Comment Hobbiton won't be ready (Score 1) 298

I just got back from a trip to New Zealand where we visited Hobbiton (Matamata) and the "greens people" had just been there, adding hedges and such. But it was still very early going, and it looked to me like it would take another year of growing before it had the lived-in look of LOTR. The tour guide on site suggested something similar, so the stated July start seems odd to me...

I have killed more people than Hitler. It's true. I have murdered millions of Nazis and slaughtered as many dragons. I have raped Native Americans and killed hundreds of thousands of cops. I have killed aliens that looked like pigs dressed as cops. I have destroyed feminism by flashing cash at strippers. I have committed genocide. I have wiped the earth clean of barbarians, Romans, Egyptians, Germans, and the Mongols. I have brought sword to creatures great and small because they may be carrying gold. I have killed creatures and then thrown away anything they were carrying because I did not deem it worthy. I have lied, cheated and double crossed denizens of the wasteland, a fairy kingdom, an ancient alien race and time travelers. I have shot mutants and bounty hunters in the groin and face. After killing someone else who I have never met and who had done me no wrong I crouched over his dead body and tea bagged him. I have enslaved a star faring race and then traded those slaves for military secrets. I have spied on other countries, planets and star systems and sabotaged numerous public works to cause strife and disorder. I have starved cities and brought whips down on my workers so that they may finish great works in my name before someone else did the same. I have stabbed kings and rezoned miles of pristine wilderness into ash spewing city hell holes. I have built nuclear reactors and then let them go critical so that I may laugh at the death toll and then, while the people were still putting out the atomic fires, I have unleashed Godzilla and a hurricane onto them. I have built swimming pools and then removed the exit ladders to watch people drown. I have smashed buildings to grab people inside and then eat them.

...but you still haven't gone to college.

But I don't expect it will reappear on desktops any time soon. Apparently they have managed to control the alpha radiation to a great extent, and so the actual radiation-caused errors are now occurring at a much lower rate, significantly lower than software-induced BSODs.

Actually, Mac Pros use ECC, and have for awhile now: http://www.apple.com/ca/macpro/design.html
