Fiberglass isn't plastic. It's glass fibers.

Nedd Ludd, is that you?

No way, chief. Datacenters are designed to be cost efficient, too. That automatic card pulling robot is likely to cost more than an entire row of server racks, and the servers themselves will be ridiculously expensive from custom hardware design and unorthodox cooling systems. What you'll really see is a traditional datacenter running on commodity hardware with humans doing all the manual maintenance. If there's a glut of money for crazy stuff, they'll invest it in either more servers, bigger networking equipment, or additional NOC staff.

Kickstarter is merely one form of grant application. If you and others from your organisation go through the proper research, you can find grant money in all sorts of corners.

The fun thing about video games is that almost all of them come with a reset button of some sort.

I worked at Papa John's in the late 90s myself, and that wasn't linux. It was a SCO UnixWare variant driving a bank of dumb serial terminals. Not sure what they're using now, but that was almost 15-20 years ago.

Bazinga!

Melanoma, or are you talking about those crazy schmucks with solar grills initiated some DIY spontaneous-human-combustion?

88 mph is illegal? GREAT SCOTT!

See, you get it. That's like the sound that the bits make when they're flying through the intertubes.

They actually do or the energy is converted to another form, but not at planetary scale. It's like internet scale, but bigger.

Exactly this. The mobile version is a one off version of the primary development effort. Mobile browsers are supposed to be modern and fully supporting web standards, but it's not enough if the site designers make you jump through too many hoops (if you're allowed at all) just to get to the regular version again.

Very nice! Yeah, I didn't mean to come off as one of those folks because I'm not. I just didn't want people thinking that having the equipment was all you needed because the training and exams and licensing are pretty important. Either way, have a good one and 73, sir.
