LED Lighting and the divers that run them have a significantly larger inrush current than incandescent lighting ( http://ledsmagazine.com/features/9/3/7/EcosystemFig3 ). I'd be more concerned about that than a motor.
This "feature" of LED lighting was not something that was initially taken into account.
This is basically an "open source" version of what http://www.cubby.com/ did in their free beta--but is now a paid part of the service. It was called "DirectSync" ( https://www.cubby.com/features/ ) and didn't use any of the "cloud" part of storage from the service. You can see how it is now part of the paid service here: https://www.cubby.com/pricing/
None of these devices, Google TV or Apple TV, are going to take off unless they offer a simple and effect way for a customer to record a show. This can either be Over The Air or Over The Cable. People WANT this feature because it is ingrained into their thinking.
The ability to On Demand order and watch a show over Broadband still needs widespread adoption and availability. See other posts here about "content."
Without easy PVR functionality, then these devices are just extra devices duplicating my already includes services in my big old stupid DVR/Cable box.
Spaceweather.com is reporting this as subsiding....
SUBSIDING STORM: A severe geomagnetic storm (Kp=7-8) that began yesterday when a CME hit Earth's magnetic field is subsiding. At the peak of the disturbance, auroras were sighted around both poles and in more than five US states including Michigan, New York, South Dakota, Maine, and Minnesota:
Yeah, awesome...then the Taliban bid for it with their opium trade funds and start dropping passive kinetic weapons from space. ooooooohhhhh ahhhhhhh oooooooo
I think the real problem with any of the ideas to move it deeper into space (all of which I'm in favor of, mind you, as I think an orbital station around the Moon, Mars, or Europa would be AWESOME) has to do with radiation shielding and micro-meteoroids.
Similar to the shuttle, which is limited as to how high it can orbit, the ISS would be similarly limited due to radiation and micro-meteoroids. It does not have sufficient shielding from either of these to be placed outside of low earth orbit. Maybe additional shielding could be added, but that would just increase the mass which increased the inertia which increases the energy required to move it out of LEO or one of those other AWESOME locations...
I was just fine with my DVD recorder (yes, recorder). But then my lovely 17" Samsung CRT TV died and I needed a new one. Only option was to get a larger "flat screen" LCD HD TV. That and the lack of connections on the back forced me into a new player, so I opted for an upconverting blue-ray with web aps. I mainly wanted the upconverting and the web apps for Netflix Instant Watch.
Otherwise, I would not have bothered with a blu-ray. DVD works just fine, even on upconverting.
No, you will continued to be serviced by t-mobile folks locked away in some far corner of customerservicelandia.
I used to be an AT&T Wireless customer who was then gobbled up by Cingular who was then gobbled up by AT&T. I was still, however on my old AT&T Wireless account/plan. Every time I would call and talk to someone, they would eventually stop and "Oh, sorry, you're one of those old AT&T Wireless customers. I need to transfer you. And yeah, you're right, I can't offer you a better plan." I'd then be transferred to someone who, oddly, was actually helpful.
Hawking's proposal that black holes destroy information lead to OTHERS developing the Holographic theory. Hawking had nothing to do with the development of the holographic theory, complimentarity, etc...
Yeah, this is impressive, but it will not function properly on an iPod Touch. Google needs to have a way to switch to a different mode of operation that is Touch compatible.
Yeah, I could use the Skype App....but then I'd have to pay.
Slashdot Mirror
I signed up for that a while ago. I waited for my reservation to activate.
I turned fired up the app. I linked a Gmail account (only service they currently work with).
I toyed with it for a day. I found it unimpressive, unintuitive, limited, and not useful.
I unlinked my account.
App removed. I fail to see the value in it.
Pfffft.
That was Putin skydiving from space.
Shirtless, because he's Putin.

I would expect any number of other providers are looking at this for a paid service. High end versions would include Globalscape's WAFS ( http://www.globalscape.com/wafs/ ) and File Replication Pro ( http://www.filereplicationpro.com/ ).
Free with good encryption is a great idea IMO. I for one would use it.
Nazis on Mars...I mean, they made it to the Moon!
Yup. I'd agree with your comments. But you're clearly a trendsetter.
Most people still think in terms of "setting the VCR" however, IMO.

Sure, the "reactors" have reached "cold shutdown."
How is this possible, you might ask?
Simple, because the fissile material is _outside_ of the "reactors."
'nuff said.
600 light years...

And thus proving that the rest of the solar isn't isn't a static, unchanging, and dead (lifeless??) environment.
Yay!!!
Noooooooooooooooo!!!

So, do we get a new round of AT&T vs. T-Mobile commercials? Does the hot T-Mobile Girl start making out with the AT&T Guy?
Or do we see him trying to woo her?
Who get's to be on top? *giggles*

Well, clearly, there can be only one.
This sucks, IMNSHO.

So, a bunch of former (are they really ever "former") commies are going to build the first commercial space station?
Wow...I guess that's appropriate given what we've built...
I guess it's Back to the Future...or is that Past...
Yeah, I'm serious. BP's efforts to stop the blowout all seem to focus on preserving the integrity of the well for future production.
Why no send down some some sort of shaped charges to collapse the bore hole into the deposit.
How about a mini-nuke?
Seriously, that's gotta work...
Good point. I had forgotten this aspect. But, Google did, recently aquire a VoIP company....so maybe, just maybe someday....
