Anytime a corp tells me they want to help, experience(and corp law) tells me philanthropy is not even remotely their motive. When multi-corps start 'cooperating' for my benefit I get as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Besides being shocked that this is not already a standard practice, I'm going to predict the overhead for this stalwart effort is going to be too large to bear so some sort of profitable fix will follow...
A silver bullet to kill the used-phone market sure would help protect us, the customers, right?
They fail because, unlike your alternative suggestions, a better life is not the objective. Despite what the marketing team would like you to believe, the true objective is to score/create new consumers in new markets.
Buy a programmable thermostat. This will pay for itself in a couple of months.
A note of caution on Programmable Tstats on tiered power plans: When you set it 'on' for 7PM(when off-peak pricing begins), plenty of 'smart' systems will anticipate and run the compressor full bore for a period(20/40/60 minutes) of on-peak usage to have the temp at the desired temp when that time comes. Getting into a diagnostics mode and disabling this 'feature' is recommended or you may be surprised to find the exact opposite of savings. Honeywell calls their service Adaptive Intelligent Recovery(AIR), must get into setup mode to disable. YMMV..
...but....but....Rupert's a good guy, a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist! Capitalism is good in any extreme, not evil like them darned commies. In the world of black and white market forces rule therm all, cheaters/evil-doers are always checked without the need of oversight and ponies come with optional horns included. Shucks, he's just misunderstood... a saint among entrepreneurs.
That's what I came to say. I try to bring food on-board whenever I'm aloft for multi-hours, most recently National coney dogs(yes I always bring extra for my seatmate/s discretion). The vote was unanimous, they tasted awesome at 30,000ft. If at all possible, I suspect they tasted better at altitude, but I am extremely biased when it comes to coneys.
Exactly. How many people say, 'I lost my mortgage payment in Vegas last week!'? None. All you ever hear is how much they 'won'.
BTW, only counting these wins in his history I am confident he will be a winner in the long run. When his name hit the 'blacklist' he is forever barred from entering any casino offering wagers that high ever again.
ProTIP: When you type 'Derp' in a post, your post does not automatically achieve any sort of edgy or cool factor and undermines any credibility you may have otherwise brought to the discussion. Thanks for playing.
I will be happy to see the 'd3 release prediction' articles end. What a cluster-chuck...you would think they have been 'raising Cain' for the last 3...4....12.... years. I hope the impending, requisite articles by the many apologists and shills telling the suckers how good online solo play is for their ultimate gameplay experience will be entertaining, not just ubiquitous. Haven't playedSC2, will be reloading D2 for entertainment fix b/c I'm no their data whore 'John' and don't need another moocher BFF.
TLDR; 3 years is too much buildup for a release; enjoy your DRM while the servers are lit.
I was hoping for a manual on how to remove Google+ completely from my internet experience and re-implement the '+' operator in search. What were they taking when they decided to break what they did well in order to replace what they did not do well?
... still waiting/hoping for the shrooms wear off in Mountain View.
Feels like the long con in a confidence game, no? Fight fire with fire is my response. I wonder how many solicitors call the lottery asking for Buddy Revell... or how many tons of mailers never reach my address in the middle of the park... Fuck em, they want info so bad I'll give em all the mis-info they deserve.
On a larger scale could a smaller amount of electricity(relative to current cooling/lighting costs) and a hot server room create a lighted, cooler server room? Would a hot attic in the summertime save me $ by channeling light into my home AND cooling my crawlspace? Could this cool my tower and light my office simultaneously? Sounds theoretically doable(based on TFA), but...could it scale up and preserve efficiency?
Smart is bandied about like it's a tangible, measurable metric. Would somebody please explain how 'smart' is not a relative abstract and explain how it is measured? Isn't it more or less a subjective potpourri of logic, intuition and experience? Does it count when it is skewed by 'not smart' decisions made from misinformation/ignorance, spontaneous emotions or the mob mentality... or do some 'smart' people get a mulligan from time to time? Is the rocket scientist 'smart' even though she cannot tie her own shoes? A better focus, perhaps, would be on how easily led the collective is and start looking at ways to educate the public how their 'individual' thoughts are not theirs alone. I don't know... I can memorize and calculate numbers, problem-solve errors in a system and program the VCR clock, but apparently I'm not that 'smart'.

Had to sell them to get a bacon stretcher and new muffler bearings.
They may have been wrong, but that was a fat-tail. According to their models that couldn't happen again for a million years!
To think Palin will have residency soon makes me shudder... she's going to fit right in.

Everything I learned in kindergarten was a lie.

I used to think the day Lucas decided he would direct the prequels as the worst day ever in the Star Wars universe.
I was wrong.
RIP, good sir. Thanks for everything.
I'll take a good. Don't need the bad. The last thing I need is a new, grubby friend who's always mooching money off me.

that is all
Several provisions of the 1933 Banking Act sought to restrict 'speculative' uses of bank credit. Section 3(a) required each Federal Reserve Bank to monitor local member bank lending and investment to ensure there was not âoeundue useâ of bank credit for âoespeculative trading or carryingâ of securities, commodities or real estate.
Most would agree that when the fox is put in charge of the hen house, foul play will ensue. Just a couple examples:
