I consider Arduino a microcontroller and would use it for robotics, cheesy DSP and other real-time tasks. Raspberry Pi on the other hand runs Linux and should be good for general computing type tasks which the Arduino isn't capable of. I wouldn't say either is really better, but I think you could definitely write a longer feature list for Raspberry Pi.
The exemption for fruit juice is interesting (and IMO wrong), because juices still have a huge fructose content. Quick search shows around 30g of sugar per 8oz for 100% Juice (a couple different types) and Coca Cola.
So if the 28% he paid was actually paid by his employer and the employer (a corporation) raises prices to pay for it so that the consumers ultimately pay for it with the money they get from their employers who raise prices to pay for it and so on... I have no point, just a circle I found.
It appears that in 45 states in the U.S. the mercury saved by not burning that much extra electricity's worth of coal offsets the mercury content in CFLs, even if they are all broken to bits. http://nearwalden.com/blog/2011/08/averages-cfls-and-mercury/
Dan Pink in a lecture that I think was reused for a TED talk discusses the pay for performance problem. I'm sure the citations can be found.

G620 was released a year after I bought that i5. To be honest though, I didn't look at Pentiums at all. If it had HD graphics and would handle HDMI, then I suppose I should have looked!
I want to add home theater PCs to the list of good uses of integrated graphics. My current HTPC has a 1.5 year old Core i5, whatever the cheapest I could get at the time, and it handles 1080p with audio resampling out over HDMI with no problem. Flash is no problem either. Not having to have the discrete graphics card is a huge benefit that allows me to use slim cases for a set-top box feel.
If you don't understand the difficulty of getting a large amount of rolloff with an analog filter in the space between say a nominal passband width of 20kHz and a Nyquist frequency of 24kHz (for 48kHz sampling), maybe you need to revisit your basic EE course.
As another critic of the GP points out, they discuss recording at higher sampling frequencies in the article section "Oversampling", and they give the same reasoning for it that the GP does. TFA goes further to say that once you've recorded at that rate, you can digitally implement the anti-aliasing filter that allows you to drop the sampling rate to 48kHz without any aliasing, and still keeping sound up around the 20kHz range.
Depending on the plant, when consumption is low during the night, there may have to be some power dissipators on site to keep the power plant load up at some minimum for it to keep regulation. Any method that uses that extra base power at night that isn't just wasted as heat would be a good thing.
Storage is the most obvious solution and batteries aren't the only way to store energy. Pumping water up into a tower, heating some tank of well insulated molten salt (for using the heat later), or in this case potentially aiding in the conversion of waste to fuel.
I think "hippie demonstrations" and posting online are part of that "help make others aware" bit in number 2. But since you then follow up with that 1 and 2 don't change anything anyway, I guess the thesis still stands.
If someone were looking for a registrar, how would we look for one to be a 1&1 incarnation? Is there a list or do they just have a common interface or something?
While I want campaign finance reform, it's been pointed out to me that it will likely be infeasible to give everyone who signs up money from the get go, so there has to be some process to prove one is a viable candidate. If that means getting some signatures or something like that, a candidate must already be able to coordinate volunteers (with paid staff, I imagine), so there's already one point where having someone invest in a candidate can give them an advantage. Plus, the parties already have this infrastructure in place, so the Dems and Repubs are already ahead. We need some finance reform, I just don't know what that full picture looks like yet.
It also doesn't completely remove the profit motive, like you said. Politicians can still help land contracts enact favorable regulations, or dismiss unfavorable ones, and then find themselves landing in a cushy job in those industries they gave so much to. This would say maybe you don't want politicians leaving office to indulge in some post term conflict of interest, but I don't think there are a lot of people that believe in keeping our current politicians around that long. It's kind of tricky:[
Maybe too late for consumer use, but I can see companies that wouldn't want to put their information in the cloud using them for backup. If their shelf life is longer than other optical media it may also be put to good use for archival in libraries and musuems.
In engineering I find sometimes it's easiest to work in Excel, because people want to see their inputs and outputs all on the same page. No matter how much I hate working in Excel VBA macros and no matter how much I'd rather write it in C or Perl or anything else, Excel is the easiest way to make something easy for other people to work with and understand at the basic level. If I write it in anything else, I am completely alone in understanding it.
LED backlit LCDs are not cheaper than plasmas. They still cost almost 50% more. This is comparing a top of the line Panasonic plasma to a top of the line Sony LCD.

Don't forget there was the Jewish kid playing meatspin on his iPad in the barracks.

Hope you weren't using thermite on the sub, sounds dangerous.

He wants the malware, why have all those cores if you're not going to peg them?
Those two requirements don't exactly strike me as "basic".
= a highly polished solar array! How clever of them.
Some cyclists will put the magnet in their shoe and report good results if they put that foot down to steady themselves after a stop.

In any case, why is "the US President acted only in the interests of the US" a bad thing? At worst, it's a neutral thing.
Unless it comes at the expense of other countries' interests which then puts it way south of neutral in the international community's eyes.
