Looks like it would be about $9.50 on average in CA. However this is also assuming the router is being used a max power 24/7 when it's sharing and would be completely idle 24/7 if it wasn't. It's more likely people would be using their own router so it wouldn't be idle in which case it would use a negligible amount for sharing.
I end up using my email that way. Emails about stuff I haven't dealt with stay in the inbox (though only one for each thing) and when the task is done I archive it. I don't create emails for that purpose, it's more like an email with tickets to a show or someone suggesting a feature for a program I'm working on or a credit card statement.
Maybe for simple minded people, folders are more like the office where mail can be filed away. GMail has something that's a vast improvement to that: labels. You can label your email the same way you would put it in a folder, but many emails will fit multiple labels and you can do that. Folders lack that flexibility.
Well it's still true - if people don't donate blood, the existing reserves will be used or go bad in a few days (maybe weeks depending on circumstances).
Well I get faster speeds when connected to LTE compared to 3G, but apart from that by bill is the same and bandwidth allocation is still "unlimited". Faster speeds are good.
Well we have a 4th generation data network which is faster than the 3G (third generation) data network. It didn't follow the official standard for "4G", but it's a different technology so it's not really 3G either....
I live in one of the few US towns with municipal power and we have great reliability because they do all the maintenance needed. The only time in the past 5 years we lost power was during a hurricane when something took out the substation (and it was fixed in hours, unlike the surrounding areas that were still out the next day). A lot of lines are underground, but I think the maintenance with cutting back trees and replacing bad sections also has a big part to play.
But that's not the case - there is actually a duplicate of all the data on a second drive. It's only one period of time (the most recent), but it allows you to recover the data in the event of a hard drive failure (and the loss of data on that drive).
A computer with a RAID 1 has a full backup to protect it in the event of a hardware failure. Sure there are lots of ways for that backup to fail, but you can find problems with any backup system.
Yeah! Exactly why I generate my own electricity and produce my own food. I'm also my own ISP - not connected to that so called "Internet" beyond my control.
It lasted six years dude. The effects were even more obnoxious than I listed; I remember dusting the house every bloody day because they were stirring up that much dust and dirt. They destroyed our local roads and paid nothing towards the repair of them. I moved out of that area a full year after they completed construction and the streams still weren't clear. That's what happens when you clear cut thousands of acres of forest. The out-of-towners they trucked in for the job showed no respect to the local community. The complaints ranged from the trivial (speeding, ignoring stop signs) to the obnoxious (unnecessary jake braking at 3am, sexual innuendo on their CB radios) to the criminal (assault and rapes tripled in Wyoming County during this project).
Sounds like something to take up with your town council/police
. My preferred method of acting out was to fuck with the 18 wheelers that tailgated me. "Hmm, 60 in the 45 isn't fast enough for you?" [sets cruise control for 30] "Oh, you're going to pass me?" [floors it] "Yeah, how'd that work out for you? Get back there bitch. That's right." [back to 30, rinse and repeat for 15 mile
Sounds like a mature way of sticking it to the man (or the truck driver).
141 megawatts and for that we destroyed 9,000 acres of formerly pristine wilderness
That's quite a bit of power! That's also a suspiciously round number of acres. Judging by the satellite view you posted, the wilderness is still there with a few access roads.
Incidentally, it fails from an economics standpoint just as badly (if not more so) as it fails from an environmental one. That wind farm produced the staggering total of ten permanent jobs. A conventional power plant employs hundreds of people and doesn't require thousands of acres of wilderness. Heck, even the small businesses around here that install solar panels usually employ more than ten people.
Modern power plants don't employ that many people - it usually takes around 3 people to run a power plant so with shifts that's around 10.
Often the first step I take for non-trivial problems is to think "has anyone does this before" and "did they share how they did it". You can often find a block of code on stackoverflow or someone's blog that does the trick. You should of course cite your source if it's a longer section or complicated one (this helps you later or others figure out what's going on), and licensing has to be kept in mind, but there's no point in redesigning the wheel every time.
The "News feed" is not general news, it's a feed of "new" stuff your friends post. Could be that they're hosting a party or a picture from dinner or even a news article on a recent event. Really only is useful if you have friends who post on it.
What about people in repressive countries that don't have open access to these sites? It would be good to be able to access Facebook or Twitter and know the connection is secure.

Auto threading is extremely useful - it makes messages make much more sense since they're in order and together

So you're saying it does protect against data loss...
That's exactly how I use my light bulbs...well maybe not exactly 3 hours - usually more in the winter and less in the summer.
The previous comment seemed pretty clear about the usage though I don't think Samsung was able to actually verify that claim.
Would you do the same to Google if you found a similar scandal there?

Sure that may be the case with what HTML 3.0 was designed for, but remember how people actually used it?
Designers wanted their minimum width columns so there were tables inside tables everywhere!
You know Google street view where you can rotate around 360 degrees? Well it's like that but shot with 2 cameras for 3D effect.
Or to be more exact, it's like Google street view when you right click and enable 3D mode
Not even to stop a very small number of deaths - it just notifies the police faster than someone calling them when they hear gunfire.

You sound insane
DVRs can only play back videos recorded in the past, not videos that will be recorded in the future.
That sounds great! I guess I'll just go down to my local BestBuy and pick up one of these Oculus Rifts....oh wait.
