Noting that the two big energy "hogs" are the hot water heater and the dryer
That would be simply, 'water heater.':)
If you own your home, you might try an on-demand water heating system. Not only is it much more energy efficient, you effectively have 'unlimited' hot water for long showers with the SO.
I don't think that would lead to much saving of _time_; I think that would make my shower take a lot longer, in fact, thus negating any water savings. Not that that's a bad thing, mind.
I think it has - I was seeing some autoupdate popup things going on with it last night as I was using it, but never got around to investigating it to make sure that's what was going on.
If you have downloaded the Firefox 1.0.1 update, you have nothing to worry about. The Mozilla 1.7.6 and Thunderbird 1.0.1 released should be out this week as well.
The people they're likely to talk to will probably not be the people who wind up actually doing the work, and they'll likely agree to anything, whether they know what it means or not. "Surrre, we can do that in a week, no problem!"
Okay, yes, that was a joke, sorry, my bad. For coming up with Monty Python, the British have nothing left to prove.
I've certainly enjoyed being able to watch the entire season of BSG already, and Stargate SG-1, as well. Only one more episode till the season's over, woe is me! WTF am I gonna do with no more BSG or SG-1 for _months_?! *sigh*
We definitely need more chicks on the show, though, so I'm all for Sheba to show up now. Of course, with my luck and with the new BSG, it'll probably be another white guy. *sigh*
_Love_ the new Boomer, though! I hope they do more guest spots with original BSG cast members. Richard Hatch did a _great_ job with his role in the first season. I was actually impressed by his acting. Nice work, Apollo v1!
Maybe Dick Benedict can come on as some long-lost father to Starbuck v2, kinda like Fred Astaire did for Starbuck v1; that'd be good.
And what the hell, they could also pull a B5 and have Walter Koenig on as some bad guy. He's certainly earned his sci-fi dues, and then some. Bill Mumy, too.
Okay, I'm about to set up my first webserver in about 10 years, and I've got an 'ask slashdot' here - should I install 1.3.x or 2.0.x? I don't care about what most hosting companies are providing, but what are the pitfalls of going with 2.0.x over 1.3.x, and vice-versa?
I wish we could use the same mandate on our public website, but alas, such is not to be. I went ahead with some classic (though valid) tag soup code, cuz it works in everything. *shrug*
Indeed, the Samsung line is pretty nice; we've got one here at work, and it works great with both Windows and Linux. Definitely the brand I'll be buying for my one at home.
The choice these days seems to come down to Samsung vs Brother. Each has strengths and weaknesses, so check the specs and decide based on your particulars.
Slashdot Mirror
I mean, you don't leave your car on all night and day just so you don't have to start it.

Hey, that's a great idea, thanks for the tip!
I think I need to buy some gas today - reports have it increasing in the US by around 25 cents per gallon over the next two days, FYI.

"Hey, baby, I read the most awesome thing on Slashdot today!" ...
Could work.

No worries, just keep your browser updated.
No, the _most_ important question is: how does this get the researchers laid?
Yes, make it look more like Windows XP, that'll make it "prettier!" *sigh*
He's not bad ... he's just rendered that way.

Do you _have_ any shows worth downloading?

Movies at the cinema, I suppose.
Yeah, wait until IE7 actually comes out and see how satirical your comment seems then. :(
Ahh, the need for a moderation flag of "Kill Me Now" rears its head... :(
so we can through some people in jail.
Yeah, _that'll_ happen.
Or is that Lloyd Helms at the bridge? I forget...

Hmmm...some new battlestar popping up out of nowhere...hmm...that sounds vaguely familiar...
Actually, the Mac mini will fit into the empty space at the bottom of a Mac Cube. The mini is _truly_ tiny.
Decision made. :)
Thanks for the info, everyone.
I wasn't planning on PHP, but Python - any problems with Apache 2 on that front?

Sure, there's a few: Safari, Opera, and Lynx. There may be others, but I'm not sure.
If Longhorn Explorer will be everything it should be
... unlikely.
Based on past performance, this seems
