Had you read the story I linked you would have found this little nugget: "312 Ephesus stadium fixtures were installed in the University of Phoenix Stadium. They will replace more than 780 metal halide fixtures..." and then this: "the new lights will use just 310,000 watts of energy. The system it replaces needs 1.24 million watts, which translates to a 75% reduction in overall energy consumption."
Aldus Huxley Brave New World ought to be required reading. Of course, leaving genetics to the chance of birth seems so bourgeoisie and no where near the egalitarian needs of the populace of the twenty-first century.
Hell I'd be happy if they just verified that people raising children have the basic skills and mental stability to do so... You want to drive a car, we need to know you are capable and will test you. But feel free to raise Jeffrey Dahmer in your living room with no questions asked.
Which is so much more fun than computer geek. On the down side, upgrading your equipment is way more complicated... (apologies to Mr. Universe for how the thread twisted)
If the US and China go to war, instead of dividing up the spoils as the Russians self-destruct, I will run barefoot down a street paved with broken glass to pop a pimple on a bobcat's balls with a hand full of barbed wire.
I would tend to agree with you, but I'll start looking for a venue just in case things go the other way... Shaving bobcat balls to find a pimply set is going to be the hard part. As for the rest, Vegas Baby!
To be fair, one link cited this:
String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
if (os.startsWith("Windows 9") || os.equals("Windows Me")) {
throw new RuntimeException(
For my money, anytime Windows Me is detected you should throw an exception, a flag, and maybe a fit...
This could also be a major step towards quantum computing.
Why is that just thrown in there? It seems kind of random.
"Pizza Hut has created a bacon, cheese, AND sausage stuffed crust pizza! This amazing pizza is very delicious. This could also be a major step towards quantum computing."
The only thing that would improve that comment would be to have it read by Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper... Well Done!
Rest assured, the NSA will be getting the unobfuscated stuff and sending the obfuscated data back to MS.
No, this is much worse than that. The collection of data will lead to Microsoft "helping" you use the system... and that will be a justification for their ultimate goal...
I wasn't saying that this particular person (a lawyer, go figure) did not deserve to be jailed for contempt. I said there is no sentence, and no trial. It's a case of comply or rot. If you forgot how to decrypt a file that the judge ordered decrypted, or you claimed the file was corrupted and therefor lost forever, you could well be in the same boat as that guy... 14 years without a trial or (allegedly) a way to remedy the situation...

No no no, it's a new processor running at PI GHz. It's the autocorrect software that messed up the punctuation.
And it takes forever for the system to figure out the correct clock speed...

Linus uses death threats?
Oh, you should hear the way he talks to a slow compiler...
That's not really how a constitutional republic works. A simple majority doesn't EVER get to make the rules.
FTFY

Freeze! Is that a crew membership badge of pirate Tor's ship in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Aye, 'tis hard to arrrgue...

That's nothing, the pills taste like crap...
The 63,400-seat stadium opened on August 1, 2006 after three years of construction, so very, very, very, very old anything is unlikely.

Several, if they are the old style little vibrating football games.
Seriously, LEDs already light an NFL venue in Arizona:

Well, I found the summary completely incomprehensible, so DARPA is apparently well on their way with this new technology to befuddle and obfuscate...
I thought that was the purview of the legislature...

rofl'd hard at this. You fucking geek.

It's a perfectly cromulentificated word.
Right! Embiggen your vocabulary already...
My ass could lead in power production by 2050 also.

I feel like I died and woke up on a movie set.
No, I'm sure that didn't happen. Here there a low ratio of women and not a lot of good looking people period.
Congress maybe...
It's all a smoke screen. Some guy was caught screwing pigeons and had to come up with a story...

Well that depends on what you mean by "local". Here's a break down a couple different ways, starting with millions of people affected: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_major_power_outages
