First, think of power generation as driving a car versus taking public transportation; which one is better? Obviously public transportation, consequently generating power at power stations is better; even with a solar farm. Most houses do not have the required surface area for you to generate profit using solar panels over city power supply in the long run. Second, consider nuclear power. Compare it with other forms of power production and categorize it either as clean energy or non-clean energy production forms. How does it fare? In addition think about how it fares in relation to cost versus risk in terms of other clean and sustainable energy production methods. Now, come up with your net result and post your opinion. Let's see where we get.

There are several instances where some old ideas never saw as much as the light of day; that doesn't however mean that these ideas and projects are bad. Best to learn from the past!!

With all the interest in Kernels these days this comes as a welcome surprise. The fight to make the most stable, toughest and robust OS at least in the free-software world is going on. Further the idea of networking with most peers and running a distributed system such as Hurd might not be far way. Plan 9 looks like the idea of Hurd was actually taken up. In a lighter vein I sometimes wonder how it would be if we end up writing the kernel in say Python!! ;)

Seems like Amazon is clearly saying that they are following the laws that Senators make so if Ms. Warren wants to incriminate them on manipulating laws then it goes to say that proof should be provided that they did so. Sometimes these Twitter rage-wars have no meaning!!

As a rhetorical question, what is so different about Exchange when compared to IMAP? Why not simply use an IMAP server and be done with it?
