Please install an antivirus package on that computer. Then set it up for automatic updates of both Windows and the antivirus. There are several good options for "free" or low cost packages that usually include some malware and spyware protection. AVG, Avast, NOD32 are fair examples.
It's not limited to IT. We matched last years numbers (which were record setting, by the way) and increased profitability. But... because our sister division's numbers sucked, No bonus for us, expansion is on hold, and capital expendatures on equipment we need for production is on hold. Meanwhile the parent corporation is buying up compatible businesses. So, why was it we busted our collective asses this year? Someone?
Bullet ridden corpse isn't explicit enough. For clarity you MUST place their severed head on a pike in public view near the city gates, in front of city hall, or the Capital building as is appropriate. You must then give a public declaration explaining that this is how all who commit similar crimes will be treated. Finally, you must send a public decree to all parts of the land, along with proof that of the seriousness of the decree (a severed limb might suffice).
Absolutely. I was merely speaking to a civilian disaster scenario where military resources are not the front line support. Military requirements (and capabilities) are very different.
It wouldn't really help that much in disaster areas. You still need to get the collector trucked in, land cleared, collector setup and connected to a load like a hospital, shelter, local grid, etc. You could just as easily bring in a diesel generator on a truck, or for that matter, a small self contained nuclear power plant ('tis possible), if you could get the truck(s) into the disaster area in the first place.
large cisterns collecting water runoff at the perimeter would solve the issue of sourcing the water. piping it into the dome could be gravity feed. Then all you need pumps for is the lift to the sprinklers.
Insects could be brought in as needed. Birds could be supported as well. Migratory birds would be excluded; or, simply stay as they do here in south-east Virginia now that they've found the artificially warmed climate to be to their liking. (plenty of Ducks and Geese can't be bothered to fly south here)
While it's true he said that, he also said he had not seen a post WWII house with 2-prong outlets. They were used up through the early '60's here until the building code forced the change. fwiw, my city tends to be one rev behind on the NEC code.
For all those idiots who keep saying 110/120 V is not lethal, I have a classmate whose father would like to disagree with you (but he can't because he is dead).
The British standard of using a ring circuit instead of many branch circuits was put in place immediately after WWII. They had to rebuild a significant fraction of the country and this method required less raw materials.
The fuse isn't a substitute for GFCI or AFCI. It's there because in the UK they run one 230V 30A ring circuit and put the onus for circuit protection in the plug. They do not run separate circuits for each room (or in some cases each outlet) to the main panel like we do in the U.S. By the way, fuses are better than circuit breakers because the act faster.
That A/C is either wired out wrong or what you are calling a neutral is a case ground. If there is return current on the neutral (which is what makes it a neutral) then it was definitely wired wrong and you need to get an electrician out there to redo it.
Well that's certainly an improvement over the behaviour of all of my previous vehicles. Now I'll have to look at my wife's 2003 Honda to see if they implemented something similar in it.
Unless you are overloading the circuit, that almost certainly has nothing to do with the appliance.
Mine does this. I have an older house where the original portion of the house was all wired (daisy-chain) on only two 20 amp circuits. If I plug in a 10 amp vacuum or an iron, the lights in the front half of the house dim. It's certainly not up to modern code; but, this is pretty typical of these pre-60's or pre-70's houses that have not been re-wired yet.
That's not entirely true. The neutral has a current running through it and therefore is at an elevated voltage. The independant ground should have no current running through it and should be at ground potential. You can't rely on the neutral for safety. I have seen them floating as high as 8 volts due to IR drop in the system. Relying on the neutral to be a ground, you could easily become the return path for all the current.

It's starting to look like HP deserves the Borg moniquer more than Microsoft does.

Even then, a few people won't get the point.

Technically, DC is not part of Virginia.
We need some of that volcanic activity here in Virginia. Why, we haven't had a good volcano in, well, 40-50 million years. About time I say!

Nope. I had to replace all the outlets when we moved in (with new 2-prong outlets). House is done in 2 conductor, no grounds.

It was the standard until a guy named Hubbell came along and invented a plugable connection that "any average man could safely use".
You realize that the American socket design dates back to 1908, don't you? It predates the British design by 40 years.

There are quite a few U.S. houses built in the 50's with 2-prong outlets. Mine is one.
The bedroom one is not a GFCI (ground fault circuit interruptor). It is AFCI (arc fault circuit interruptor).
Is there such a thing as a 220v GFCI outlet?
Yes.
if the behavior changed or is not normal, then either the sensor of the control motor has a bad spot. get it fixed.
