In the world I live in we have these things called poor people. They drive 10 year old beaters in need of a tune up that get lousy mileage. They live in crappy neigborhoods where there are no jobs and so drive their junkers way more miles than they should. They spend a much higher percentage of their income on gasoline than you do. If the price of gas doubled there would be a _lot_ of really angry people. Not to mention what it would do to the price of food and everything else.
Except that our capacity problem is during the afternoons, not at night. Changing to CFL's will likely do little to solve the capacity problem.
I also am seeing my name brand CFL's burn out as quick or quicker than my incandescents. It's gotten so bad I've started writing the dates on them so I can keep track of exactly how early they went.
If you actually use your machine there's not near enough room to start everything from the taskbar. It's annoying to have to jump through hoops to get quicklaunch back. I have 35 icons in quicklaunch right now.
I don't mind windows 8 too much. I don't run any metro apps and so the only real difference I notice with 8 is the start menu is full screen and I have to hit the windows key to get there. They do need some better management tools for it. I somehow ended up with 30 extra tiles and the only way I could figure out how to get rid of them was to do them 1 at a time.
There is a real problem though if you do accidentally open a metro app. There's no obvious way to close it. I had to google it to find out how. That is completely unintuitive.
I actually like Win8 better than 7. There are things I don't like, but I'm so happy to get the up button back in file explorer I can overlook them.
If you don't run metro apps you can pretty much just ignore the metro stuff and the only thing you notice is the start menu is now full screen instead of just a menu. It still works about the same, and the old one was too small anyway.
Of course when the best new feature of an OS is they put back something they removed from the last version then there's something wrong.
One thing that did make me really angry, though, was when I accidentally opened a metro app. (I'd forgotten to install my own pdf reader) There's no obvious way to close the app! I had to google how to close the program. So yeah, I don't see many businesses installing this one.
I've tried Linux several times over the years and wanted to like it but been beaten back to windows each time. It does not "just work." I remember my first attempt which was Correl which was supposed to be so easy. It did install easier than windows, once I got the recommended hardware and was easy to use. But every time the power went off it would no longer boot to the desktop, it was strictly CLI until I could read enough man pages to get the disk check going. It's the little things like that that chase us back to windows.
This is clearly not true. Christians believe that all people sin. That is why Jesus's death was necessary.
I know several Christians that believe in evolution. There are several ways to resolve any perceived conflicts. Even if you want to think that god created the earth a short time ago, you can still believe that he created it with fossils, etc, and evolution continued from that point.
Yep, at my last job the bums would throw a brick through your window to get the change out of the ash trays. I learned my lesson years ago. I had a brand new convertible top cut open at the mall so they could unlock the door and steel a pair of $15 speakers. Now I always leave the doors unlocked unless there's kids playing around and I want to keep them out. That's all car locks are good for.
I quit using them for a different reason. I rented a movie and couldn't return it because the box was full. I drove all over town for 3 days trying to return the stupid thing.
The first issue is they've gone to a level of detail where there are an infinite number of possible reasons, but they only have 140,000 different code. Sometimes there will be a code that fits exactly. It seems more likely though that there will be several that are close but nothing exactly right.
Secondly the chances of finding the exactly correct code out of 140,000 codes in a reasonable length of time seems pretty small.
And finally the person entering the data most likely does not care how accurate it is, they just want to get something entered and move on. They aren't going to spend 5 minutes looking for a code.
In theory the resulting data would be very useful for someone I'm sure. In practice I suspect it will be the opposite.
On the other hand there's the risk that you didn't get last months update, or the binder has two page 32's and no page 31. With 38 pounds of manuals to collate I'm sure some of them get messed up. My guess is the Ipad is more reliable.
What you're missing is when US politicians ( Rep & Dem both) say spending cut what they actually mean is a reduction in the increase. if your budget last year was 8 million and this year it's 10 million then next years budget of 11 million is considered a spending cut. They've actually increased spending by a 1 million but they've managed to call it a cut. With this kind of mentality you can see why we're in this mess. I have no doubt that any cuts by the Dems will be more of the same.
It hasn't happened yet and it's not likely to on its on. I just had records from my doctor sent to a specialist. It took 6 weeks. There's no incentive for my doctor's office to speed this up. If anything the incentive is to make it more difficult so you won't change doctors.
If he was just ripping off two other engines, why did his win?
Remember the netflix competetion? Every time they absorbed a competitor their score went up slightly. In the end it seemed like the winner was the one that could combine the most teams the fastest.
Did you even read the results? I only read a couple of pages and I was convinced. Sure, you might have the same functions that do similar things, but having the same inputs in the same order?
That was my immediate thought. I'd be OK with the smell of rotting flesh during one scene of a movie. But, I'm not excited about the house smelling like that for an indefinite period of time.
I rented a lame dvd for the kids. I went back to McD's to return it and the machine wouldn't take it because the box was full. Drove across town to two other boxes with the same result. Same thing the next day, and the next. So I payed for 3 days, and drove all over town 3 times for a movie I could have bought at the cutout bin for 99c. Their website says I'm responsible for charges until it's returned. I don't know if this is some kind of freak lightning strike miracle or happens all the time, either way, I'm done.
With windows mobile you get multitasking, copy paste, thousands of apps you can download for free off the internet. Ability to easily write new apps in winforms on any old visual studio you have laying around. And a ui that's totally familiar.
With WP7 you don't. Which is why I just bought a windows mobile device.
And now that they've started talking about Windows 8 and coding it in html5 I would guess we can stick a fork in WP7.
I had this conversation with my vice president one time. He told me raises were given out as a percentage, and it just was not possible to go over x percent. Once I put my 2 weeks notice in it was a different situation as I could be treated as a new hire and he had complete freedom to pay what he wanted.
Of course the problem is I'm not going to put my notice in until I already have a start date at a new job. And if I already have a start date I've already committed to a new job and I'm not likely to back out.

It's not even a survey it's a giant troll. It's clearly wrong on several counts.
That's not what it says. With a receipt they will still scan your drivers license.
In the state I'm in at least, any email lists are public record and due to Sunshine laws available to anyone that asks for them.
Yeah, if that's your position you need to admit Uncle Fester is right and you need a CS degree to run an andrioid phone.

Shouldn't the people that fly pay the costs themselves? Between the TSA and the FAA and all the other subsidies I'm sure it adds up fast.

In win7 clicking the left button shows the existing app, clicking the middle button opens a new version of the app.

If it were me I'd start releasing automated warnings every morning.
