I used to live in a 1500 sq ft house (built in 2001) in the southern part of Georgia. I did run my PC 24/7, but I had compact fluorescent bulbs in nearly every fixture (including outside lights).
January was usually the highest energy consumption month (I know I've hit 1200 kWh), but the summer wasn't far behind. In the summer, the rates are higher and the bills were significantly more.
Why so much electricity in the cold months? In that area most houses use heat pumps for heating (no natural gas infrastructure) with electric heating elements in the unit for when the temperature is too low for a heat pump to work (below 40F?).
I'm the original poster. I spoke to a lawyer, and he told me that in my state this type of contract would hold and that the employer can punish employees in any way for not signing. So, I'm thinking I just need to find a better employer.
I'm glad someone is focusing on the overhead and efficiency of the standards and not just trying to get something out there with a big unrealistic marketable speed. I guess comparing advertised Mbps on wireless devices could be like comparing MHz for CPUs by different companies.
In RIAA terms it'd be more like 156 credit card numbers were found, but since some of them had high limits, it was the equivalent of 5000 credit cards.
Should cab drivers be allowed to show movies in their cabs? What about a bar? If you think they should be allowed to without paying any royalties, then why shouldn't I be allowed to open my own second run movie house with a video projector and lots of DVDs?
The difference is that they are talking about "free" radio. In reference to the movies, it would be the same as having a TV tuned to an over-the-air station that is playing a movie. Playing a DVD for them would, however, be viewed differently [legally].
I wonder just how much you would be able to store in an image. I would think there would only be a certain percentage of the total data that you could store per a certain image size. Anybody know any specifics?
Maybe not the best use of this... but don't some arcade video games have a display that is reversed and you actually look at a mirror image of the display?

It takes most LCD monitors 30 to 40ms to change a pixel... there are 1000ms in a second, 1000ms/35ms = 28.5 fps
