That makes about as much sense as a church selling sin credits to stop people from sinning.
If you're going broke due to having to pay for all those sins/carbon emissions, the sensible man/business would likely start looking for ways to cut back on it.
There's more than the simple direct-heating designs. Proper designs for cold areas heat a intermediate fluid (usually a glycol solution, same as automotive antifreeze), which then is used to heat the water.
If the company is sensible, it doesn't do anything of the sort. It merely states that they need to make the source available in some manner to the person who buy's the product. It in no way prohibits them from making money.
Only times I've had firefox 3 go down is on particular, badly made, flash-based sites, when trying to do specified things, which makes me fairly sure it's Adobe's fault.
Why on earth would you assume that? That just doesn't make sense.
He's making the fairly reasonable assumption that menopause will still occur sometime around the age of 50, which I find reasonable given past history, as we've significantly extended the average lifespan in recent decades, but menopause still occurs at aproximately the same age.
partially efficiency of scale (in general (all other things being equal), a 700W supply running at half-load will be more efficient/last longer/provide more stable voltages than a 350W supply running balls out, not to mention room for expansion.) and partly as that rating falls quickly as the temperature rises (also related to point 1. in general, higher load % = higher temps). going from 40C to 50C internal PSU temp (not unreasonable if the ambient temp is high, like in summer without an AC or simply a room with poor ventilation), you lose about 1/3 of the wattage. not to mention many supplies are deceptively rated at 25C or some other unattainable operating temperature.
The power rating on the power supply indicates how much it is capable of supplying. it will not draw more than is needed, plus some for the thermal losses in the power supply (a good many supplies are better than 80% efficient).
My fairly powerful system (3ghz core2 duo, 2GB ram, 500GB hard drive, 8800GTS, 700W generic brand power supply, and a 17" CRT from 7 years ago,) draws about 370W running flat out according to my UPS (a 780W/1200VA APC unit) and sits at about 200-250W at idle (for various definitions of idle).
Going out for an hour a day in the summer yes, but in the winter, UVB is rarefied at higher latitudes. UVB availability has little to do with how much visible light there is. There can be tons of UVB and very little visible (cloudy day in the middle of summer) and tons of visible, but practically no UVB (clear blue day in December).
We have open competition and it was working as intended. Bell started pulling crap, and they started bleeding customers to the competition (Teksavy, et all). Then Bell started throttling the competition's connections (they lease the lines from bell, who is required to lease them at a fixed fee), which is what fired all this up.
That's what has been happening. Bell has been bleeding customers to the competition (Teksavy, et all), and Bell is now deciding to throttle those guys (Bell owns the lines, etc. and they're required to lease them out at a fixed fee.), which is what is causing a major stink.
Competitors can also get their hands on the source code. Also, anyone that downloads the source can also compile it and release it for free. And then under the GPL, they can get their hands on the competitor's source and improve upon it.
Also, unless I'm greatly mistaken, they don't have to release the source to the entire world for free. They are only required to release it with the binaries, so they can give the source only to people who buy the product.
In addition, these people are not just selling the software. They're selling a physical object that uses that software, so the software in of itself would be of little use to someone without that device.

It's the result of me accidentally adding that word to firefox's spellcheck. Anyone know how to remove stuff from that?

what HD? they're moving to SD transmitted digitally.
I'd guess that he uses either satalite or cellular.
Windows costs about $85 and gives you 100% compatibility with Windows apps
I guess that depends on how you define "windows apps"
I would presume they would be using propylene glycol, not ethylene glycol.
But they'd be significantly more effective when you want the exact opposite effect in summer.

Popular Mechanics did an article on this awhile ago. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/energy_digital/2723176.html
PS3 sucks.
Xbox 360 sucks.
Wii sucks slightly less, but sucks in several other ways, so it still sucks.
For the most part, power use = heat dissipation. Practically all the power that is used is lost as heat (with a little going towards light).

I dunno about paint, but we've got minesweeper.

Flash sites?

You are making the possibly poor assumption that those government forces would be willing to attack and kill their neighbours.

Appearently. Porn is dangerous stuff.~

450W at idle?!

Keep in mind that the Teksavvy shaping is being done by Bell, which is what all this is about.

Let the authors of said software know in an anonymous manner.
