In an unregulated market the power line company charges a flat government regulated fee to carry the power and maintain the lines. If the line company needs to adjust the fee they must ask for a rate adjustment. The line company at no time owns any electricity on the lines. The electric providers purchase electricity from generation utilities and contract with the line company to deliver the power to the consumer. If power goes out you call the line company for service but for billing issues you call the electric provider.
In a regulated market the power company is generator, line carrier, and electric provider. They can purchase extra power if they need it from third parties but it is tightly regulated.
Historically incentives for home electric generation have guaranteed a certain price minimum for anything sent to the grid. This works in a regulated market because the price is regulated but it doesn't sit well in an unregulated market because the price may be significantly more than the current market rate. Of course if you made it fairer many homeowners would cry foul even though it wouldn't be. But at some point that decision must be made and no politician wants to be the one to take something away from his constituents.
The thing is this works with the most popular commercial packages, is cross platform (It''s JAVA based), and has clients for almost any use case. It's a pretty good glue for incompatible systems.
I've been looking at OpenHAB. It is pretty comprehensive and compatible with many current IoT protocols. Being OSS it's open to peer/security revue. I am hoping it or something like it will gain mass scale adoption.
The post is about a "war" between OSS camps and how even though they've buried the hatchet an even bigger threat looms. I believe I appropriately intertwined both tomes.
Except the monopoly was granted for something BESIDES network connectivity. AT&T and ComCast have used resources granted for one purpose to monopolize another. The new purpose is wholly unregulated but benefits from the previous monopoly status. This SHOULD be regulated as long as they are using the resources they gained from the government.
At the very least they should be restricted from overselling capacity. They've been doing that for years and playing the odds that their back end wouldn't get hammered. Then Netflix happened and their back end was getting saturated all the time. But instead of upgrading their back end to meet the demand they had sold to their customers they approached Netflix and demanded THEY pay for the upgrade. Their network magically improved overnight once Netflix capitulated. No one seems to want metered internet usage but it just might be what is needed to balance the cost for the ISP. We pay for electricity per watt, it just makes sense that we pay for usage per GB.
Systemd has coalesced with/. beta and has begun rampaging on the Seattle coast line. Fishmongers are running for their lives but have as yet still not dropped a cod!
IANAL but my understanding is that as long as he isn't charging or selling ad space on the page and all of the artwork was digitally created by him and not copied directly he should be clear from almost any type of legal action since it is for "personal" use. I admit I didn't visit the site so I don't know if these conditions were met. Now if he has the Nintendo logo and Mario is bit for bit identical they can go after him for trademark and trade dress infringement but not copyright as he hasn't "published" anything.
Easy...there need to be enough smart people voting to cancel out the less intelligent folk, which outnumber the smart folk by a wide margin. Dismiss Idiocracy all you want. The future is now and it craves electrolytes!
FFS! The insignificant event was the cold food. The assault was the catastrophic result. It's constant incessant imbecilic exchanges like this that likely led to his meltdown.
I said he crossed a line you stupid git. I also said he was under intense pressure for an extended period and that resulted in his ultimate action. you are the only one here condoning immoral behavior.

The $50 version would have multiple languages.
It's not surprising they didn't know about the side effect given that they aren't even sure how it works to alleviate pain.

creative ways are implemented to manage it

Wait!? They just released the remastered version. When did Rise Of the Triad 13 come out?
What's the oldest known form? I'll start with the HP 3314A Function Generator.
OH there is controversy all right. Just call a Canadian an American and he'll punch you despite the fact all Canadians are technically Americans.

Jumpers? Lazy bastards...We used wire wrap.

In that case he is fortunate all he got was a DMCA notice.

But I suspect that most people would have a problem with outlawing penetrative sex.
The Shakers have not been doing it for thousands of years.
We should all go to the blood and circuses together

Do /. readers truly not get idioms?
