We had the same problem but we were not able to change the server config. We found a nice tool ( http://www.wekkars.com )that keep our application alive.

I was looking for that exact comic, but didn’t get around to actually linking to it. Great minds really do think alike!

Whether or not superconductivity is practical, I have to admit that I find it oddly fascinating… I’d have guessed that resistance would be asymptotic, getting closer and closer to zero but never quite reaching it. But instead, with sufficient liquid nitrogen, you can reach truly zero resistance.

With that out of the way, wow. The plasma garbage disposal idea is brilliant.

I doubt superconductivity is the answer unless we have a breakthrough in the acceptable temperatures.

Flywheels on the other hand seem like a reasonably practical solution. Anyway, fascinating food for thought.

No tnkahs, ASP.NET MVC, does everything I need. Going to Rails would be a step-down.
