It is a newly opened high-security data center run by one of Sweden’s largest ISPs, located in an old nuclear bunker deep below the bedrock of Stockholm city, sealed off from the world by entrance doors 40 cm thick (almost 16 inches).
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

OK, those of you with Roombas...
I have a hardwood floor. I have one 4'X6' rug in the whole apartment. I want something that will eat the dust bunnies and massive amounts of hair I shed (I swear, I'm secretly my own pet). Something that will make my floors less icky.
But it seems if I want the one that mops the floor (the Scooba?) I would first have to have a DIFFERENT one that swept/vacuumed.
So...what is the best Roomba for me? I don't want to spend more than I need to...(and there seem to be about 80billion models on the website, from $129 to $500!)

Me? I'm waiting for a "Flexible Frank" model.

I've decided that app server architectures are something I need to learn as much as possible about. Given that I'm stumped by the Alfresco install, does anyone have any suggestions about a good place to start learning about app servers in general?
I've heard good things about Glassfish for hosting Ruby on Rails applications running under JRuby. Otherwise, I got nothing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can revive NiCad Batteries by Zapping them with an Arc Welder.
Please don't try that with your Li-Ion batteries, though.

Indeed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I don't have a Roomba, meara, but I've researched them, and yeah, you do need separate ones for vacuuming and mopping, if you want both tasks.

DIY Roomba battery replacement: HOW TO - iRobot dead cell battery fix
Obviously, I don't want to pay for anything. This morning I took apart the battery pack in the Dirt Dog vacuum cleaner. After about 30 minutes of cutting, sawing, and taping I had a battery pack that was performing like a new one. Now instead of getting 10 minutes of lousy vacuuming I get over a hour of powerful cleaning. This saved about $60 which is the cost of buying a new replacement pack from iRobot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would probably cost me as much (more if you count ripped out hair) to fix the battery as to replace it.
