I've switched from utilizing hard drives to store my data to encoding it into the fundamental laws of the universe. Sure it runs the risk of corrupting some universal constants, but who needs gravity anyways?

You're only having to worry about getting folks off of Windows Server 2003? I'm currently on a consulting gig where they are working to get some of their users off of Windows NT 4.0.... :) Yes, the MS Bashing gets a bit old after a while, but in this case the blatent inaccuracy of the article is grating even before you add the MS Bashing.

Drat! We can't store electricity? My science teachers have been lying to me for decades! I'm moderately sure that we have had mechanisms for storing electricity since around 1800 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Volta ). Recently there have been a number of approaches for large-capacity storage facilities including (but not limited to) molten salt and pumped-storage hydroelectricity. I don't think there is a direct link between trading nuclear for hydro/wind/solar and increasing fossil energy consumption.

Despite what some may maintain based on the general tone of comments on /. not everyone who participates here is a Linux advocate. For my part I'm over in the BSD camp and daily curse the Linux Heretics who are working resolutely to corrupt our great institutions :) Only a fraction of the articles here are so Linux oriented as to not have relevance to the computer and geek communities outside of the Linux realm.
