If you are using electric heat, chances are you don't live in a cold climate and pay for air conditioning for much of the year negating any "savings". Here in cold-balls Canada, EVERYONE has centeral heating; it's too expensive to use electricity. That being said, I do agree that datacenters' heat should be used to heat useful things (office bldgs, like you suggest).

Are you intentions to keep battle.net free for Diablo and Starcraft? If so, thank you, if not, what will you be offering that would justify the expense?
The startup capital for a satellite and launch are already extremely high. Imagine, adding rocket development & testing. The exploration of space is for in the public interest. I agree that NASA has to get out of the transporation game now that private options are available, but NASA still has a key role in space exploration.
The satellites are, but who launched them? Who put the research dollars into the rockets? Who paid for the failures, and eventually made the process quite reliable? NASA did.
Have you ever used a satellite? No satellite TV? Satellite Radio? Communications, Google Earth? If NASA didn't spend the money investing in space vehicles, the Russians would have been the only players in the space game for a long time. This was during the Cold War too, so that just asking the Russians to launch a satellite was not an option.
NASA blazed the trail that Elan Musk is now paving. Science needs large amounts of capital, and many discoveries are not marketable in a profitable way, so there is little incentive for private funding, but are valuable to the world nonetheless. NASA is a prime example of this.

I boycott most music as well, but just because it sucks. The best music (IMO of course) was made in the 80's and 90's. The VAST majority of my downloaded music is content that I originally had a CD for, but have lost over the course of several moves.
RAmen to that! Every vote in parliment should be a question put to the people. Oh, so you want to call an election do you? Well, the people think it's a waste of money, tough balls, stick out your minority government. Oh, the RIAA & Co. want more strict penaltys for downloaders. Tough luck, the people don't. Retroactive immunity to telcos? Let 'em burn, we hate them anyways.
Well is you want to turn this into a science lesson then you should add that the membrane is semi-permeable and only allows some particles across. Anyways, it depends on how you define it as to what the flow is:
Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent (frequently water) through a semi-permeable membrane, from a solution of low solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with high solute concentration (low water potential
and
Net movement of solvent is from the less-concentrated (hypotonic) to the more-concentrated (hypertonic) solution, which tends to reduce the difference in concentrations.
Osmosis is the flow of material from that of high concentration to low concentration. What the GP meant was that spending time with "lusers" depletes us of our precious knowledge and must be avoided at all times.
You couldn't ban a user based on a MAC as slashdot never sees that. MAC is layer 2, Internet is layer 3. You only need a MAC to talk to machines in the local network. You could ban based on IP, but then they proxy...

Probably not far. The point of a hydrofoil is to lift the boat off the water, thus reducing drag. For a canoe (which is bacially the shape of this) drag is not nearly the same as a motor boat moving at high speeds. It would take more energy to support the boat in the air, then would be gained from the lesser friction.
That's assuming that he could even get the boat off the water, which whould likely be impossible with only one human power.

Who cares? OOOH LOOK, the same product as last year but with more storage? Crazy who would have thought. Oh what you say, they make the iPod more Iphoneish. That's not news, that's par for the course.
Nope, it send it's time to the GPSr as it does now in it's own format. Your GPSr knows how to convert that to human time. You would update your GPSr for the leap second fix, but even if you didn't no one would notice.
You missed the point. In a system like GPS accuracy is paramount. The birds need to know where they are, and are updated as they deviate. Likewise the need to be synched and need to be kept in synch. They do not run off the same clocks as humans though, so do not need to be updated with a leap second update. To the satellites, time goes on...
I could be wrong, but from looking at the video, it appears that the image is static, but the background changes colour. So there is basically 10 or so "pixels" that flash in the background. Changing the image would be impossible, but you could make it flash faster.

in the Aptera, there's an in-car computer nav/entertainment system, four nav cameras, and several LCD displays), locks/windows, seats, seatbelts, airbags, cooling fans, windshield wipers and fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid (if not rack & pinion), traction control (if present), ESC (if present), headlights, brake lights, running lights, internal lights, and so on. If you're lucky, you might cut your maintenance costs in half. It'll probably be more than that, however.
All this is present in a gas powered car too, making this a moot point.
Not surprised, there is really no need to. Your GPSr doesn't care what time it is in human terms, it just needs a number that it can use to caclulate signals relative to each other. That could be anything, possibly even the number of seconds that have passed since 1970.
I would be more surprised if they acutally didupdate GPS satellites with leap second fixes. I would think you would have to recilibrate all the satellites.

If it involved anything other than Excel or Word then it was considered an IT problem.
