what is irritating as hell about web 2.0 sites and I for one don't care if they patent it or not because I don't want to use their site if they want to do it that way.
Different types of dog can interbreed obviously, but I've never heard of seagulls mating with pigeons, or even artificial interbreeding. Is it possible with birds?
Thats why I think dogs are a single species and birds are many.
And, the mm scan can detect mules (drugs carriers) who've been surgically invaded to carry cocaine under their skin. Sure, drug-sniffer dogs can do this, too, but the mm scan might find people who have the scars from previous runs...
While they mention that it is advanced enough to see the "sweat on someone's back", they do admit that it could not scan through plastic or rubber clothing that resemble skin.
So if these become prevalent, it actually becomes easier to dress up a drug mule..
If I find such a device on my car, not only shall I not return it nor pay for it I shall feel free to destroy it, as I did not put it there, and do not want it there.
You could probably just sell it as-is on eBay, make some easy cash!
But if they've already had their allotted child, then they wouldn't be good candidates for this--you want couples who are willing to have kids, but wanting to wait. I doubt you'd get many takers if you told them essentially "We're testing this and if it fails, the State will force you to have an abortion"
So get the government behind it. There are only a limited number of places on the program after all, they could exempt the participants from being penalised for failure. (Of course, the foetus would need to be DNA tested to make sure that the father was a man in the program.) I'm sure they would get plenty of volunteers, especially from couples who had a female child already..
Hopefully they got to be mom when they we're adults, and that's the point here.
I don't see how its at all relevant
You need to be an adult to sign the contract for your shiny new iPhone, also to have a credit card to pay for things at the App store, and to top it all, this app is presumably only of interest to Nine Inch Nails fans who, get this, already listened to their explicit music which is in fact available from iTunes?
Actually, I have no idea if any of that is true since I don't have an iPhone and am not able to run the software to access their marketplace..
"I want to fuck you like an animal / I want to feel you from the inside" is deliberately one of the most inflammatory chorus lines ever seen in the mainstream.. moms seeing those slick iphone commercials and thinking of buying one for christmas might freak if they heard about that song being "promoted" on the app store that their kid will be browsing innocently.
Um, how do you suppose they got to be moms in the first place?
and, I don't understand how its 'inflammatory'? It is crude but hey, thats what immature is all about..

Actually, bits of flaming blimp raining down on a crowd would be pretty terrifying in itself. Remind me to take a tinfoil umbrella.

Now listen carefully I will say this only once. Copyright infringement is not stealing!
Obviously better than hotmail though..

Well I never heard of that but it was quite interesting. btw I don't see the problem with posting the URL in HTML mode, try Goiânia Accident
I don't know what you've been taking, Red Flayer. Just keep taking it lest the End of Days comes upon us unprepared!

and btw, get off my lawn!
Citizens will need longer names, otherwise you will have confusion when your country gets more than 26 citizens.
Apart from that, keep pushing it. Perhaps it will come to the attention of somebody who can demonstrate its flaws (or that there are none :)

Except that I read elsewhere that
