Comment Description has client and server backward (Score 3, Informative) 36

In X terminology, the X server runs on the computer with graphics display, not the (historically anyway) big hardware with lots of CPU, memory, and storage AKA the "server". When you started X on your little endian Windows 3 PC with VGA graphics card and telneted to the big endian Sun/SGI/HP/Digital/IBM AIX server to run X Emacs, X Emacs would be the client to the X server running on the PC.

Comment Re:Before anyone asks "What if there is no wind?" (Score 1) 315

I was on a tour going to Giant's Causeway, and while standing outside (or rather leaning in to the wind) talking with the bus driver/tour guide, I ask him how much of Ireland's electricity was generated by wind. His answer: "not enough" (with a Dublin accent :-)). He the pointed out Ireland was the second windiest major island in Europe, and the political issues around getting more generators in place. Maybe they can manage a 120 or so of these.
