"liquid fuels don't require a lot of expensive infrastructure to store and transfer."
You sure? Granted, much of that infrastructure is already build and paid for, but gasoline doesn't refine and transport itself, and gas stations don't just spring up by themselves, nor are they cheap to build.
Not as bad as CA, but this year's snowfall is just a fraction of normal. Expect lots of fires in the forests of OR and WA this year. I don't know where Shatner gets the idea that Seattle has more than it can use.
You don't just hand a kid a tablet and wish him luck. Apple has done quite a bit of work to allow central administration of app deployment, security, and OS configuration that, to my understanding, Android can't match. They're far from perfect, two years ago they had next to nothing, but it's evolving pretty quickly. But as bad as iPads are for this use case, Androids would be worse, albeit cheaper.
I work in education, and the idea that you'll just roll out a new tech to hundreds of thousand of kids is just asinine. Start small, work the bugs out, then go big. Especially if you're deploying tablets, trying to manage them is like herding cats. Apple's made some progress in that area, but they're still a huge PIA to manage. I hope there's a serious, ie external, investigation into who drove this fiasco. While incompetence on this scale isn't unimaginable, I suspect shenanigans. Follow the money.
Are you saying that Comcast can rid itself of bureaucrats?
Or are you saying you can't rid yourself of bureaucrats, but you can rid yourself of Comcast? If so, let me in on the secret. My options are Comcast or very crappy DSL or satellite. Thanks for those great choices Free Market!
I still have the oven that was installed in my house in 1959. Works great. Finding parts is a bitch, but it only breaks once every decade or two. Microwave died last week, I'll have to hunt down a two-dial model.
...it made the various Game of Thrones societies look like communist utopias. And according to Wiki, (Hawaiian word BTW), it was abandoned by Kamehameha in the 19th century. I'm all for protecting burial grounds and historic sites, but 'violating' prime real estate reserved for royalty in order to advance mankind's knowledge of the universe strikes me as a win.
If you drink enough MS koolaid, putting metro in Windows 8 sort of made sense, in a "everyone will love it and buy our phones!" way. But putting it on a server OS was just mind-numbingly stupid, I just can't see how anyone thought it was a good idea. I cringe every time I have to log in to our 2012 servers.
there are no reserves of pure hydrogen. It has to be 'cracked' from molecules, typically hydrocarbons (nat. gas and oil!) or water, and getting it from water takes a lot of electricity...hello Mr. Coal! And once you create it, it has to be shipped. So it's no cleaner than running batteries, and has some serious downside.
"I've always been concerned about people who can't see the negative side of all the "green", modern technologies today."
And I've found such people exist primarily in the imaginations of the people who complain about them.(I'll concede there may be some exceptions, see Einstein and the limits of human stupidity) Look, anyone with grey cells knows that windmills don't magically spring up from the ground, they have to be manufactured, and manufacturing creates pollution, especially in countries that find it inconvenient to regulate it. The question isn't "are windmills perfect?", it's "Do windmills have a smaller carbon/environmental footprint than using coal to create the same amount of power?" The consensus seems to be yes, they do.
Finally, "green" and "modern technologies" aren't equivalent. I'm pretty sure the president of Exxon Mobil owns a cell phone, and just as sure he couldn't give two farts about being green. The fact that tech creates pollution is not a blanket indictment of green tech. I do agree that replacing your phone every two years is wasteful, it would be nice if phone carriers provided an incentive to keep your old phone instead of the 2-year churn. They may be getting there, when my two years with AT&T was up I got a new contract that gave me a break for using my old phone.
You will be shocked to learn that it's not always accurate, or impartial. You might also notice that the same is often true of the media who delivers our news. We now return you to your April Foolery, hope that wasn't a buzz kill.
Seriously, it's amazing how much the actor was able to communicate without speaking while wearing a ton of makeup. His smug satisfaction after C3PO says "Let the wookie win" in ANH is just brilliant. Anthony Daniels gets all the love, but Peter Mayhew's performance is in the same league, in my opinion.
Kitsap County gets 49 inches a year, and averages 153 sunny days. So it's fair to say most of the time the weather is crappy, and from what I understand that tends to kill wireless performance.
not abortions, being covered as mandated by the ACA. And before the ACA passed, the insurance Hobby Lobby offered to their employees covered contraception, and it didn't seem to bother anybody's religious convictions. Strange, that.
Seems like this would be a great case for getting that law stricken or amended. Most of those laws are justified so as to provide a level playing field for corporate ISPs, but since they're not interested in serving him the law shouldn't be enforced in this case. Maybe the EFF would be interested?
Honestly, Freeman portaling around to take on the Combine isn't innovative enough for HL3? So hire some decent writers, figure out how to make portals work in Halflife, and go to town. As long as they don't totally cock it up it'll make millions and the fanboyz will settle down for a few more years. Everybody wins!
when it comes to giving feedback. I get help tickets from our Tier 1 support people, who are supposedly trained, that don't include usernames or what OS/App is causing the problem. Our customers mostly have masters degrees or PhDs, but getting any useful information from them is next to impossible.
Your solution has to work on Windows and iPads, but you'd rather not use a web-based product? I guess it's possible an app that does what you want with robust Windows and iOS clients exists, but I wouldn't count on the "robust" part if I were a betting man. That's coming from someone who runs Outlook an a Mac, so I'm admittedly jaded when it comes to claims of cross-platform compatibility.
I've used Redmine in the past. Web-based, open source, pretty easy to use. Some of my colleagues hate it, so YMMV, but worth a look.
I don't see Obama claiming 545,000 open IT jobs anywhere but the CW article. Where did Computerworld come up with that? They attribute it to "the White House" and "the Obama administration", but don't name names.

As for the Prius, its environmental impact has been debated to death and yes, it is greener than your pickup.

I have a G400. Been pretty happy with it.
It went to a box that used to be hooked up to a satellite dish, which had been removed.

Comcast charges a rental fee for their router, it's right on the bill. Qwest, er Century Link, did the same thing

Any predictions for how many days it takes for this to get hacked and we have Talky Tina epidemic?

"Will Apple phase out these ports in favour of a single, widely-accepted, but novel standard?"
Help me out, what the hell does that mean? If a standard is widely-accepted, how can it be novel?
