I just spent the night up with somewhat painful gas.(meatloaf) Now, my room smells like Billings Montana. I wonder how many light
bulbs all that methane could power.
Though, I'd imagine harvesting may be more uncomfortable than the gas itself.
Um... in this case, I don't think sunshine is something you can count on. This is true of many places.
In the United Kingdom the frequency of rain driven into the country by the south-western trade winds following the warm gulfstream currents. Areas along the western coasts can receive between 1016 mm (40 inches, at sea-level) and 2540 mm (100 inches, on the mountains) of rain per year.
I live in the middle of a temperate rainforest right here in Washington state. Solar panels simply would not work very efficiently here either.
Now, if someone wants to put some turbines in my downspouts, I think we've got a plan. But if I buy them, I expect a yearly gutter cleaning to be part of my contract.;)
But I digress too, to your point. This seems like it would be a maintenance nightmare. And is probably the worst of the parasitic power ideas I've heard to date.
There are many words in the dictionary that I would avoid. "Stupider" is one of them. Just pronouncing it is awkward.
The preferred way of expressing this idea is "more stupid."
(personally, I like "less intelligent")
"The Heath Handbook" has a list of the preferred comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs. The handbook's rule of thumb is that, if a word is one syllable, use "er" and "est," as in "tall, taller, and tallest."
But . . . "Many adjectives of two syllables and all longer adjectives form the comparative and superlative by adding "more" and "most."
Examples: alert more alert most alert
ambitious more ambitious most ambitious
I suppose your friend would choose "alerter" and "alertest," but he would be in a "peculiar" minority.
Have him try to pronounce "ambitiouser" and "ambitiousest."
You are permitted to chuckle as he struggles.

Your accusation doesn't surprise me. Whenever anyone questions child pornography laws, they are accused of being a sicko or pedophile themselves. It is absurd, to say the least, that you find the fact that I don't support castrating people who merely look at pictures is "creepy".
You make a good point (as do others) about the questioning of the laws themselves. And I DO understand what and why you would question them.
I don't actually think you are one of them (sickos), but being a father tends to get the better of me where this is concerned. I know that my reaction is not uncommon, and will be the biggest hurdle when it comes down to brass tacks.
No, I'm not interested in prosecuting (or castrating) someone for looking at barely legal (or illegal) pictures of slightly underage girls (who are probably being paid anyway). My problem, and lack of tolerance is directed at people like this...

These were military personnel conspiring with a foreign national, to share and distribute pornographic images of children... Thousands of them.
Can you CURE sexual attraction to children? Not any more than you could CURE being hetero or homo-sexual.
What do YOU suggest we do with these people? Besides start another un-winnable war against them? LOL
The article is about Child Porn, NOT GGW. You know I wasn't talking about "just pictures"... though I find your defense of such actions (17 is still a minor in my state) a little creepy to say the least. You were obviously never victimized by one of these jerks.. or are you just one of them?
For someone to have pictures to look at, someone had to take those pictures. To me, both parties victimized the child and are not equally sick, but very close.
Anytime the US government mentions "fight against" or "war on", I can't help but cringe... What other infringements on our web rights/privacy will come out of this?
I'm all FOR castrating the sick fucks who look at this kind of crap, but aren't there supposed to be agancies in place ALREADY dealing with this?
Throwing more money at it does what?
Besides raising my taxes to fight yet another war that we cannot win... Fucking SIGH!
It is actually quite easy to break a rootkit... however, removal from a running Windows install can be quite impossible.
The best way to remove them is to use another OS to hit the files, then break the rootkit code and/or replication routine from Windows itself.
Unfortunately, full removal of the kernel level coding injected by the rootkit tends to break the kernel itself.
In a nutshell, Windows fragility prevents the proper removal of the rootkit, rather than the stealth and/or hooking used by the rootkit.
I use Elive Linux and it's a B____ to even get a working Icon to desktop.
That is a function of the Window Manager.. KDE..Gnome..etc.
Plus,..the Linux installers leave the End User clueless as to where the program was installed too.
Most RPM tools give you a list of files, dependencies, and paths... I am not sure what Debs do.
But I'm not sure any sane person would want to apt-get install Crysis 3 with a 15GB install package.
Though I tend to agree with you on this, your audience consists of./ers. By nature, somewhat insane.
I may be confusing this with something else... but, does this mean I will FINALLY get my "5 seconds to KDE" boot time?
Bundling?
rs232 makes a very good point above...
Because Asus doesn't hold a virtual monopoly on the OS, the Applications and the server protocols. And it isn't as if they are forcing you to use it.
rs232 is quite correct.
Go back 10 years... You simply could not buy a piece of (retail) hardware without getting a bunch of "goodies" on the driver and utility disks. Many major vendors that no one had ever heard of, got to be well known using this kind of marketing. Give it away for free, or include a trial version, as name recognition, even without monetization, can only be good for a company.
Unfortunately, some of the goodies were crap. Second rate antivirus software, CD virtualization tools, and "backup" software were very common. Even so, you weren't FORCED into installing them.
They were optional. That is VERY different than overtly or covertly installing a piece of sub-standard, or insecure software WITH the OS. (To me, the quality of the software isn't the big issue with bundling, though it plays a big part in how happy or unhappy I am when falling victim to the "bundling" problem.)
Personally, I am very excited about this, and cannot wait to get one of my own....me and about a million other geeks, nerds, and./ers/
I noticed that gmail load times increased significantly during a few periods yesterday afternoon. After the most recent gmail flaw, I wondered if it was something like this.
I hope they fix it soon, as some have already stated. Sheesh, and we just implemented the new SPAM filter...what am I going to do about gmail addys?
Well, it doesn't hurt to help him out here. Others may want to know the same thing, and can use the answer to do it themselves.
Even if he is charging soemone else, I don't see how what he's asking here is any different than going to a message board and asking questions. (other than the bigger better audience)
Kinda wild examples, but I'd personally like to see software companies made MORE responsible.
perhaps I should have continued with..
if they want more control
My point being... everyone is sue happy (yes.. all you/.ers know that already.)
The lines of ownership and responsibility are being drawn in the software world. Ridiculous claims of control over something that is fairly intangible to begin with, are as silly and outrageous as the examples in my previous post.
That's a very good point.
If I play (insert FPS name) until I go violently crazy and pull a Columbine, should I hold the game developer responsible?
What if I build a CDROM launcher and start shooting people with old AOL disks? Can the injured party sue Time Warner?
What about 3rd party security software? (for Windoze)If it fails to protect me, can I sue M$?
Kinda wild examples, but I'd personally like to see software companies made MORE responsible.
Years ago, I played Ultima Online. There was an issue with my ISP that could be handled with a 3rd party "add-on/hack" that kept the game connection (to UO)going during high traffic times.
Of course, I complained to UO and never received anything in the way of USEFUL help. So, I continued to use the "add-on" despite emails warning me not to.
Do I even have to go there about crappy M$ support? If it weren't for hacks, tools, and other
unofficially supported tools, Windoze would be completely unusable in some cases.
