Changing or topping off the fluid (antifreeze) was just under $100 each time. An inspection prior to selling my house was $250. I don't recall how much I spent to have the panels removed and reinstalled when I had my roof replaced; many hundred I'm sure. Fortunately, I never had a repair bill. Oh yea, the system had a pump for the antifreeze so while I wasn't saving money on gas, it used electricity all day long.
My previous house had a solar water heater. Even assuming it came "free" with the house, it was a waste of money. The preventive maintenance costs averaged $100 a year (over seven years). I doubt our gas water heater used that much gas and even if it did, the gas company has a minimum charge here in Austin. I don't know if it increased our insurance premium, but the insurance company wanted to know about it. The tank took up valuable space in the garage. I will never have one again.
If you divide the property taxes I paid last year by my house payments, you get 48% and that number is low because property taxes go up almost every year and my house payment will eventually go to zero. If you live in your house for 40 years, the taxes could easily exceed what you paid for your house including interest.
It's double ROT13. Works great. I use it on all my files, but I'm thinking about upgrading to quad ROT13. That is assuming Amazon doesn't have a patent on it.
T/TCP is different. T/TCP includes data in the SYN packet, so your SYN packet would also have "GET foo.html...". Most TCPs send an empty SYN packet, wait for a SYN+ACK reply, then send the first data packet. It is not a mixture with UDP.
"High Bandwidth TCP" seems like a better name than "Fast TCP" to me.
On June 2, the Federal Communications Commission will vote on whether to modify or even repeal its restrictions on ownership of broadcast stations. Opponents argue that changes to these rules would reduce diversity in an already concentrated market - warning that big media "monopolies" are already limiting what Americans see and hear.
They are mistaken. Despite many mergers in the media industry in recent years, Americans today actually enjoy more diversity and competition in the media than at any other time in history, thanks to cable TV, Internet, the licensing of new broadcast stations and other factors.
Rather than media monopolies, consumers face a bewildering and unprecedented amount of choice. Instead, the real danger to Americans is that outdated and unnecessary FCC restrictions will limit improvements in media markets and technologies, limiting the benefits that they can provide.
10th Amendment says "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." I'd bet maybe 1% of US citizens (and jurists) understand this simple amendment.
Thus, if the constitution doesn't grant the US the power to restrict the speech of corporations, it doesn't really matter if corporations are people or not.
Recall that some argued during the writing of the constitution that the first ten amendments weren't necessary because the constitution didn't grant the federal government the power to restrict speech, etc. As it turns out, we probably needed thousands of original amendments such as no taxes, no federal involvement in education, no welfare, no social security, etc.
Good work twitter. I grew up in south Texas where they used this technique on screwworm flies in the 70s. These slashdot ludites are morons. Perhaps we could arrange for sterile mates for them? On second thought, I doubt women have anything to do with them.
Hint: "US-controlled GPS". If you were a sovereign nation would you want to trust that the US would continue providing reasonable accurate signals globally, or would you want to have a multinational system that couldn't be turned off, or be switched to provide misleading information.
Good idea involving Russia. Their track record has been wonderful.
It's instructive to compare the generally favorable Discover article on Hydrogen with the negative article on missle defense in the same issue. This has been the pattern for the last year or so with Discover. Hippie scientists must be cheaper. Kumbiya.
I don't really care about the Tualatin, it just needs to be fast; I want to filter HTML in real time. Since I want it to be small, fast won't add much to the price.
Here are a few small cases I found google searching "micro atx cases". I haven't dealt with these companies. The first is still too large. The second is small but comes with a motherboard and CDROM (you add CPU, memory, and disk) for $255. The third also comes with a motherboard, etc. for $275.

I'll keep looking or perhaps try changing the AT power supply in the tiny case I have to an ATX (and whatever other surgery is required).
I'm looking for a tiny case to go with a micro-atx motherboard for a Linux router project (Tualatin based;). I'm looking for something on the order of 12H x 16D x 6W or smaller. I don't want a 1U case. Any recommendations?

The Myth of Media Concentration: Why the FCC's Media Ownership Rules Are Unnecessary

The "authorized" service center is selling refurbished Tivos with a 90 day warranty:
HDR112 14 hours $90
HDR212 20 hours $100
HDR312 30 hours $130
HDR612 60 hours $150
I was selected to participate in a special "Buy an Additional TiVo" offer. I was so selected, they sent me three emails!
Bet he sleeps well knowing he could have fed starving kids with all that cash.
You could get a 2nd job and use that money to feed starving kids, so you're no better.

Minor correction: they are losing money hand over fist.
If you watch more than a few TV shows per week, a Tivo is a wonderful device. You should not deny yourself one.
