Could you please send me the link where it says that I can get the hobbyist license. I want to give it a try.
I got licenses for my MicroVAXen some years ago. I haven't powered either of them on in a long time though...

My ES40 (4 x 667MHz 21264s) consumes 16A @ 110V. Most 110V US circuits are 10A. I blew at least three fuses between that and the RX5670 (4 x Itanium), which consumed a similar amount of power @ 110V.
Household circuits are generally 15A or 20A AFAIK. Never seen one as low as 10.

AFAIK Theo de Raadt still has a bunch of racks of vintage hardware working as an OpenBSD build cluster in his basement (old photo circa 2009: http://www.openbsd.org/images/rack2009.jpg ). VMS-related, OpenBSD discontinued the VAX port in the 6.0 release this year. Never touched a VAX but from what I read the OpenBSD 5.8 VAX port is a lot more recent and better maintained than the NetBSD port.
I have a bad habit where instead of doing something relevant I play with old stuff I read about but didn't have access to as a kid. VMS always interested me since I first read about it in the jargon file. I recently found an alphaserver on craigslist and I just requested an openvms hobbyist license so I could play with it. An octane running irix is another expression of this problem.

Resistance heating is pretty poor compared to heat pumps.
That's the joke that I was trying to make.

Don't forget nuclear plants running PDP-11/VMS until 2050. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/19/nuke_plants_to_keep_...
VMS never ran on the PDP-11. That article is talking about 2 different things (running PDP-11s and HPs stance on VMS).
Former NSA staffer and famous whistleblower, William Binney, says the DNC hack was not done by Russia but by US Intelligence.

Hard to find a comment by you not in oblivion but I'm trolling for nobody : Former NSA staffer and famous whistleblower, William Binney, says the DNC hack was not done by Russia but by US Intelligence. http://investmentwatchblog.com/nsa-whistleblower-says-dnc-ha...
