Yep. And it is fun. You can pick up a $20 sextant off Amazon to play with (although you'd be better off with a more serious instrument). Like typewriters and other analog tools it slows you down and makes you think.
I wonder how many missions NASA could fund if they quit doing the fucking animations.
I can watch cartoons on the Disney Channel. I started to watch their video but left after 20 seconds of animation. Show the damn pictures.
Incidentally, and as an aside, years ago I had a friend in Houston who left NASA. This was shortly after a new version of Windows was rolled out and he got sick and tired of having his computer spontaneously reboot after updates were installed in the middle if the day.
Bullshit. I'm the IT guy for a chain of independent pharmacies and know this is a categorically false statement. Like many others it is part of the mythology surrounding the healthcare "crisis".
But the rooftop systems are "essentially invisible to us," says Ching, "because they sit behind a customer's meter and we don't have a means to directly measure them."
Bullshit. My home PV system has a utility-supplied meter that allows them to measure exactly what my system is doing.
Great for hosting - excellent support - and not bad for domain stuff. (They actually resell Tucows domain services.) I've never had a problem with them. They also are the official host for the Joomla i believe and excel in Joomla/Drupal/WordPress services.
I also use namecheap for domains but avoid their hosting. Kinda flaky.
And GoDaddy is to be avoided at all costs - not just for their service and upselling but for their support of SOPA.
This car is going to have a major problem with most people because
The first time there's' a catastrophic failure the 24 hour news stations are going to be showing old films of the Heisenberg. Hydrogen will become the really scary new (again) bogyman. "Oh, the humanity"
But no one will think of all of the gasoline powered cars that came equipped with exploding gas tanks. Chrysler Jeeps being the most recent I can think of.
Why would they show films of the Uncertainty Principle?
First you'll have to get rid of all those pesky poor people - which increasingly means everyone - since they/we won't be able to afford them.
(The Cash for Clunkers program was another move in that direction since it removed perfectly good automobiles from the market that would typically be used in a few years by people lower on the food chain.)
I'm in Vermont and can attest to this. See Ben & Jerry's, Green Mountain Coffee, Burton Snowboards and more for examples of crunchy-granola-goodness selling out eventually.
An Internet-connected thermostat isn't needed for this. 20 years ago our suburban Maryland home had its heat pump on a utility-controlled program - Kilowatchers - that did the same thing without the Internet. The utility was able to switch the heat pump on and off over the power lines offering the same type of discount thanks to a switch they hung on the outside compressor. It worked great. I see they have discontinued it and started this Internet crap.

Shirley, that'd be Big Ugly Fat Fucker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Shirley, that'd be surely.
Exactly. I bought a swingset for my kid on CompuServe well before this date.
Use Linux Mint and you can still use your Windows in a VM with Virtualbox. And dump OpenOffice for LibreOffice while you're at it. Better all around.
"They colluded with corrupt international bank officials who willfully ignored its criminal nature..."

I haven't listened to Garnter since they announced 20 years ago it cost $30k/year to support a desktop!
a) It is going to cost a shitload of money
b) They'll do the best they can- most of them do care
c) You didn't ask for an option "c" but this is the most important: This is just going to make the whole thing worse. By a lot.
Let's start World War One Hundred Eleven?
"...software that can do more things and that works better..."
That's the funniest goddam thing I've read this week.
What utter bullshit.
This is the same kind of crap that de-legitimizes (that a word?) the real good alternative energy can be.
Bullshit. I'm the IT guy for a chain of independent pharmacies and know this is a categorically false statement. Like many others it is part of the mythology surrounding the healthcare "crisis".
You mean the "special...brand of forensic science" - like DNA and hair analysis - that has proven to be outright fakery?
So, the gubmint agency that built the Internet... "owned" by the same gubmint that built NSA wants to build the new TOR to increase privacy?
Sounds trustworthy to me.

Don't you mean "NSA would like to hear from you?"
They've got to be kidding if they think anyone is going to believe anything they may have to say...

This one's orbit is high enough to encompass Gore's monumental ego.

What can I run my Nexus tablet on now that Cyanogenmod has sold out? Suggestions anyone?

It is ALWAYS about the money.
