It seems to me that 16 MHz is plenty for waypoint following and attitude control but if you really need more processing power you could try http://www.gumstix.com/

A similar experience here. Submitted the ticket and received email notification of a reply 3 minutes later. Migrating 12GB looks like it's going to take about 90 minutes. Can't fault them so far.

On first reading your comment my reaction was, "No way." With a little research though it appears the angle for a 747 is only 5.9 degrees. Thanks for the perspective.

A shower does more than just kill micro-organisms. It might be useful as an extra step after a shower but there is nothing to suggest it would be effective at cleaning off the dirt accumulated during a day.

I appreciate that the effect is medically significant but the intervention was conducted at just one centre. Can it be repeated or is it particular to this centre? There are many, highly statistically significant, results published which

Tilapia may well be fine as they are largely fed a plant based diet. Salmon are fed a fish based diet. The fishmeal is obtained from less desirable fish but they're still taken from the oceans. Their stocks won't be as dangerously low but

Although I think your overall point is valid I wonder whether there is a middle ground on the hardware. For many purposes offering a degraded service would be better than nothing and could perhaps be handled with 1.5x your needed resources

I guess it depends on the friends and family. If they can afford to lose $100k and they understand the risks, which for me would mean they've been there before and not just that they're telling you they understand the risks, then no I woul
