I noticed the same problem. I went back to the page an hour or two later to try it again, and when I clicked "generate", the list of genres dropped down and a 3-line text box appeared with a url in it. I don't think I changed any settings between the 2 attempts. But it seems to work for me now. Good luck.
The right place for lightning to strike is anywhere it pleases.:) Seriously, our design criteria include lightning strike - there are some places (I think at the end of the wing, but don't hold me to that) where the loads are so small that the lightning strike criteria determines the thickness of the skin. Yes, I am a Boeing structural engineer. No, I can't get you a discount on airplanes.;)
I have no personal knowledge of drogue tethered generators, but we (I work at Boeing) do have at least 2 backup power systems, after the engines die.
Auxilary Power Unit (APU), often in the tail. It's basically a big engine which powers the plane's systems if the engines aren't on (like when sitting on a tarmac, not connected to the terminal). On twin engine planes (777, 767, etc), if both engines fail, the APU starts, and then turns over one of the engines, to get it started.
The Ram Air Inlet - this is what I thought of when you described the wind powered generator. There's one in the wing-body fairing of the 767 - the door pops open and that rush of air makes the thing go. I'm not very familiar with this system, I don't deal with it much.
When I first read that title, I thought that the CLI was a "Command Line Interface", not a "Common Language Infrastructure". Darn, I was hoping that MS was putting effort into a CLI/shell. Sigh.
Yes, but has Richard Dean Anderson used "Phoenix Foundation" in Stargate SG-1? If he has & you can tell me all about it, you're Slashdot's "Geek of the Week".

I like that. "Geek of the Week" It rolls off of the tongue.
BTW, I notice I'm on your friend list. Do I know you from somewhere?
I don't think so. I use my friend list as a way to keep track of people who make intelligent comments. I must have read something you wrote, and hit the grey pill.:)
HVAC is about economics, estimates, & a wee bit o' engineering.
The economics include the initial cost of the system, the
continuing cost of energy & maintenance, and the cost of
failure - all of the servers overheating and the network
going down.
The estimates include the heat load (heat energy output of the equipment),
the system effieciency over time, system neglect, & management cheapness.
The engineering includes doing all the math to determine many of the
previous factors, & compensating for all of those unknowns with a factor of safety.:)
Is there a definitive answer to this?
The answer to your question(s): Get an HVAC engineer to look the system over, and tell
you if the existing AC is overkill. (You might want to be sure that she doesn't
think that she'll get the contract for any additional work needed.:)
'Course, this might all be quite accademic. The reason for the chill might be that
your boss's brother has the contract, or that your boss had a bad experience with
a server catching on fire. Then it's not engineering, it's psychology.:)
BTW, I just had my first personal encounter with the lameness filter. What's a "junk character"? My first post (Ooooh, a pun.:) ended at the smiley after 'thanks', what kind of junk characters were in that? Or was it the 8 extra spaces I had in the subject line? . .. Yup, removing the spaces did the job.
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Please use fewer 'junk' characters.
I wish that we (OK, I'll settle for just me:) could moderate stories. I'd mod this as +1, Funny, and +1E6, Scary. I laughed out loud (at work) when I read this, but if this idiot actually has some success suing companies, we're in a deeper world of hurt than that we currently are in. . .. [incoherant rage] . ..
Yeah, I know that they're not all bad; they can't all be bad, even if I wanted them to be. But BOY is it frustrating sometimes. BTW, I was offered a job as a patent examiner my senior year (about 2 years ago), and I almost took it as a missionary position: "I'll show the rest of the examiners that you can't patent something just because you append "with a computer" to a description". I don't consider myself an idiot, but my sister sometimes does.:)
I think that the USPTO patent examiners are only let out of their caves to stamp the patents which come before them, that might explain why they seem so #$%#@!$^%#% clueless so often. Or maybe the USPTO is a giant government agency which doesn't have to answer to the public, so they can do whatever they want.
Maybe he's concerned that his "fellow programmers" don't know programming which doesn't involve MS IDEs. Maybe he thinks that a professional should at least be familiar with more than one toolset to do the same job, and as such, his "fellow programmers" might not be professionals.
Or maybe he's concerned that they won't be able to work in an all-Mac shop.:)
Wouldn't it be the difference between SMP and raw processor speed? If I have 4 processors at 1GHz each, that isn't the same as 1 processor at 4 GHz. But if I took them apart and soldered them together, that would be one processor. Hey, I've got a new chip development model, I should patent it.
But copyright IS good. Copyright is the foundation upon which free software rests.
Strange, the parent of this post is moderated as Informative. Given the patterns of moderation I've seen, I would have expected the moderation to be Funny or Troll. I think it's funny, and I can see how the humor-impaired would find it Troll-ish.
Who needs mysteries on TV? I've got Slashdot moderation.
Because Michael laughed so hard at the second "locking the barn door after the horse..." example that he modded the story (+1, Funny), and the only way to do that with a story is to post it.:)
Good point about informing the user of the address change. I was assuming that the original target page would be replaced by some dummy page which said "Sorry, we've moved." and had a redirect happen after five seconds.

HTML Tidy has a 'clean up Word HTML' mode which works wonders. Dave Raggett developed it for W3C.

So what does a hill covered in herring look like?
It's the legal department of a "tech" company. I'd guess that they're 'bout as 'tech savvy' as a PHB.
Check out CmdrTaco's Journal for the answer. OSDN is consolidating servers.
Seriously, at my university, thermocouples are covered in a sophomore year mechanical engineering class and lab.
I don't think so. I use my friend list as a way to keep track of people who make intelligent comments. I must have read something you wrote, and hit the grey pill. :)

Pretty much my point. But I made a pathetic attempt at humor. :)

No, it's just a coincidence.

Why should I change my name, he's the no-talent ass-clown?
