I liked the part from this page you mentioned that states, "...including the U.S. Department of Energy's announcement that refrigerators produced in 2001 will use 30% less electricity than those on the market today."
It would appear as though this is not only an exteremely efficent heat pump, but a time travel machine too. Can't wait for them to make their IPO!! Wait, maybe they already did, then decided it was a bad idea and went back and kept it from happening. I think they have some tall Austrian dude working for them that has a thick accent and is really just a machine under his skin....he also uses big guns and yells one word phrases to people. Wait, that must have been another time travel company.
Thank you for this perspective. I really appreciate it.
I feel that too many people do not realize what it means to be active and help another person in reality. In America, I think many of us are so focused on our own life, that we forget how precious life is when it is taken from someone we know and care about. Getting involved in helping other people (ie: doing something tangible) is vital.
yeah, but, you being a techie, you would pick up both...not that you would keep the p2 400 chip, but you would pick it up in a despirate attempt to figure out why there was a p2 400 chip on the side of the street corner.:)
I agree. Something else I would like to point out is that more and more Windows sysadmins are now in the habbit of using the windowsupdate.microsoft.com facility. Granted, however, that many MS bugs may still take a while to be fixed, but with services such as "Automatic Updates" in 2000/XP, I forsee that MS has actually addressed the whole patching issue quite well.
Of course, from the sysadmin's perspective, the "automatic updates" feature can be a real headache when MS releases a patch and breaks compability with third-party software. (Such as a big healthcare suite I am required to run on some 2k servers.)
All in all, MS is headed the right [general] direction where "dumb" sysadmins can still keep their boxen patched....without even knowing it.
The coolest part of this one is the fact it has a touch screen just like we have come to expect for pda's. And, I have a friend that is running debian on one without any trouble.
Car batteries are designed to deliver about 3400 amps directly into the alternator of a car, only during the time that you turn the key.

get a 1200 dpi, laser quality solid ink printer, that is free black for the lifetime of the printer and cheap color...what about ethernet port standard? duplex printing somes standard? Did I mention 10 pages per minute at full 1200dpi and 10pages per minute at 600dpi.
We have one of these at work. I am strongly considering one of these for my personal use at home. You would be able to pay for one of these in under a year with the kind of use you are describing.
btw, I have a couple of them left I purchased just before the sale was suspended from thinkgeek. I have these for sale. send me an email and we will talk.:)
The point is that some bacteria are good! When you use antibacterial soap, you are killing the good bacteria that live in your skin as well as the "evil" ones. Basically what this means is that some "evil" could grow back more quickly as the "good" ones are keeping them in check normally.
Just FYI, I use normal hand soap most of the time, but when I get sliced on a pc case or get a cut, I will clean the specific area with antibacterial soap and proceed to use neosporin to keep all bacteria out of the wound until healed...covered with a cloth band-aid.
Yes, but people aren't being killed due to software neglience. We really do NOT want liability. Do you really want another department in the Fed. Govn. to handle these issues!?
I would rather the end-user (or corportation) be held responsible. If enough people don't like outlook/MS-ware, better products will be released.
it would be enough to bust anyone who was selling firmware upgrades for a Mustang and put them out of business for good.
<RANT>
Put who out of business!? The car companies? This is stupid. They are not giving away cars like the cuecat was given away, nor are they selling or offering the "firmware" updates. My personal feeling is that the car companies have it right. You purchase the hardware...you don't license it. After it is yours, you can cut it up into little pieces and send each little screw as stocking stuffers to all your family all around the world. You could then, at the next family reunion, put the car back together. The car companies don't care. (It would make news sites such as slashdot.) But, the point is the car companies already made their profit.
As for the safety point of view: once again, the car companies do not care. There have been thousands of cars chopped to pieces to be something they weren't originally. Think hotrods, think limo's, think tree-hugging hippies that covert their cars to electric. Sometimes the car companies use it as free advertising. Again, they aren't licensing the car, they sold the car. Once people start to modify the car, the car companies are no longer responsible. (ie: with some cars, you can't even take the car to have minor service performed by any company other than the dealer without voiding the warranty and causing a "hands off" condition by the car manufacturer.) The car companies are only responsibile for the original products safety...not ensuring that it can't be "hacked."
I have used the smoke from incense sticks (purchased at walmart) to verify air movement within a sound enclosure that holds 3 computers in my room that I built.
Alright. Please provide a link then to back up your statement. Have you considered the cost of solar panels themselves, the regulation circuity to provide a clean steady voltage, etc?
A friend of mine received a very nicely setup one that would take the user/pass and forward him to the real site the place prompting for his user/pass was _exactly_ the same look/feel as paypal, AND everything worked. The interesting part was how they got him there. They searched recent ebay transactions for email addresses of people who purchased with paypal. They then sent him an email saying something to the effect of, "You have violated the terms of the paypal agreement. Sign in within the next X days to view the details of the violation, or your account will be deactivated." They provided a link.
Now that they have your user/pass, they could transfer money to their account(s) and get a large amount of money. AND, since paypal has customer protection insurance, the people they steal from would not be held liable. It would be paypal that would take the hit.
The same can be said of cell phone conversations on the 800Mhz band and DirecTV.
Sure, these signals are coming on my land right up to and into my house. So, can I do whatever I want with them, no. Why, becuase the government in the mid 80's declared that thi sis now a "bad" thing.
Personally, I agree with you. We should be able to do with whatever we want, as long as we are not transmitting. We should be able to stick up a receiver and receive/listen/record anything that we wish that is coming through the electromagnetic spectrum into our own homes/bodies. BUT, the united states government says otherwise.
The only thing that I remember about the Sega consoles were the TV commericals that would end in the word "Sega" said very fast and in a distorted voice.
