Side note,
You indirectly hit the nail right on the head. "Google can't and choose which court orders it acts on depending on the quality of that court. It's all or nothing." What is to stop a Iranian, Russian, Chinese, or any other country's court for asking for the keys to the backdoor? Google can't comply with every country's laws/requirements. So, no one gets the keys. Technically, Google could try making keys for every device, but then there is a database that can be hacked. Google could do it per country, but then what happens when someone travels between countries.
And then there is Cloud data, what if the device is in country X, with an account based in country Y and with data storied in country Z, by a company based in country A? Who's law applies?
In the USA, NFPA 70 code (NFPA 70 NEC 2014 Table 210.21(B)(3)) allows for a 15A outlets on a 20A breaker. The parallel prong outlets are rated at 15A (e.g. NEMA 5-15R), but there are 20A outlets, which have both regular (straight) prong and a T or perpendicular pong, which is rated at 20A (NEMA 5-20R).
You are the only one that mentioned it. What about the KEYS? If the USPS uses clustered mail boxes, who administers the keys. Does the HOA? What if you live in a subdivision without a HOA or property administrator? Who will maintain the boxes? What about owners/renters losing the keys? What if the house goes though foreclosure and the bank does not have the keys (can someone say locksmith)?
No keys, now it is easy to steal someone else's mail. Where will the boxes be located, in the common area, what if there is no common area. Will it be in someone's front yard? Will it cause a traffic issues with existing neighborhoods?
This could apply to almost anyone could end up costing people large amounts of money (but not the USPS, I am sure of that, since the Postmaster makes the rules).
Representative Darrell Issa, a California Republican who has spearheaded Postal Service reforms, has introduced a bill that would also require cluster boxes for existing residences with an exemption for people with disabilities.
HTC bought a 50.1% share (controlling interest in the company) for 309 million dollars, then sold back 25% for 150 million dollars. HTC only lost ~4.5 million dollars plus the cost of the acquisition. Not a great business move, but they could have done far worse. However, they still have some control of Beats Electronics because of it (the 25% in stock).

I know that Best Buy will price match the item internally (Best Buy online vs. Best buy brick and mortar), if you ask the cashier about it. I have done it on more than one occasion this year.
This is what I see...
1920 x 1200 (Resolution) x 32 bit (4 Bytes Color Depth) x 60 Hz (Refresh) = 4423680000 bit/s = 4423.680 mbit/s or 527 Mbytes/sec
Therefore, they must compress the video stream. So with this I get lag, bad video quality and compression artifacts.
This assumes that I have a high speed internet connection that is not capped... At 2mbit stream rate (but they required a 5mbit connection, therefore you would have some spare capacity for overhead and network issues), you would only get about ~22 hours (~45min/day) per month with a 150GB cap (assuming no overhead, other traffic or other users). I also know people that could push 22 hours in one weekend.
I will start this by saying that I have built four AMD desktop computers over the years and currently use three AMD systems (a single and quad core desktop and one dual core laptop). The quad core desktop was built as a server (video processing/storage/backup).
But, it is now time to upgrade my primary single core desktop computer (gaming and general use). I would prefer it if I could get an AMD system, however after doing the research, I am currently planning on building an Intel Core i7-930 based system. I completely agree that I could get an AMD system at a better price, but the performance would be worse than the Intel system. The point of this system is good performance at a decent price.
2) It was the British. Information on the substance was passed to Porton Down in 1954 and research there led to VX within a year. This was traded to the United States as the British passed over VX in favor of continuing with sarin as the UK chemical weapon of choice,... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)
The Project Manager – Chemical Stockpile Elimination manages the safe treatment and disposal of chemical agents and weapons using incineration and neutralization technologies.
Incineration technology is being used at Anniston Army Depot, AL; Pine Bluff Arsenal, AR; Umatilla Chemical Depot, OR; and Deseret Chemical Depot, UT.
Disposal operations using neutralization technology were completed in February 2006 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, facility - eliminating more than five percent of the nation’s chemical agent inventory. The disposal facility is now closed. The Newport Chemical Depot, IN, facility completed chemical stockpile disposal operations in August 2008 – eliminating four percent of the nation’s chemical agent inventory. Closure operations at the site are now underway.
I am sorry, but the odds of that happening are low. It is more likely that they will get a "non fat free" zone since they are the ones with a medical condition.
Obama is not even in office and he had made changes, changed his mind. You wanted change and you got it. If he was all about change (hopefully for the better), we would not be talking about this.
It is an old standard, better technology now exists. Sorry, it is not backwards compatible. I have seen people get completely enraged about this change. People look at it like, "If it's not broken, don't fix it." The change is a good thing, but people get defensive about the government breaking their stuff (vs. preparing for the future). Since when has watching TV been a RIGHT, not a PRIVILEGE?
PS: I don't care how I get modded. I am happy just because you used/wasted your mod points on me.
The industrial chillers I have worked with (200-460 KW units) have about a 2.5KW of heat removal per 1KW of electrical power used by the chillers.
Quick Calculation: I would guess that a maximum of 30% of the electric bill is for AC. In other works a 10MW data center would need up to 4MW of cooling and have a total electric usage of up to14MW.
I was thinking that a more indirect method for collecting the energy would be easier. If you caused an air-ground strike, why not try collecting energy from the induced magnetic field. I would assume the lightning strike is very close to the ground based laser. The collection system would be setup around that point.
I know the field would not long (but without a moving coil, the changing field is required to in induce current in the collection coils) nor would it be an efficient method (not really sure how bad). But it has the advantage that a majority of the system would never come in direct contact with the lighting strike.
I think the RIAA argument is that offering or otherwise sharing the files (to people other than you aka the public) makes the copies unauthorized copies. I agree with their reasoning, and I think the courts will also agree. You can not use "fair use" (aka format shifting) as a defense when you are breaking other parts of the law.
I stand corrected, the courts did agree. Lookup the bold one...

I think it is more important to look at the cost of the solar tree. The cost of the energy (renewable or nonrenewable) used to produce the panel is factored into the cost of the unit. The approaches of NorbrookC and pla are the proper way to look that the benefit of the panels.
Side note: You could use only renewable energy to make the device but then it would cost more and therefore decrease its benefit. There is a break even point were renewable energy is cheaper than fossil or nuclear energy, but we are not there yet.
I just thought that I would look around one of his website. Just to seeing that he had and then just happen to notice that the website categorized "The Origin of the Species" in the fiction section.
I know this a old technology, but why not store all the software and voting results in PROM (programmable read only memory). The chips could have their serial numbers inventoried before and after the election. The integrity of the software could be verified after the election. Once you have writing to a section of the chip it is not going to change (meaning don't use EPROM (solid case, not just a sticker) or EEPROM). Even if the chips are still not made, I am sure someone is willing to custom make a "few" chips for the US government / government contractor.
I know the software is fairly complicated (not sure how many MB), but you might also be able store only part of the software in the PROM. Use something like a ATM, with the button on the left and right sides. But only storing part of the software on PROM leaders you right back to the original problem (I am sure you could manipulate the results and no one would know, such as slightly moving the location of the names on the screen, so a different person is name is next to button at the side of the screen).
You could also use some procedure controls to prevent the above from happening. Have a person (Rep. and & Dem. Voting Official (Maybe a Ind. if need be)) go and record the tabulated results every few hours. Then at end of the day the procedure could have machine challenged (a varying number of times) with known known but a random voting pattern then compare the tabulated results with the expected results (which you can calculate from the previous results and the known challenge voting pattern). This could be done through out the day, but care would need be taking to not include the results in the election. If you let the machine know it is being challenged, then it can manipulate the results and you are not testing the proper part of the code. A stamp in the PROM results could work, since the remainder of the machine does not know exactly what the PROM section is doing (or at least that way I would make it).
Don't tell me in addition to electricity, my computer is now going to need fool/water supply and I am also going to have to take care of a liquid/solid waste.
The current minimum level for a oxygen deficient atmosphere is 19.5% at sea level. I wonder if they will be handing out SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) to the employees. I would also be a little worried about "decreased mental effectiveness, visual acuity, and muscular coordination" in a data center (which occurs at 16% oxygen at sea level (even higher at higher altitudes)). But then again, "Sorry Boss, I think the lack of oxygen is getting to me," does sound like a good excuse.
