I agree totally. If it's going to be trusted then I have to trust it and I sure as shit won't be trusting anything just because some supposedly trustworthy trustee markets it as a trustable trusted computing platform. Grammar Nazis invited.
Personally (and I expect to be labeled a conspiracist nutjob/troll/bad member of society), I wouldn't trust any form of encryption that comes prepackaged with my Windows or Mac-OS. A lot of 'exploits' being found seem to allow the exploiter uninhibited access to your data in some very difficult to monitor ways. Win-XP is my current OS and I currently don't run Linux so there is no fanboiism going on. There is NO WAY to keep data 100% safe from someone determined to have it.
I should have included a caveat about living in a solar friendly environment. 115F is 46C - it get's that hot here and believe me it sucks. We will get weeks of over 40C in summer. Although this year the weather has been completely fscked up/strange. I suspect that baseball sized hail would badly damage/destroy our panels. I have been toying with the idea of putting some old garage roll-a-doors in place so that the panels could be covered in an extreme event.
Don't take this the wrong way as I am not attacking your engineering skills but(OMG here's the but) to home build an inverter like ours would be quite a feat and if you could pull it off you are a talented person. Here is a link to the inverter manual if you are interested in seeing what the unit itself does/manages.
The Chinese don't think in short term business cycles. They plan for the long term. So while it may not be cheaper at this point in time to import the stuff it certainly makes good sense. When they have used up everyone elses 'cheaply' then they can dig up their own. And make no mistakes here - they may not have started to dig any of it up but they sure as I shit know where the majority of their resources are located.
We live completely off the grid. Solar powered with diesel backup and gel battery storage. The system has been running for eight years and the generator has run a total of 900 hours over that time (mostly just monthly/weekly battery maintenance cycles). We have an array of 24 2V 600mah Sonnenschein batteries and not one of them has shown any measurable variation in performance over eight years. We are still some time from break even(BE) on initial investment but as I watch supplied energy costs rising BE gets closer daily. Although, if we take into account the initial government subsidy received on purchase BE on our personal outlay is only a few years away.
IMHO people holding off due to cost of initial investment, BE being a long wait, etcetera are doing themselves a disservice. Once BE becomes the major dot point of the sales pitch then the queues will be long, unobtainium rarer and more expensive, no more government subsidies, and increased sales taxes on alternate energy systems will be required to help bail out those poor bottom line affected and suffering power companies.
If you believe someone can become a suicide terrorist without religion, then you really don't understand people... or religion.
So how does the above comment get modded +5 Insightful? Just the snippet above should have had it modded to the bit bucket as typical anti-religious bullshit. The Tamil Tigers pioneered the suicide vest in a nationalist struggle. A lot of nationalist suicide attacks are painted as religious extremism as western opinion is easily manipulated this way.
And No I do not have a belief in any particular deity/deities at all.

If it wasn't for Mr Gronk Conditioner inventing his amazing device tens of thousands of years ago then this area would have been completely depopulated and no wars would be necessary at all.
It must be this precise, because the President's table needs to be as big as possible, but still fit through one particularly tight corner at the White House.
Not when your this far up the food chain. The President gets the table size he wants and if the front of the White House has to be removed to fit it in then we might as well remodel/rebuild the whole bloody thing because that is what economic stimulus is all about.
North Korea government murders so many peoples every day that this just isn't funny.
And your reference for this is? I am not sticking up for the DPRK but I am sick of hearing about how evil a country is as the severity of the evil seems to vary depending on news cycles, political ambition, sunspots, and.....

I do not think it's appropriate to make purely inflammatory accusations based on nothing but what's in your mind.
But /. is so much cheaper than a therapist

Yours is one of the few rational, moderate posts in this discussion. Thank you.
I didn't know they were allowed at all
