100 to 1000 times below NOEL is the goal -- the standard that few come close to.

The maximum daily dose of Paracetamol (aka Acetaminophen) is 66% of the FATAL dose.

I bought a Yeti some months back for the $100 you mention. I like it a lot. Running on a powered USB hub.

Now if I can just stop whistling letters, especially "s"...

The Shanghai Tower has them beat in terms of being the first.

How about "miniature hula hoops"?

0-day? How about a 900-day? Jan, 2012 was about 900 days ago.

Have a request sheet for those who want copies of each document. Catch is that you get "charged" for the paper you consume, with the charges coming out of a special "Think of the Children" end-of-the-year bonus.

Paper consumption would drop to almost zero.

The biggest problem is not that the Higgs field/boson/theory is wrong. Nor that BICEP2 is wrong.

The biggest problem is that physicists do not want a new theory. Everyone gets paid and paid well to keep doing the usual stuff -- CMB, inflation, Big Bang, String Theory, smashing particles together and looking for the oldest star.

Physicists prefer stuff known to be wrong over stuff that might be right.

Your's is the worst kind of anecdote -- non-typical usage.

You rented a car for a week so:
(1) you wanted to have fun driving around...in a battery-weighted car
(2) you were not going to be spending one to two hours a day in rush hour traffic...that a Prius was designed for
(3) because you were going to be doing more than typical amounts of highway driving...that a Prius is neutered by

Three strikes, your anecdote is out.

And it would get better gas mileage than a hybrid Prius for those driving mostly highway (or non stop-and-go) miles.

When I first started putting games into arcades, players would play for an hour on a single quarter. My Double Dragon machine was a complete waste of money.
Then I got smart and bought some of those arcade-killer games...

I propose an experiment. Run one article per day that allows no moderations. I'd suggest it be a political subject, as moderations are useless in those anyway.

8B T/yr, times $2.22/T.

I think a problem with a potential downside of $17,760,000,000 is, well, a problem.

"for the masses"?

Ah, no. Unless there is a plan to divy up $2B that I don't know about.

So the new cycles are: Tick/Tock/Wow, new capacitors.

The article, amazingly poorly written by the way, mentions exactly zero changes to the chip itself.

We are given "new caps, new glue, and you can overclock it for more performance".

I'm off to ask my doctor to start me on Prozac...

I'm curious if data centers are moving to SSDs.
Also, what about hosting companies, for high traffic web sites they host. I could see this as a premium service.
