Make sure that you can turn off the main circuit breaker to your home off and still have your microinverters working to power your own home and you are set.
It's crazy if they set in some circuit to prevent you powering your own home during a blackout when you are NOT connected to the grid.
It's advertising and compensation they want for their DOA movies. I saw part of Hurt Locker and I couldn't get through it. (It made The Fountain look much more entertaining)
A silent boycott should hurt Voltage Pictures. IOW: Tell your friends to avoid them because they sue people who watch their movies but don't make demonstrations.
If Google would have made it so that OS upgrade directly came from them and not the scumbag carrier, most phones would be running v4.0 or better.
Instead if the carrier thinks it will benefit them (the carrier, not their custmers), then they will crapify the OS and impose it on their captive customers. Most times they wont do this because the new OS is what will sell a new phone.
Both are a means to an end but blamed for all the bad things(tm) in there respective environments.
This is because there are more profitable ways to achieve the same goals and men with deep pockets who want it this way have purchased laws to get richer at the cost of progress.
Granted the CO2 is not good if we want the climate to stay as is but if coal is too cheap then we MUST figure a way to use it without the drawbacks.
There has been talk about talking CO2 from the air and making diesel out of it. Why not get straight from a coal burning plant? (BTW: sequestration of CO2 in the ground was proven to cause Earth quakes.)

IOW, everything will still be logged because we could be criminals in the future or might already be and we (the criminals) just don't know it yet.
If they are like all other politicians, they will copy the new Canadian law:
You can copy all you want for private use if not copy protected.
It a right that nobody can exercise.
Once you define one filter and have a functioning censorship system,
adding another filter is trivial and *NOBODY WILL NOTICE* until it's too late.
Religion is a form of control of the people.
Now that it's going away, they need something new and quick!
Because you will pay for it anyhow.
If you don't, you will be teased at school/work for being wise with your money.
The market isn't free because the incumbents buy laws to keep status quo.
Child molesters and murderers will get more time if their victims are famous or rich.
If the victims are not connected or wealthy, then Child molesters and murderers get a slap or are ignored.

Voltage Pictures is the Metallica of studios
RE: IT wasn't build on marketing
I used to say this years ago.
MS proved that you could sway IT decisions by wining and dining executives of organizations regardless of technical merits of the products.
Soon after, MS products were sold on the lemming effect, alone.
And we will.
I remember reading about a TV show with Dean Stockwell that predicted 911 and was predicting a massive reduction in world population.
Now I know how it will happen:

This, add Monsanto and laws against keeping seeds and voila: Starvation.
And Drones pay for "political contributions" to someone's campaign.
And we all know what happens when the campaign is over and there is money left over in the Super-PAC..
Because Quantum Entanglement is not in the bible.

Damn! I "commuted" a brain fart.
Like MS' Open Office XML (An I$O standard with patents)
Like the MP4 codec (An I$O standard with patents)
Etc.
That way the government can demand that all their products they buy follow the ISO standards and nobody is force to use it /s
Ah... The good old days.
Today:
At the border: Papers Please!
Walking down the road: Papers Please!

Correct.
They are commuting stock/bank fraud.
in the 80s various flavors of UNIX locked their customers' data in expensive licensing deals.
then one day, windows NT came out and showed a cheaper way. around the same time Linux also came but only a few saw Windows as just another trap.
Now we have a prophecy realized.

Why would you want tonnes of kids when you can find a job and they want to cut your food stamps?
You can't even get a living wage at Walmart!

If people use torrents to "record their favourite TV shows for later viewing", the law seem to punish you.
With Cable boxes making it harder if not impossible to do this, the law is not helping consumers.
It reminds me of a line from The Matrix:
"How are you going to speak Mr. Anderson, when you have....no mouth?"

/. should have a poll about this.
Nah,
Big guns and navy ships to spare will do fine.
