Why not simply have a law where you must drive with "due care and attention". This covers everything from texting to putting on your make-up. No need to mention everything specifically. No need to create new laws for new technology.
"Every participant in public traffic must act such that nobody is harmed or jeopardized, or impeded more than unavoidable."
Hmm. This works pretty well in many parts of the world, e.g. in all of Europe. Repeat after me: Taxes per se are not a Bad Thing. It's all about the total tax burden and what is done with the money. I'd *love* to see higher taxes on gas and reduced income taxes to compensate.
It would be neat to have a deeper look at their budget to see how I can save money and boost performance at work. It's always nice having the newest/fastest systems out there, but it's rarely the reality.
RTFA? There are some pretty detailed docs linked in there.
"The performance of Windows HPC Server 2008 has yielded efficiencies that are among the highest we've seen for this class of machine," Pennington said.
But there's so much more behind this that has not been explored by serious scientists yet but mostly by pop psychology (check out some of the material in the "seduction community", David DeAngelo's stuff for example.)
Testosterone: It is known that some "Badness" is correlated with testosterone levels. Young men have a lot of it floating around, which makes them attractive to women. Later in life they mellow out or even get "wussified", i.e. have reduced testosterone levels typically from being in a LTR. Nothing wrong with that, it's obviously beneficial. Now too low testosterone levels are a disadvantage, that's why women seek out men with high testosterone levels, and the "Badness" may be a major indicator for that.
The "sexy sons" theory and runaway evolution: This kind of behavior might be yet another peacock tail. Females like it, and one of the reasons they like it that it would give sons an evolutionary advantage. Circular "reasoning" but positive feedback ensues until it runs up against a limit. Geoffrey Miller would probably say that these complex behaviors are the main reason we evolved a big brain in the first place.
Last not least, direct evolutionary benefit: Females of many species, including humans, are known to increase the genetic diversity of their offspring by cheating on a long term mate. Their long term mate is probably more of a "nice guy", so it would be advantageous, if they cheat, to cheat with somebody with a very different personality, i.e. genetic makeup. And of course you need somebody who's quick off the bat and not clingy for an affair.
Amen. I've spent too much time looking for the warm exhaust of a large system like a Symmetrix in those frigid data centers. Even bringing a coat often isn't enough.
Your room can't be too hot (you can send all the heat to the swimming pool in the fitness centre...). I've been wondering about heat storage when we had the article about the new data center in the desert near Las Vegas. If you have a large enough mass (e.g. a couple 100 tons of water) you could store some amount of heat during the day until you can vent it during the night. That would require water cooled heat exchangers everywhere but you would need less power for active cooling.
Wait. You shared your/customer list/ with a competitor as part of due diligence? Exactly my thought. Weird. Whenever we are in merger/acquisition proceedings, we're told again and again that it's against the law to share any real business data like customers, costs and pricing, until the deal is officially done. Maybe it's different for us as a publicly traded company.

Paragraph 1 of German traffic code.

5. Oh shit!
Ok, you showed temporal correlation.
Now show he causation please.
Not only that, but leaving the question of climate change aside, doesn't "green" make sense?
No. Conspicuous consumption gives me bragging rights. Who cares about the climate, I want my monster truck/SUV/car.
I always thought greed was malicious.
Yes it *was*. Get with the times. Greed is good. At least since the 80s.

Heavy at times, but the best physics book I've read in a long time.
I was tempted to buy it once, but then refrained out of disgust for using "God" in a science title.
I thought their governor is their biggest problem.
And notice that the vast majority of pages is semi-static and served from squid caches. Ideally, they only have to go back to PHP when a page changes.

Terminal velocity is probably about 200 mph, like for most heavy objects (like cars) - so you can just barely follow it in head down.
Let's just kick one out of the back of a plane and test it.
What "class" would that be?
Why, the set of Windows clusters of course.I've had two older laptops do that after a routine Windows XP update.
They're running Ubuntu nicely now.
I had to think of Steve Ballmer immediately.
Oh yes, yet another "duh!".

I have a gut feeling quantum mechanics will have to say something about that. Is somebody back to 'God doesn't play dice'? Orbitals, anybody?
When you put it behind the building, make sure it is secured and monitored.
I know of one case where the whole trailer disappeared overnight.
Amen. I've spent too much time looking for the warm exhaust of a large system like a Symmetrix in those frigid data centers. Even bringing a coat often isn't enough.

I jump on them with 190-200 lbs and have yet to see one fail, and I've seen huge people use them at the gym. I guess they have a relief valve.
I think you're being sarcastic, but I'll bite:
That implies that improving the environment kills the economy.
Which is provably false.
