Think outside the box. Don't just try to generate electricity to feed your inefficient appliances. Install a heat pump to heat or cool your home and run it from solar or wind energy. Use deep buried pipes in your garden to provide (or sink) the heat.
Use solar energy to heat some form of heat store (anything from a lump of rock to a phase change material) that will heat your house overnight.
Be creative, but stay off the grid unless you have a UL approved connection!
I do the same but use an open source Java midlet running on my mobile phone. Just google for rfc2289 and midlet. I also run sshd on 443/tcp as that port is usually open or can be reached by CONNECTing through a proxy:-)
I'm old fashioned and like to base technical discussions on credible references to original research.
Here's a quote from a study published in IEEE Spectrum: http://spectrum.ieee.org/mar06/3069
In March 2004, acting on a number of reports from general aviation pilots that Samsung SPH-N300 cellphones had caused their GPS receivers to lose satellite lock, NASA issued a technical memorandum that described emissions from this popular phone. It reported that there were emissions in the GPS band capable of causing interference.
It's not a new discovery but this is an interesting validation; using real cars/drivers to simulate a highway.
I remember seeing this demonstrated by a traffic simulation program run from a box of cards loaded into an IBM1800 in the 70's (The IBM1800 was a big old computer see http://2eo.blogspot.com/ )

RFC 1542 sayeth
3.1.1 The BROADCAST flag
[...] This addition to the protocol is a workaround for old host
implementations. Such implementations SHOULD be modified so
that they may receive unicast BOOTREPLY messages, thus making
use of this workaround unnecessary. In general, the use of
this mechanism is discouraged.
Way back before the web I worked in a Unix shop that was a development lab for a big multinational. Head office kept sending us e-mail with large MS Word attachments. We got tierd of having to go down to the library, where we kept the only PeeCee in the department, just to see what was in the attachment.
I solved the issue by writing a program that ran on a Windows PC (an old one that had been discarded and was gathering dust in the closet) that received SMTP mail, detached the Word attachment, started up Microsoft's Word Viewer to read the attachment, then "printed" it to a file in PDF format and finaly SMTP mailed it back to the sender.
From then on all we had to do was forward the email to the robot and wait for a readable version to bounce back. As I used Microsoft's own Word Viewer there were no problems whenever a new version of Word came out, I just downloaded the latest viewer:-)
I realy do like the simple structure of the xkcd map though; like the London Underground map it is a simple representation that took much work to make it so simple!
"The analog POTS system fully disconnects the microphone and speaker when on hook" at frequencies that the POTS system was designed to use, DC to 3000Hz. However if you use a HF signal, say > 2MHz, then the hook switch is an air gap capacitor and it is possible to monitor audio from the room. The HF signal must be injected directly onto the subscriber loop as close to the house as possible.
yeah I know, we had to carry bike to school to save the tyres......
But seriously, the first machine I programmed for work had 48 bytes of RAM available. There was more RAM on the board but it was used by the hardware as a buffer and would be randomly overwritten. The stack had to fit in those 48 bytes too. You had to be sure that the subroutine call sequence was deterministic so you always knew how much RAM the stack was using, including leaving some RAM reserved for interrupt routine use!
Now, given those constraints, how would you implement math functions such as isqrt(n), integer square roor of an integer? Hint: in integer arithmetic the square root of a number is equal to the count of odd numbers that can be subtracted from it and leave a positive result.
I was a math undergrad interested in large prime numbers and numerical computing when the first hints on what RS&A were doing came out in Scientific American. At that time I had only 3 years programming experience and it was a big thrill to get a public key crypto email system working (first in Pascal on a DEC-20) but I only distributed it to a small group as the university was not yet on the Internet.
I told the story to PZ at a conference about 8 years ago and we had a good laugh wondering how things might have developed differently had that program been distributed on Usenet by someone outside the USA!
putting as little information as possible on each web page and force them to click "next" and wait for countless adds to load before they can see the next dribble of info.
did you run tools like Filemon from Sysinternals http://sysinternals.com/ to see what was failing when running as a pleb? Too often the answer is to run everything as admin when all that is required is write access to some folder under "C:\PROGRA~1"
I had the scroll wheel idea in a VDU terminal that I designed for our VT100 clone range back in 1984 when I was a partner in a start-up. I sure wish we had bothered to patent the idea, sigh. But then I guess the patent would have expired by now.

current development snapshots of 0.9.7 to provide SSL or TLS is

There is more. Go read it yourselves.

no, real men wear lumberjack shirts and use Teco http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Editor_and_Corrector and in their spare time use it to code an operating system disguised as an editor.

I wonder if they considered that?

Of course, in the clasical version of this experiment the crystal is usualy spherical with a diameter of about 20cm.

I have read the source and compiled it before installing, of course I trust it ;-)
