most new data centers are trying to do everything they can to use "free" cooling methods. indirect evaporative cooling, air side economizer, pre-warming the incomming city water for the heaters. litterly everything, they then also simulate the cooling systems based on outdoor temps for every hour of every day in an ASHRAE standard year for the location of the data center.
Simply using them as "pre-heat" will usually greatly limit the amount of heat needed to be added by other "non-free" means and in some cases can greatly increase the efficiency of the other heater. Can i hook my desktop and server up to a pre-heat loop in my house? at least then the heat would go somewhere useful, granted i think all the extra pumps would outweigh any energy savings. In a data center environment, it should be rather easy to use one large pump. Most data centers are a fairly constant load once they are up and running.
I would love to have my heatpump be able to swap outside coil for water heater pre-heat coil when in cooling mode. Granted that would mean an extra water cooled condensing coil, and a receiver to handle the varied refrigerant volume, but both of those issues are overcome-able. This would mean that my heatpump all of a sudden gets very very efficient in the summer. Granted in the fall/spring when in heating mode it doesn't help out the water heater, by a good high turndown condensing water heater should take care of that or maybe even a 2 stage tankless or tankless and point of use small tank one say 3 gallons(would have to be sized based on the incoming line volume from the whole home tankless.
$3.80/US GAL here, diesel is around $0.50 more i think. I would love to buy a diesel car, but none of my options here in the states include an all wheel drive car. by that i mean a car with 100% all wheel with at least a torque sensing variable center diff. Audi A3 is not "all wheel drive" it is "auto rear wheel when needed" I would like the ability to shift power towards a single wheel but that is hard to come by. Finding out which type of AWD is under a car is harder yet.
My 1999 Saturn SW2 5 speed slushbox gets 30MPG on my commute. that is US Gallons not Imperial Gallons. A new cruse(not the eco) is only like 35-38. so 13 years of development and i get less than 0.5 MPG per year. The 110 HP 90LBF power plant is "enough" for my commute, I can do 80-90 MPH with no problems if i needed to, but rarely get over 70 MPH as traffic sucks and the speed limits are 60 MPH.
your 50.4 mpg (uk) is the same as the VW diesels get here in the US when corrected for the different size gallons(42 mpg highway). There don't seem to be and VW diesels on the used market near me at all because a new Golf TDI manual runs round $26000-$28000. where as the same car with the gas engine runs around $4000 cheaper, or you could buy the GTI. We do not have a GTD here in the states, no no sporty diesel at all. As far as i know your 325D isn't here in the states either.
I have limited upstream bandwidth (abour 32kBs before other things slow down), most of the solutions I have seen have no way to control the rate at which they consume bandwidth from the server. Also there is no way i could host 2-3 devices at the same time with a home grown solution.
In my own home, I stream locally over NFS/CIFS and it works great, but for outside my home i'm better off letting google handle the bandwidth.
I'm getting right around 13 hours on my phone with 9-10 of that being google music streaming. I can do the same battery tiimes with slacker as well. Also since I sit at my desk mostly all day, i could always plug my phone into the computer to charge it if i wanted.
I've dropped point and shoot cameras for everything outside of camping for my cell, my watch is also my cell, my mp3 player too.
Also most of his friends could be in bands that use the tracks they give to him as a way to fill up the live gigs where they make the money they use to buy ramen, and whiskey.
Really i think they are trying to curtail the costly part of the business, DVD rentals. I know i'll be keeping the streaming and dropping the DVDs. If i want a DVD seems like my local redbox(1/4 mile away) will work just fine.
I'm going the other way, dropping the DVDs, if there is a movie I really want to watch i guess i'll redbox it to netflix's loss.
I understand though that this isn't really netflix's choice here. I'd bet that a bunch of the movie studios went "the prices for new stuff is (${OLDCOST} *3) take it or leave it" which is a shame for me.
I keep thinking that "sed -i 's/marriage/Civil Union/g' ${legal_code}" should happen. Then define civil union as "the joining as one of any two legal consenting adults humans" and define marriage as "the joining of any two legal consenting adults a religious body wishes to recognize" by doing that you can have both, be married and have all the benefits, or be union-ed and have all the benefits, except a piece of paper from a church.
Health insurance would be another one, although there are a few companies now that have a "duo" plan, covers you and any one other person you want.
The medically related stuff is even worse, in many places you would not be able to visit your SO if they were in intensive care unless you are family and as an un-married gay couple that makes the partner "a good friend".
no need to root it, most allow it. A vendor could provide a custom build that disabled it though. I would hope that that info made the rounds, like motrola locking down the bootloader to signed images only. Anyways, HTC provides a heavily customized version of android on their phones, "SenseUI". There are some nice things in it, the dial-er for example, but in general Sense is bloated slow, and a battery hog. I own an HTC Glacier ( t-Mobile Mytouch 4G) I ran the stock rom for about a month, before the lack of battery life drove me to CyanogenMod and I haven't looked back. I'll be moving up to android 2.3.4 here shortly.
this does not take it to the next level... I'm not sure I could use excel without VBA or some scripting language. *shrug* ohh well, the cloud is dumb anyways.
(no vba && no addins) == "No use in engineering" which in my case, means no use at all. I guess I could ummm... figure out which car is cheaper over 10 years based on a difference in MPG, but other than that nope, no use.
with enough energy polution becomes a non problem as we will just directly make the energy into stuff without waste. get to work on that cold fusion reactor.
yes, Good as it presents a single place to monitor/guard(if you think it really needs it), bad because of the distance some of the waste will have to travel out in the open on public roads, where it could spill out on an interstate highway.
Really what is the issue with storing it on site in 300 ton casks? It's not really going anywhere, and anyone with the ability to steal it is likely well funded enough that they could get it anyways.

now drop the spaces, change every other i to a 1, and every 3rd s to a 5, and capitalize the 5th, 12th, and 14th letter.
Or pick some other personal system to modify the phrase,
"th1siSmyjunkPa5Sword"
"th1siSmynormAlPa5sword"
"th1siSmy5ercUrEpassword"
Better than your first try, but not still not great.

same a week ago I bought 4 or so albums on amazon
and the easy to change configuration system.
I'd love to. where do I plug the other end in?
I mean how do you keep your kids quiet if they cannot surf youtube while you drive?
We installed a dvd player, as the phone won't do youtube over HSPA for 6+ hours. let along 2+.

how about pre-installed on 1/2 of the number of desktops/laptops as OSX?
dnsmasq works for ipv6 addresses over ipv6 connections.

yep, but that is basically the whole of the US new housing market....

so? all they did was use some humans as machines. just skip the step where they eat food and you get a machine. hmm seems like the same thing to me.
