   With all of this effort put into keeping the data center running, I've been wondering about a few things. Was it actually connected to the outside world throughout the storm? I have a hard time imaging that with the power out in large secti

   Shouldn't it be possible to make the fuel pump and it's power supply a closed, water proof system? Such that the fuel tank could be flooded and the pump would still run?

   I would venture to guess they're built to work both ways. If the computer has sufficient time and information to make the decision it releases the panels. Ex. Engine failed, shut it down, blow panel as precaution to drop pressure in that en

    It's licensing issues, Bukkit is GPL. Mojang doesn't want to have to open up everything. https://github.com/Bukkit/Bukkit/blob/master/LICENCE.txt

    They're using Minecraft Overviewer[1] to generate the maps. Overviewer uses the Google Maps api to serve the map tiles. It translates the minecraft block coordinates into lat/long coords. It's probably this translation that leads you to

    At first I frowned a bit at the no Bukkit support, until I remembered that all of those guys have recently been hired by Mojang :) Eventually the stock server should be just as awesome with super modding support. Until then, I'm way too twe

    Yea, back usually takes me to a cached version of the previous page. Still can't go forward because if that page is refreshed it's also likely expired. Going all the way to the top and clicking through the pages seems to be the only option.

    It would be nice to see more of what they envision the actual speaker case to be. The effect is definitely impressive but seeing the arc, on a stand in a lab isn't as fulfilling as having an idea of the actual product they're going to build
