Comment Impossible (Score 1) 60

"When we started this work, we were told it was impossible," stated Burkart. "Now we see a different reality. There's a lot of work to be done, but we want to give people hope. It is possible."

Yeah, it's usually that last 10% that's the "impossible" part.

Comment How about none? (Score 4, Interesting) 72

I work with a lot of people who use big CNC machines that run Windows.

It's no fun if you set it going on a two day job cutting a $2000 piece of aluminum and the machine decides to reboot at 2am because an unused component of Windows .Net got an update or Microsoft just had to install a new "feature".

nb. This even happens in LTSB versions of Windows that aren't supposed to do that.

(PS: Any adenoidal replies along the lines of "wouldn't happen if they use Linux!" will be mocked - the CNC machine makers make CNC machines with Windows software and the end users don't get much choice)

Comment Re:And storage? (Score 1) 93

452 MW of solar panels. No mention in the article of storage. But surely, they must have also built some storage to go along with that, right?

Of course they have energy storage.

Some form of storage is a given these days. It can double the profit of the farm.

OTOH this is Texas, so... maybe they sell the midday excess to Bitcoin miners instead of doing something useful with it

Yep, the problem is they'll want you to pay before you get to see the content.

And the content will be crap.

All those garbage, link-farmed, SEOed pages that flood google right now? You'll be paying for the privilege of swearing at them.
