A single hull design needs quite a bit of ballast - why don't use batteries for that?
However, I think a transatlantic trip is too long for batteries (even when used only for limited amounts of time).
A "clipper" type hull at 3 meters long (4 meters overall) would displace about 0.3 cubic meters. This means the ship would weigh 300kg, and I assume less than 100kg would go on construction (hull, masts, sails, rigging) for something Atlantic worthy. So, you end up with more than 100kg of batteries (the electronics, servos, winches and so on would weigh a few kilograms).
A speed yacht design would drop the displacement at quite a bit less than half - a third, so 100kg of batteries would push it. Anyway, even if using acid-lead batteries, 100kg of them would cost a bit.
Only planing designs (like windsurfs) are not limited to hull speed. Multihull ships have plenty of other advantages, but the hull length-max speed relations are the same as for other boats.
Assuming a 4 meter overall boat, it would be about 3 meters (ten feet) on the water line. Even a skinny competition yacht body would be more than 30cm wide, and more than 20cm deep - so the total mass could be easy in excess of 100kg.
You have space and mass for any kind of computing system you need - but batteries for a long flight would be a problem. Best solution? Build a real ship (wider, deeper) and use plenty of batteries as ballast.
Hmmm, no mentions about a multihull. It might be a good solution - I've sailed a catamaran recently, and it was a beginner's dream - it hardly heeled, and went nose in wind unchecked.
Software? you only need to know if you can point high enough in the wind, and if not, start wearing (tacking was difficult, as the very light boat lost speed incredibly fast when tacking).
So you need compass, wind vane and wind speed indicator. Plus some ways to reef the sail, and adjust how much you can point in the wind by how much sail you carry, and how much sail you carry by the windspeed.
Here (if what I know is true), you can refuse the breathalyzer test and request instead a biological test (blood) for alcohol. But still, refusal of both is enough to make you guilty
This goes all against the need of the accuser to prove you are wrong. Remember "innocent until proven guilty"?
The fact that you refuse to obey to a law is not proof that you are breaking other laws.
Which is a great problem for short runs. Also, that energy must be provided to the train - and overhead wires have difficulties in supplying power to a fast moving train.
On longer runs, the cost of the track would dwarf the cost of the train and the added energy needed for a heavier train would be less important overall
ATI(AMD) and NVidia by themselves are able to create drivers for most of the probable market. However, the community is not totally content with their drivers.
Other companies that produce well used hardware does not have drivers for Linux, and when access to their documentation will be available, the quality of the open source drivers will hopefully improve.

Hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicle is tested by the Army. I don't think it's such a long way until Humvees (or equivalent) will be fitted with fuel cell power - especially when so many good things will eat electricity like popcorns in the future.
AMD started this (somehow) with the Athlon MP processor (counterpart to Athlon XP). The multiprocessor chipset for Athlon MP had a FSB to each of the processors.
To this day, Intel is still sharing a FSB between all the processors in a multiprocessor system (to be fair, it should be noted that the 667MHz FSB was not really crowded by two cores of Pentium4).
What if your Hummer has an diesel-electric power plant? This would be just your main engine running (and this wouldn't be very uncommon). And the US Army is testing fuel cell powered pickups, and the noise from such a fuel cell would be inaudible over the noise of people
We still use some FoxPro, DOS based accounting applications today - and until about four years ago, there were little or no Windows-based accounting applications in Romania.
Having a correctly running DOS component in their operating system might have been quite a big boost to their marketability, at least in some sectors.
The e2 doesn't have Virtualisation Technology (useful for running virtual machines). And have a lower FSB, and lower cache than the E6700.
However, Intel sells them binned at low frequency mainly because there is a need for low cost processors, and they don't want to sell fast processors for cheap (they sell slower processors for cheap).
The PCI slot is just for power, there is no communication over the PCI slot. And the battery backup is good for some hours without power. But overall, neat device.
VAT is a value ADDED tax - it is applied at each step, but only on the Added Value. If I buy hard drives for $100 a piece (including VAT), and sell them for $150 a piece, I pay VAT to the one from where I bought them (assume 19% VAT, I pay about $100 * 0.19/1.19 = $16), and the one who bought them from me pays $150 * 0.19/1.19 as VAT ($24). Now, the VAT I get ($24) is returned to the original seller ($16 of the $24), and the rest ($8) is the Value Added Tax I pay in the end to the state.
Now, some times ago, before the VAT was applied, there was a Tax on Goods Distribution which was applied on every exchange - it was in the 3% range, but it added quickly from original manufacturer to the consumer.
"Route at line speed"? I don't know Mount the board in a regular ATX case? I think it comes with a case. Same with ATX PSU. Power consumption is (I suppose) in the tens of watts maximum, so ATX PSU is overkill.
I know Soekris as they make boxes which can run OpenBSD and their PF firewalling solution.
If it runs OpenBSD, then you can find some Linux for it. Once installed, you can access it by network (it has two or three LAN interfaces).
I suppose you could push the 1W, 500MHz processor to the 1.5GHz of its brethren, assuming you would have the technical possibility to do so (BIOS, increased voltage, chipset support). More than that? Hardly, with a processor built for low power consumption
I'm not sure if using a horde of those new processors would give you better performance for lower power use. Again, these things might be included into a new variant of the 128-processors-supercomputer in an ATX form factor. Power-wise, it should fit the bill, and it might even be more powerful than the 96-processors supercomputer under the desk Orion DS-96 (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID= 231)
By what I remember, yes. And encryption using the included hardware module is faster than most anything else x86 wise (or was when I've seen that benchmark). (But it was slower than mostly anything else in any other non-accelerated encryption tasks).
I think it was tested under OpenBSD.
I have a $200+ Sony audio system, and I use to listen to radio. There are several (10+) commercial sounding radios, which play overly compressed music. Finding the only radio which don't do it, and moving back and forth between them makes the difference in sound easy to spot. I assume that's the compression thingy - everything sounds louder (I have to adjust the volume from 8-9 to 11), music is somehow offensive, and maybe just a little bit painful (when moving from one radio station to the others)

Yes, he can.
If he don't win with a sailboat, maybe he will win with a submarine

Hmmm, I've searched some, and the Prius' generator is probably good for 6kW - a "military grade" 45kW generator would be more than 10 times in volume.

DOSBox is quite a big step forward for older DOS games - you could run even games made for DOS and aware of Windows 95 on it (Death Rally)

#1 crown for a few decades (or more) ?
I assume a decade would be 10 years. A few decades would be 20 or more years.
Well, welcome to the 1997, in the world of:
Intel Pentium Pro 200MHz
IBM's PowerPC EM603e at up to 200MHz
UltraSPARC II at 300MHz
The operating systems used were Windows 95 and NT 4.0, MacOS 8, and Solaris 2.6 (next version is 7) and JavaOS 1.1 from Sun
Two decades?
1987: Windows 2.0, with Intel 386 processors. Typical RAM for 386 systems was in the 4-16 MB.
So, Java is a decade and a bit, not few decades

So many millions years, and only a remote hole in the default install
Gigabyte had them. They had support for 4GB of RAM I think, and were accessible thru a SATA 150 interface
