Should Google Go Nuclear?
I'm sure they invited other guest speakers besides the late Dr. Bussard, but that's the link I have bookmarked from nearly two decades ago. It just shows that the people with the really big data centres have been thinking about building their own nuclear power stations for quite some time.

He was in the Man from UNCLE film, but you can only do so much with a bad script. Guy Ritchie always tries to make things so slick and so often goes too far.

Beef mince in UK supermarkets used to come in a hard plastic container with a soft plastic film cover. The hard plastic can go into the recycling bin but the film needs to be treated like plastic carrier bags, which in theory means taken back to the supermarket (where there is a bin for soft plastics) but in practice ends up in the non-recyclable waste at home.

A few years ago the packaging changed to a soft plastic pouch. âoeSame product now with 30% less plastic!â, said the labelling. Thatâ(TM)s true, but they replaced a slightly larger package that was mostly going to be recycled with one that wonâ(TM)t be recycled at all. The real reason behind the change was that the new packaging is physically smaller so they can fit more on the delivery trucks.

Probably nothing. Are there many consumer level motherboards that can support a U.2 or an E.3 drive?

We'll see how well that works out.

This site will give you those results if you want.

Can you think of a single religion that has a paywall?

"If you smell shit wherever you go, check your own shoes."

No, I drive a ten year old Peugeot hatchback. My headlights barely come up to the level of my knees.

It's just only 50% effective.

So... intentionally take your attention (and one hand) away from the road while you're driving, with the specific intention of dazzling the driver of another vehicle?

What the fuck is wrong with you?
