I'ld love to see them try and enforce that, -- We can prove you were hacked -- We can prove that hacker then did something illegal -- We are suing you for your unwitting participation in this string of crimes.
I agree. I'm kinda surprised you simply started your post with "I disagree". Your company made an informed decision based on you're latitude; I get that. Thanks for the datum point.
I'm sure you are right, but that is one example, I understand it was a generalization, and I believe it is mostly true. The fact is any windfarm construction is always setup after a local windstudy because local situation always trumps general trends when it comes to wind.
There seem to be a large amount of/. posters who don't understand one of the biggest immediate benefits to wind+solar energy. Currently, if you don't want brown outs you have to build an eletric grid that can supply as much power as everyone could every try and use at one time. This causes us to spend way more in for large capacity power plants, and also lose a lot of energy in the distribution of energy itself.
So, when are the peak energy demands for the USA? In the middle of the day, and In the summer. Hmm, when are the peak production times for Wind and Solar (its the same!).
To fully move off things like coal, we would need to have better ways of storing energy, people are already working on this (gyroscopes, batteries, pumping water uphill), but that is the second step, not the first.
Clearly not a civil engineer. If you were to be believed, structures like the statue of liberty would only be marked with a head stone and not well...still standing.
Here is possible argument. Our dependance on foreign oil is clearly for transportation and not electricity generation, but our use of oil for transportation will always be financially motivated. The cheaper we can make electricity by investing in the future of renewable energy, the easier a transition to eletric (hybrid and full) cars can be. It is already possible to recharge your hybrid car with electricity, just as you can refuel it at the pump.
When it comes to getting a good picture, no amount of mega pixels will get you the light you need. You need a large aperture, this is why SLRs kick the shit out of pocket cameras when it comes to taking pictures at dusk/dawn/night or anything quickly moving.
If there was an alternative to their service I would have switched ISP's immediately.
There is a certain dark humor to the idea that you can complain all you want, but monopolies of a service that is in high demand don't really need to give a damn until they have a real competition for that service.
It is definitely possible to do deep packet inspection and verify that port 80 is only being used for web. I know companies and government agencies that do it. Basically only port 80 and 443 are allowed and those are verified by some means. Now if you wrote your own encapsulation (and incurred the overhead), you could get through.
Looking at too much porn, at a young age [COULD], warp your perception of what a real romantic relationship is. Why go out and risk getting shot down, or taking the time to gain the trust of another human-being to make love to them? when you have the internet... This dance of the human condition is important to the emotional development of teenagers/young adults.
If you are already married...then for me, it only matters what my wife thinks. If she is upset about it, our marriage will develop a problem.
She'll change every year, even pretty without beer. She doesn't care about my hair, my car, my tiny pee pee in the mirror.... She's my playmate of the year
the parameter space is huge and not a differentiable function
then it would push more into the realm of genetic algorithms. I don't believe that to be true, because with numerical modeling, almost anything is differentiable (x'=x[n]-x[n-1] or the like) Additionally, GA is to be avoided because (as I understand it) the answer are not guaranteed to be optimal in any form, which means you never know if there is a better solution, just that this one might be good enough. So it's possible, but w/o more info, I doubt it. Perhaps we could just ask them?
Are you sure you don't mean NP-hard? Other wise explain yourself. With such little insight I can only assume you like posting links to random [math related] Wikipedia articles.
Why? Genetic algorithms are used to solve equations, using a system of guided trial and error, that are deemed unsolvable. In control theory, optimizing for "lowest fuel use", is usually an exercise in variational calculus.

You went a bit far with this one. Huge difference between theft and manslaughter.
You might have a really good point, but is nullified by the fact that terawatts is a unit of power not energy.
Either his research is inferior, or someone on Wikipedia is trying indirectly murder random strangers.

That depends on local laws I think. I'm pretty sure my landlord can come in as long as I get written or verbal notice in advance (24h?).

Some of us do both. /. and porn that is.

...the files (and possibly file system) are encrypted for that device.
You know this to be true? out of curiosity, what brands?
no worries (in fact you had me worried at first) - 'crlf-F' FTW
"A feed box hooked to the front of the device keeps cows occupied and happy. One cow can produce about two kilowatts of electricity, enough energy to power four milking machines."
And from the original article @ http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2010-04/energizer-cow
"Some studies suggest that cows that exercise make more milk..."
milk cows != meat cows
