Slashdot Mirror

There's nothing silly about wanting automatic machines to reduce human labor more than they already have. Just because they don't have a single machine to both wash and dry clothes now doesn't mean we shouldn't ever expect this.

You mean like these?

For the future, consider inventorying, photographing, and valuating as many possessions -- no matter how seemingly negligible. Then ensure that your insurance policy actually covers the cost of replacing as much as possible at full retail value.

There are apps, applications, and web apps which enable you to realistically valuate your possessions, to ensure that your insurance company is giving you a fair amount for theft.

According to this: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-much-monthly-bandwidth-doe-136401
Netflix is 3.6gb for an hd movie, and 500-700mb for a SD movie.

Also, I do think it is "per user". The article says there are 245 million internet users, using 25.7gb ea. There are only 115million households in the US.. so there must be more than one user @ 25.7gb in the average household.

If you take 311m people, subtract those under 5 and over 65, you get around 245million.. so again, I would say it's 25.7gb per person.

Not if they implement olla-style farming; near zero evaporation problems.

unlike the mindless hoards flocking to electric/hybrid cars because they are good for Mother Earth, even though the electricity to charge the electric cars mainly comes from hydro carbon based power plants and the hybrid cars have manufacturing processes that cause more harm then the entire life cycle of a Hummer. i for one just want cheap semi clean power.

better not show this story to any of the fools worried about deforestation in the US... and what ever you do don't bring up the fact that with the need for more trees the industry will plant more trees. then they'll give you some lame argument about the fuzzy bunnies not liking living in these man made forests. seriously.

can't make anybody happy anymore. somebody is going to bitch about this technology. using trees for power is going to get bad press. mark my words. it kind of makes me smile though. like the California case of the solar power panel guy vs the large tree blocking his sun guy.

I didn't know there was a toilet pole in the Constitution.

I built a monitor stand and keyboard tray for my treadmill so I can burn calories while surfing slashdot. It's somewhat similar to this: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ol-images/la/uploads/10_07walkstation.jpg
