The guy who produced the video admitted to faking it. AND, any commercial pilot who whips out his cell phone under 10,000 feet will be in trouble for violating the sterile cockpit rule.

The Linux Desktop..

Commerical Fusion reactors..

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Of which there are many "standards" out there for Linux.

The point here is that there is no unifying standard for Linux desktops. You are free to roll your own any way you like. THIS is why Linux desktops won't ever be the norm. It's not a failure of Linux, it's just that you cannot herd cats.

Is that still a thing anybody uses? I'm actually a certified VAX administrator, worked as one for about 5 years and I have all the certifications to prove it. VAX was dead almost two decades ago, at least the writing was on the wall when I left that job.

Fitting that a defunct country would stockpile defunct clone hardware.

I guess they figured out what I figured out. VAX was a dead end.

yea? I knew that. Seriously.. Nobody was suggesting it was good idea to mine with these new cards.

My point was that for the short time miners used GPU's to mine with, they put money in Nvida's pockets by buying up every card in sight. This cash bolstered the company's R&D budget and we are now seeing the fruit of that investment.

Oh wait.. Didn't Bitcoin hit an all-time high the other day? How long would it take on average to mine $399 worth of coin with one of these?

You all understand that the previous rush to buy Nvidia hardware for crypto mining is responsible for this right? All those R&D dollars that got spent are bearing fruit. Yea, I know the industry has moved on, but at least something good came from all this hoopla.

It likely will in the Porto Rico scrap metal yards. I give it a week before parts start showing up.

No money. They didn't have the cash to maintain the thing, they certainly didn't have the money to decommission it in a controlled way.

I don't know how long those cables had been in place, but it doesn't take very long for unprotected/unmaintained steel cables to rapidly decay to a fraction of their original strength. Given that this stuff had been seriously damaged by a hurricane over a year ago and that another cable had already succumb, its a wonder that it lasted this long. (despite what the engineers may have thought)

Start singing the 12 days of Christmas.. "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me; One Arecibo Collapse."

The house and Democrats have been playing almost the exact same game with Trump for 4 years, except they didn't have the Senate's "advise and consent" role to mess with him with. They impeached him for Pete's sake, over the interpretation of a phone call which pretty much requires that Joe Biden is guilty of corruption if you really think it's a problem, and even with the Mueller investigation didn't find anything they went looking for...

Also, I don't think the Georgia run offs are a shoe in for Republicans, not even close. Of course they only have to win only ONE of the two contests to keep their majority in the Senate, but if you thought a lot of money got spent for the last election, you ain't seen nothing. The dollars per vote is going to be HUGE for this one. Sadly, Dollars can buy votes, well up to a point anyway. This isn't a done deal either way.

Sure, if you got time to "fuel up" that battery on that long road trip, no trouble at all. IF you are driving long distances or carrying freight, fossil fuels got EV's beat for time efficiency.

You are totally correct, the "Hydrogen Economy" is pretty much a myth. I consider it the same thing as "Linux for the Desktop" which is a nice sounding idea that will NEVER happen because it is totally impractical.

BTW.. "W" contribution to this myth was a blatant attempt to pander to the environmental wacko lobby and an attempt to cozy up to the EU where such nonsense tends to find more traction. I don't think he was serious. $750 Million is but a drop in the alternate fuel bucket.

This stealing of scrap metal needs to stop... Check the local scrap yards, I'll bet you find it.
