If you rely on virtualization, then there is virtually (!) No OS that you can't run on a Mac. Butt that's not what the discussion started out as. It was about coding the machine with the 'native' OS, i think, and not about how to shoehorn on another one.
Micro-hydro as in low-head hydro? Same problems, different scale. Siting is everything. I know a bit about hydro power, watching the Bangor Dam on the Penobscot river fade away.
Big Coal is already dead. Natural gas is replacing/hasreplaced it. Fraking may turn out to be a terrible mistake, but for the time being it's powering a massive change.
Of course, trim up your tin hat and indulge in the conspiracy theories that have this as a way to crush the existing coal barons and replace them with a new set. Gasification would be cool if it worked and was cheap enough.
Hydro is not without cost. Impounding rivers behind dams can destroy spawning habitat, destroy existing fish populations, flood wildlife habitat, and diminish water quality for downstream users. Low-head hydro contributed to the decline of Atlantic Salmon populations in North America.
It sounds so good, but it's not nearly that simple.
First, I was referring to the sprint to the car for the neckbeards on Phoenix. Not frozen North types.
Second, I lived my first 51 years on Maine. Please do not try to educate me further on cold weather driving. I did 60,000mi/yr for over 12 winters, on call. In any weather.
You forgot to point out that getting the car running, scraping of the ice, and warming the cabin is merely the beginning.

I woudl love to participate in a huge expanson of the IT market here in Phoenix, but:
- Most of the high-end, lucrative openings are for those with Java/javascript/J2EE, Ruby, CSS, HTML5, iOS, Android,.NET, Oracle, JQuery, and a combination of two CMS frameworks, a Masters in an applicable field, and experience. Oh, and system administration experience as well.
Phoenix is blessed with abundant electrical suppies form several directions. If you want redundant power, it's here.
Residential outages are always weather-related. Wind especially will cause problems. But for a data center, it's very good. and the risk of floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc is low. Building up a few feet removes the risk of even local monsoon flooding.
A much safer environment than even rural Virginia.
A common misrepresentation. Sherrif Joe has his faults, but instructing his officers to stop vehucles on the highway with expired plates, faulty safety equipment, and a dozen people in the back on suspicion that they are possibly transporting illegal aliens is reasonable and prudent. And yes, they are probably dark-skinned.
If they show a drivers license, regtistration, insurance card, and their passengers mostly answer questions and don't try to hide, they usually go on ther way with a warning. Refusing to talk to the officer will get them a quick vacation in Tent City.
I've lived here for 6+ years. Stay away. It's too hot, and too miserable, and the houses are too expensive when people like you come around and start buying them up.

'minute basis' is the wrong metaphor. microseconds are the current unit of measure.
"not where it's stored."
So we should make the Internet into Plan 9?
I won't be elegible for a subsidized upgrade until this time next year.

There, fixed that for ya.
Like you think you can win this.
I'm accustomed to EFI BIOS. even if it is itanium.

And Mac hardware is still pricey.
Some idiot hijacked your Slashdot account...
Stop feeding it. Please.
I'd like to tell you that my IP address has been banned here before, but it's *not* *my* *IP address*. I share it with 6500+ users at any given time.
And some of them are truly morons. Not me of course.
"stuck using a really crappy OS."
Many more options with a PC than an Apple. Try some out, my friend.

I don't mind the heat .
I live oin Gilbert. I do not live in Phoenix.
Sunscreen is hard on the filter. Tempe Marketplace? gimme a Harkins.
Sheriff Joe doesn't send officers to Alabama. Try at least to stay on topic, or at least relevant, despite your nebulous status of anonymity.

In other words, an H1B.
Pus.

If you stay in the machine room, you'll be comfy all year long.
Sprinting to the car might be a problem, though. I get that.

Don't believe all the propoganda.
We don't deal with the heat. We stay inside. Or in the pool.
No, they mostly come from Mesa. I do not consider Mesa to be Phoenix yet.

Try Oregon instead, eh?
Wel, the 'solution' for government is to give up on regulating homemade firearms, and regulate ammo. for instance, powder.
Which will lead 'us' to either find other propellants, or other government.
Or both.
