This from the "Smart User" blog. Well played, with the oxymoron. By virtue of the profoundly deep understanding of the environment he is redressing, I can only assume the author is a member of these United States congress:/
Mechanical or Spinning disk type meters can be read optically or magnetically, or if you have a dig meter with LED interface you can monitor the LED frequency; Both allow for real time monitoring of your homes load. Monitoring the aggregate by collecting at all load points would be better, but that's a bit more complicated.

Fortunately, we Americans have short attention spans; otherwise, come the next debate over rising health insurance costs being the result of high malpractice coverage and low/no income 'over usage' of US medical care, we would be pointing the proverbial evil-monkey finger at health care management debacles such as this.
The depth and dynamic of the problem(s) to which this statement is meant to speak, is far greater than the relatively naive, albeit well meaning, process proposed. In addition to heeding the incentive, commodity abuse/manipulation, economies of scope/scale issues and failed resolve targeting that have already been brought to light by my fellow slashers, I would recommend the drafting body behind this project read Daniel Quinn's Ishmael. Scary but enlightening mirrors are yummy...
Christopher Monckton is using the patented talking-head tactic, the Straw-man Argument.
Basically, you never have to prove your point, as long as you can disprove the other person's point. This article is an exercise in how to lie without lying, how to obfuscate issues, and how to win an argument even if you are wrong; pulled straight from the teachings of the nefarious Nick Naylor - a' la Thank You For Not Smoking.
'Interesting' view, but not particularly convincing ...and it leaves the taste of of gutter politics on the pallet *ehkk-ghhaa*
It seems to me the exercise is in comparing like systems, namely, MythTV and MS's WMCE, not in justifying an HTPC build against TiVo, they aren't even parallel products. To do this, it seems reasonable to be building on comparable hardware across the test; this platform should represent an acceptable standard of technology for the application -seems reasonable to assume relatively high end componentry here. If I felt this was meant to be a statement cost : feature : market, I could see griping the cost, but...

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
