I agree: but think this will be a very temporary phenomenon. The money is "in the system", and it can take time from turning the printing press on high to the point where prices skyrocket. All that printed money needs to get around, and then we will have more money chasing fewer goods (as nearly every producer is cutting way back right now). I think we may be seeing the calm before the inflation storm.
Good point: some laid off people were doing wasteful jobs. How do you suppose of GDP is still fine? It takes a while for problems like this to be reflected in the data.
Agreed on the surface: but people being laid off means less productivity, which means less resources to go around.
Also, depending on your country and its currency valuation, you may not be able to afford as much "stuff". If you live in the US and OPEC starts to devalue the dollar cause Helicopter Ben has doubled the money supply in the last year: it could turn into a real problem if you consume things.
We should be able to produce the same amount of things this year, but the question is will people bother if they believe it isn't worth their effort.
I agree with your math, but it is the $700 billion figure is not accurate. Try $8.3 trillion thus far. That would move your figure to around $30,000 a head.
I just ran through our pad with a Kilowatt meter and measured a bunch of items. The biggest power suck was the dehumidifier in the basement. This thing pulls down 350 watts when in use. Cost me $7 for about 2 weeks now. My server in the basement: 70 watts. Cable modem/router: 20 watts.
Got a 50" plasma: that was pulling down about 600 watts when displaying a white screen. When doing a dark screen: it was around 200 watts. When off: it went to near as zero as the meter could read. Wii: 30 watts. 12 in standby.
The cable box from comcast was a surprise. 40 watts. It may go up a bit when recording: but this thing is always on. I pay $.20 a kw/hr: so do the math.
Has a tivo: so switching it off via a hard switch defeats the point.
I turned up the humidity sensor on the dehumidifier: and am going to do CFL in the outside lights. Not a fan of having the mercury ones in the house.
I took notice of that too. Apparently the Bush administration is attempting harass him into compliance. We aren't too far off from China now: with the socialism and now political prisoners.
This would be excellent for my carPC which does my navigation. With custom navigation solutions: one expects the system to be up instantly. I have to wait for XP to boot: my Intel bios takes a while too. Hibernation is ok: but alot of USB drivers have issues.
is a limited resource. We can ration it by time (ie. sitting in a waiting room), or ration it by money. In the end, someone won't get it. So what is better: a homeless guy who drinks to much and has eons to wait in the waiting room getting proper care while the working mom/dad fore goes it as they are too busy to wait.
Or we have people who have money/insurance get the first priority.
Unfortunately the decision comes down to this. It certainly isn't pretty: but we don't have enough of it to go around.
If I were in charge, I would open up more medical schools to increase supply.
Well hope can they expect to sell subscriptions when the magazine doesn't even specify? Perhaps there are many Chief Investment Officers who currently are currently receiving this magazine because they mistook the acronym.
We used to put lead in gasoline and it went into the air. American's lead levels fell 80% once leaded gasoline was banned. Lead is not good.
Banned leaded gasoline: that was a good idea. But this may be a bit over the top. Sure, we should minimize the amount of heavy metals in our environment: but last time I checked PCs were recycled (at least in my hippie town) and kids don't lick microprocessors and circuit cards.
Even though you are a Barrack supporter: I'll answer your question:-)
Fios has two inputs for internet-- one is called Moca and the other is ONT. ONT provides an ethernet port on the box outside the house. If you don't have TV, you can plug your own router right into this. If you have the TV service, the set top boxes need to get IP addresses. The MOCA connection is coax and plugs into their Actiontec router.
I looked at several possibilities here, one was putting the Actiontec in a MOCA to ethernet bridge mode- and then plugging my router in there. I did this and actually got my router to obtain an IP address, and then for reasons I can't explain-- everything went to crap. I tried several more times and it never worked quite right according to the posted instructions. I never investigated further, and just did a factory reset on the router and called Verizon to release the IP. My girlfriend gets pissed when the internet is out.
The other method I was going to do was to plug my router into the ONT, and then put the Actiontec behind it so the set top boxes could get IPs via the coax. I called Verizon and this was my plan-- then magically things started to not crash. If it isn't broke, don't fix it-- especially if it is something the woman likes to use. I don't use p2p so can't speak to that.
So, you can use your router if you don't watch TV.
Another interesting side note, I looked at my Steam updates and on May 8th or so, one of the update change notices says something like "network improvements". Not very descriptive, but it would explain an awful lot.
I have Verizon FIOS, which has an Actiontec router with a puny 1k NAT table. Whenever I played Team Fortress, this would overflow the NAT table when I did a server refresh and the router would be unusable for 4 minutes. This was designed to prevent peer to peer applications from clogging their network. Their network doesn't look for P2P traffic, it just kills it at the endpoint.
Interestingly enough, this Team Fortress issues seems to have resolved itself in the last week and a half. I imagine this is due to a Team Fortress update, as I did not update the firmware in my router-- but this is an extreme coincidence.
I use a product called Homeseer and alot of people are already doing this. There are two types of tags people are using, iAutomate tags and cheaperRFID tags. The iAutomate tags are more complex, and hence more expensive. I have the Cheaper RFID tags. I have one in our laptops bags-- if no laptops are present-- no wifi. I don't believe they do triangulation. The iAutomate ones do- but are far more expensive-- at least when I last looked.
People claimed that XP was a disaster when it first came out. Now, it is the most stable version of Windows ever. I have a dual boot of Ubuntu on my home machine, but I rarely use it. XP is very stable, I run it on my home control PC, my desktop, my laptop, and even my CarPC. I occasionally use Linux machines for builds and simulation, but only when I need to exceed the 3.4 Gb memory space within XP 32.
I don't use Vista, and the one time I tried it it did manage to piss me off. That said, my money is on me adopting some later and stable version of Vista.
I hear you. This is a very solvable problem. Solutions for converting gas pipelines to hydrogen pipelines have already been devised-- this is a far smaller issue.
A bottle of tequila will sit indefinitely in a glass bottle, one could simple line existing pipe infrastructure with glass or any other material that ethanol doesn't corrode.

Well: I suppose it is better than raising my taxes.
If it is good enough for the President, it is good enough for me.
Ah, yes. Using Wikipedia as the be all, end of of your argument. Hold on, give me five minutes to edit the page and I'll get back to you.

This is slashdot: the men here don't sleep with women.
it comes with my solid state disk.
this is caused by our emissions of CO2 and we need to cut back. Global warming doesn't just affect the earth you know.
Not me my friend, I didn't vote. I didn't lend any creditability to this system: it happened despite of me.
You vote, you agree to stand by the system.
Print them up, bound them: and send them the the 12 million books.

Although, this theoretical limit has to do with collisions and retransmissions. If you ran switch ethernet- I imagine it would work-- any experience?
Optical would work too. I am with you though- wireless isn't as nice as wired.
