Ironic because it was probably did in by a BSOD

no, he probably stole the coordinates from Apple
That's not what the article claims. If you have different evidence, please present it.
Palpatine? Hmm. Well, this one is spot-on:

Now that they pointed out the fun prank to all, I want to Spockify some also.
And, I just found some cool Dr-Who-ifications on Google.
Let the nerdification begin...
I wanted to do some john belushi'ing of my money, but I wasn't sure if I should use pollen or dark sunglasses.
(yeah, right; 'why not both?')
interesting. I have not seen this but I heard about it.
a few years ago, I had an onsite interview (full day, quite exhausting) at nvidia and it was for a group that was doing the networking stuff for this whole architecture. they pitched the idea of network streaming from their own hosted supercomputer mainframes to users 'thin consoles'. lots of questions were asked of me about networking and optimization and even more about c++ corner cases (stuff that I rarely run into, but I guess they love 'gotcha!' programming questions, sigh).
I never got the job. it did look interesting, but they went with someone else.
maybe I don't feel so bad, if they really did botch the thing up. maybe they needed networking people more than they realized. of course, it was all young kids at the interview table and, of course, they 'know everything' (nvidia people do have a problem with ego; that came across pretty loud and clear during the interview).
perhaps they'll get it right in some followon product. its not a simple problem to solve, to be honest, but they sure do have enough money and manpower to throw at almost any problem.
You are wrong about offshore wind. It does not fluctuate in the same way as wind over land. Also the term 'unreliable' is completely wrong. Wind is reliable. For that you have a weather/windforecast, that is updated every 15 mins and is used to adapt the plant and the grid for the next few hours.
I'm afraid you're missing the elephant in the room here, or more likely painting over it. No matter how you rebalance the grid you still have a bunch of exceptionally expensive-to-maintain wind turbines out of service for a period of time. When anything is out of action it is expensive and no amount of grid rebalancing paints over that. It is simply inefficient.
snowden has a lot of options, he could wipe his mind clean and then be completely a vegitable. for one. i'm sure there are bugs that would love to infest his brain too... or he could just learn how to spontaneously combust. he could try to grow plants inside his body that use fusion to power their growth and petrify his heart while he still lives. he could use an array of abacus to start number crunching the full length string of pi. he could lock his brain in a infinite loop of forkbombs... even if they dd his brain the password file is probably eroded from the acid rain. so only guest accounts with no passwords can log in...
they are using an hp calculator which is based off an array of abacus, so it only has -200 beads to +200 beads.
i would use Moble payments but i live too far from alabama.
because when she said 'zfs has DEduplication' she though that meant sending the whole ball of wax to be duplicated in DE(germany)
"One set of algorithms, good for the lifetime of the device..."
well the easy way to do that is set the device lifetime to 5 seconds. it takes 6 seconds to look up a rainbow table.
