Here's the problem: you have multiple sockets in a circuit. So the vacuum cleaner is drawing 12A, and then you add everything else that's running (including all the stuff that draws power while "off" (TV, VCR, DVD, computer, etc etc).
So, yes, the socket itself can handle 13A, but the circuit can only handle 15A.
Actually, that's a good point. Having a digital photo frame update itself over 802.11b or some other wireless standard would be pretty neat. Maybe a flickr enabled digital photo frame? (uh oh... I think I just gave away a million dollar idea).
Poor little grad students. $10 to visit a doctor? That's an extremely low co-pay, my ignorant friend. Someday you'll enter the "real world" and things will be very different...
Interesting. Having those sentences in more of a British-English style as opposed to American-English actually made them harder to read (at least for me). I really struggled with the word "pensionner" and "council" in #2 mainly, I think, because there aren't "council tax increases" in the US and we don't typically refer to retirees as "pensionners".
And I still haven't figured out what "magltheuansr" is.

screwing over customers with a government imposed monopoly
It seems many of the better quality India based customer service companies have been hiring employees with little or no accent, so their English is very clear.
The thing that annoys me now is that they're so damn polite. You give them your first name and they reply "Thank you. Thank you sir. Thank you for the information." To ask a question they start with "Sir, could I please ask you for the...". It takes almost 3 times as long to have a conversation as it should. You can be polite, but also be quick.
no no no... the correct, politically sensitive term is "youth" not "teen". And they weren't rioting. As someone being interview in the Washington Post said they're expressing themselves. They're just saying "We're here! We exist!".
I see they got 2001 on the list, but not 2010. Interesting. Apollo 13 was good, but come on, it wasn't that good. Maybe they liked the realism of it, but then I don't get why 2001 would get the nod over 2010. Lot more weird wacked up shit in 2001.

Holy shit... I've never been more confused by a conversation in my whole life.
Does any of that make sense to anyone?
Yeah... I was more referring to frame being flicker-enabled as the million dollar idea.

because the only reason OXM (the Official Xbox Magazine) exists is that people are willing to pay $5-$10 a month to get xbox/xbox 360 demos.
So, if every demo is available on live MS would effectively be shutting down one of their best sources of good press.
And yes, I know they claim to be "independent".

Yes, because most video hardware is currently manufactured in... Detroit? Or Gary?

So, yes, many of the UN politicos from Europe.
What's your point exactly?
MINOT, N.D. != Minnesota
Also, for those that have seen the movie Fargo, Fargo, ND != Minnesota.
Thank you, and God Bless.
