Investment banking is less and less about investment which is good for the economy, and more and more about arbitrage and pumping transactions to make a fee, which siphons capitol off from actual investments.
Here is the things in my house that use AC with no DC conversion: Fridge, Oven, Toaster Oven, Oil Heater (fan and such), Light bulbs, Hot water heater, Air Compresser, Mini Milling Machine.
Here are the things in my house that use DC internally. Stereos (x5), Printers (x2), Computers (x8), Cell Phones (x3), Cordless Phones (x3), NAS, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, Wii remote chargers, PS3 controller chargers, HD DVD, Camera chargers (x4), Rechargeable battery charger, alarm clock, network switches (x2), wireless access points (x3), AP UPSes (x3).
AC is much easier to transport. DC resistance in the AC world is impedance. As impedance is complex, If you choose the correct frequency and voltage, you can move power very very far distances with extremely little loss. You cant do that with DC.
Also, when houses were getting power, all they had was lights, and motors, all of which run fine on AC.
When electronics started to come out, a house only had a handful, TV, Radio, that was it.
Now, I would say that a significant part of consumption is DC at a home, but there is no standard in the house for a parallel DC infrastructure. Would you do -48V like the phone companies? 12V? How would the in wall wiring work?
A very large cable operator has been making progress converting all its systems to DC. Right now its kinda ugly, with AC main power, AC generators, AC UPSes, lots of AC computers and network gear. Then there is the DC plant with the DC battery stack, and more and more DC computers and network gear.
DC in the data center makes sense, as if your AC, every system needs a power supply. Every power supply is inefficient. The generate heat, and use up more power then the computer needs.
Well considering the machines have never been looked at by the FDA or any other agency, or any other independent of side review, how do you know they are looking for the right thing in their scheduled maintenance?
Their example of "appear to be many times less than what the agency says a person absorbs through one day of natural background radiation." is a bad one.
The force of a bullet hitting a person is the same as that of the stock hitting the shoulder of the shooter. I'd rather be on the shooter's end.
Just because the amount of radiation is the same (or less) it doesn't mean its the same type. The scanners concentrate that radiation at one frequency, not over a broad spectrum. That frequency is absorbed not by the whole body, but by the first few millimeters of flest. That means that bit of flesh is getting thousands of times higher levels of exposure then that of the whole body mass exposure of back ground radiation.
"Maybe they should start looking at all the wasted funds that are sent to the Federals each and every day"
States dont send money to the federal government, they receive an inordanant amount from the federal government. Budget bill passed in the house, if it goes through, which it will not, will devastate State budgets.
The only evidence of an actual death threat comes from the "security expert" who had his ass handed to him by a bunch of amateurs. He needed some kind of excuse to keep his embarrassed ass at home.
Yea, and at-least 2 of them were shutdown by windows crashes and were dead in the water, need a tow all the way back to port. The smart ship program started with an unix bases system until MS hired a retired admiral to loby for it.
Sony has been suing every one who puts the key on the internet. They key is the master key to the PS3 that has resulted in completely making its DRM system uselss.
Google created search terms for sites and terms that do not exist on the internet. The only place they do exist is in google's own search engine. How could Bing generate a response if it was't hitting up Google for their response?
Slashdot Mirror
How about the ultimate in free tools, Python, Pearl, PHP.
The USA has courts, due process, and checks and balances. The middle east, not so much.
I'm a consultant in telecom. I see this every day. I'm convinced that any project, no matter how big can be done by 6 people.
Not just missiles, but sub navigation too.
nevermind what you are trying to mine is a billion fucking degrees.
Well, some people have the same name. You dont want to justify not paying a claim to the same person twice would you?

Oh no! The Iranians have discovered RC helicopter technology!
B2 and Tomahawk strikes tonight.. Thats my guess.

Maybe i could use it to power my lawn mower.
You mean it will do what google voice has been doing for years?
More people are taking about the act then the ex-senator.. I think that goolge returns the correct result.
I'd rather have a Dr or Nurse oversee my doses of radiation then an undertrained cop school dropout.
So the sites were not blocked?

Yea, why would legislators want to be able to access what ever information they want on the internet?
