This is why I give out fake information. I have no reason to trust them so I give fake birthdays, fake phone numbers, fake addresses, fake names, what ever it takes. There is no reason to give them valid information. They are not to be trusted. You should pick and choose which information you want to give. Feel no obligation to answer a question truthfully just because some corporation asks you.
Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) works great. We've been using CMA for three years on our farm. It is non-toxic, doesn't damage concrete, doesn't corrode steel, won't hurt plants, aquatic life or pigs (what we raise on pasture) so it is pretty ideal.
The down side is that CMA is more expensive than road salt. I feel the extra cost is worth it to protect the environment, our livestock, our buildings and our vehicles.
Our utility has also put a ban on "Net Metering Connects" as they call it here. They fully admit it is all about money but still try and look green. It is all a sham and a scam.
The way net metering works here is during the summer months when you generate excess power you build up a credit on your account. Then come January 1st take all that extra credit that you have built up and donate it to themselves such that you start the new year with no credit during the darkest, cloudiest time of the year. Now you have to buy power from them until you get to late summer when you've finally got a net metered credit again. Very lucrative for the power company.
So, why don't they want more connections? Because they say the people who are net metering aren't having to pay the cost of power delivery and they are protesting this by demanding a new fee and higher rates.
I'm fully aware of that. I didn't vote for Bush. You are implying I did and that I'm a conservative but you're wrong. I voted against Bush every time. Thank you for demonstrating an astounding lack of understanding of the real world issues.
I'm not interested in an erasable Internet. The beauty of the Internet is how it saves data, conversation, ideas across time and makes them accessible to people now and in the future. The Internet is a repository of knowledge. Sure you have to filter out garbage, but that has always been the case since we first evolved memories.
The future of the internet is everything being safely and securely stored and accessible.
Yes, that's how I get them now. But this should not be necessary. There is no need for the government to intervene like this. SInce LEDs are so good for light they should just let the economics work. No need for legislation.
No, you don't understand the problems. Just try not to legislate solutions for things you don't really understand. It is amazing the number of city slickers who replied, who have never farmed, who don't understand the real world issues, who want to control other people's choices. Just leave the economics to work.
No, I don't run the lights in the warm months. No need for the light or the heat. An electric heater actually uses more electricity than a light bulb and is more dangerous. The chickens do better with the extra light that the bulb provides. Since you don't farm you don't understand the problems. Why do you feel the need to outlaw things that you don't understand. Just let other people make their own economic choices.
This is a beautiful example of too much government by idiots. What the city slicker politicians and neo-econazies don't understand is that the 100W bulbs are useful. I use them for the combination of heat and light they produce on our farm. They are lower power than the 250W bulbs and thus safer so they're less likely to cause a fire while still providing heat in a creep setting for baby chicks, ducklings and piglets.
In my home I all of my light bulbs are LED, because I want light. But in the sheds in the winter the heat of the incandescent bulbs is useful.
If you don't want to buy them then don't. But no need to outlaw them. The law is plain arrogance and fascism.
"how do you find enough employees if 90% of the country's population is deemed unworthy of jobs? Well, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings' support of Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us PAC suggests one possible answer â" you get lobbyists to convince Congress you need to hire as many people as you want from outside the country."
Wrong, greedy and short sighted. Far better is to breed your own talent and train them from birth to the jobs, as well as teaching them the flexibility necessary to adapt as the job changes. Eventually this evolves better workers. Netflix has it all wrong.
For the money they have spent on the web sites it would have been cheaper and faster by a factor of 10x to hire an army of people to do the applications on paper. We already have the people: Literally the army or you could have the census people do it. No need to waste hundreds of millions to billions of dollars on web sites like this.
We Need Legacy Support - I keep saying this and the little kids keep dissing me but we desperately need to maintain legacy support. In 30 more years what else will we have lost through rapid obsolescence?
Companies like Apple and Microsoft need to reach back and provide it all the way to their earliest systems forward. We need to be able to access our old data and that means being able to run our old applications.
Congress needs to put forth the legal framework that allows all software to be legal cross compiled, enveloped and emulated so that it can run on future hardware and in future operating systems.
This does not require ballooning of operating systems. It can be done through fairly simple emulation or better yet cross compilation and enveloping. We have the technology.
Many scientists classify modern humans and Neanderthals as both the same species, they're both human e.g., Homo sapiens. They are then classified as different sub-species. Sub-species can interbreed.
Apple needs to focus on legacy support for both hardware and software. Software should gracefully fall back on features to work with older hardware. Older software should continue to work on newer hardware. Apple can make this happen all the way back and that would support the classics of software from the past. Just because they're updating and want to sell new hardware doesn't mean our media and software should be abandoned.
This also would be the green thing to do. __________________

I wasn't aware of 'ice insects' until now. We have the occasional insect who I see in the winter on our snow but no 'ice insects'. Have they reported this new species to the scientific community or are they just going to repel it instead?
These areas are not representative of the Northeast or New England. Most of the concentration is around the area from Washington, DC to NYC. This is not the north east but rather the high urban political and financial markets lane.

Being an AnonCoward you miss the point and lack the intelligence to actually understand the concepts.

No, you completely and totally missunderstood that. Makes me wonder why you're so defensive.
Ooo! Outsiders worked so well before! Snow-den! Snow-den! What fun.

They already have these in Japan, made ironically by an American (good old USofA) company.

It is also spelled Neanderthal, with an 'h'.
I know, picky, picky, picky...
Will this work as well as all the other UN Votes? Doubtful. But then the others rarely work either.
Hmm... I stuck a piece of black electrical tape over mine when I got the MacBook.

A laser is not a focused beam of light. It is parallel light. Get the details right.
