Why aren't there more datacenters in Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, etc.? Surely the threat from Tornados could be mitigated and the electrical infrastructure built out more cheaply than the losses due to coastal disasters, no?

I'm American, I'm not happy about it either. No one I know thinks that way or wants us to behave that way.

We have two main problems in America: our education system sucks balls but we still let those people vote (way more than enough people to swing elections). And the other problem is that our "elected" representatives are career politicians who have become an uncontrollable Nobility of sorts. You think our government actually listens to us? LOL.

"Committee on Oversight and Government Reform: Effective Committee or Political Theatre?"

FTFY

foxnews.com that is. O_o

So, basically Iran just stumbled upon Wideband Delphi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wideband_Delphi and thought they'd give it a go.

720? What happened to the other 720 between midnight and noon?

You've obviously never been out drinking with *me*.

The most frustrating and depressing part is that we're just now getting started at this Soviet-style communist repression stuff. Judging by the other countries that have endured it, we get to look forward to another 30-50 years of things getting worse until enough people get enough pissed off for the system to get un-fucked. By then "told ya so" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Yeah. That. And "properly sized ceramic bullet...without a scrap of metal in it" What are you replacing the brass case with, again?

Ah, of course. There aren't any Mexicans in the U.S. just like there aren't any Scots in Great Britain. Thanks for clearing that up and missing the joke entirely.

I'll wait for the 2nd or 3rd gen iScan so they can get the bugs worked out before I get one. I can get this from the Genius Bar, right?

This is from Sheffield; the researchers are using Scottish Gaelic - looks like 'linoleum', sounds like 'floor'. In this case it's pronounced 'scatteredelectronwavereconstructor'.
