And you know what, the fact that I can setup igoogle once and use it the same way on every device is one of the reasons I really, really like it. I don't have to setup a new configuration each time I switch devices, I just go to www.google.com and click on the igoogle link.
Hmm, I have an HD5750 which is above average according to the last Steam survey and yet I can't turn everything up @1080p with vsync and AA on. Anyone on a laptop is going to have less than half that power since the 5750 draws about 85W which is more than the entire system power budget for anything called a laptop.
That's done almost everywhere, Davey Tree Experts, Bartlett Tree Experts, and their competitors do this for most utilities. The thing is this storm produced 90-100 MPH straight line winds which aren't normally seen over such a large area outside of hurricanes.
$20 per BBL is WAY off for rail. Heck, my dad pays about that per tote (15BBL) for local delivery via truck and he's a small player. I'd have to ask him what he pays per rail car but I can guarantee you it's a lot less than $20/BBL.
Yep, 80% of the water from the Colorado river goes to agriculture, if you reduce the usage to 70% you can double the population of the desert SW without any other changes.
Many gas stations do have generators. I know the last few I've seen built in my area have them. Of course If I had to guess that's more to keep the refrigeration units running since most of a gas stations profits come from the mini-mart they run but if you're going to bother with a generator you'll probably have it run the pumps as well =)
Of course that ignores the point that almost zero percent of datacenter generators run on gasoline. Offroad diesel is by far the most common fuel used for generators and it's generally supplied via tanker truck which gets supplied at the local fuel depot, which will certainly have backup generators. Natural gas can be used, but when you're talking a $200M datacenter it would require a pipeline connection the size of a small power plant and so it's generally cheaper to do diesel and have onsite storage of a day or two worth of fuel.
Yes, they are supposed to. That's why a VoIP cable modem has a battery in the unit, to ensure you can still communicate during normal power outages. If you're going to be without power for a week nothing short of a generator or POTS is going to help (ok some voice only cellphones can go a week in standby).
I've just got the full range towers as my fronts for my 4.0 surround system (phantom center) and change the receiver to stereo direct mode to listen to music.
$10-15k, for 62 speakers, or at least 124 drivers, yeah I don't think any audiophile is going to be jumping on such a system. My fronts have 8 drivers and they retail for $3500 and they're just entry level audiophile gear. (I didn't pay anywhere near retail for mine, bought them very lightly used from a guy moving overseas)
I'm not aware of any Free software in this space, for free software you've got MS Live Family Safety (works with most browsers on Windows and some applications) and OpenDNS content filtering. I use the Live family safety on their laptops and OpenDNS on their tablets.
Yeah, my Android device does that just fine. In fact it will almost burn you (120F last week was my new alltime high, I've had both the phone and the battery replaced, so it's just the model, HTC Evo Shift-4G).
I never said it was, I'm just saying that anyone expecting a return to a "normal" housing market where building costs alone are running 14x (after interest) median family incomes is doing the kind of wishing that only the saddest addicts in Vegas used to do.
LOL, with median family income at $50,738 you bet your ass $350k just for the building is out of line! People wonder why the housing industry imploded, well it's because that's just not affordable.
What you can do is use the flow of the municipal water source as a heat dump. There are several places around the great lakes doing this since their supply water is in the 35-40F range year round and it's just going to heat up to ground temp on the way to the users anyways.
Yep, or "air side economizer". The biggest issue is you need to pick your site well as you need air that is neither too moist nor too hot for most of the year, and you really need to design it in as I've never seen a positive ROI on a retrofit. Intel ran some test unit for like 18 months to prove out that it could be done, but that's too short for most enterprises that run their gear for at least 48-60 months, though it could work for the web guys who tend to turn over their gear more quickly.
Northeast Ohio, there's five screens at four locations within 30 minutes of my house =)
I wouldn't have thought so either until I did a google movie search for my brothers zip one day.
Along the same lines was the announcement that by the end of next year the major studios plan to stop the distribution of film prints. How many screens are there that don't yet have digital projection equipment, hundreds of thousands? My personal fear is that the forced switch will cause a lot of smaller theaters to close, particularly the drive-in ones that I've just rediscovered with my kids recently.
Eh? If you're running HP's you can put the HDD's in any server that are compatible with the drive and it will load, even if you put the drives in the wrong order. The controllers of the same generation all use the same metadata format and will all load metadata from drives if they identify new drives. Six or seven years ago, when HP designed all their own stuff, you could even take the drives out of a server and drop them in a MSA and the MSA would pick up the information and know about the RAID set. IBM kit could do the same thing but it required a lot more intervention and wouldn't always work correctly, I'm not sure about Dell kit since I've never run a Dell shop.
What? Socket 940 boards supported 8GB with cheap 1GB DIMM's or 16GB with the much more expensive (but still cheaper than Sun) 2GB DIMM's. Eventually those same board supported 32GB but the 4GB DIMM's for them were never particularly cheap so I'm not sure how many ever got upgraded to that level.
Or, we could go back to publicly funded research where the benefits are spread to everyone. Look at the actual producers of the technology, the lab rats and scientists, are they getting rich off their labor? No, ok then the enrichment is going to middle men who at best are doing a little to optimize the area of research the company is doing. Unbridled capitalism is not the only path that leads to progress for the human race.

That's most of the tech money that isn't IBM or HP.

filling out the paperwork to prove that the monitor I'm buying is handicap accessible.
But that's impossible under the ADA since blindness is a recognized disability.
Yep, I love OpenDNS for content filtering on non-PC devices where there's not really any built in facility for it.

Nope, Hollywood apparently has better lobbyists than the RIAA, that or the lobbyists for Netflix are less capable than those for Clearchannel et al.

RIAA revokes the licenses
Can't happen without a change of law, the US has compulsory licensing for audio recordings with rates set by the Copyright Royalty Board.
