Dangerous practices. I don't know about the states but swapping earth / live would probably get you procescuted for manslaughter in the UK. The transient generator would probably get you sued for damages.
I am no expert but under the new legislation that has just been introduced you would be in trouble for not being a "competant person" and possibly for not complying with the new building regulations (requiring permission before installing new circuits etc.)
The outlets would certainly not pass the periodic electrical testing that businesses must do.
Here in the UK Virgin has been putting power outlets for charging up phones and laptops next to all the seats in their new trains.
So you could go on a pleasure trip and charge up (but given the state of the UK rail system that might not be a good idea if you need to make it to something on time. )
It's not uncommon for people in Britain to not have a telephone (students in student houses, broke people in bedsits and those who can't / won't pay the bill).
Of course a solution (albeit a nasty laggy one) for these residents would be satellite internet and VOIP.
The cheapest source of lords, in Britain at least, is from the house of lords where the hereditary peers are being removed and replaced with life peers.
They might be a bit cranky having been woken from their decades long sleep and told to shove off.
Unfortunatly due to their great age they are not much good at jumping.
Indeed. Also by speed reading it, you are not really reading the report in depth. You are not thinking about what you are reading, you are just scanning the text.
Ah but don't forget the phrase "necessity is the mother of all invention". When oil gets scarce governments and scientists will pull their fingers out and stop squabbling about minor things like where to site it. They might even actually go ahead and build it.
If you need proof of this concept thing of all the innovations that came about out of the first and second world war.
BBC News is reporting that farmers in the eastern Indian state of Chhattisgarh are using Pepsi or Coka-Cola as a cheaper alternative to pesticides. OK, so it's not a herbicide, but who knows, it might work:)
And this is why all American cars are s**t. You just don't understand that to handle well cars must be light. Think of the power to weight ratio to boot.
No. I was making a point about modern society. I didn't say mindless music, I said mindless noise. Listen to Fox news or just about any radio DJ and you'll see what I mean. But I suppose Britney Spheres is pretty mindless;)
As far as the 'invention' is concerned, are you really deprived by being separated from your electronic pacifier for a few minutes in the morning or are you just buying a gadget to show off and attempt to look cool "Look at me I've got an expensive piece of tat attacted to my noggins"
What does society have against silence? Everywhere you go you are bombarded with music. At work you have the radio or hi-fi blaring. At home you have telly on permanently or your hi-fi blaring. When you go shopping you are subjected to muzac. In the car you have the radio/cd on.
Everywhere we are bombarded with mindless noise.
Now you can't even go swimming without having your mp3 collection zapped into your inner ear. Insanity.

Typo indeed. Maybe braino would be a more exact description :)
58K for Gator, the venture capitalists must be bonkers.
Are you sure, she is skinny as a matchstick.

Don't worry, the health and safety people will have made zZimmer frames, going out of your front door and breathing illegal by then.
I'll be the one laughing at you in the distance when you're stuck miles from the nearest store with dead batteries.

HELLO!
I'M ON THE PLANE!
IT'S RUBBISH!
stupid lameness filter, it is like yelling because it is yelling d'oh
No software can keep track of hungry astronaughts raiding the fridge and not booking out what they have taken.
"a Russian cargo vessel scheduled to arrive on Dec. 25". So they won't me missing out on the brussel sprouts this year. Poor sods :)

You have not a hope in hell of reading all that in 12 hours. Its a big, big book.

Where am I?

In the School
What do you want?
Information
Whose side are you on?
That would be telling . .
We want Information
You won't get it
By hook or by crook . .
We will
Who are you?
The new Number Two
Who is Number One?
You are Number Six
I am not a number . .
I'm a free man!

LINK Do'h. Must use preview. I was sure I included that link.

I await the flaming American Coke fans with glee.

No, this is worse.
Must be a rounding error ;)
This story could be the ultimate Slashdot troll, think about it:
1. Put a worthless story up on the front page.
2. Add grammatical mistakes.
2. Turn the server off once it makes it to the front page.
Watch as the worthless, pointless discussion racks up posts 99.9% of which are on the 3 subjects above.
