I ran the numbers once myself. It does not cost a significant amount more to run the CPU at 100 pct versus idling the computer.

after a little autopager work, it looks great to me :)

They did a test and the beam vaporized like a 40 M long copper tube a mm wide or so.
Now they have a large graphite tube encased in like a foot of concrete to stop the beam and they scan the beam across it so it heats up evenly.

that is an awesome deal.
One thing to worry about with old P4 stuff is how much power it will use. Each of those uses probably $15 or more each month in electricity depending on where you live. It probably does not come out of your IT budget, but it still costs the company money.

I doubt with only 150 people they would want to spend the money to have a server at every office in case that offices link went down. I agree wholeheartedly that the level of redundancy talked about is overkill. Also will WWW, mail, DNS, ... even work if the line is cut regardless if the server is in the building?

bit by bit

The OS stores a hash of the password on the hard drive.
When you log, in the OS calculates the hash of the password you typed and compares it to the one saved on the disk.

and UPS pays tax for that anyways.

I wonder if it is, I will have to ask my prof if there were any studies done on that.

I remember from my psychology class that what religion you follow has no heritability, but how religious you are is at least partially heritable.

Also, Intelligence has a negative correlation between children and parents, at least according to Wikipedia.

Well, you may be able to get a message to the other side of the earth, but what about the "and back" part?

I am not an electrician, but what happens when your device that needs 10-15 amps starts drawing 25A and melts its power cord since the breaker doesn't trip?

I make people cables for free and have them return the one they just bought at best buy. It costs me next to nothing, but best buy looses a fortune.
