@amcooper This thought intrigues me. What kind of queries were you thinking? (Seems like it'd be easy enough to write a utility to snarf up all the relevant info and stuff it into a RDBMS which could then, in fact, be queried...)
PawScript (or in Microsoft world, PS Script++[1]) is the PDL[2] for firmly defining where a kitty's every pawprint belongs on a digital document.

Ahh yes, the famous Loch Ness Rodent!
(Better image description: photo of the middle of a lake in which is swimming a capybara, its head fully above the water, followed by a series of four smaller capybara, their heads partly submerged.)
(Image description in Tamari: the capybara, on the lake, its head raised; four smaller capybara, also in the lake, totally not drowning, everything is fine. Location relative to Tenagra unknown.)
@Researchbuzz Also, now that I think of it: ownership of the new solar/wind/battery farms should be structured in such a way that if the datacenter ceases operations, ownership of the power-generation reverts to the municipality.
[added] ...in the unlikely, far-fetched, extremely hypothetical event that all this massive server-farm invetment somehow turns out to be just another tech bubble. But, I ask you, how likely this that really? [/s] :blobcathalo:
@thatKomputerKat @JeremyMallin @thomasfuchs
It worked but the quality was terrible.
...or am I confusing it with RealAudio's stereo codec, which was also pretty terrible...
@Researchbuzz This would be so easy to fix with regulation: any new power-hungry establishment has to either provide its own power and stay off the grid (and not use more local water than an establishment with a comparable number of on-site employee-hours) OR must (a) use entirely sustainable power-generation methods (i.e. wind or solar) and must provide at least 50% of their generated capacity to the grid.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm about halfway through migrating the #TootCat wiki from an old congested server to a new/better one, but I'm running into DB issues doing the MediaWiki upgrade and I'm pretty much out of time for tonight.
...not that anyone is likely to be missing it as a result, since it had been all-but-unusable for awhile now (sorry about that).
Hopefully tomorrow I can get this figured out. :tootcat:
@rnd I don't think he does. He's very "I only help you if you help me more" about pretty much everything.
@JoBlakely We have basically no character limit here on toot.cat (I think technically it's 999,999 characters?), for whatever that's worth.

@todayilearned This is why phone batteries should be removable, so users can replace their standard batteries with less-flammable chemistries like LiFePo or sodium.
Obviously (?) I didn't mean "with 100% accuracy", just "with accuracy comparable to that of a human but taking a lot less time".
