It's as if our electric grid didn't even have fences around it. This is disgraceful what we do, and what we don't do, to protect the Internet.

I consider myself an inventor first and an entrepreneur second. In real life, my hero is Thomas Edison.

He didn't just develop the light bulb; he invented the entire electric grid and power distribution system.

I grew up off the grid in Vernon, and I saw my parents work hard every day, as teachers but also while farming and building a log home. So from a young age I knew the value of hard work.

When I first made a grid, I happened to be thinking of the innocence of trees, and then a grid came into my mind and I thought it represented innocence, and I still do, and so I painted it and then I was satisfied. I thought, 'This is my vision.'

When AIDS first appeared, people didn't know what it was. You'll remember that it affected mostly young gay men - it was actually called GRID for a short period of time: Gay-Related Immunodeficiency Syndrome - and people thought it actually might be recreational drugs or other types of toxins.

When the Great Fire of London destroyed most of the medieval city in 1666, Christopher Wren was invited to design a new one.

'Vanity Fair' did this grid thing a couple years ago, connecting people who've worked together, and I had the most branches on it or whatever, because I'd worked with so-and-so and so-and-so worked with so-and-so, and I was kind of in the middle.

I feel good about tomorrow and seventh isn't such a bad place to start the race from. I would have liked to be a position or two higher on the grid but I'm looking forward to it.

Had anyone reported this -- had we reported it, or had it gotten out -- it would have enabled them to know that they had the exact grid coordinate they needed.

HTS technology is attracting strong attention for a broad range of military and commercial applications. In addition to future U.S. Navy generators, HTS wire is currently powering ship propulsion motors, electric grid power cables, synchronous condensers and specialty magnets. We value the opportunity to work once more with our strategic alliance partner, Northrop Grumman, in developing a key component of the Navy's integrated power systems for its future all-electric ships.

If this works, it will spawn companies that will just set up clusters to provide grid computing to other people.

We took tremendous damage from Hurricane Rita to our transmission system and those customers north of Houston are actually helping us because we are having some severe load-balancing problems. So, by conserving energy up there, they are actually helping us get the transmission grid back online. We expect to make some progress in the next few days.

My thoughts on the reverse grid races are exactly the same as most of the other guys ? I'm definitely not a fan of them.

National Grid was one of them. They made a very positive impression on me.

I think you can say that Sun is being aggressive in actually getting Grid computing out there as part of the base load on a number of systems. You are not paying extra for it; you get it as part of the package.

We came out here, Miami-Dade police, and as you can see, our helicopter was up and our dog was out and numerous uniformed officers were in the area conducting a grid search.

The problem was resolved quickly. The Sun Grid was not compromised and there was no degradation of service for users inside the Sun Grid.

We're starting our fifth season of competition, and this is the timeframe we expected to see the growth in the series. We had to establish a foothold, and we've done that. Now we're seeing more drivers and teams who want to compete in the series because we are managing the cost, and we've improved the prize payout. We expect even more cars on the grid when we start the season.

World Community Grid represents a new model for philanthropic giving,

At this point, the compute grid is well understood. But much less time has been devoted to getting data where it needs to be, when it needs to be there, as well as to how this process is managed.

The worst-case scenario is that the power grid goes down, that the telephone companies don't work... and other utilities, like water, will fail.

The speeds with one-ways are 30 miles-per-hour. The speeds you'll see with a grid will be more in the 10 to 20 mile-per-hour range. Maybe it should be about downtown being a destination and serving more housing; more people living and working and shopping downtown.

The team has done a fantastic job to get us on the front row of the grid and I have to thank them for that.

This is always a tough race but I'm certainly looking forward to it.

They all like to have backup power in the area if the grid goes down.

After a thorough analysis of Data Centers in the Charlotte market, we selected Hosted Solutions for their Dual Power Grid architecture, redundant infrastructure, and focus on security and process.

Two- or four-processor computing is the typical entry point in lieu of grid computing. If it works on inexpensive servers, then good for you.

Both theaters will offer incredible artistic opportunities for production. The Hansen Theatre has a grid 65 feet above the stage that will allow us to quickly fly scenic elements on and off the stage area. The stage is fully trapped, meaning the floor is easily removable, so we can sink props or scenery into the floor of the stage.

That's going to be a delicate exercise because it does involve essentially trying to establish defined grid of rates, but that is something that we've got together with the province on because it will be important to preserving stability,

A lot of these high-end business applications have a very high return on their investments. With grid architecture you can be ready to do that.

This is a more shrink-wrapped approach for the concept of grid computing that targets a more modest area of use.

I made good start from the fourth row of the grid and was catching Marco in third place after he made a couple of mistakes,

The new concept for department stores and specialty stores has to be a smaller footprint, shopping carts, a 'spoke and wheel' layout where an inner circle leads to an outer circle instead of the tiresome grid layouts, and central checkout systems. Federated is making similar changes, by introducing a checkout counter for every seven departments within a store.

New York is on a grid system, so it's slightly less challenging logistically, but Londoners are more relaxed in their selling approach. With that intense shopping service in New York, it's easy to get carried away and make a wrong purchase. Here, there's a different flow. You are left to explore, and individuality is key.

The fall prime-time television lineup always looks so fastidious and ordered, laid out in a neat little grid like some periodic table of the situations.

The car was a lot more stable in qualifying than it was in practice ... I feel like we've got room to improve and I don't have quite as much of a death grip on the wheel, so we'll take it from there in tonight's practice. Hopefully we can make the car a bit quicker. Last year we struggled in qualifying, but had a very good race car, so we were able to work our way through the pack. This year we're starting a little further up the grid so I think we can challenge early in the race and hopefully end up with a good result.

The idea is that you get all these different data sources put into a local information grid so that you are a subscriber to the grid. You can call down the information for whatever you need, when you need it.

I tried to fill out the grid and I was just horrible at first. I made all of the typical beginner mistakes.

As a managed service provider, we focus on customer availability throughout high demand periods. We spend time with each of our customers forecasting peak loads and attempt to accommodate as deemed necessary. For some customers it's just a matter of flexible bandwidth coverage for peak events while other customers require more grid related environments. It is not unusual for us to cluster robust hardware, software, security and balanced environments specifically geared towards the high demand.
