250KW per sq-ft. times a 1000 sq-ft building gives 250 megawatts. That is a NSA size data center.

Buy an inexpensive ARM single board computer, there are some good quad-cores out there. Use an external usb hard drive. Total power consumption will be 10-15 watts. Install it in an old school metal lunch box. Seal the holes for the cables. There will be enough surface area to cool the box by convection without any vent holes.

I have not read the article.
I know that an inverse relationship between brain size and breast size has been postulated for decades.

My mother or my kids Grandma (74) is a retired IBM programmer. She never asks for computer help.

To refute: bricklayers and most construction contracts are lump sum. If it takes the mason 3 days or 5 days to complete the contract amount is the same. In the "contract" the terms were well understood. One wall, this size, etc. there is an implicit warranty as suitable for the intended purpose.

Unless you had a similar "contract" to deliver the software the analogy does not apply.

The bricklayer, unless he owns the company, by law, will get paid for correcting the brick work.

Someone should file a freedom of information act request for the code.
Several years ago when I worked at NASA our branch chief speculated that someone could request, and get, the our in house developed data acquisition system and have potentially sellable product.

If the hole is deep enough it will go all the way to China - Brilliant!!

Five years to build with current technology?
The Empire State Building in New York was built in 14 months.
Maybe they should look at using 1930's technology.

Good Question,
In the US you cannot get a building permit without an engineer/architect signing and sealing the drawings.
So you would need to hire an engineer. The engineer (allowed by the opensource license) could sell you the plans, the plans would be "his work", the engineer of record by state law would be responsible for checking everything and taking full responsibility.

So the answer would be you would sue your engineer that you hired.

I agree, Gaylord Perry got an advantage by making the opponent worry about his "cheating".
It gave him a mental edge.
A baseball coach once said the difference between AAA (minor league) and the majors is between the ears.

Busted,
The fact that you know the OJ trial and the Kardashians are linked mean you follow those stories, therefore you cannot be highly intelligent.
