You will find that you heat pump takes a real dive as temperatures approach freezing, getting heat out of the environment without freezing up becomes an impossibility. So other forms of heating are required. Typical incandescent lamps are crap because of their low life characteristics and should be banned for that if nothing else (how come incandescent lights burn out at the drop of a hat and I have an old bar heater that was old when I was young and I am getting well past middle aged). Besides everyone knows they don't give a crap about the bulbs as they are all coming from China anyhow, they are just playing the 'NO' game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtMV44yoXZ0.
Believe it or not, free speech matters a great deal to computer nerds and geeks. Computers for us is all about expression not all about consumption and being free to express what ever we choose to express within reason is very import, up to and including expressing our dislike for all those who would suppress us. I believe you might have forgotten but the church has a terrible history of burning us intellectually driven types at the stake, so yeah those of us who know a little history will for ever be sticking it to religions to keep the buggers down and make sure they never get the opportunity to torture to death future generations of computer geeks and nerds. We know who our enemy is, history has taught us our enemy, it is ignorance and those who would exploit it for their own personal gain. The core of being able to perpetuate ignorance has always been religion and compulsory religion has been the worst offender.
Don't believe the idiot commercials. On a hot day, to quench your thirst either drink some clean fresh water or some watered down fruit juice (fruit without the roughage is just too much sugar). Once your thirst is actually substantively quenched sit down and enjoy your beer. You do not buy or drink beer to quench your thirst, you drink it for the alcohol and because you prefer it over other forms of alcohol.
It would have been neat if they had also shown the percentage of sales tax et al that impacted the beer price, to get a better idea of how much beer drinker were subsidising there state and federal governments. Considering brew your own is legal in most countries where beer is legal and you can avoid the tax, be your own nano-brewery.
Gees dude do you know your mathematics at all 1%. Population of the US 311,591,917 - Jul 2011, now that's 311,592 people and if you think that population can sustain 311 thousand super rich, you have no understanding at all about the impact of parasites upon their supporting organisms. Long before you can achieve anywhere near that number the supporting organism will collapse and the parasites along with all others will die.
So 1% can also relate to the nominal percentage of psychopaths as well as rich tax cheats, as they both tend to correlate in today's capitalist society. A destructive element who can not see beyond their own greed and ego and who have a total disregard for the community. Face it, through lobbyists and corruption the US will be stuck with crap internet for years to come, no signs of real broadband until say 2025. Basically the copper network will have to degrade to a point of collapse with land line services being generally disrupted and people having to rely on mobile only.
Even then Federal and State governments will struggle to get fibre to the home as the mobile operators will lobby against it because it will impact their profit margins. "YOU ARE SCREWED" end of story, suck it up because there is not escape.
Read the article and certainly the utility is way out of order in not promoting energy efficiency. M$ here's a smart move to make take over the local communities sewerage processing and implement methane maximisation through digestion and collection. Use the methane in those diesel generators, implement some co-generation, making use of the heat output in say in a sports centre, heated pool et al and really work up that energy efficiency. No need to ever rest on your laurels.
For the energy company, discounting to silly levels to please the state and local community it what will only be a temporary labour solution as M$ will inevitably move on at the end of the effective life of the building.
Trying to recover that lost state income by anti-conservationist practice is just in the worst taste imaginable. When are individual going to be able to cheat on state and local taxes just like corporations do by threatening to move out. Seriously there should be a Federal law to block state and local tax evasion as it affects cross state boundary transaction. All are meant to be equal under the law and that should include states and local communities, equal application of state and community taxes should be mandated just ask Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan (yeah I know they only mean it when it comes to sticking it to the poor when the rich cheating on state and local taxes it is AOK with those two).
The most appropriate thing here is the marketing analogy. Endless pointless articles about the new iPhone that's better than all the other iPhones because 'er' it makes Apple even more money. I stumbled across another article practically drooling over the new Apple proprietary connector because the plug can get stuck in either way because so many people stick their phone in backwards in a dock with the screen facing away from them (the last bit of snark is mine). Go away with the marketing Apple trying to generate the 'Cool' is dead for you, you blew it in court with those idiotic patents and trying to shut down competitors through the courts (face it in every movie et al since the beginning of time that is the tactic of the black hat bad guy). This marketing route was sort of OK through all the other iterations of iPhone but now it is just plain annoying.
P.S. I forgot to mention that SA is an on the spot fine for possession of cannabis whether harvested or not, with limits on quantities, not knowing Steve's inclinations with regard to recreational substances, this might or might not swing his decision or anyone else's out there. SA is considered pretty laid back, Australia's biggest country town, for a reason;).
There is a reason for that vague. From the own mouths they said, in the majority they do not get the votes of the educated elite. So, they with their second rate election team, spend the appropriate amount of time on creating illusionary policies. The amount of effort results in the simplest and vaguest nothings. Now if we were part of the more likely to vote for them crowd, then their corporate public relations teams would spend more time coming up with more accurate nothings to vote for them.
As far as they are concerned you are not going to vote for them, so they are not going to waste time with you, how ever as we are a bunch of smart arses they will also not go out of the way to offend us prior to election time. The from the gut bullshit, the educated elite always trying to tell everyone what to do bullshit, the liberal elite bullshit, the being smart is un-American bullshit and, the smart specialists cost to much let's import cheap third worlders bullshit that's all post election or behind closed doors. Make no mistake they hate us, they did so since high school, the remorselessly picked on the physically weakest of us, the toughest they avoided completely as we were doubly threatening. That hate and jealously they have carried with them into an immature adult hood, surely you must have noticed by now.
To accelerate the process there is actually a not well publicised side route. First step choose your state, Honestly for Steve Wonzniak I would recommend South Australia and Adelaide, as the ideal choice, his sort of speed and environment. Once state choice is made, you look for state sponsored immigration ie employment roles the state needs fulfilled for accelerated immigration. In Steve's case, not so much the employee but as an employer would very likely see his immigration accelerated weeks versus months or years (yep for the unskilled and un-needed, years).
So money alone is not the answer, knowing the accelerated means of immigration are. State employment opportunities, employer sponsored opportunities, family based and as always the marriage route. I was often surprised when dealing with foreign corporations, they would bring in a foreign expert for a few months and you would work through the project. The next thing you know a few months after the project ends, the foreign expert contacts you from different company, you find out they used that temporary employment visa to extend into permanent migration and quit their original company because there were no permanent positions available. The weather gets them, snow is great for holidays but living in it can be a pain.
I assume you are pointing out that when water has salt in solution it is more dense than water without salt in solution. However shallow thinker when you add fresh water to salty water, you do not have fresh water plus salty water, you have slightly less salty water. Sea water while salty is far from saturation point, and salt will not automatically appear in the melty ice to balance out sea water, the two will mix and you will achieve balance, no change in sea level.
So it has to be ice melt from land. The real problems the scientist are alluding to is a huge rise in methane as a result of thawing permafrost, rotting flood caused debris and rotting storm debris. Huge rises in methane have caused scientists to re-evaluate the nature of the end of the last ice age, rather than being gradual from start to finish. It was gradual in the beginning, the rapidly accelerated due to increased methane levels and the slowed again until it re-stabilised. So whilst the total remains the same rather than slow all the way through, slow, fast, slow is likely more accurately. That fast bit in the middle could be quite destructive as it allows significantly less time to adapt to the changes.
The argument against corporal punishment is it instils in society the benefit of an immediate assault for every affront. Gees, why bother with expensive courts, allow families to resolve the matter themselves, there's nothing like a good old hill billy feud to 'er' resolve things.
So law and justice are expensive because there no simple knee jerk reactions that actual provide any thing of value. Justice must be seen by the public to be observed (we don't trust government on this, they must publicly prove it), costly rehabilitation is required to reduce the likely hood of repetition (because it is still cheaper then repetition) and, you don't make examples of people because unjustly you are punishing them for crimes other people might commit (now that is really is crazy thinking).
The law is the agreed and accepted bureaucratic definition of peoples shared morals and needs to be equally applied to ensure relevance. It is expensive and requires many peoples efforts to achieve, doing it on the cheap, just results in corruption and eventual break down of law and order.
Look on the funny side. Imagine feed based sales. A sales representative makes an appointment with a customer, a secretary leaks it to 'salesbook'. Instead of one sales representative turning up to the customers office, 10, arrive all clamouring for a meeting. That's crazy insane competition thinking, real world that's a pissed off customer harassed by idiots. How about architecture where anybody, including the customer can start adding bits to the plans, that building will stand up, achieve budget and be built on time, with an architect proud of the result, 'not'.
There seems to be a sudden burst of greed driven ignorance versus clear thinking professionalism going on out there. I'm thinking that some of that bullshit politshpere from the gut thinking is start to leak into the business world. Facebook, a social networking fad, no different to myspace, instead of one sucker buying it 'Newscorp' a whole bunch of suckers bought it.
Currently Facebook most horrendous mistake is not using their junkbond shares to buy up other companies that actually have a long term future. Make hay while the sun shines. If the market wants to accept the value of those shares then bloody use them to buy up what ever you can while you can and forget the silly talk.
Perhaps the error is in the password output itself. It just asks for a password, it doesn't provide any warnings, it doesn't sufficiently suggest a restricted site, keeping in mind this is going to casual end user often not paying much attention to what they are doing. Often sites poorly designed stick up password screens and tell people to use the default password as part of a free trial, with the free access default often 'password' or '123456'.
Poor security is inherent in design and application, lack of real notification and warning and poor implementation of security. We are not talking about opening a door into someone private home, that is clear, the reality is, the password screen is equal to jumping a fence.
Surely in the case of buzzwords being good at them means everything to this company how else would a person with a degree in political science end up in charge of a software company. So it has nothing to do with coding, it's all about buzzwords, which are the good javascript coding ones and when and how to stick them in communications.
Somehow I think something deeply delusional is going on. If everyone in the company learns how to code then we can sack all of the coding only staff, think of the money I will make, lead the world in software production. Shit this dud was on the John McCain election team, part of the least go with Sarah Palin mob. Now, don't tell that isn't something that someone with a degree in political science would dream up especially a Republican.
Gees don't believe the marketing lie targeted at people buying marketing. The whole tracking thing, was a yarn, spin to make internet advertising seem better than old world mass media advertising (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines). Also it is a very cunning means by which to cut advertising placements costs.
Reality is adds should always be targeted at the content not at people, the slip right through subconsciously when the align with the content the end user is perusing. Catch is all the content must be previewed to ensure correct add placement and that's a ton of stuff or a highly complex categorisation system to semi-automate it which will fail as greedy idiots will abuse it.
So tracking is nothing but perverted wet dreams of privacy invasive freaks sold onto people buying marketing with the hopes of being able to control peoples purchasing decisions, we will all become mass consumption zombies sold off to the highest bidder.
There is absolutely no point to tracking, want better ad placement then hire the staff to review content and ads and ensure they align. Hire the staff to communicate with content creators to ensure the content creators are happy with the ads being associated with their content. People buying adds need to hire staff to ensure their adds are being placed will. Come up with multiple views, so people buying adds can monitor their placement and make changes as they see fit based on outcomes and cost.
Tacking default should legally be off and a request should need to be made to use it and it should be confirmed upon a regular basis, even monthly.
It has been solidly proven that Apple copied every else on the iPhone, stop repeating the same lies over and over and over again. This is not an Apple political forum. The patents were bullshit and everybody knows it, simply a straight up delaying tactic to keep competing products out of the market for as long as possible. You are not seeing the counter business tactic, cripple Apple's access to the market to accelerate 'competing', read that. 'competing' products access to the market. It's all about consumer choice not some bullshit Apple monopoly.
Your poll is totally revealing of the sheep syndrome that somehow the majority must follow the minority because it is profitable for the minority, how about some disclosure when you have a vested interest. Sorry computer geeks and nerds tend not to be sheep and resist marketing pressures.
Perhaps the most appropriate response here is that, yes slashdot is, 'er' 'overrun' by computer geeks and nerds for whom 'Apple' have very little appeal being under specced over-marketed fashion statements. It's just the way computer geeks and nerds roll, get over it Apple marketdroid, overrun indeed, pfft. Of course blatant marketing biased 'opinions' will be always be targeted and not so much for the content of the opinion but to prevent the forum being flooded with those advertisements 'er' 'opinions' (it's a defence measure).
It's called the inquisition. A time when people where routinely tortured to death for a wrong word. Burned at the stake for espousing un-Godly ideas. You want it back, then let the fundamentalists religionists shut down free expression with threats of violence. If idiots want to tear down their own countries be being goaded by trolls then more power to the trolls.
There is only one way to react to this religious violence, troll the shit out of the idiots until the fellow citizens learn it is smarter to lock up violent religious reactionaries then people who express challenging ideas.
I refuse to be silenced by religious whack jobs. I refuse to allow the rebirth of the religious inquisition in my time. I honestly was largely indifferent to pro or anti-Muslim sentiment until now. The greater the violent reaction to the spread of anti-Muslim ideas then, the more I am for the spread of those anti-Muslim ideas and absolutely no different for any other violent repression of ideas by any other religion, Christian, Hindu etc.
This is exactly why free speech was instituted as law, to protect people from persecution by religious freaks, by those who abuse religion for personal gain, by those who claim superiority through religion. Free speech has it's roots in the resistance against religion, it was the weapon used to tackle the inquisition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition and prevent it from recurring. Based upon the way Muhammad is depicted in the Koran he comes off as a paedophile and a misogynist, a person who created a religion for his own personal benefit.
Should any censorship be allowed when it is being driven by acts of terrorism by out of control mobs. Should we govern ourselves by fear, should we allow others to terrorise us and our families, should we accept curtailing of our culture by threats of physical violence from another culture.
Should the response be, should you desire to destroy your own society by acts of violence than expect to be trolled into extinction. Should we cower or goad them into more and more self destructive acts. Should their threats of violence be allowed to limit our self expression or should we use our self expression to destroy their violence.
Ultimately stirring up the religious hornet nest of paedophiles and misogynists, likely will end up doing more good then harm in the long run. Bit of a rough passage in the interim but ultimately cultural tolerance is a two way street and a violent response is never acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Brown's outspoken activities hardly speak of anonymity, which largely precludes him acting on behalf 'Anonymous', one of the major principles of 'Anonymous' is the acts being protested are the sole focus of the protest and are not about promoting the protester. So to publicly claim to be a spokesperson for 'Anonymous' is more about self promotion and has very little to do with 'Anonymous'.
Although it is beginning to sound like another FBI overreach, threatening to destroy someone is acceptable as long no claims of illegal actions are involved ie there are a range of legal measures of doing so, filing complaints, civil suits. For example the FBI retaliation is an attempt to actively destroy the life of an individual and truly is crossing the border of criminal activity considering the intent. Consider the raid itself, one false move and it is immediate execution basically any excuse for the officer on site to summarily execute the individual will be acted upon. Then there is the direct, pseudo legal physical assault itself, whilst not lethal, there are real attempts to legally inflict permanent harm. Then the expected destruction of personal property and of course kidnapping and extended detention, with psychological torture masquerading as interrogation.
It is expected the FBI will play the legal game and use their knowledge of the courts to extend the case out for as long as possible, inflate bail to enable long term detention and force the individual to effectively pay a major fine masquerading as legal defence costs. In the end, whoops tee hee the FBI girlishly state they got it wrong, all free of penalty for blatant perversion of justice and the legal system. The honour and integrity abandoned for personal ego.
Here let me simplify it for you. The rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities will decide what is and isn't a troll, if you are a nobody then you have nothing to lose be being abused by the rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities. The nobody taxpayers will pay for it all as well as of course the nobodies that dared to troll the rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities, the nobodies will have their houses taken and their families thrown out onto the streets and the be subject to public trolling by the rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities.
It's called the Streisand affect, the more you try to control the nobodies when you are rich, powerful or a pseudo celebrity the more you stand out for kicking the underdog, the more all the billions of other underdogs will bite you back in turn.
So you are saying that Japanese Americans were involved in the attack on Pearl Harbour. So 'er' they trained to fly torpedo and dive bombers, as well as man military ships in the US, prior to joining the Japanese Navy because 'er' 'um' Japan was too primitive and backward to be able to do so on it's own. Of course who could expect the attack would be so successful because the Americans could be so incompetent and so readily mismanage an attack, given the level of warning they had and the conditions of the time ie the world was not a peace but pretty actively at war at the time.
Of course why weren't the German-Americans and the Italian Americans also arrested, surely it wasn't colour at play here. Of course seriously why would a surprise attack be looked at any differently from a heads up we are going to start murdering your citizens attack.
It like fine tuning psychopathy so that torturing people to death is not as bad as torturing them to death and eating them.
As for the mess the DHS has gotten itself into with the transport security, everyone knows exactly why they are holding off any public review for as long as possible, give security freaks a free hand and guess what they'll well and truly suck, it's in their nature and, that without adding scum of the earth lobbyists and corrupt politicians into the mix.
So best tech is a steel hull, as the things most likely to approach you are mostly submerged shipping containers (although technically you approach them) and other major debris, logs major construction components from relatively recent tsunamis.
These can make for a very, very, bad day on a timber or fibreglass yacht.
Of course lots of vessels do so reactively safely so join the lottery. Of course some hint's as to how many will be sailing with you and their physical and mental capabilities would also help define what equipment to recommend.

Easy solution socialise the courts, your defence attorney is strictly luck of the draw. Just watch the quality of public defenders improve.

Reality is adds should always be targeted at the content not at people, the slip right through subconsciously when the align with the content the end user is perusing. Catch is all the content must be previewed to ensure correct add placement and that's a ton of stuff or a highly complex categorisation system to semi-automate it which will fail as greedy idiots will abuse it.
So tracking is nothing but perverted wet dreams of privacy invasive freaks sold onto people buying marketing with the hopes of being able to control peoples purchasing decisions, we will all become mass consumption zombies sold off to the highest bidder.
There is absolutely no point to tracking, want better ad placement then hire the staff to review content and ads and ensure they align. Hire the staff to communicate with content creators to ensure the content creators are happy with the ads being associated with their content. People buying adds need to hire staff to ensure their adds are being placed will. Come up with multiple views, so people buying adds can monitor their placement and make changes as they see fit based on outcomes and cost.
Tacking default should legally be off and a request should need to be made to use it and it should be confirmed upon a regular basis, even monthly.
It has been solidly proven that Apple copied every else on the iPhone, stop repeating the same lies over and over and over again. This is not an Apple political forum. The patents were bullshit and everybody knows it, simply a straight up delaying tactic to keep competing products out of the market for as long as possible. You are not seeing the counter business tactic, cripple Apple's access to the market to accelerate 'competing', read that. 'competing' products access to the market. It's all about consumer choice not some bullshit Apple monopoly.
Your poll is totally revealing of the sheep syndrome that somehow the majority must follow the minority because it is profitable for the minority, how about some disclosure when you have a vested interest. Sorry computer geeks and nerds tend not to be sheep and resist marketing pressures.
Perhaps the most appropriate response here is that, yes slashdot is, 'er' 'overrun' by computer geeks and nerds for whom 'Apple' have very little appeal being under specced over-marketed fashion statements. It's just the way computer geeks and nerds roll, get over it Apple marketdroid, overrun indeed, pfft. Of course blatant marketing biased 'opinions' will be always be targeted and not so much for the content of the opinion but to prevent the forum being flooded with those advertisements 'er' 'opinions' (it's a defence measure).
It's called the inquisition. A time when people where routinely tortured to death for a wrong word. Burned at the stake for espousing un-Godly ideas. You want it back, then let the fundamentalists religionists shut down free expression with threats of violence. If idiots want to tear down their own countries be being goaded by trolls then more power to the trolls.
There is only one way to react to this religious violence, troll the shit out of the idiots until the fellow citizens learn it is smarter to lock up violent religious reactionaries then people who express challenging ideas.
I refuse to be silenced by religious whack jobs. I refuse to allow the rebirth of the religious inquisition in my time. I honestly was largely indifferent to pro or anti-Muslim sentiment until now. The greater the violent reaction to the spread of anti-Muslim ideas then, the more I am for the spread of those anti-Muslim ideas and absolutely no different for any other violent repression of ideas by any other religion, Christian, Hindu etc.
This is exactly why free speech was instituted as law, to protect people from persecution by religious freaks, by those who abuse religion for personal gain, by those who claim superiority through religion. Free speech has it's roots in the resistance against religion, it was the weapon used to tackle the inquisition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition and prevent it from recurring. Based upon the way Muhammad is depicted in the Koran he comes off as a paedophile and a misogynist, a person who created a religion for his own personal benefit.
Should any censorship be allowed when it is being driven by acts of terrorism by out of control mobs. Should we govern ourselves by fear, should we allow others to terrorise us and our families, should we accept curtailing of our culture by threats of physical violence from another culture.
Should the response be, should you desire to destroy your own society by acts of violence than expect to be trolled into extinction. Should we cower or goad them into more and more self destructive acts. Should their threats of violence be allowed to limit our self expression or should we use our self expression to destroy their violence.
Ultimately stirring up the religious hornet nest of paedophiles and misogynists, likely will end up doing more good then harm in the long run. Bit of a rough passage in the interim but ultimately cultural tolerance is a two way street and a violent response is never acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Brown's outspoken activities hardly speak of anonymity, which largely precludes him acting on behalf 'Anonymous', one of the major principles of 'Anonymous' is the acts being protested are the sole focus of the protest and are not about promoting the protester. So to publicly claim to be a spokesperson for 'Anonymous' is more about self promotion and has very little to do with 'Anonymous'.
Although it is beginning to sound like another FBI overreach, threatening to destroy someone is acceptable as long no claims of illegal actions are involved ie there are a range of legal measures of doing so, filing complaints, civil suits. For example the FBI retaliation is an attempt to actively destroy the life of an individual and truly is crossing the border of criminal activity considering the intent. Consider the raid itself, one false move and it is immediate execution basically any excuse for the officer on site to summarily execute the individual will be acted upon. Then there is the direct, pseudo legal physical assault itself, whilst not lethal, there are real attempts to legally inflict permanent harm. Then the expected destruction of personal property and of course kidnapping and extended detention, with psychological torture masquerading as interrogation.
It is expected the FBI will play the legal game and use their knowledge of the courts to extend the case out for as long as possible, inflate bail to enable long term detention and force the individual to effectively pay a major fine masquerading as legal defence costs. In the end, whoops tee hee the FBI girlishly state they got it wrong, all free of penalty for blatant perversion of justice and the legal system. The honour and integrity abandoned for personal ego.
Here let me simplify it for you. The rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities will decide what is and isn't a troll, if you are a nobody then you have nothing to lose be being abused by the rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities. The nobody taxpayers will pay for it all as well as of course the nobodies that dared to troll the rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities, the nobodies will have their houses taken and their families thrown out onto the streets and the be subject to public trolling by the rich, powerful and pseudo celebrities.
It's called the Streisand affect, the more you try to control the nobodies when you are rich, powerful or a pseudo celebrity the more you stand out for kicking the underdog, the more all the billions of other underdogs will bite you back in turn.
So you are saying that Japanese Americans were involved in the attack on Pearl Harbour. So 'er' they trained to fly torpedo and dive bombers, as well as man military ships in the US, prior to joining the Japanese Navy because 'er' 'um' Japan was too primitive and backward to be able to do so on it's own. Of course who could expect the attack would be so successful because the Americans could be so incompetent and so readily mismanage an attack, given the level of warning they had and the conditions of the time ie the world was not a peace but pretty actively at war at the time.
Of course why weren't the German-Americans and the Italian Americans also arrested, surely it wasn't colour at play here. Of course seriously why would a surprise attack be looked at any differently from a heads up we are going to start murdering your citizens attack. It like fine tuning psychopathy so that torturing people to death is not as bad as torturing them to death and eating them.
As for the mess the DHS has gotten itself into with the transport security, everyone knows exactly why they are holding off any public review for as long as possible, give security freaks a free hand and guess what they'll well and truly suck, it's in their nature and, that without adding scum of the earth lobbyists and corrupt politicians into the mix.
So best tech is a steel hull, as the things most likely to approach you are mostly submerged shipping containers (although technically you approach them) and other major debris, logs major construction components from relatively recent tsunamis. These can make for a very, very, bad day on a timber or fibreglass yacht.
Of course lots of vessels do so reactively safely so join the lottery. Of course some hint's as to how many will be sailing with you and their physical and mental capabilities would also help define what equipment to recommend.
