Since everyone is equally miserable, Liberals can take great joy in the success of their socioeconomic theory - economic equality through equal suffering.
Basically, the constructive possession doctrine in PA says that it is an equivalent situation that the administrators were physically located in the child's bedroom with a camera. This is the same law that is used to charge kids with minor possession of alcohol for simply being in a place where alcohol is present, regardless of whether the minor actually has physical possession of any. The beer may as well have been in their hand, just like the administrators may as well have been in the child's bedroom, where at some point during the constructive possession of the photographic equipment, one can reasonably conclude the child was undressed.
QED. The administrators are guilty of photographing naked minors by the constructive possession doctrine.
Your 2 minute holdup time is more than sufficient to start a Diesel generator and for an automatic transfer switch to fire.
Put a 20kW (or whatever size you need) diesel generator outside and wire it into an ATS. It usually takes just a few seconds for the generator to start and switch the mains.
Professional athletes can generate 900W for a very short period of time. Typical lactose threshold for a professional cyclist is about 400 Watts, assuming they're doped up. An un-doped cyclist can generate about 325-350W sub-threshold.
Competitive non-pros (Cat 3 and up) hang around the high 200's.
I have a cheap Samsung slider phone that does tethering on my $15/mo data plan. My bill (with corporate discount) is about $85 for two phones (700 mins + rollover), 200 texts each, and data on one of them. It's expensive, but we're starting to see the beginnings of a price war, so we'll see how that shakes out.
There are places the service is not so good, but that's true for all carriers.
I had a real asshole of a CS professor in college (who will remain nameless) who insisted that every single line of code be commented. He took 10 points off an assignment once because I didn't comment a line that only had a closed brace on it.
I work in an office with 400 people. There are 3 local admins, but we are not allowed to use them. Their sole job is to keep the phones and internet service going.
If we have PC or Server issues, we have to call our company's global help desk in India to get a solution.
If you really want to know, there are several newspapers in Mobile that probably offer online archives going back that far that would tell you everything you wanted to know about the events of the past decade.
The Mobile Press Register is probably a good place to start..
After my 5 year old washer died, and they wanted $126 service call plus $170/hr plus $350 for the part to repair it, it was cheaper just to buy a new one.
I've not had a washer last 5 years in my lifetime, so I figure if I could just "pre-buy" a new one for $280, as I did with my new $900 LG washer, it's worth it. Repair is not an option because for some reason, fixing a washer costs $170/hr for labor and astronomical dollars for parts.
I love my job more every time I read about one of these senseless companies on slashdot.
"We don't care what you do as long as you get your work done on time" is basically our rule. We have no set working hours. We can work remotely all we want as long as we're in the office for important meetings and necessary lab work.
I usually work from 6-10AM and from 2-6PM. The 4 hour break in the middle is nice for getting in a good bike ride, running errands, or doing other shit I need to do.

Why keep banging out heads into the PV wall when you can have cheap hybrid panels that convert 75% of incident energy?

Settle for your 20% PV electricity and focus on capturing waste heat.
Wish I had some mod points to give you. Attention everyone - this is one of the best posts in the thread.

All you're really going to get with that is the Moon, or the Sun if you have a solar filter for it.
Maybe, just maybe, on a very clear night with great seeing, you might possibly get to see Jupiter and the four major Jovian moons.
After all, $4/mo is pretty cheap to have a better chance of winning the BOFH penis length... er... uptime contest...
I'll bet it has something to do with people selecting the High Performance power profile without knowing the full consequences of it.

I think he's talking about dissipation of such a large amount of power in such a small package size.
The die size is barely larger than a square inch, and 280W is a tremendous amount of energy to dissipate through it.
Cooling these things is going to be an issue for sure.

Ghostery's website has 3 tracking bugs, all of which are blocked by Ghostery.
Should this story be merged with the story about the lack of work ethic in the software industry?

Y2K was Software Engineering's moment in the Sun, not IT's.

It should be:
"Worldwide productivity gain from IT was $6.2T less than it would have been in the most ideal case imaginable"

What's with the sensationalism, slashdot?
I don't know if he was trying to be funny by sounding like he was trying to talk with his mouth full, but it was utterly intolerable...
FireFox is only most popular if you break each browser down to it's version number.
If you conduct an intellectually honest comparison, it's clear that the IE Franchise is still dominant.

If so, I'm not holding out much hope...
