It doesn't, but the amount of energy it uses to warm up the fresh cold water is going to be a different but fairly consistent number for every appliance. And the more random amounts will be human-related uses, the largest of which will likely be a shower.
Of course, you could put the shower on a time delay! That'd show them!
These "Anonymous" people just seem like a bunch of silly drama queens. It's sad that so many people see some sort of revolutionary spirit brewing there. In reality it's all about the LoLz for some and cheap ego glorification for the rest.
You know what's really sad? That the closest thing we HAVE to revolutionary spirit is Anonymous. People only see the revolution there because everyone else is too busy with the bread and circuses.
Gods yes. If OO/LO/whatever wants me to go through the bother of uninstalling my old OpenOffice and installing a new version, all they need to do is add something feature-identical to Reveal Codes. Hell, I'd consider switching to another suite altogether if it had that.
You need to widen your circle of friends then - or teach them how to start saving. Anyone should be able to reduce their cost of living to that it is 90% of their income, and save the remaining 10%.
I'm saving 10% - 15% of what I make, so I'm already doing better than your standard, and I've been doing so for the past three years. I still don't have near $20,000.
I'd suggest widening your circle of friends as well, to include people who are affected by the current economy, or at least people who aren't over 40 who've been in stable jobs for the past 15 years.
Harper certainly cares about being re-elected. That's why he's willing to screw with the system and try esoteric garbage like proroguing in an effort to keep his crap from catching up with him, and then blame yet another expensive election on the other parties because they refused to kowtow to him and that makes the government's fall the fault of the evil opposition.
Well, there was that time I changed ISPs. Couldn't be home for the changeover but the nontechnical roomie was. I left him with two instructions: 1) They DO NOT TOUCH my stuff. Not even to hook it to the ISP's router. 2) If they can't give me a router without wireless, they disable the wireless. Neither of us uses it.
The installation guy wanted to install their "home security suite" (a rebadged McAfee or something) on my PC. He got rebuffed, so instruction #1 went off without a hitch.
The roomie specifically requested the wireless be disabled. The ISP guy said he disabled it. When I got home, turned on my laptop's wireless and checked. And found a wide-open access point that wasn't there that morning. Its name? MY PHONE NUMBER.
And the router was passworded. I couldn't turn it off short of yanking it out. I had to go online (via my laptop because like hell I was plugging my LAN into an open access point), find a list of default passwords the ISP uses, and try them until I hit the right one. I changed the network name to gibberish and then disabled it.
I was later informed that they'd have been more than happy to tell me the password if I just phoned them. The next morning, when the phone lines were open, because I got home too late.
Oh, and wait an hour on hold.
And hope the call center monkey I got didn't think he wasn't allowed to give that info. And knew where to find it.
In the U.S., the MPAA's rating systems are the most-recognized guide for parents regarding the content of movies, and each rating has been trademarked by MPAA so that they are not used outside of motion pictures.
Everyone slaps a trademark on their variant of the rating system specifically so others can't use it.

My personal favorite was looking at some chocolate drink (or Quik or something) while shopping with someone. The difference between normal and the "50% less sugar/other bad things" variant? The "50% less" had twice as many servings in it.
The Toronto Star letter to the editor includes quotes from two old posts on my blog.... The visitor log for my site reveals that only one party accessed both posts in the period between February 14th (when the column first appeared) and February 21st (when the letter to the editor appeared). That party was CRIA, suggesting that the McTeague letter may largely be a cut and paste of materials supplied by CRIA lobbyists.
I plan to do the same. I think I'm even fortunate enough to have someone running in my riding, so they'll definitely get my vote.
Yeah, turns out the party leader's in my riding (Edmonton Centre) and they're having some sort of everyone-welcome planning meeting this weekend. I think I'll go and see how it is.

Of course. With reasoning like that, he sounds like almost everyone else who posts.

I didn't realize that! Narrows it down quite nicely, taking what little guesswork there is out of it.

"You've been typing these things in chatrooms? Oh ho ho! Naughty naughty! You've been a very bad girl!"
When I phrase it like that, I'm not sure if the elves shouldn't be checking up on Santa's PC too. Who watch^H^H^H^H^Helfs the big elf, and all that.
Fear not, I hear there's a network that has this new ad style coming out to combat people's short attention spans. It's called "blipverts".
Pardon my losing my point in my rantiness: He's NOT responsive to the public, he just manipulates them to try get the public to vote him in.
Saying Harper is responsive to the public is like saying a chess player is responsive to his pawns.

Sure, it's EASY to change a wireless setting!

The isotrop hit quarter-life but went off harmless in Atlantic ocean. Observe with hasty.

And then it will vanish and no one will admit it ever existed.
And then it will come back with horns and nuclear symbols, and was apparently "always like that".
Not really. Helps nail someone who you can't get for any other crime.
I wasn't aware the US had any to cancel.
Hell, there quite the circumstantial case that the CRIA has been using Dan McTeague as a puppet: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5655/125/ Relevant bits:
True enough. I'm glad to have someone else in my riding to do it for me, though! I have no head for public stuff.
