I designed, installed and maintain a 10kw solar array last year to power our businesses servers and offer a large (2900 amp hour) uninterpretable power supply during prolonged grid outages.
I would be very interested to know how solar is an Uninterruptable Power Supply at night.:)
I bought one of these to replace a failed Western Digital Drive (which failed after 2 months in fact). I was very happy with the performance...... now I find out it has got a chance of suddenly having the data inaccessible.
I don't have fucking time to reinstall my operating systems over and over again.
The real reason Vista really failed is the same people who are hyping up 7, the media.
Vista changed the way drivers needed to be written for security reasons, and because hardware vendors suck at writing drivers for whatever they make....
Translation: "security reasons" = Massive DRM which required the drivers to a hundred times more complex.
hehe.. actually, it was sarcasm. Hovering your hands over the keyboard and moving them as little as possible is exactly how you get CTS. T
You don't want the arms and wrists static-loaded for too long. That is true. The solution to that is microbreaks and macrobreaks, and that is the ONLY solution. Neither QWERTY nor DVORAK will help. QWERTY does not move your hands more, only your fingers more and more frequenty into extended reach positions, and that is not a good thing.
Another component to the equation is reduction of repetative motion. Repetative motion is devastating.
If one wants to use a RIAA song, he/she should get express written permission from the copyright holder, and mention that it was granted in the vid, with a copyright notice.
If one doesn't want to do that there is a lot of awesome creative commons stuff out there.
Alot more people than you think have "hallucinations" and don't know it, mostly because they don't know what a hallucination actually is.
If we were going to believe Hollywood, visual hallucinations would be things like people who aren't there or ants or stuff from an acid trip. Auditory hallucinations would only be things like hearing voices.
But visual could be things like seeing shadows moving in the corners of your eyes, or a flash of color or movement. Auditory could be hearing music in your mind for just a second.
New TVs are not that expensive. Even pensioners could buy a new one. I don't think the government should be paying for any of this.
It's very simple. Go back to the reasons for the "digital only" conversion. First, strike out the myth that it's to give HD. Digital HD. Second, remember that the market was not demanding digital TV.
So what's left? Two things. First, the government wanted to sell off the bandwidth that normal TV uses. Second, the *AA lobbies loved the idea of digital because they could put their "broadcast flag" in it and implement DRM.
Neither of these two reasons are in the public interest, and again, the market did not demand the conversion to digital TV. The Bush admin controlled FCC knew that they would have a lot of pissed off people if they forced people to buy new TV's so they came up with this converter box to pay for their hidden agendas.
This law was written for the *AA and their international ilk.
They can shut down independent musicians simply by saying so (like Shakespeare said "With but a prick, I damn him"). Furthermore, they can shut down anyone who legally downloads any independent work through Bittorrent (it's filesharing) just by claiming it violates their copyright.
None of these laws were ever about protecting artists. They are all about giving the established monopolies a method of protecting their predatory business practices.
I believe the point of the whole idea is that the monitoring/tracking is part of their sentence.
No. Otherwise the judge would apply it at sentencing, and it would not automatically apply to everyone. You could make it part of the terms of parole, but that is not what we are talking about here.
I remember when the whole Traci Lords scandal thing came out. She was underage and making porn tapes.
Never having seen them, I couldn't understand how the pornographers couldn't have known. Then, years later I saw a documentary on it, and they showed a snippet of the porn movies that she made when underage (snippet had no sex and fully clothed).
I was totally shocked. That girl looked far from an underage kid. I couldn't tell the difference.
Wasteful, but extremely useful for certain purposes. Most electric toothbrushes are a perfect example, if solved slightly differently - you don't want unsealed electrical points on a device that gets wet in normal use. Any other sealed device that needs charging could possibly benefit from this.
So you have a wireless power transmitter in the bathroom integrated in the normal electrical outlet. What powered bathroom devices could we power this way? Tooth brushes, razors, vanity mirrors, shower radios, all sorts of kids toys, and that adult bath toy the battery powered vibrator.
Actually, I think you don't want this for a bathroom appliance. You want something you can physically cut the power feed to for safety's sake. Electric toothbrushes charge via induction these days and their internal batteries won't kill you.
Unless you want the one-shot bathtub toaster. That might be a good application of this technology.
Badmouthing the NEA wasn't a good idea. However, overall he did what he should have. Escalating to the superintendent was completely appropriate.
That teacher was a fool.
Worse, she was a fool with authority and she threatened him.
Remember that fool Jerry Tuttle who threatened Centos because he couldn't understand the difference between a hacked webpage and a misconfigured server, even when it was explained to him?
Johnny Hughes was polite, even solved the fool's problem for him, and didn't get a thank you.

What if I build by own systems?
Then you are tech savvy enough to use this.

They are an operating system monopoly, and they can and DO leverage that to create unfair advantages in new markets.
Monopolies have to play by different rules. That is what gives the governments the right to tell them what they can and cannot load.
How am I supposed to download Firefox then?!!? FTP? c'mon!
Go back to the US antitrust lawsuit.
The whole point was that the OEMs decide the middleware.
So you buy a Smell(TM) brand computer and they decide to put Opera on it instead of MSIE, you use Opera to get firefox.

And the latter is a better solution anyway.
F*** the RIAA.
It's simple.
Guns don't kill people.
Videogames do.

Wikipedia has a fairly decent overview of it.
Exactly true.
In just the same way that Sadaam Hussein was linked to 9/11 and Weapons of Mass Destruction, necessitating the preemptive invasion if Iraq.
If a politician or group has a hidden agenda, and wants to make it happen, he will find the research to support it and ignore the rest.
Why did this remind me of that old Daffy Duck cartoon where he played Robin Hood?

I TRIPLE dog dare you to do this.

Kick ass open source Larrabee drivers would rock...
If providing your encryption key is protected by the fifth amendment, then how in the world can your password be any different?
Just because you have been labeled a "sex offender" doesn't mean you lose your constitutional rights.

They are not claiming that "Apple Forgot To Copyright Mac OS."
They are claiming that Apple forgot to file the official copyright registration at the USPTO, which is a prerequisite for court actions.
They have the units correct elsewhere in the article... it's just a typo.
