I am sure there are Eskimos living in Alaska that would place a positive value on a warmer climate.
To rip off Sam Kinison: GO WHERE THE HEAT IS.
I suspect the ones that continue living there don't place a positive value on the reduced number of cold water/weather sea animals that the humans depend on for their lives & livelihoods.
But hell, of late, I can't hardly find a woman that knows how to cook shit. What happened there?
That's not at all sexist.. nope.
Me? I'm the opposite. I love to cook, and tho I don't have a lot of time, I dedicate my Sunday's to cooking. I cook often 2-4 entrees, and the same sides...and eat those throughout the week for lunches and dinner, finishing them by about Friday or so.
You "don't have a lot of time", yet you *dedicate* hours and hours one day a week to cooking.
It definitely sounds like you LIKE cooking. Great. I don't. Heck, doing laundry (which I admit is mostly throwing it in a machine, then throwing it in another machine, then folding it) is more fun, and I don't like doing laundry!
I have the time to cook, I don't want to cook. I bet that's the case for most of the other readers.
â¦you are someone who doesn't drink alcohol (to any serious degree, though I have had sips of various things)?
(Purposefully possibly wrong: I *think* it just means it's not sweet, but given various wine, I couldn't tell where the dividing line between dry and not dry is.)
Also, "the grid" can be the batteries for him, and have lots of unused power they have to keep generating all night. If he generates all that he uses, he's net neutral, and at the very least can help prevent power power plants from being built.
In many places, he would get to be paid for "expensive" energy (during the sunny/hot part of the day), and gets to PAY FOR the cheap energy (at night).
Aren't we getting to the point where they'll "pay for themselves" in much less than 20 years, even without the subsidies? (With the subsidies, I've seen articles claiming 7 years "repayment".)
The credit card companies are making money indirectly through my use of them, but on each individual purchase, I am paying the same _or less_ than if I were paying via cash or check, and it's more convenient than either. Of course I am counting cash back in that calculation.
They're paying *me* to get a free (interest wise) average 15 day loan of their money, since I pay in full every month. One of my cards did change back to having an annual fee in the past year or so, but IIRC when I figured it out at the time, the usage to avoid the fee was already way below the amount I use it for (normal daily purchases) or easily covered by the cash amounts I got.
US is anyway a funny country when it comes to transportation - no-one *ever* asks you if you've driven an automatic before when you rent a car with an european driving lisence, but you get a *VERY* lengthy explanation when you rent a bicycleâ¦
I've never rented a bicycle (or a car, actually), but this seems to make sense to me. The difference in bicycles is fairly big -- ten-speed, mountain bike, etc. (I admittedly say this as someone who doesn't know a ton about bikes.) Driving an automatic is comparatively easy/obvious, at least when switching from driving a stick.
Though there are a few things I've learned that are necessary to become a successful contestant on various reality shows. The Amazing Race: Learn to drive a stick Survivor: Learn to start a fire.
I've asked that in other threads, and IIRC, the response at least partially had to do with start/stop technology which is at least part of hybrids nowadays.. and somehow that's not as feasible on diesel.
Though I have seen news reports of at least one diesel/electric hybrid recently.
Until a 100% electric car can be re-fueled in less than 10 minutes they are impractical for a large portion of the population.
Your uses are WAY WAY WAY out of the norm for most drivers.
Most drivers just need to drive a few *tens* of miles at most to/from work each day. Those could be done in even the lowest range mainstream electric car nowadays. (I'm not talking about the golf-cart-like older ones that can only drive on city streets.)
You can charge at night, when the electricity is cheaper (if you're on that type of plan), too.
(BTW, I say this as a driver of a gasoline car. If my next car is a planned purchase [i.e. not an emergency "I need a car"], it will be at worst a hybrid, most likely an electric or at least *plug in* hybrid.]
Can you give more details? I don't know enough about cars to know all of the terminology (and not everything is linked), and the only info I see on wikipedia is about a *prototype* V8 that a magazine used for a review.
(When I was a kid, we had a Vega, and I'm always amused that it's so high on the worst cars ever lists.)
(Mostly a joke, I don't know what the weather is like there, but I do like that I can wear shorts all year around⦠No, I admit most people don't think it's warm enough to wear shorts all year around!)
So you say out loud "my username is PRMan" and "my password is DUUUDE", and I hear that walking by and remember it (WITHOUT USING IT)..
That's what Google did, according to all of the news articles I've read about it. They captured the unencrypted stuff that people were willingly broadcasting.
OK, I guess you're right. I originally had thought of mentioning that I knew Comcast was asking for a waiver, but I hadn't realized it had gotten that far. Has it actually gone into effect anywhere? I have recently had cable cards still able to give me a channel lineup when in the un-setup state (sorry, don't remember the proper term -- I didn't even get most basic channels, but I did get the equivalent of OTA).. Before calling the cable company to match it with one of my Tivos.
I actually mostly agree with you, but cell phones (and even landline phones?) have moved towards unlimited, at least in the "mainstream" plans. In other words, long ago you always paid for what you used, but then they had unlimited nights & weekends, then unlimited data, and so on.
I still think prepaid cell phones are better for many many users (including me, if I didn't have a work supplied phone), but it just seemed like cell phones generally moved *towards* unlimited rather than away from it.
If you truly mean *all* channels, even rebroadcasts of OTA channels, are protected, then this is against the FCC's rules, and you should file a FCC complaint.
Also, if *other channels* don't want themselves to be protected and they are being protected, you can help get them unprotected (I have seen people talk on tivocommunity.com of having this work on their cable systems).

You must mean trademark.

For how many years?

Was the calculation done on a Pentium?

You mean a V8 Chevrolet Vega, right?
Can you give more details? I don't know enough about cars to know all of the terminology (and not everything is linked), and the only info I see on wikipedia is about a *prototype* V8 that a magazine used for a review.
(When I was a kid, we had a Vega, and I'm always amused that it's so high on the worst cars ever lists.)
Based on car ads & reviews I've read, nowadays the automatic often gets the same MPG, once in a while one fewer MPG.
I don't remember which car it was, but I swear I saw the reviews recently of one that had *higher* MPG for the automatic, which was surprising.
(I say this as an automatic driver, btw, even of a car some people think putting an automatic in is sacrilege⦠no not some high end sports car.)
But anyone that would pirate it would just pirate the latest version anyway.
I was going to comment about this. I didn't RTFA, but "net zero" != self-powered, since it's still on the grid.
This is so "well known" it was even covered on Nova.

Yes, but you have to live in Ohio!

Ha haw!
That must be a new one. I've never heard of the "mutli" award.

Can you give specific examples? What version of the OS? What specific cache file(s)?
if you can reproduce this, write a bug at bugreport.apple.com, and/or provide enough info to reproduce and I will.
