oh yes, walking around with a tablet with a 3TB raided mybook dangling from it suddenly makes sense, clearly I've been doing things wrongly.

Hydrogen not the issue with the Hindenburg, flammable metallic paint that burned like solid rocket fuel was. Hydrogen is superior lifting gas with twice the lift, should be used instead in a proper compartmentalized balloon system

Go ahead, but you know the Harkonnen's preferences yes?

bluetooth and wifi would cover most people for peripherals

Yeah just like commercial jet pilots

My windows 98 did not crash multiple times every day. Perhaps you were doing it wrongly.

No, mere classic shell change not enough to make windows 8 usable. Windows 8 was a fundamental change to a usable system that most agree is awful.

Windows 2012 often needs to be accessed by UI do to very poor architecture on the part of Microsoft; I'm glad only need to watch and mock our windows certified engineers in their misery.

Of course I am old have have vast experience on operating systems from the 1970s onward: the IBM mainframe OS, CDC Cyber NOS, Vax VMS, OS/2, Novell Netware, Unix(tm) and BSD and Linux.

Yet certain releases of Micrsoft Windows family is the only OS's that I call rubbish. Strange isn't it.

Someone like you only knows Microsoft's wares and so your opinions mean nothing next to someone who has done systems programming, system admin, architecture with everything from embedded to mainframe to supercomputer (both vector and massively clustered) computers

You don't think I am a computer program, do you ? No. You are an erratic biochemical reaction. Any useful action you might perform can be better done and more efficiently done by a machine. You have, therefore, no function. You are OB...SO....LETE

Someone attempting running gate at nuke plant will certainly get much LESS consideration than the perps in this story. *They will kill you.* Even trespasser on foot will get exactly one warning to assume surrender position, then the bullets fly. I know this from former employment at one, security exercises were fun to hear and watch.

no way, if "good" means usable found 98 and XP very useful. I still fire up XP in vm for certain wares requried for job.

win 95 - marginal
win 98 - good
win me - shit
win xp - good
vista - shit
win 7 - good
win 8 - shit and shills with their tongue in Gate's poop chute try to lie that only one config change needed to be like 7, no it's more like two dozen, screw it why bother

win 2012 is shit, has win 8 UI and bad division of management functions

News flash for you, windows 7 phone was a catastrophic flop. People were demanding a good phone. Xbox? seriously, we need to use .NET everywhere because a Microsoft game console needs it? Plenty of cross platform languages and libraries exist, we don't need .NET

Wrong, military facilities have to assume they are under enemy attack when the perps ignore instructions and moveover try to ram. They were thrice stupid and they paid the expected price. Real world is harsher than your silly notions.

hey, you get to vote for the lapdog of the elite of your choice

Compared to sunlight they do better, for frequency of 100GHz only 20% absorbed. Sweeter spot below 50GHz where only 5% absorbed. The real argument is cost, it's just silly to put in space when you can put massive arrays in deserts for less than tenth of cost to get the same energy.

The serious studies by NASA and Japan's JAXA disagree, efficiency not a problem. Just cost compared to building array in desert is the issue.

Makes perfect sense, no nighttime, panels would have sunlight more than 90% of the time. Loss in transmission would be low with microwaves, could be sent to ground based rectanna of tens of square miles with 80% efficiency, and the power density per square unit area kept within safe limits for living things. Look up facts before you spew.
