No, hot water heater. If it is heating cold water you don't have enough capacity for your useage.
No-demand heaters are not all that great. You get enough water for 2 showers, but that is it. Showers are also not a high demand water use item, so using the washer precludes all showers.
A good water heater is a lot more efficient than you give it credit for. Sure the tankless are better than the 20 year old models, but compare a modern high efficiency model and the tankless isn't so good.
I'd do this if I could find a nice brand that didn't flicker and had a spectrum reasonably close to an incandescent (or better, the sun). I can't stand that 60Hz strobe or the washed-out colors. Any suggestions?
Yeah, get a 20 watt normal bulb, put it on a dimmer, and use that with the CF. Find the dimmer setting that flushes out the spectrum right for you. IT still wastes a lot of power, but less than a 60 watt bulb.
An IQ test is very reliable in that you will always get close to the same score. However it is worthless because nobody really knows what any particular score means. You can say your IQ is X, but that gives no insight to anything about you.
I would argue that they are being too picky. I can't be an expert in KDE, GNOME, linux, FreeBSD, netBSD, Wine, FCC, and X.org. (just to name a few, some of which are too big to be an expert on the entire thing)
In the case I cited, there are less than 1000 people in the world who meet their qualifications, and most of them have good jobs already. In many cases, they have that ideal job where their boss doesn't tell them what to work on.
Linux kernel wasn't the only part of the requirements. There were some other hard to find qualifications that I do meet. I don't know if they hired someone, but I'm sure if they did that they either relaxed their requirements, they hired a liar, or they got really lucky in finding the one person in the world who meet their requirements while he was looking.
I have a good enough job. That was one I was interested in, but I isn't a matter of putting food on the table. I wish them the best. Since I didn't get an interview I can't say if I would have fit in the culture, they made it sound like I would, but when they are that inflexible on requirements I'm not sure.
SVG is ready to replace flash, and is an open standard. Those sites should switch. (Come to think of it, if they switch MS would be forced to make SVG work right in IE because customers will demand it)
I didn't get the last interview I applied for because I'm not a heavy linux kernel developer. I've worked with the FreeBSD kernel, but that isn't even of interest, because they know nothing about FreeBSD, while they know linux.
Which is strange, because the FreeBSD license is a lot easier for them to deal with, and I suspect the FreeBSD kernel would be just as good for them. (If not better)
On the grounds where that is true you are correct. However there are millions (billions? more?) of factors in comparing a nation.
Example: Few nations have religious freedom. (Check your local laws, many countries have only one legal religion, they just choose to ignore followers of the others) That along is enough for some people to call the US better than most. (though it doesn't cover the few that do have true religious freedom)
Greatest just means that after comparing the priorities list of all the good and bad parts about each nation, the US comes out on top. It is possible that the US would come out on top overall despite not making the top-10 in any category (of the millions) if the US didn't have any real strong downsides while all the rest did. And of course this is all in the opinion of the evaluator, so how you come up with something is different from me.
P.S. Where have I ever called the US the greatest nation on earth? I've never ran for office so such touchy-feelie statements have never been important to me.
I don't want to say something sexist, but I think it's harder for women to make these moves sometimes -- they tend to be more plugged into groups of friends, more social. It's harder if you're following someone else, too, and not doing it for your own reasons.
I'm not expert, but generally I find women have less trouble making new friends. Historically (though I don't know if this is enough to matter) females have moved in with the male, no matter where he lives, which means females were more likely to get uprooted.
I'd adivse you to try to give her as much support as possible -- shoot for a community where she can fit in. Don't move to Utah, even if you get the best offer there.
Would it be possible to get a divorce in Japan and re-marry in the US?
Not required. The worst case is the US will say your marriage is not recognized. In that case you just tell them you intend to get married as soon as you come to the US. You grab to witnesses off the street, head to the courthouse and have a judge marry you. Legally you are now wedded in the US. Once in a while you will need to put the US wedding date down on legal forms, but otherwise you can count the original wedding as your anniversary.
My Uncle did this when he married an Korean girl. This was before I was born, but as I recall the US objection to the wedding was they only knew each other for 2 months when they married, and the US wanted to see at least 6 months. You might not have a problem, but if you do it won't be hard to get around.
Look really close. There are too many variables that you have not accounted for in those "facts". Go read "How to lie with Statistics" sometime.
Many of those differences are within the statistical noise.
Others are accounted for by different ways of counting, remember many of these numbers come from the governments who have an advantage if they skew numbers. For example some countries do not count children under 2 in their child mortality rate counts.
Few countries have populations as large as the US, a uniform population with far less outriggers bringing everyone down. Drop Mississippi from the US, and our math standing goes way up. How would Europe fare if they were not only all averaged together, but Yugoslavia was added in. (I'm not sure if you would count Yugoslavia as part of Europe, but that should help you understand)
Are those tests of anything useful? You can do much better than me on a test to define a lot of math terms, but if that test doesn't include using the math to do proofs, or otherwise figure, it is meaningless.
And yet only one was mainly responsible for the death of 20 million people... but I guess that's just a minor detail to you.
No, that detail was critical to my point: Freedom of speech is more important than my life. If I can't say what I want just put me to death when I say it!
If Feingold didn't support the entire act, why did he put his name one it?
Even if he didn't support this one provision, the fact that his name is on the bill means that I have no respect for him. I would vote for Stalin[1] over Feingold just because of that! (not that there is much difference, either did their best to shut people up)
Read the law that allows the FEC to do this. You will quickly note many other areas where freedom of speech is infringed. This law has already stood in in the supreme court.
In short, it is too late, you don't have freedom of speech.
Now I'll grant the freedoms lost are ones most people don't care about, but it is still a loss.
Most big city headquarters libraries have the equipment for this.
You need to prepare everything beforehand. That is put everything on one big roll so once in go in your feed the film and hit go. They don't want you editing in there at a time. You only get an hour, plan to convert as much as you can in that time.
Big city and headquarters is key. Your local branch is unlikely to have it, and they might not even know who has it. Call the headquarters and ask though.
Your are not consistant. Its mans law they broke, and no man should have the right to take the life of another man for any reason. So are you pro-life, and thus apparently inconsistent because you are for the Iraq war, or pro-choice, and thus inconsistent because you are against killing anyone after they are born?
While many pro-lifers are for the Iraq war, the two issues have little in common. There are plenty who are against the Iraq war.
Even among those who are for the war, they are not in consistant. They make a distinction between taking an innocent life, taking the guilty, and accidental death. Since the unborn are innocent of wrong doing it is not right to kill them for any reason. (most stop just short of that and make allowances for mothers health, but this is such a tiny amount of abortions that it hardly counts) By contrast, those in Iraq are either guilty of intending to harm the US, or innocents that we are taking all precaution to prevent their deaths, but accidents happen. (and it isn't right to count deaths by terrorists just because the US is now there)
Open your mind. Look at what these people really believe, not some strawman argument that you want them to believe so you can consider yourself better.
Good carpenters do not need a design. They can start building. In fact up until about 100 years ago that is how the houses most people lived in were built. The carpenter just started building with an idea, and stopped when it was done. They made a lot of junk back then too, you just don't see it because those houses have fallen down already. The good houses built that way last because they were over built. Today's houses are built to a well designed spec, which isn't overbuilt.
True, but you don't work there anymore. In fact I know very few people who work for the same company for even 10 years. In that time they often work on several different projects. Then the company hits the down side of the cycles and lays them off.
If you want to be stuck working on the same code all day, everyday, code that only you have a hope of understanding, be my guest. I don't want to do that though. I have enough trouble figuring out what I was thinking yesterday when I write readable code, much less intentionally unreadable code.
Cold temperatures favor the ozone depletion direction of the reaction. This is why you see the hole appear first over the southern polar regions.
Perhaps, but don't forget that ozone is created by UV hitting O2. In the polar regions in winter (when the hole happens) there is no sun, and thus no ozone creation. Those natural processes you have cited are all there working to destroy ozone, but nothing is creating it at the time.
It is in Japan's best interest it have some military experience. China is known for their abuses, and they have 1 billion people. If China decides to start a war Japan is a likely target. (After Taiwan, though China wants Taiwan, while they are just historical enemies with Japan)
Now in the case of China, they show all the signs of being peaceful. I tend to take a trust but verify stand with them. They are not our friend, and cannot be until they clean up their Human rights record. However there is no real evidence they really will fight, though they clearly can.
There is one more country Japan has to watch though: North Korea. North Korea has a large army, and has a ruler that is insane by any standards. Anyone predicting what North Korea will do had better have proof that God is using them as a prophet. (Only God can perdict what North Korea will do)
There is a reason's Columbus' home country of Portugal refused to fund his voyage. (Portugal was a major power at the time, they had the money, perhaps more than Spain) In fact, it is the same reason Spain's King refused to fund the mission until his wife got interested.[1]
The kings were well aware that the earth was round, and they knew how big the earth was. This was calculated about 200BC(IIRC). Columbus calculated the earth's size at about 1/4th the correct size. With the correct size it isn't worth sailing around the world to get to Asia, with Columbus' size it was.
When Spain finally gave Columbus sponsorship they gave him junk ships and essentially prisoners as crew. As they watched him leave they were fully expecting that he would starve to death on the trip. (And if you read the accounts it is clear they came close) Spain was surprised when he came back reporting he found land.
[1]Those who are married can understand why you would pay for a stupid mission if you wife was interested.
Buying mind rot (cigarettes, whiskey, most live concerts) requires an ID until you are obviously old enough. Generally that means anyone under 40, which is is pretty close to. Looking at the picture I'd have to say I would generally agree he is over 21 and not ask for id if I were the clerk. (Assuming there wasn't a policy that I had to ask even when the customer is obviously over 40 which a few places have)
I don't like open source. I'm a programmer. I can recall looking at a "how to spot security holes" site, reading some code to find a problem and being unable to find it!
OpenBSD with some of the best, most paranoid code reviewers in the world let slip one hole in the last 8 years. (Might be more by now) That hole was an accident, written by a coder who was trying to do things right and failed. It was not intentionally placed there by someone trying to hide his tracks.
If you want to see hidden tracks, go see some entries in the IOCCC. Some are cleaver enough to fool the judge until the program was run. Now imagine that The author of this entry was trying to cheat the system on a large scale? Could you detect it? I don't think I can. (And I understood that code enough to not be fooled)
Start with your attitude. I know many people who voted for Bush who are intelligent. People who do read regularly, and not just trashy fiction, they also read some fairly complex non-fiction. People who do travel internationally. People who not only didn't flunk out of high school, they have bachelors degrees, if not full PhD. People who do believe in peace, tolerance, and patience - but are smart enough to recognize that sometimes a small conflict now can avert a bigger one latter.
The majority of people I know voted for Bush (this is more a reflection on the people I hang out with than anything). I know nearly nobody who flunked out of high school, and if you ignore those who dropped out because they didn't see the point that number is zero.
In short: shop your stereotyping. By your own admission you are intolerant, deluded, and ignoreant.

It costs a fortune to keep my apartment at 68 degrees F in the new york winter
Here, have a sweater. Put some blankets on the couch. Turn that thermostat down to 60 or less. You need heat to keep the pipes from freezing.
Turn the heat up if you are sick, otherwise 60 is plenty hot.
