umm it goes into 'work'. If it uses 100 watts, it will do 100 watts of 'work' not heat. Heat is wast energy most of the time. My 40 watt halogen bulbs produce much more heat then my 40 watt CFL. I can hold my 40 watt CFL in my hand when it is on, I cant touch my 40 watt Halogen for ages after it is tuned off.
And before you jump up and down and go on about how my 40 watt CFL really uses only 5 watts, im not talking about some piss little house light, im talking about the $40 CFL spot lights you can buy, that put out about the 500 watts of light.
Lets pull out two real important facts that are used to bash this global cooling myth from that link.
That the global data from the 1940s-70's was new, and not accurate enough to be trusted.
That extrapolating a 50 year trend was not a good idea.
Same two issues are still alive and well today for global warming.
Man made or not, the climate has lived though a lot worse then we currently are in, do we want to push our luck before we know one way or another? my vote, hell no, we could be the 1c that dose push it over the edge, but all the global warming ppl need to get on the historical graphs that look past the current mini ice age and educate ppl that the current warming trend may be lasting longer and peeking longer then it should.
it looks like they want all data up, the only data not collected is names and addresses, you can use any of the questions to define your sets.
"DDI and SDMX are good at describing things, and we're testing the very notion that you can actually consume this stuff and make it discoverable metadata for your search engines."
"We definitely want to see who's keen, who's interested in statistics and metadata, open data, data linking and what people can do with it as well."
Sad, isn't it? That the majority of the voting populous is working for the one thing that seeks to control them and one of the things this country was founded against...
Being the largest employer does not mean you employ the majority of the populace.
That statement is only always true if number of employers > 2, with the way the world is going, wont be long before we end up with "megacorp" and Government as the only legal employers
Just like any effect, you are applying art to art, and thus you get a) What you par for and b) Subjective output.
HDR Is not a magic 'make it more real' nore is it a 'fix for bad photos', some exampels will look like a normal photo, others will look like a fluro water colour, its what the 'artist' chose to make.
From the second linked artical "It's very hard to take seriously a government which suddenly pulls yet another technological rabbit out of a hat just because it's under enormous pressure in the closing stages of an election campaign," the Liberal leader told reporters in western Sydney.
"This idea that 'hey presto' we are suddenly going to get 10 times the speed from something that isn't even built yet I find utterly implausible."
Because for the 95% of the time you are not in overload, the system is much more efficient.
You will be losing on the pumping of the water, losing on the storring of it (Evaporation) and losing again on converting it back (it doesn't leave the turbines with 0% kinetic energy). That is major loss, you should only use lake storage as a last resort. Maybe the better option would be to install a link to an area that would not also be experiencing high winds, over hear in.au we often link between state grids, so that if there is a surplus it can be on-sold to a region with a deficit.

phiffle, lets get some real results, who cares about 9000 hotter years, when you can get a good 500 million ones.

That is where this comes in handy, or any of the other linking long term graphs.

Its been getting colder for a long time now!

That would be so true, if you know money was a use once resource, but you know it doesn't vanish into thin air once it is used.
My brother just turned 30 before Xmas, it snowed for the second time in his life that I've herd of around Xmas in this country.
could it be local warming?

We have the 2nd coldest peek for temp. in the last 500k years, but one of the longest running.

Its been pretty cold for the last 3 million years.

Sounds like shitty implantation, never seen one of those in a major company before.
Your IT department needs an ass kicking
Thick client + network down = pissed off users and employees who can at lest still play solitaire.
Solution? Give a free deck of cards with every think client.
The money burnt every year on 'sports' (grown men playing with a ball. If you can call that a sport.).
Could fix the planet several times over.
Truth. And yet since i have expressed a view that isn't YAY FOOTBALL! This will be modded so far down it will vanish into a black hole.
Indeed, but sports is after all a substitution for war.
Is it just me, or dose it seem the curve for the prediction coming out, shows a faster return then the fall coming in?
A longer lower end may be followed by a slow return too.

75% of a person!
the Y is a Y because its an X missing a bit, and when creating a person the missing it on the Y just defaults to the bit on the X
Because as well all know, the turn around on any new R&D is 1-3 months tops, nothing is ever the fruition of 5-10years R&D.
Dude, its more like if apple went back to the parallel port and removed the USB.
WTF? Can you economically bring a gas station to each home??
High voltage power lines cross all over the country.
Starting at 115kV and going upto 500kV..
