... or to spend less by investing in a few additional systems to be used as dedicated render nodes.
Especially if you buy used systems. Computer hardware depreciates fast.
Wouldn't it be possible to use Amazon EC2 to set up a scalable render farm?
severely diminish the quality of all radios out there.
Have you actually listened to the radio? How can it get any worse? Oh no, I won't be able to hear the same eleven songs played over and over and over again with random call-ins by idiots asking for the same crappy song that got played 30 minutes ago. I don't know if this legislation will help make radio better, but I can't imagine it getting much worse than it already is.
Sure it does. You've just got to somehow manage to fit the entire Internet in the bag with the cat.
Perhaps some sort of Visual Basic GUI?
With only wind and solar power they will be nothing more than helpless little hippies, ripe for a good hosing! Right? Please tell me that is true. I certainly don't want some granola-munching nanobots telling me what to do!
I imagine they'll eventually learn to feed on human flesh.
You can design them to be wiped with an EMP, or to stop working when they're out of a specific magnetic field (and have such a magnetic field when you want them to work), a bit like some laboratory bacteria are made unable to synthesize proteins that they need so they can't survive in the wild. You could also make them solar powered and use a solar shade when you're done.
Well, then they'll just build/generate their own magnetic field, or dismantle your solar shade machine...
Going the speed of light is bad for your age.
