For my first house, in 1992, I had an electric power meter with different night and day rates. My hot water service was electric and solar. I switched off the electric component entirely in summer, from about November to April.
But typically turning on the plant off and on costs more than keeping it on in the first place, so you just add incandescent light bulbs all over the power plant to use as much as running the plant at the minimum produces.
Surely thats a joke. I could believe hydroelectric storage: pump water against gravity, or selling the power to a neighboring network.
you actually can't spin down the generators all the way, so they produce power even if nobody wants it
Not sure how that works. Is there a dummy load set up somewhere? In reality I expect the peak load generators to shut down at night and base load generators to shut down as much as they can. I assume that low load conditions would lead to problems keeping generators in phase.
The total energy used to charge the vehicles is important but the rate they charge at is not. If the cars charge fast then the load will still be spread through the off peak period because cars charging early will push the off peak period later into the night.
But done that way the filter is easy to circumvent. Write a browser extension or spider which registers blocked pages with an external https mirror. Once they tell you a page is blocked (rather than just not there) the filter doesn't really exist.
Better the devil you know. Give labour a slap in the upper house then put them ahead in the lower house, but behind the greens. Thus well trained they will come to heel faster than the liberals. Thats my theory anyway.
Because each state elects six senators at each half-senate election, the quota for election is only one-seventh or 14.3% (one third or 33.3% for territories, where only two senators are elected). Once a candidate has been elected with votes reaching the quota amount, any votes they receive in addition to this may be distributed to other candidates as preferences.
So is Conroy up for reelection this time? I can't tell at the moment.
In the meantime, major ISPs - including Optus, Telstra and iPrimus - have pledged to block child-abuse websites voluntarily. This narrower, voluntary approach has long been advocated by internet experts and brings Australia into line with other countries such as Britain.
No. The Linux kernel still requires GCC to compile.
Sure about that? There are non-gnu compilers, both free and non-free. If I build the system with DECC have I created DEC/Linux? Linux doesn't need a compiler to run.

Don't mess with our tidal bulge, it stabilises the orbit of the moon ;)

More likely the car wll be like your phone. Plug it in when convenient and don't think about it too much.

I run a fairly large internet company (many millions of users), and we get about 1 subpoena every two months, asking for IP logs of a particular user.
Is it always the same guy?
Ah so delete user files first, then the boot image, then as much as you can of the rest.
Wouldn't that be stopped by firewall though? IIRC, you have to first allow port 22 or something from OS X, then you can remote login.
I ssh into my wife's macbook to run backups. I just enabled sshd. I didn't have to open the port.
Yes, because you were on the same local network, without any firewalls between the two computers.
But this first allow port 22 or something from OS X, implies it is a packet filter inside OS X which will do the blocking.
Thats right! A new house and a 100000 dollar boat also free beer and hookers for one year.
All you have to do is go to this address with your brand new laptop and the rest will be taken care of.
Or remotely erase the system "rm -rf /" and hope they send it in for repair.

Then maybe somebody here will have something close enough for you to be able to identify the ISP.
Headers and interfaces are easy to write. Can anybody point to similarities in algorithms and architecture?
b) is this viewing technique applicable in reverse for microchip optical etching/lithography?
...and does the US Government now own it?

Yeah but if Gillard realises Conroy is poison she will keep clear.

I plan to put all Labour senators last, and to put the Greens ahead of labour in the lower house.

Is this a new troll?
All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
It is possible to have a working linux system without any GNU components at all.
A babelfish would be more useful, though not as comfortable to use.
My son's DS and iPod touch seem to have survived okay.
