Well, once you move water heating to a solar heater or gas heater and if you live in an area without need for Air conditioning, 2kW is much more then enough my home uses less than 1kW after excluding AC and water heating
WIll I have to press 5 cryptic keys just to save and close my file with this one? vi makes me press [esc]:wq (2 keys for:)
Word OTOH lets me press + then enter, so 3 keys
Maybe like a banner ad that loads from a 3rd party server like ads currently load from advertising networks? I'm hoping the blackout will have to be done manually though
Powered off from the wall Hardware is nothing special, just the cheapest Samsung that was available and the other is the cheapest Sony with DivX support that was available But as someone else pointed out, could be because they are DVD only and not Blueray
Last time I checked, my DVD player did not take 45 seconds to boot up, its instantaneous: just like a TV or VCR detecting the disk takes only 2-3 seconds (Have both Samsung and Sony players)
I guess people will know which ISPs they can drop.
Not really, most of the country is a monopoly, some parts a duopoly. very few areas have more than 2 providers (excluding high speed wireless which is prohibitively expensive for anything other than browsing)
The block is being implemented by Reliance because it is releasing a movie on Friday Think of it this way: If Warner Brothers had an ISP as well, and they blocked filesharing sites for 2-3 days before and after a movie is released by them, and they blame it on the govt. since the govt. gave them the permission to do so
Installing Ubuntu for general use takes about 20 minutes The countless frustrating hours spent trying to imagine how a document should look, and how it does look are a different story
OTOH I wouldnt mind selecting and paying only for features that I use Think of it this way: A Windows 8 DVD shipped at a nominal cost or freely/low cost downloadable Contains only the bare minimal OS You can then pay for the stuff you want Want Metro, pay for it Want the games (Minesweeper,etc)? pay for them,etc.. During installation you just select the stuff you want and pay via a credit card accordingly

You get the manufacturing industries back from China?

Tie it to an account, like with Valve games on PC
At the end, isnt it just a game of who is closer in terms of network distance to the servers hosting the game?

If tech becomes significantly better, the next ship can just pick up the people in this ship on the way
What if you have cameras and motion analysis software tracking the entire game?

Increased import, and the 15% is over and above current savings

Reliance, they arent really buddies AFAIK, but Reliance is a movie producer, so...
Usually the block is on IP basis and not DNS level
I cant say about the current one since my ISP hasnt implemented it
The block is being implemented by Reliance because it is releasing a movie on Friday
Think of it this way: If Warner Brothers had an ISP as well, and they blocked filesharing sites for 2-3 days before and after a movie is released by them, and they blame it on the govt. since the govt. gave them the permission to do so
The block is being done by Reliance on Reliance connections because a major movie released by Reliance is being released
yeah, clean install, everything on auto, no special settings .
Installing Ubuntu for general use takes about 20 minutes
The countless frustrating hours spent trying to imagine how a document should look, and how it does look are a different story
Well, it could be the other way around also, Metro being the base interface and Desktop coming as a paid addon
OTOH I wouldnt mind selecting and paying only for features that I use

Contains only the bare minimal OS

Want Metro, pay for it

Considering that their eBook reader runs a version of it...
When/How did installing Ubuntu become a crime?
