Clearly your estimates are way overblown.

This datacenter is a research facility for the upcoming next-generation iTunes platform, called iTunes Advantage. It combines the intuitive user interface of iTunes with a background streaming protocol that renders the song list in 100% Asynchronous Quicktime, so at most we're talking about half a dozen clients...

You're forgetting the response time it takes for the first driver in line to realize the light has turned green, finish up their text message, and then start driving again.

Considering what happens to people who question this administration...

That might be an attractive solution on paper, but doing so might create a highly-localized distortion in the space-time continuum. Even if one were to create a unilateral phase detractor with enough force to avoid the sinusoidal deplanaration that results from the superposition of two incongruent magnetic fields, there would be sufficient side-fumbling in the sperving bearings to cause a breakdown in the magneto-reluctance in the up-end of the artificial magnet's cardinal gram-meters.

That's entirely possible, but one must consider that they may run into stability issues in unlocking the masked processors. They don't create a cheaper card because they want to. They create it because it allows them to make money selling "defective" product as a simply lesser-capable product.

Use hard math? Have you looked at the oxidation equations for gasoline and ethanol and compared the CO2 output for the same energy released? If you did, you'd see that it's not that different, and that ethanol doesn't significantly reduce CO2 output for a given energy release.

Butanol is hygroscopic, by the way. It does absorb water and can cause the same contamination effects as ethanol-mixed fuel. It's just a little less prone to separation.

Your post is full of politics and emotion, too...

Corn doesn't give ANY return on investment. Neither does sugar cane. Were it not for gigantic government subsidies, neither fuel would exist.

In Brasil, food has to be subsidized not because it is used to make biofuel, but because land that would normally be used to grow food is used to grow cane. Then again, almost everything is subsidized in Brasil because of the poverty rampant there.

Don't forget that Ethanol cannot be piped, because it absorbs too much water along the way. So, it has to be trucked by diesel-powered tractor trailers.

Ethanol also destroys boat fuel tanks and aircraft engines.

So if I am a graphics chip manufacturer, I know that the fewer unique designs I have, the cheaper it will be to manufacture my product line. If I make both chips and boards, the same economy of scale applies to both the chips themselves and the assembled boards.

If I can determine both my chip and board yield at in-circuit test, and configure each manufactured device to its maximum possible stable capability, then my manufacturing product yield is maximized.

This type of yield binning is nothing new.

The production of ethanol requires more energy than is provided by the fuel itself, creates more pollution, the combustion of ethanol in vehicles causes more smog.

Vehicles also consume more fuel because Ethanol has a lower energy content per mass and volume than gasoline.

My car gets 3MPG better on non-Ethanol fuel - so thank god there's a gas station near me that sells UL87 mogas that does not have ethanol in it.

Hopefully the Obama administration will deliver some of that "hope and change" and ban ethanol as a motor fuel..

What are we going to do, make fun of the Taliban until they all go emo and commit suicide?

Am I the only one who is really bothered by the scope of information requested on the "Common Application?"

Much more than half of the information requested is either woefully subjective, completely irrelevant, or none of the school's damn business.

The Law doesn't apply to cops, remember?

In any case, nobody in a public place has an expectation of privacy. I don't see how it could be illegal to record someone in a public place.

The TSA only applies to Part 121 scheduled commercial service. There are no requirements to have TSA at small, general aviation airports handling Part 91 private operations or Part 135 on-demand operations.

Ever try to buy an iPhone or Android phone off-contract?
