Economies of scale: Per kw, whatever ROI you can achieve, it's safe to assume the local power company can generate a lot more energy to both resell and profit cheaper than what you can. That, and you don't have to worry about the 20 year lifespan of equipment, maintenance, and payback. If solar technology is really being mass-produce on the cheap, I'd expect a wider adoption of utility provided solar vs the home owner taking on this investment.
I live in a single story home that's almost 2,000 sq ft. West of Houston, TX (Katy) where it often gets hot an humid, my electric bill goes anywhere from $85 to $160 per month depending on time of year. I've heard that older homes in Houston of the same sq ft costing $500+ in electricity in the summertime.
Depending on the value of the land the house is built on, it can be cheaper/better to just tear down and rebuild. And in many cases, people are doing exactly that! When I explain the concept of replacing and old home with new, it's a major shocker to people in other states. I get that look like I've just described warp field physics "un-fucking believable!!!" and "No way!!!" Umm, homes have a finite life like anything else. If it's cost effective to do so, don't renovate, just raze the fucker to the ground and rebuild!
Like Obama, Trump is a cult of personality. Trump is a flip-flopper on issues and will soon implode on one of his many gaffes. Rick Perry got shoved out, Cruz is a worm that turns (can't be trusted), and all other candidates (save maybe Scott Walker), are pro H1B immigration.
Meanwhile on the Democrat side; Sanders won't get far in the debates, and in fact is so weak that he caved instantly on the BLM takeover of his speech. Imagine how he will stand up to foreign aggressors like Russia. Hillary Clinton might be behind bars. Biden is a joke that's running, which is a spin on a running joke. And Gore has an ego so big his head won't fit through a door to participate in any debate.
What I strongly suspect is that there will be a campaign reboot v2.0 on both sides. We could very well end up with Rick Perry up against Jim Webb come election time.
Ebola is by nature hemorrhagic. That means it destroys cell. So when parts of your nervous system gets turned to mush, is it any wonder why Ebola survivors suffer all sorts of pain and mental issues? Hell no!
The body can heal, but it never heals the way it was before. It's the delta changes in before and after that's the long lasting lingering effects.
With the tool being able to replace the original tool maker (homo sapiens), what you will get is techno feudalism, resource redistribution, and war over said allotment
There's a reason the UN is pushing for Agenda 21. They're will be too many people on this planet that won't be contributory AT ALL to civilization. Now as to who stays and who goes???
If Microsoft would finally release the -long overdue- SP3 for Windows 7, we wouldn't have half the problems with Windows Updates. In the meantime, performing a Disk Cleanup to prune the old Windows Updates from the WinSxS folder does help. If you've never done it before, it can take a while the first time around.
You sure you're not talking about TPM being updated with the BIOS update package?? I've never heard of a trusted CPU updates, and usually the OS takes over the microcode after it boots.
With PRISM compliant devices, there will always be a backdoor for the government to police your equipment for you citizen. You're in safe hands. No need to trouble you with such things from now on.
And so it begins. Either all devices become PRISM compliant with a backdoor, or Apple/Google staff an entire department whom only purpose is to fulfill access request. This naturally will increase the cost of said products, increase in taxes to pay for manpower, or both.
Under the civil remedies provision of the Antiterrorism Act (18 U.S. Code 2333), victims of international terrorism can sue, Lawfare explains, adding that an act violating criminal law is required to meet section definitions. Courts have found material support crimes satisfy this criteria. Because Apple was previously warned of potential threats to national security, specifically the danger of loss of life, it could be found to have provided material support to the theoretical terrorist.
The authors point out that Apple would most likely be open liability under 2333 for violating 18 USC 2339A, which makes it a crime to "provide[] material support or resources... knowing or intending that they are to be used in preparation for, or in carrying out" a terrorist attack or other listed criminal activity. Communications equipment is specifically mentioned in the statute.
No, they're Taiwanese. Only three things could make it Chinese.
1. Foxconn moves to, or is sold off to China. 2. Taiwan re-unifies with China under its own volition via diplomatic agreement. 3. WAR! China takes Taiwan.
I'm sure they'll release a custom Windows 10 PCI edition that can only be sold to POS (Point of Sales) integrators and whatnot that need to stay compliant.
I've had someone once call claiming they were my bank and wanted to verify personal information and my CC on file; they sounded very professional about it. It was a scam as no bank that I know of would do that. I told them that I couldn't talk to you, and that I would call the bank back. And I did with a legitimate phone number readily available.
When the global birth rate and graduation rate is higher than the number of jobs required and/or needed, wages -which represents labor- will continue to go done all while debt of a fiat currency continues to climb. Eventually, total economic collapse....as we know it. Life will continue to go on, but a new system/paradigm will replace it IMHO.
As yourself this: what happens when robotics and AI can supply all the world what it needs with only 1% of humans employed? Do the remaining 99% unemployed get a portion of the products produced, or does the remaining 1% kill off the 99% now that they're "parasitic" to the planet??
That's the idea with Vloging (Video blogging), just record 24/7 and only index the relevant events in real-time. Then go back and publish the important edited bits online. It's basically what Youtube is for. Just imagine a Looxcie LX2 with a lot more flash storage and battery life. Done and Done!

I love how Google will search index HP printers exposed online. Eventually someone will print out ream of porn, if they haven't already done so.
If it's a real POS, then most assuredly it will hack you to pieces in a bad wreck.

In America, You just described "upper middle class" (professional class; doctors, lawyers, engineers).
There's also "middle class" and "lower middle class".

Which is far more giving than the people whom wouldn't give a shit...no wait...
I don't use Flash, so is it not all in the transcript?

Why can't this be done at the firewall level? Even an in-line networking appliance specific to the task would be worth while.
Actually, I did just that. I asked them if there was any other activity on my account within the last hour
I'm sure they'll release a custom Windows 10 PCI edition that can only be sold to POS (Point of Sales) integrators and whatnot that need to stay compliant.
Duh! It's part of the shell. Cortana is right up there with explorer.exe; you can really use the OS without it.

I'm surprised they haven't made a sundial made out a pointing Dear Leader statue.
War isn't initiated to reduce warm bodies, it serves primarily as a distraction to keep those in power, remaining in power.

At least it will run like a bat out of hell on newer hardware :)
