  7. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on US To Extinguish (Most) Incandescent Bulb Sales By 2012 · · Score: 1

    yes, but any commercial building (school, stores, offices) will usually be all fluorescent. there never was much of a concern until CFLs became popular, i'm not saying there isnt an issue but that it may be overblown.

    you do know you have atmosphere in your home right? yes, you get a higher concentration if you break a bulb, but you do know that it isnt just CFLs that contain mercury right? all FL bulbs do, it's how they work.

  13. US on Listening To The Radio At Work? Prepare To Be Sued · · Score: 1

    It's the same in the US, goes for both radio and tv, there is a license for each to allow "public" viewing/listening

  14. Re:You'd think the TV stations would do this free on No More TV Listings For MythTV Users · · Score: 1

    some do, i can get most of my guide for the OTA Digital via info in the digital stream (myth calls it EIT, not sure if thats a myth term or not) but it's only a few hours ahead and not all the channels support it.

  15. Re:RFC-Ignorant.org on DynDNS Drops Non-Delivery Reports · · Score: 2, Informative

    there are ways to avoid this problem also, or atleast lessen the impact. my server will watch for non existant addresses being tried from a single ip, when a threshhold is hit the server drops the connection, i can then block that ip via tcp.deny or any other method and they cannot try again.

    no, what he's talking about is a simple view sorting problem and incorectly set time on the server or sending computer, i have this problem with payment notifications from verizon, always at the bottom of the list sorted by date (newest at top) and thus you don't see it when clicking on the folder.
