Fifty Megawatt sounds like about 50 Intel X86 servers...
Well, OK, 50MW/500W = 100,000 servers
Being as unreliable as MS schtuff is, how does MS manage to keep that many servers running all at the same time? Resetting machines must be a full-time job.
I've heard of code monkeys and tape trolls, but a 'reset robot' would be a uniquely Microsoft job description.
This happens frequently in bays, since waves diffract around the capes and then you get constructive interference between the normal waves and the two diffractions, causing occasional waves 3 times taller than normal.
It doesn't matter whether it is a XO or a Classmate. Those kids will break them all in 5 minutes flat. People living in the stone age can break *anything*. They have no 'feel' for technology.
If at first it doesn't work, force it, if forcing it doesn't work, get a bigger rock...
Archaea are extremophiles that can turn methane into oil to power our SUVs directly. Incorporate archaea into genetically altered cows to increase their body temperature to a balmy 70 degrees Celsius or so, and cows could be made to pee gasoline, instead of farting methane.
Nevermind the tiger, put a genetically enhanced cow in your tank.
How effective would it be to use only magnets for attitude control? A satellite in LEO has to rotate 360 degrees in about 90 minutes, so I'm wondering how that will work without momentum wheels and thrusters.
Nevermind the dialog. Just go ahead and try to install a benevolent Windows rootkit destroying rotorooterkit. If it works, then that is sufficient proof that the machine was p0wn3d and is now repaired thanks to the rotorooter. If it doesn't, then the machine is running some sort of Unix and is OK, so no need for rotorooting.
In my experience, the slightest error will render the whole cypher text unreadable, so it won't take long for people to complain that all HTTPS shopping sites don't work with a specific computer system and then that system will end up in land fills really quickly.
Russia, China, Japan, Germany and Italy are all friendlies today. They are not the 'enemy'. The 'enemy' of today, are a bunch of religious freaks hiding out mostly in the Middle East.
The economic policies of China was communist for a few decades, but presently it is a capitalist/socialist mixture just like any western country, so you can't hold that against them - not our business anyway.
Linux as host with a VM for Win98SE or Win2000 is a great solution. Even XP runs great in a VM, but since in the VM one won't really use any of the XP features, 98SE is better and much faster.
As the Microsoft bloatware continues to sink into a morass of wasted processor cycles, the performance gap with Linux and Macintosh provides a great impetus to the adoption of Unix systems. The funny thing is that it used to be the other way around. Back in the 1980s, MS DOS and Win3.1 was touted as 'more efficient' than Unix systems.
My land line is always on an answering machine. I never pick it up and neither does any of my frriends. Basically the phone service has turned into a voice messaging service decades ago already - no interactive yakking.
I believe that Colossus was largely built from telephone exchange parts. It was probably mostly Plessey exchange registers. On the old exchanges, even with slow rotary dialling, if you dialled a number really fast, then it had to be stored somewhere while the selectors turned. The storage was also required when making long distance calls which could take a while to set up.

I bought an EeePC yesterday - neat little gadget. Finally I have d PDA that I can use for real work.
The night life is great. Once it started, the midnight party carry on for 6 months...

Hmm, does that explain "In God We Trust"?

A previous president apparently set a precedent...
Thank you very much!
It wants its Winter Solstice celebrations back. (For the un-edumecated, that is the year before Constantin unified the Roman religions).
Install a super capacitor in your home and charge your car in seconds - or as fast as the car storage system can handle.

You are giving your age away granpaw... ;)
Hmm, he tries really hard to look like Thomas Huxley http://aleph0.clarku.edu/huxley/ (Darwin's Bulldog).
A balanced diet makes you big, fat and healthy.
An unbalanced diet makes you small, thin and unhealthy.
A lot of exercise combined with a balanced diet makes you big, may make you either thin or fat and healthy.
Your choice.
is not mainstream and not used anymore?

So they can do that if they want to and there is nothing wrong with it either.
Catch 22: They have the right do anything that we are unable to prevent them from doing.
