It's in the same ballpark, fairly conservative estimates put a modern 1,000MW facility at $8B today, figure typical large project overruns of 50% and you're at $12,000/kW. Moody's said $7,000/kWe in final cost in June of 2008 but commodity prices have risen significantly since then and I think their capital cost estimates are way low given the probable decade+ delay between project start and actual groundbreaking. China started construction on 4 AP1000 reactors in 2009 at a published cost of $8B total which is an amazing $1,733/kWe.
The average coal plant in the US that has been retired has been at 49 years, a LOT more than 20! Heck none of the coal plants with modern emissions control systems has been retired due to the operators wishing to recoup those investments.
It's for keeping track of all those contractors, consultants, and former coworkers that I no longer have updated contact info for next time I go looking for a job.
Because first sale doctrine means they get to go pound sand. They ARE selling me a physical thing which means I own it, not them. I really am disturbed that anyone reading Slashdot would think that what you're proposing is a good or possible idea.
The TI-89 and TI-92 are essentially embedded Maple with a decent keyboard interface, much faster for most tasks then even a laptop with full Maple installed.
Well, actually the AT&T high speed service IS DSL, but it's not marketed as such. It's actually VDSL or ADSL2+, but much of the bandwidth is reserved for TV and Voice.
No, I amortized the $4.5T and another $4.5T for infrastructure, maintenance, and installation and spread it over 30 years. This of course doesn't include the time value of money but it was an easy way to show that it was unfeasible, 6% of GDP just for current electricity generation capacity in insane.
So why did they sell XScale off a few years ago? I mean this is the same CEO that pulled the last refocus off and obviously missed so I wonder why the board and investors think he'll be able to pull this one off without seriously missing the mark again?
Let's see, it would take covering 15% of all flat land in Japan with 10% efficient PV panels to produce the same amount of electricity as they used in 2008 (1,000TWHr's) (~75,000km^2 flat ground, ~3kWHr/m^2/day). It would only cost about $4.5 Trillion to do. Oh and that doesn't account for storage, distribution, or maintenance costs or the fact that you'd need a much larger installation to handle peak demand. I'm not sure that spending 6% of GDP per year (figure other costs are about equal to panel costs over 30 years) just for electricity generation is something Japan is willing to do even after this disaster.
They already have the weaponized strains and their vaccines, these are the wild strains they are talking about, only a really naive person would believe that they would talk publicly about the weaponized versions =)
Uh, from a terrorist digging up a victim of the outbreak, or some other nations bio-weapons lab synthesizing it, or from it developing again from cowpox? Just because these are the only *known* samples doesn't mean they are the only samples in existence.
Ok, the watts aren't doubled but the VA is, which is still a problem for the distribution system. I'd need almost twice as large a PDU or UPS to feed a given wattage of these "smart" bulbs as I would say PSU's with a.92 power factor, that gets very expensive very quickly.
Uh, the real power that needs to be generated by power plant will be twice as much because the cheap power supply for these components will be made as cheaply as possible resulting in a power factor of ~.5. I work in the datacenter world so I'm well aware of what power factor is and the impact it has on the power generation side of things. Power factor is one of the reasons that CFL's aren't quite as green as their label power would lead you to believe, the real load they generate is about twice as high as the label wattage.
Hehe, those were the tested and certified parameters. Once you survive 30 days it's probably just a matter of how long your seals can last before they get eaten by exotic bugs or broken down by time.
It's part of a broader home automation effort by Google called Android @Home. It will allow easy home automation through open source libraries, standard protocols, and reference implementations.
So is the power going into the NYC power conduit or into Lake Erie transmission loop? Despite the amount of clean power being generated 200 miles from my house (400 miles closer than to NYC) I have some of the dirtiest power in North America, making the switch from an efficient gas vehicle to a plugin hybrid a net loss for the environment.
Don't think you'll find it as 3x mini-HDMI would be the only configuration that would work and that would be so out there that a total of maybe 5 cards would be sold =(

There's a Chrome Extension for that, it's called personal blocklist by Google and it allows you to block URL's from future searches.

Because building a solar farm on mountains or floating barges is going to be even more expensive.

They want to be able to control it without needing you to setup a network is my assumption.

Multiply times 2 since the PF will be .5 or so given the target price point.
