The temperature difference also improves the efficiency for energy reclamation systems. Whether you end up mimicking geothermal on a small scale, or put turbines in exhaust stacks, the sustained savings over the lifetime of the DC should be considerable.
Not firearm free zones, unenforced firearm free zones. Federal courts, prisons, any place there are people our government spends money to specifically protect, these places are free of gun violence.
I don't actually think that we should be banning guns and searching people routinely, but your argument is incomplete.
I, too, thought of the death tolls of "bush wars." Something, perhaps a "TED Talk," about how modern violence is less deadly than the tribal and bush wars that were prevalent before the advent of the nation-state. Who knows?
We do have a [highly controversial|completely uncontroversial] nuclear power plant. That seems like a bit of a long shot, though.
Perhaps it's all about targeting states which are seen as highly rural and not tech-savvy. If this is the case, then our own Gov. Douglas has failed in his mission to make Vermont the first e-State.

Unless they're giving it away for free, I'm not interested in Yet Another WindowsNetbook until they can make it do something other than webmail. My baseline is Hulu HD. Anything less is a PDA.
What are the obstacles to building in a simple tracking system to more applications? I routinely check to box, even for Microsoft products, that provides feedback about crashes, or which packages are most popular, or what ever usage statistics developers are collecting.
I guess it would have to:
be opt-in. clearly, and demonstrably NOT collect personally identifying info. have very little impact on resources and performance. collect the right info.
I'm sure there's a lot of stuff I'm missing, and I really have no idea how to deliver any of it; all the same, it seems like something that would be quite beneficial, and easy to present as such.
My adopted greyhound, who spent five years with exposure only to humans and other greyhounds didn't know dogs when we first got her. Dog sized dogs, she could figure them out. Cat sized dogs? Terrified her. They were abominations, more horrifying than aggressive small children or jake brakes. After a year in the outside, she is much better, but she does treat small dogs differently. Even the occasional non-small dogish small dog is approached with more caution and abandoned more quickly that dog even half her size ( she is ~70lbs).
I used to have a similar ability/disability. In college, I impressed friends with my directional ability, but would have to leave the mall and walk all the way around it to find where I was supposed to meet them.
I spent a huge chunk of my childhood walking in the woods and on back country roads. I still have an overconfidence while outside. Since I'm in Vermont, I basically know that as long as I go downhill, I'll reach a safe place. I sure hope I don't make that mistake in Southern California, or Israel, or any place which might require walking for more than four days to reach other humans.

If you built houses and bought a DeWalt, you'd be a fool. Makita is a far superior product, with better support.
GP was posting about an active Jammer.

Why do you think that all mass shootings in recent memory have happened in "firearm free" zones?

Fixed that for you. ivan

I've never tried to play a blank CD-R, but surely, information denoting silence is different than zero information.
they're in it for the pain.
or you could rainman the date, and figure that Friday April 24, is probably in 2009, rather than ...
1959? ... ish?
anyway, I think you see my point
The Thirteenth Floor.
Here's an experiment Hollywood does every year:
make the same movie twice, then see which version the public loves.
It came out at the same time as the Matrix, but was a lot more interesting, but with fewer really awesome fights.
What ever happened to:
When you have the facts on your side, pound on your chest.
When you have the law on your side, pound on anyone you please.
When you have neither on your side, pound a fifth.
I actually think it looks better than most macs. but I'm not in the market for any notebooks right now, never mind a two grand status symbol.
