'Cloud based' means you can access the data and interact with your energy from any location. Many energy monitoring solutions available today are accessible from the local premises only. With a cloud-based system you can access it on your phone, TV, computer, etc. at any location.
The most useful time for me to turn off my power is when I'm away from home and forgot to turn something off, which is a good case for the mobile phone.
The probability of being killed by a terrorist is only as low as it is because we have had measures like this actively in place. Countless terrorist attacks have been prevented in this manner.
It boggles my mind that anyone would be selfish enough to allow another innocent American/person be killed at the expense of "the Man *might* try to see what illegal activities I'm up to (if I'm acting suspiciously)." What are you trying to hide that someone else has to die? It is a good thing this bill passed, in a democrat-controlled congress nonetheless, 273-156.
And how about the 1st amendment rights? Far-lefties reminding everyone non-stop about the 4th amendment forgot about the 1st when they modded my original post down to flamebait, suppressing my ability to share my opinion. Who's taking a dump on the bill of rights here?
This is going to save lives, no doubt. Quantifying how many lives it saves is another matter. Anybody against this bill - democrat or republican - is ignorant of the times, and perhaps needs to adjust the order of their personal agenda's priorities.
"... ask why the candidate feels they can pick and choose what facts they believe in."
It sounds like you're stereotyping all Republican candidates, that all of them pick and choose what they believe in; however, don't all candidates, Democrat or Republican, generally pick and choose what they believe in? Not all Republicans think evolution does not exist - in fact, I think the majority of Republicans believe that evolution played some part in developing species. Similarly, not all Democrats believe global warming is an immediate threat. It's stereotypical to think everyone of a certain group believes the same things, and it must be respectfully avoided.
I found David Buss's article interesting. He sums up with the following, "On reflection, the dangerous idea may not be that murder historically has been advantageous to the reproductive success of killers; nor that we all house homicidal circuits within our brains; nor even that all of us are lineal descendants of ancestors who murdered. The danger comes from people who refuse to recognize that there are dark sides of human nature that cannot be wished away by attributing them to the modern ills of culture, poverty, pathology, or exposure to media violence. The danger comes from failing to gaze into the mirror and come to grips the capacity for evil in all of us."
A democracy is built on the assumption that over 50% of the people are correct over 50% of the time.
So how is it that your critical thinking skills are somehow more correct while over 50% of the population just proved otherwise?
That 5.2 was my first earthquake, and it wasn't much. Building kind of shook a bit. Everyone went on with work like nothing. Some people didn't even notice.
I agree that what these select group of people did was very bad and damages the image of what the United States is after. However, we have to keep in mind that the scope of the problem is very limited to a few people who took part in this whole prison thing. Although lots of people can't grasp this and think that all our men and women over there are doing stuff like this, especially in parts of the arab world where anti-american news is fed to them somewhat forcefully, I don't like the fact that the actions of the United States and our people is being judged by the atrocities committed by a select group of soldiers. Their careless actions do not represent the views of our nation or population. It's an unfortunate situation.
I'm still waiting for inTouch health's remote presence technology to hit the streets. I've seen some of their demos and it looks very promising. It has the ability to cast yourself anywhere in the world and interact with your environment, keeping tabs on the kids and elderly. It inverts the ratio of the number of care-givers needed to take care of the number of elderly. Essentially, the idea is you can have one doctor or nurse able to project himself to the patient's location at any time with the help of these robots. Very cool.
I completely agree. I stopped buying music years ago. I actually think there's quite a bit fan base of music mainly based in Europe: Trance techno, for example. I listen to Digitally Imported radio, which plays constant streams of music (sometimes live) in all different forms of trance, and it even has classical, salsa, and jazz streams.
The thing is though, even though digitally imported is an awesome site, there are tons of online radio stations that tailor to certain genres of music, constantly changing, that users can listen to for free (even ad-free). So if you're sitting in front of the computer all the time like most of us/. folks are, I don't see the need to buy your own music.
About 6 years ago, I found a nice big round log and began sawing a 3" piece off. Then, I took my new CD player apart and routed out the shape of the circuit board inside the log. After using some silicone to secure the circuit board inside the log, I was styling with my newly created CD playing log. It even had a wooden lid and everything.
I got a few strange looks carrying it around, but for the most part everybody thought it was hilarious. Don't know what damage that laser did to me, but it was worth it.
Old Lady #1: When my ex-husband passed away, the insurance company said his policy didn't cover him.
Old Lady #2: They didn't have enough money for the funeral.

Old Lady #1: I don't even know why the scientists make them.

I don't see this as a feasible solution. How would something like this be implemented? It won't. Sure, Microsoft can setup Outlook to do some calculations or "pay" for sending email, but what's to stop someone else from simply using a different email program?
On my old cell phone while the keys were locked, the only number I could dial was 911. While the cell phone had its keys locked in my pocket, the cell phone would dial 911 on its own whenever it felt like it.
One time I got out of a very difficult test, only to immediatly get a phone call from the police department claiming I dialed 911. When asked what the emergency was, I told them that I probably just bombed my test and my phone went ahead and called them for me. Turns out my phone was right, a week later I found that I ended up with a 40% on the test - a score which probably should have required me to have medical assistance.
Guess it's pretty common for students to jump out windows then. School tends to do that to people.
In another scenario at my high school, a teacher didn't show up to class one day and they didn't have a sub. So the students had nothing to do with no one to supervise. They were on the 2nd story of this building, so three students opened up the windows and jumped out. The first one landed on the ground and looked up to see the rest of the class hanging out the windows giving him thumbs up. He then looked ahead of him at the first story window, and there was the entire art class lined up at the windows looking at him, shocked. Before he flew from the sky and landed in front of their windows, they were painting pictures of the landscape.
Within the next 10 minutes, the majority of the class managed to jump out the 2nd story window - boys and girls. The art instructor contacted the principal, who came upstairs to see what was going on. When asked about jumping out of windows, the class kind of shrugged it off and told the principal that he should try it. He laughed, shook his head, closed the door, and never bothered calling in a sub.
