And until then YOU rather have EVERYONE ELSE (including ME) cut on their electricity spending? This is constructive how again? You need to offer something BETTER if you want your alternative to be picked up. Life dependent on renewable energy with today's technology is not a better way of life in the pure comparative sense. I would love to hear other suggestions from you though.
The "wiring" you are talking about is a basic property of an AC distribution network - you get at least 2 (usually three) phase shifted hot wires into the building, and either get a 4th ground wire or supply your own. The voltage between any of the hot wires is 240v (just like it is 480v in Europe). By the way I am sure you have seen heavy duty 220v stoves that require 3-phase AC electricity to run. Guess what - the same stoves run at 480 in an average European home (I have one).
Could you elaborate on the "you generally never have to type a WPA key" bit? I am genuinely interested in how to setup a no-touch-password credential distribution system. Reading links most welcome (superfluous googling didn't help much).
No dude, "please" ain't going to do it. As long as there are specific limits to overcome I promise you I will not slow down. It is too much fucking fun:)

You know who gets defensive and insulting when stories like this pop up? Drivers who are secretly ashamed of the fact that they drive like assholes.
By your definition I am a classical asshole. I have close to $1300 in fines within a 4 year period and have been forced to take three "defensive driving" courses to offset penalty points. I perfected my route home work, so a 20 minute drive could be taken in 12 minutes on a good day (it included taking a 90deg right ramp at low boundary of 80mph, coming off a 55mph limited highway). My best stint - in the fall of 2003 I managed to get three tickets in three different states on consecutive Friday(Indiana), Saturday(Ohio) and Monday(Michigan) (to top it off I was physically in Illinois on Sunday, but wasn't that lucky). Do I sound ashamed to you? Didn't think so:)
By the way my "career" abruptly ended when I moved to Germany. Nobody goes after me here (actually my fines now consist of 95% parking tickets). All speed traps are clearly indicated (map24.de, look for white circles along highways). Speed limits are routinely broken by drivers and policemen alike, and nobody really gives a damn. You might get an occasional picture in the mail if you are not careful enough and that's about it. It's just not the same, no cat and mouse game, no thrills, no... nothing really. Although I have to admit, driving to drive, instead of driving to look at your speedometer and at the road at the same time is much more fun. But it gets old and boring after a while... anyway I digress.
Cheers from the lane-shifting asshole, I'll come visit the US soon!
P.S. Driving for 9 years, sedans, SUVs, light (13ton) trucks, consistently 10+ over any speed limit, not a single accident, not a single legitimate violation. Only speeding tickets which are, let's face it, just a convenient tax.
Indeed too sad... As a matter of fact it was slashdot where I found about the open day in the first place. Since I can not vote for some reason (probably my account is too new) I will list the winning answers so far:
I appreciate each and every single one of you, exactly the stuff I wanted to hear! As far as the sad part - I might have missed a few comments, but even if we assume there were 10 serious ones, that's close to -11dB SNR at 120 comments and counting (taking the power of every comment to be equal). Shame on you geeks!

You mean like this?
Neat. End to end connectivity for all. DNS is updated by clients. For a home setting - bliss. For any size office lan - your worst nightmare.
Whoa! So everyone everywhere will support encryption in less than a year?!

I for one have no python installed on all my Debian/Testing servers, nor on my Debian/Sid workstation. Nothing seems to break.
