It should be noted that aluminum wire is used constantly in homes in the USA right now. It is just limited to systems above 50A draw.
So your electric or induction stove. yea that is probably wired with aluminum. Your clothes dryer most likely not. The main supply lines for your home yep aluminum too. You have a sub panel, that is most likely being feed with aluminum. it wouldn't be hard to guess that the installer used aluminum even if the instructions say not to feed it with aluminum as I have seen that far to often. The scariest was stand by generators that say must use copper wiring, have copper hooked up for the last couple of feet but that junctions into a box with you guessed it aluminum
the idiot bike mechanic didn't demonstrate their flying machine for 3 years so they could work the bugs out of it. When they finally did demonstrate to the public a flying machine it took off from a level surface flew around the field a couple of times and landed where it started from. Then they started taking passengers up.
Now a days their first flight would have ben hailed, scrutinized and when they didn't deliver a fully functional fighter jet 6 months later ridiculed.
Actually from what I have seen Europe is slowly turning into the united European states. It won't be this generation or the next but when the current kids are running the show It will be talked about more openly.
First comes money sharing, then power sharing, and finally people sharing. as people are more inclined to move around for jobs over time the viewpoint no one wants a united europe will slowly fall to the side.
You would rather vote for some one who would lie to you about their Intention's? The first thing republicans do in office isn't to make a smaller government. It is to force Christian values on everyone. Usually in government run and paid for systems.
The "right" only say they want to reduce prower, but in reality want to expand it as much as the "Left"
Take the TSA, Dept of Homeland Security, etc. Or if you want something more recent the "right" republican author of the patriot is pissed the law is being used the way it is. He thinks it is gross over step and proposed a law to change it. His solution? Spend tens of millions of dollars annually on high priced lawyers with top secret clearances to act as a legal advocate for the people so it wouldn't just be the NSA and the judge in FISA court room.
If you actually believe in the bullshit about power reduction then you are a fucking idiot. Because not one of their laws actually will reduce government power. They just want to push that power to the corporations. The "spending" cuts basically only take away services that the poor use. while taxing them for the privilege of being able to use the remaining. If the "Right" really wanted smaller government the the DHS, TSA, and DOD each need to be cut in half. Cut those down and i will agree to cut equal cuts elsewhere.
But no one on the "right" will ever actually make the government smaller just shuffle it around so their Rich friends gets all the benefits.
Pandora, spotify and web streaming stations pay 5 times what a radio station does for the ability to play
This is the problem is the recording studios purposely created higher fees for web based companies while exempting existing radio stations initially. When the Riaa came down on radio stations to boost those rates too secret deals were made. Now we are seeing the unsustainable rates imposed by the riaa come to fruition.
Let me introduce you to Strom thrum good who was a democrat and became a republican during his 40 plus yeasts in office.
Today it is democrats who stand up for the people(generally).
Both however a more beholden to corporate interests than citizens. Democrats back the copyright/entertainment industries and gave us dcma and trying to export it
Republicans won't touch the militar industrial complex even though it was a republican war leader who warned us about it(Ike).
Pick your poison the moderates are fiscally conservative but socially liberal as that is the only way to advance society
If this was expanded properly we can get the law overturned..
Just tell teabaggers that they have to pay extra to watch Rush Limbaugh and fox news over the internet as their cable company and rush haven't come to an agreement in how much rush and fox have to pay.
Everyone uses Netflix. Tell people they now have to pay three times for access to fox mews and see how long this lasts
you are missing the point. the recording studios killed the album for sales. they did this in the 80's and 90's. Sure a couple of groups put together actual albums but mainly they are just a group of randomly selected 3 minute clips like custom mix tapes only containing one artist.(sorry custom mix playlists containing one artist, for those born after 1990) People got used to buying singles, and albums for one track long before napster was ever dreamed up. So when mass distribution of music started happening singles was how it was done.
Besides 90% of the music today are 3 minute pieces that have no bearing on anything else produced but the teams of writers. Every once in a while you get an album thoughtfully put together, but mostly it is just random songs stuck together so they can sell another "album"
a couple of others explained it closer to physics but lets take your example and run with it.
You have two cards one with an A the other with a B . You insert each card into an envelope. You mail each in separate directions. at one destination you open to envelope and you have an A face up and facing towards you. You know that there is a B in the other evenlope but you don't know which way the card is facing in regards to opening the even lope.(facing you, upside down, backwards or some combination of those traits.
Pots is good because it is more reliable(which I question sometimes)
Wouldn't cell towers that can mesh network with each other be a better service and faster to get up and running? With regulations every tower must have 36 hours of local run time at full load?
The real reason cell towers fail is that they were cheaply built. Expanding their roles to handle more of the switching duties would only be a good thing.
why? 90% of ad revenue is falsely generated anyways?
I never ever click on an AD link on purpose. Even if on the rare occasion the ad shows me something useful I navigate to the site manually. just to avoid clicking on the link.
I google search for say LLbean. I don't click on links 1-3 I scroll past those advertising ones and just go to the generic link below.
That's just it there aren't 12 million more bitcoins to mine.
There are a finite number of bitcoins and once they are mined bitcoins are done.
The author is an idiot. The real issue with bitcoins is that losses can't be replaced. Just yesterday some one reported throwing out a wallet with 75,000 bitcoins. Those coins are permantly out of circulation. While it helps boost the value today eventually enough coins will be lost that bitcoins will become useless.
the thing is I have seen a vehicle burst into flames for no "apparent" reason.
a faulty voltage regulator can burst into flames even when the vehicle is off. Now it has to be faulty in just the right way but it can happen.
I also started a car fire once. a guy needed a jump so I hooked up the cables he turned over his truck just as the engine caught the voltage regulator melted it's plastic housing and then started burning the oil and grease on the case.
So far tesla's have to have physical damage to the battery packs and even then they warn you to pull over immediately to which the drivers are ignoring.
ah but if you eat right you can do that and lose weight.
My old job I was on my feet all day, lifting heavy loads constantly.( i could carry 120lbs a quarter mile, walk back and do it again) I usually had a large lunch, minimal breakfast and dinner. I gained on average 1-2 pounds a year, after 15 years though that adds up.
I moved changed jobs and diet. I know sit in an office for 8 hours a day. I walk maybe 500meters on the average day. I still eat a minimal breakfast, but lunch is now a yogurt, and maybe a snack bar if I get hungry in the afternoon. Dinner is usually a salad and small portion of chicken/steak/ etc).
I have been steadily losing weight with that switch.
it is why most diets fail. because you change up you diet hard, and the week after the diet ends you return to eating the same portions/foods you were before. Change you diet long term and watch the pounds stay off.
the manufacturers don't even need to do that. they need probably $5 in wiring/ chips, and a one time design fee for programming of the LCD display tech.
Exactly why don't cars have an option that tells you what idiot lights are lit and what they mean? The service engine soon light can come on if the gas cap isn't on correctly. How is the average person supposed to know?
I don't know the first emperor of china managed to be buried with his army and that is still around.
Hiding under a mountain means that most people will walk all over it and not see it which prevents "most" tomb raiders (just not the hot chick, skin tight clothes wearing variety)
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly. MasterCard and visa don't think saving 5 billion annually in credit card fraud is worth switching to chip and pin.
When you need to to extract billions of dollars annually in raw material costs to make it profitable you need a good reason for businesses.
Maybe moon diamonds would work. But any of the base minerals won't cut it initially

Next up NSA saves companies from being "slashdotted"
Now I wonder what the NSA will save us from after that? If we are lucky maybe fake entertainment stories posted by fox and msnbc that pose as news
Why are you modded insightful?

They do just pick LED's in the 2700 to 3000 color temperature range.
the Philips $24 dollar led lamps are sold in those colors. I have a couple in my floor lamps.
The big advantage of LED vs CFL is you can dim LED's like you can incandescents.
You would rather vote for some one who would lie to you about their Intention's?

in the ars article it mentions the coolant valves as one of 14 problems that come up regularly and are expected to be issues now and in the future.
or for a car analogy, even though you change your oil on a regular basis every once in a while you have to change the transmission oil too.
The register is well known for making shit up for fun. they are far more subtle at it compared to the onion but truthful journalism they are not.
of course if you want truthful journalism you can't listen to anybody in the USA, or most of the other worlds major news companies.

you do realize each state has their own carry concealed laws and they are not compatible with each other right?
So your license to carry a gun in TX is fine, but you get arrested for it in the other 49 states.
we talk about having one set of gun laws, but we have 51 sets of guns laws(50 states and then federal)
