10 years still makes for $1300+ per year for the battery alone. (without the rebate)
So what you need is:
$(current peak usage) - $(off peak charging) x 0.8 > $1300 to break even.
My power bills have never even been > $1300/year so it's hard to make that equation work.
I'm sure the power companies are interested since if you get wide adoption it reduces the increase in their baseload so they don't have to build more plants and once you have a widely installed base you suddenly have "peak" overnight at the same level as during the day which is perfect use of their generation facilities, and they would adjust their pricing accordingly...
Even better than that, it's the same "we'll google the number and put up a name" feature built into recent Android builds anyway.. but with "Facebook" instead of "Google". Given their usual rigour, it will probably work acceptably in 30% of cases in the continental US and be worthless outside of that.
I guess there's a point to the "1532 have blocked this number" except that ALL the people you want to block come from undisclosed numbers/PABX/skype anyway, so... meh.
Plus, it has the added bonus of feeding back the phone number of everyone that ever calls you to Facebook, because you know, they're not far enough up your ass now.
What you say is true, however it doesn't excuse the negligence of storing passwords in plaintext, or even with poor hashing algorithms.
Just because access to the password file is a major loss requiring everyone to change their passwords, that doesn't mean a good hashing algorithm doesn't extend the period people have to change their password, or in the case of people that use good passwords, extend the likely breach of that password outside useful bounds. i.e. just because Alice's password is s3cur1ty! and will fall within the first 2 minutes of access to the hashed table, doesn't mean Bob's of (say) f37kqrLbaNQCnlfyBXnp is as even plausibly retrievable stored as a salted SHA512 hash.
I know some people who would find it just as offensive that their status was regarded as a "disorder", so I don't know that there's any universally accepted way of describing it. As for "official medical terms", have that discussion with some feminists about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
Some goes for gender dysphoria. If dysphoria is defined as "a state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life", I'm not sure I'd want that label either.
otoh I'd suggest "gender assignment" is a stupid term since it implies a decision on behalf of the parent/doctors/etc and tends to the provocative.
In any case, I don't mean it to be dismissive or invalidating in general, even if there are some people that are either mistaken or attention seeking in this area, as in every other area of human experience.
Yeah well, this isn't about internet addiction either, it's about the reach of bullies into the home at all hours of the day and night.
I guess the difference I see is that you're (apparently?) proposing that removing 24/7 internet access from adolescents is somehow damaging, while I don't see the "boon" of having your tweens on the internet all night.
Sure they can be bullied at school, they can be molested in the comfort of their own homes, but there's nothing that has the searchable reach of the internet to find vulnerable idiots to prey on.
it's a boon for the vast amount of people out there.
I agree with the last phrase of your comment, but you could say the same thing about the car, and I don't think you're suggesting that 12 year olds should be supplied with those? Or are you?
Nice theory, but I wonder how many teenagers you have in the house? How many of those have other issues that constant internet activity exacerbates?
Not that anecdotal evidence is data, but; you go ahead and tell me how healthy it is for a gender confused 12 year old to be given a data enabled iPhone by his/her non-custodial parent, who then can not remove the device even after stark evidence of grooming messaging taking place, because they threaten to suicide if it's taken away.
Yeah, that's the same behaviour we had to deal with as kids, in no way whatsoever.
I get where you're going but cash is fungible and what the town spends it on, or if it even bothers to comply with state laws about where the money goes, is less easy to control. And if the "town" doesn't have the fine revenue, they have less money to fund the police, so it makes little difference if the cops hand it to the town to hand back to the police. By which I mean the town often appears to be directing the police to raise revenue.
Where the town is collecting ticket revenue and not passing it along to the state as the law requires, ostensibly via some loophole. Then the state suggests putting up flashing "speed trap" signs outside your town, because that's adult.
Or these guys that were running the police force to fund the town: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fl... So if they can't have the fine revenue they have no use for police at all!
The trouble with the 85th percentile rule is that it works against people that want the speed limits higher, even if they're in the greater percentage.
i.e. traditionally the unlimited speed was assessed on a road, and the limit set at or below the speed that 85% of people were travelling. Now, the enforcement here is so strict that people are generally doing 5 under the posted speed limit, so they're dropping the speed limits all over the place!
The problem you have with your system is that the fines are retained by the police, they should go into state revenue without earmarks.
That said, they're still really enthusiastic to fine speeders here; they still get to swagger and chide you like a naughty child after breaking more laws than the person they're "in pursuit" of, that hasn't actually fled.
Linguists know that a language is just a dialect with an army.
Exactly so, but would you think it's acceptable to write a contract in "redneck"? The introduction to the article implies that small groups, "youfs" for example, write correctly because they write as their contemporaries write, it's not comparable to entire countries.
Admittedly, the body of the article is a long way from the opening paragraph and I suspect a (sub?)editor is at fault. The body is about obscure grammar rules most people don't know, and elements of style which even Oxford and Cambridge can't agree on.
I think you can blame the people that over-egg the pudding by putting multiple full-screen ad breaks in videos and generally making the experience so bad people seek a technological fix to their perceived problem with those videos and yours are collateral damage.
Naturally, most of the really bad videos are things like BBC shows that people have no moral right to watch or monetise.. but I'm sure both can give you lots of reasons why they're not hurting anyone.
A lot of elderly people on fixed incomes get pushed out of their houses because they can no longer pay the property taxes on houses they own outright -- their fixed incomes don't increase to match the increase in value and taxes.
Good?
The baby boomers are going to be sitting on an ocean of "urealised wealth" while insisting they're paid pensions and medical costs so they can eventually divest their property onto the next generation which will be at about the same time of life by the time they die... WHY do retirees need to live near work?
If you *really* love your legal team and want to spend $5 million on your defense against an individual, I think you're probably going to be $5 million out of pocket (rounding up).

Given that we flare off most of the energy we consume as heat, we'd also have to be comfortable with the earth being as hot as the sun.
That just makes you a shitty Administrator; you shouldn't be updating production without testing for exactly that reason.

You are dangerously stupid or trolling.

Sorry, I thought that was the term http://medical-dictionary.thef...
Do you have some particular term that you're desperately attached to I should use if I meet you?

The article is, after all, about children.
Nice theory, but I wonder how many teenagers you have in the house? How many of those have other issues that constant internet activity exacerbates?

So if they can't have the fine revenue they have no use for police at all!
You already have failing towns that are massive speed traps because the revenue stays within the town, and you'd like to ... increase that effect?
The trouble with the 85th percentile rule is that it works against people that want the speed limits higher, even if they're in the greater percentage.
i.e. traditionally the unlimited speed was assessed on a road, and the limit set at or below the speed that 85% of people were travelling. Now, the enforcement here is so strict that people are generally doing 5 under the posted speed limit, so they're dropping the speed limits all over the place!

ah doesn't reckon yer thesis is necessarily co'reck, an' thet th' article is cornfusin' dialeck wif language.
I don't fink yor thesis is necessarily correct, right, and that the article is confusin' dialect wiv 'am sandwich.
Or maybe you reckon the above is "English"?

Seen this twice now, and have to ask, "umm so?"
Are their primes worse than $1000 primes? Or do you have some proof that their backend is insecure?
