Wouldn't it make more sense to capture the solar energy outside via panels on an awning or roof, before it gets inside the building and generates heat? I doubt that these things could produce anything worthwhile if not exposed to direct sunlight.
The fact that the price of a commodity increases when it's in short supply doesn't cure the shortage or make it less of a problem; it merely allocates what supplies remain to those who are willing to pay the most. It's a manifestation of the shortage, not an explanation of it.
AND it makes profitable other means of making the commodity, like mining landfills as others have mentioned. Also cheaper substitutes are found by some users.
He makes the claim in the comments about the article that "well who just watches dvds? You have to keep the system busy and test that!" That's about as valid as setting the machine not to sleep and seeing how long it can idle there.
I run disk benchmarks all day, you insensitive clod!
The word average can refer to mean, median or mode. While the media, and as a result most people with average math skills (or less), often talk/write as though the only definition of the word average is mean, all three are correct
Which average are you referring to when you mention math skills: mean, median, or mode?
"Unleaded" gasoline. When unleaded gasoline came on the market, it cost more than leaded, even though lead was an additive. But the refineries acted like it was some new process to "remove" lead.
The cost of something isn't just production; it's also affected by demand and one-time costs of ramping up production. By the above logic, I should be able to get milk in the store without vitamin D added (but otherwise just the same product) for cheaper, or orange juice concentrate in an 11.5 oz container for less than the 12 oz container.
Or make it look like unencrypted HTTP traffic. Yes, that would greatly expand the data, so it could be made to look like a typical MySpace page or bloated CSS file.
The system allows for personal privacy because data (blocks) being transferred from peer to peer do not bear any relation to the original data. Incidentally, no data passing through the network can be considered copyrighted because the means by which it is represented is truly random.
Wow, I can implement that in a one-liner: int getbyte( string filename, int offset ) { return rand() & 0xFF; }
Engineers are pretty much replaceable cogs in software development. It's the people who have real world needs that require real world solutions that bring these things into existence.
That's what I've been telling mom for years about me living in the basement. Think of all the innovations we'd lose if I moved out!

Netgear doesn't make money on firmware. They make money selling routers. So if this sells more routers, then fine.
What about companies that sell two versions of the same hardware, charging more for the one with uncrippled software? They hate for people to be able to put software sometimes better than even the uncrippled software on them.
Obviously your brain knew the information before you heard it!
But seriously, this is just another stupid study. Obviously over-thinking is worse, the same way as thinking too much; it's all in the definition of those words.
My basic point was that with digital data, volume becomes a non-issue. So people carry around all their digital data on a laptop, something impossible with physical possessions (someone else on Slashdot mentioned this), so they're able to search all your digital data, unlike other physical things where you leave most at home. And my point about copying was that you can pretty much bet they keep a copy of all the things they search, which I doubt they do for physical objects. So again, letting them search your laptop is like letting them go through your home and go through everything, taking photos of it all, and keeping them forever, since they do it so cheaply with digital data.
Your point is the best, since the point of physical searches is to find physical substances which could pose a danger, since across the border is one of the few ways of getting it in. Information can be brought into the country through many other paths, and usually more securey/anonymously as well.

Great, now you tell me!
You must be new here. Not totally new, since you have the "make statements by asking questions" rhetoric down already.

A letter was left off. His real name is HAL, and all error messages become "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

The billing department (RIAA) just takes a while to contact you for payment, so you have time to raise the $THOUSANDS you'll pay.

Incompatibility? OS X 10.4 supports OS 9 apps (hell, even System 7 and even some System 6 apps, including those compiled for the 68K processor).

There, fixed that for you.
You're my hero.

Reference please? This sounds too silly to be true!

I think this qualifies as suspicious activity on the part of the government. How do I start an investigation of it?
They could have tried cube-based objects like those depicted in this artist's conception.
I think my joke was lost. The idea was to allow sites like 192.168.1.256, which only a geek would find novelty in.
Just don't start the War on Aging, because in America that would really mean the war on those that are aging.
How about the .256 domain for geek sites?
