Cloud computing and remote storage are not necessarily the same.
What we see here is a small device storing it's data remotely and I wonder why.
Considering how cheap a couple of GB of memory are and how precious wireless bandwidth is this can mean only one thing, having and thus exploiting that data is worth more than the cost of the bandwidth.
I see your predicament not being able to affort an account here,
But then from your statement I feel you wouldn't be much af an addition to the discussions.
As much as I disapprove of the church of Rome I have to admire the previous pope for one of his remarks; "You can't trust a priest who doesn't appreciate good looks on a woman".
The 30 Amp is probably correct, this was build in the days of 240 Volt supply.
You are right with your observation of short term solutions, I'm still amazed by the water heaters without insulation, someone made good money selling after market jackets:).
The worst I've seen in a UK installation was two wires in parallel, theoretically enough copper but in reality one of them will carry more current than designed for and thus overheat.
I know about the discussions about possible side effects of the flu jabs.
But I will accept the common wisdom that you can vaccinate against flu, this added to the for me credible reports this flu is nastier than usual I understand the rule given by this hospital.
Because when this breaks out in earnest they'll need all their personnel and some.
Although the UK allows rather unusual wiring for high Amperage circuits (the reason you have fused plugs) I doubt this heater runs on a 32 Amp fuse.
Here in The Netherlands these heaters have never been popular, natural gas is half the price, but those that I've seen were always 3-phase.
Because a heating element doesn't really have an increased start current like an electrical motor which would cause a flicker unless you mean a semi-permanent dimming of the lights when you're running your shower.
In the latter's case there might be a bad connection and they get hot and can cause a fire, especially at these currents.
So stick a Volt meter in a socket and check! (IAAE)
The US might not be the worst of surveillance nations compared to the amount and depth of surveillance in some other places.
But I find the US none the less more scary for the ways they back up this surveillance.
As a single example, can you name a single western style democratic country where the government can legally set up and maintain something like Gitmo?
And the lack of recourse, for example no or hardly no limits on the retention of data or (well communicated) ways to be informed about what agencies store about you and how to appeal.
Or the way pieces of sensitive legislation are sneaked through by tacking it to big non related bills.
Don't get me wrong, I really like many aspects of the US but when it comes to perceived security risks it's still exhibiting 'Old West' policies of 'shoot first, talk later'.
Microsoft coercing of OEM's is one of the main reasons IE has the market share it has, in this day and age very few people have the necessary skills (or courage) to install another browser.
In the days of Netscape the average computer user was much closer to the system than we see today, and he was rewarded because the next generation browser had genuine improvements.
It is quite scary to hear how today's computer users don't see or comprehend a difference between an application and it's purpose.
IE is the internet, Outlook is mail.
I recently removed IE 8 from a computer that had ground to a crawl because of it and installed Firefox instead.
Initially the owner of the computer was absolutely convinced I had removed The Internet from his machine.

The good ones never leave their screen.
It's the slackers that take the time to meet up with the girls..
there was a lot of music recorded prior to 1959, but afaik none before 1909.
Duh!
There is a lot older recording:

OK, that's really odd but this was mainstream:

But for the price it's a damn good start!
Just like some expecting women to cover up because Muslim men can't control themselves.
Never!
(It will require a vector graphics editor like Inkscape)
For classifying Playboy as porn, WWE as sport and WWE Divas not as porn.
;)
btw, nice rant

Boycot 7-Eleven for not carrying all Playboy issues.
About it running on XP, cheer up it could have been Vista...

That'll be safe as soon as my patent application to this new cloud has been filed.

Whereby the underlying question needs to: "Hopefully it's not replaced by a Microsoft 'solution'".
And you didn't have to wait for the magical Patch Day for Ubuntu to share them with you.
Admittedly the downside is you may have to redeploy some of your existing support staff, and this will tend to reduce IT's budget...

For all purposes Windows is the only pre-installed OS.
To continue my observations of today's users, a computer is Windows.
There's only a very thin upper layer of users that understand the bits that make up a computer and the interactions they have.
Even the concept that a computer is still a computer when it comes without an OS is remote to most. (Is that possible?)
Which tells me there is an unusual number of Latino users among the 10K.

Is that how they plan to advance interoperability without hindrance?
Yet it might take a few cases before the various retailers and software houses see the light.
I once tried to post a comment to an obviously biased fox news column
If I've ever seen a pleonasm in a pleonasm:)
Yeah, you mean it's not as if they're (the retailer) making money on that product.
