I've never seen the $ breakdown of "let it get hot and cool" vs "keep it sort of cool".
I'm only in Illinois and right now the interior of my house can easily reach 90F (32C) during the day. Another big thing to take into consideration is humidity. If I leave all my windows open and have fans blowing through the house, anything that is slightly cool will get wet. Both vinyled floors in my basement end up slick, all my toilets sweat, pipes in the crawl space get wet and drip, my clothes feel damp, etc.
With AC or a Dehumidifier, you definitely can feel the difference.
I signed up for PowerSmart Pricing for free. Which has hourly rates instead of a monthly flat rate. I've cut a good chunk of my bill by shifting most electricity to off hours.
Coupled with a free eSmart programmable thermostat. I can set temperatures from the internet. I also have it setup to kill my AC during peak hours. I did have to give them ability to kill my AC remotely, however 1) I'm not home anyway. 2) It's only 6 times between June and September. Meaning all of 2 days per week.
I'd love to figure out the protocol that it uses and set up some scripting, but for now it works.
Initial cost out of pocket: $0 Savings per month: $20-$50 (compared to previous year)
It's CmdrTaco's commentary that is wrong, the summary and grandparent is correct.
From the article: To start, he needed to get past a voice-activated security gate, find a hidden door and negotiate a few other traps in a house that a pair of kindergartners here imagined for the pigs — and then pieced together from index cards, paper cups, wood sticks and pipe cleaners.
The high-performing Glen Rock school district, about 22 miles northwest of Manhattan, now teaches 10 to 15 hours of engineering each year to every student in kindergarten through fifth grade, as part of a $100,000 redesign of the science curriculum.
Developing countries are way ahead of the "green" curve because: 1) Electricity is expensive 2) Electricity isn't that reliable.
On my recent trip to India I was quite surprised, especially out in Sikkim. Even though the area is very 'poor' (by American standards) almost everyone had florescent lights. We stayed on Yangsum Farm. The guy had a solar array. WWII sub batteries for backup. He was in process of building an entire passive 'off the grid' building.
Every single hotel room I stayed in had a slot for the key. You walked in, put the key in the slot and the power came on to the room. If you took the key, you lost power. It was annoying trying to charge stuff, but how many times to people leave their rooms in the USA and leave a TV on, some lights, etc?
So yes, developing countries know about this and they'll most likely make use of it long before anyone in the USA even cares.
While the 3-Clause BSD license allows you to do pretty much anything you want with the code in question, it provides no direct language around these areas. The Apache License, on the other hand, does. It makes very clear that individual contributors grant copyright license to anyone who receives the code, that their contribution is free from patent encumbrances (and if it is not, that they license that patent to anyone who receives the code,) and that use of Trademarks extends only as far as is necessary to use the product. It also includes a patent termination clause, should a lawsuit arise.
So, if you use Apple's mDNS code, you're in the clear. If you try and reinvent something, (like microsoft is doing) are in violation in Apple's patents you're in trouble.
Why not both? Haven't slashdotters always said the best security is both something you know (your password) and something you "have" (your face).
Someone gets your password, but doesn't look like you: No entry.
As far as 'holding up a picture" you'd think that with 3D becoming the new fad and tiny cameras being cheap. They'd put 2. MacBook Pro 2014 1 camera in each corner and the glasses-less 3D technology.
It's also OpenSource: Note: see mDNSResponder source code at www.macosforge.org, which includes a full implementation of the DNS-SD/mDNS Sleep Proxy Service, available under the Apache 2.0 Open Source license. AND written up as a specification http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-11
Meaning if Linux or *BSD wanted to they too could also have it too. In fact, I'm really hoping that they do because I'd love to not have to send a WOL to my HTPC or Server when I want it to download something. I can just have my sheevaplug wget an address and have it wake itself.
Microsecond trading does *nothing* but fuck things up. If all trades were rounded to the nearest minute you might actually get to make a human decision.
Imagine you were the guy cashing out your retirement fund 0.1s after the crash a month ago caused by a stupid error.
When he looked at the stock price, it said $50. But by time the order was placed it was worth $10.

I talked to an accountant friend once and the 'little guy' always gets screwed. Little guys can't do after market trading. Imagine at close of business everything is fine and dandy. News breaks out that there has been an oil spill, etc. All the big boys in it for the $$$ gets to dump all his stock asap, everyone else has to wait until the morning when the NYSE opens.
Is it any wonder that how good Flash for OS X is, Steve banned them from the iP* devices? I don't know how Flash runs on Linux, but on my Mac more than 1-2 youpo^H^H tube videos up in tabs and my fans are maxed out.
Someone in the Linux community needs to step up tell Adobe to shove it like Apple did and start working towards an HTML5 future.
My 1.6 gHz Celeron will play 1080p with 0 skipping. Granted I have an Nvidia GT220 that does VDPAU, but you don't need a fast CPU.
The awesome guys over at xbmc are working on wrapping up a huge merge to release 10.05 that should bring VDPAU, VAAPI, and BroadCom decoder support. Once Again, you DON NOT need a fast CPU.
Acer Revo 1600s can be found for around $150 refurbed or used. People get them working with XBMC with minimal problems.
Or if you want to hold on, supposedly there are rumors of people getting XBMC running on a PopCorn hour, running on a BeagleBoard is a Google SoC project.

For those that aren't privy to American Football. Apparently some guy with the number 85, renamed himself 85.

My drier comes with a timer. Just like about every other device in my house (Coffee maker, dishwasher, washer, etc.)

It's an Apache 2.0 license probably just for that reason:

OOo imagine the porn.
A SheevaPlug draws 2.3w idle no attached devices, 7.0w running at 100% CPU utilization.
You could literally hide it in your server rack (just don't lose it)
Sadly winter never hits the south.

Matlab (no h) is very much most highschool math. Heck what it is used for is shot more towards Graduate level courses and above.
I mean I suppose you could pay $10k seat for matrix algebra.
Maple would be closer to what a highschool student needed.
Windows devices.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Oops: VAAPI
Copy must not have taken and of course I don't proof read.
XBMC has it integrated. 10.6.3 came out on March 29th. and XBMC had it a week later. Come on Adobe.
They also manage to have acceleration in linux with both VDPAU and VAAPI.
Not everywhere:
Man Wins $1.5M Over Profane Debt Collection Calls
Man Out For Repoman's Blood (Listen To Their Calls)
Unless the case IS the heat sink.

You have plenty of options.
You're not doing anything wrong, right? You should have nothing to hide.
