  • Similar just the impact of dust over a large enough distance.

    Try going up to the top of, say, a 50 storey building in a moderately polluted city during a fairly still, warm, dry spell of weather and look down at the ground.

    It'll likely look a lot more dusty than from street level.

  • I'm sure you're just using "communist" rhetorically there, for various USA history reasons that I don't fully understand.

    But it's important to point out that corruption isn't the same as "communist handout". There was nothing "communal" when the USSR did corruption, and nothing "communal" when the USA does corruption. It's all just concentrating power in a few peoples hands with as few limits as possible.

    Good luck to you though, if your political forces can't stop the concentration of power then conflict and likely bloodshed might be the only option. And there'll be a lot fighting to save the empowered, hoping for some crumbs to trickle down to them. I can't believe that all the pro-gun rhetoric in the USA - that I'd previoulsy though crazy - begins to make some sense.

  • Looks like some elitist crap to me. Who the fuck buys the "best" especially in something like wine thats replete with elitist bullsit and nobbery to exagerate perceptions of scarcity and create an "investment". its a fucking consumable.

    99% of the people in France can get perfectly good French wine for a handful of euros without importing from USA.

    Coudn't give a fuck about the other 1%.

  • Rat pogo stick.

    Unfortunately rat consumers are notoriosly sensitive to the 'not tested on animals' logo, so is not as simple as attaching rat and observe.

    Standard practice is to tape a large potato to the top part and check it bounces properly.

    The datasheet should state the specific bounce characteristics to test against, but normally, it should bounce between 2o% and 40% of it's length, when dropped from 40-50% of it's length. I think the standard weight for the testing potato is 700 +/-20 grams. Again the datasheet might indicate a different range if it is specifically marketed towards a niche market like juveniles or the obese or something.

  • I'd say the operational requirements.

    A home PC mostly has max 1 simultaneous user (i.e. the "person") - out of maybe a small pool of potential users - the availability requirement is ad-hoc. It offers many services, some available immediately on boot, but many are on call.

    A server typically has capacity to provide services to many simutaneous users and probably has a defined availability requirement. Depending on the service, and the number of users and the availability and performance requirements it may need more communication bandwidth , more storage, faster storage, more cores, UPS, live backups and so on. But it doesn't strictly need any of that hardware unless it helps meet the requirements.

    In terms of software any modern PC runs an OS offering a tonne of services straight from boot / login. I don't see any real differences there. Typically a server might have more always on serices and less on-call services, but these days there's VMs and stuff on both servers and on PCs.

    Most PC users would expect to have more rights such as to install and execute what they want. A server will typically have a stronger distinction between user and sys-admin. but again if a server offers a VMs it's not so clear cut. That mostly comes out of the availability requirement - preventing users compromising the service.

  • That's why scientists ( I assume they're supposed to be the right hand side) claiming to measure "intelligence" should pick a more specific term for what they're measuring.

    If they use the word "intelligence" I'd be extremely suspicious about why they've chosen that word. I would assume they have a decent understanding of how the word is likely be interpreted by the other 97.5%, if not they need to get out and do some fieldwork.

  • What about that Plantagenet dude?

    According to Baldrick he lives in Australia and is no less legitimate a claim to be king of england than any of those bastards since Dick III. The fact that he hasn't raised an army and started any wars suggests he might be less of a dick than most of them.

    Oh - looks like he died, but maybe his offsping.
