SAN FRANCISCO--Given the cult-film status of 1971's THX 1138 in the George Lucas universe, it should come as little surprise that the total capacity of Lucasfilm's giant data center is 11.38 petabits per second.
Granted, that number--which represents the value one would get by adding up the bandwidth capacity of all the company's 1 gigabit per second desktop machines and its 10-gbps backbone--is purely theoretical. But in an environment like Lucasfilm, which is celebrating four Oscar nominations this week, and where self-referential history is a big parlor game, numbers like that are nothing to be messed with.
The 10-gbps backbone is the core of the data center's network. That rate is faster than the prevailing industry standard of around 1 gbps for most servers.
It’s awesome and completely automatic Lego Mindstorms creation. The user selects the colors for the cabin and the machine selects the material, assembles and then attaches a chasis with the wheels. Impressive.
Actually, I would add aliases to the simple dialog simply because they are a commonly used feature and quite easy to figure out.

I am a moderate procrastinator. Even when I believe that I would be best served by finishing a task (say, filing this story), I will occasionally put it off in favor of some short-term reward (like a much needed caffeine fix). This tendency on my part to delay what is in my long-term interest can now be explained by a simple mathematical equation, according to industrial psychologist Piers Steel of the University of Calgary.
