    The name of the town Fucking means nothing in particular in the local language. It is as innocent as Canterbury or Birmingham.

    There is a brewery in Fucking. One of their beers is a lager with bright yellow color which they call "Bright" which in German Language is "Hell".
    On the label it says: Fucking Hell
    That's all there is to it.
    Export business is brisk.

    I think parent's suggestion goes in the right direction. Unfortunately, many users are unable to specify what they want or in this particular case realize there could be a wealth of data to be gathered from the box that switches taps on and off.
    Irrigation uses water that costs money, right? Why not provide some graphs that show how and when the bucks are being spent. This could later be correlated to the growth results of whatever weeds you are growing. Maybe overlaying precipitation data might also be interesting.

  15. Re:Bad Idea on Unique Broadband Over Powerline Project Planned For Mosques · · Score: 2, Informative

    BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) can actually be a brilliant idea.

    There are 2 different concepts:
    1) Using high voltage long distance lines
    2) Using household voltage lines and distances

    The first approach has been pretty much abandoned. The second is very much alive and competing fiercely with Wi-Fi.
    There are 2 competing camps, one being HomePlug and the other using chips from a Spanish company, ES2.
    I have conducted trials with HomePlug AV in a marina. The claim is 200Mbps but you won't even get this when you plug 2 of those adapters side by side on an extension cord.
    A more realistic assumption is around 50 Mbps. I have actally tested this in a marina over a distance of 120 meters and measured 58 Mbps rock solid stable.
    So far I've bought about 40 units.
