Actually, I think you only need to go up to the halfway point. After that, if it were evenly divisible, it would have already been taken care of by something smaller.
Actually, this could work. You could, for example, have a computer that runs all of these "smarter" power outlets, with the console locked in somehow, and have it so that, in order to turn it on, they have to, say, click a button on their computer. The 'server' sends a message saying "open it up" and then the power works. There's just one problem with this method: if a worker leaves the console on, or forgets to turn it off (Such as, say, when they pause a game so they can get to it later). Maybe a better method would be to having something like a little plug to monitor when the *controller* is being used?
yeah, but we've been raiding their retirements for years now because they had a surplus *then*. If those idiots in congress hadn't raided social security, it could still be a self-sustaining program, as it was intended.
Well, then, lets just get rid of public schools, social security, medicare, etc. The whole point of the *government* spending money on such things is that it provides for the common good. Without government intervention, we'd still be stuck with private schools for the rich only.
I would really much rather not have such a huge military budget than cut programs designed to promote the common good.
I don't really think they care about upward mobility... more about "How can we either a) make ourselves look better to the world or b) make more money in taxes?"
"I'd be willing to bet that all that fancy networking gear uses just about as much power when it's idling as when it's transmitting." Then it's a fixed cost, which still needs to be covered. Fun shit, accounting.
Really, just throttle them based on how much theyve used in a given period. everyone wins. consumers keep their service, and providers can cut their bandwidth down a bit.
Exactly. I mean, people with rape fantasies don't necessarily rape everyone. I think rape fantasies can be hot, actually, given the right situation. It's when I act on those that I'm a bad person; same with pedophilia.
It's not bad to just think "Aw, what a pretty little girl." It's when you decide to rape that little girl that it's a problem.
Why do we have this discussion EVERY time we discuss pedophiles on Slashdot?
A pedophile is simply someone who is *attracted* to children. Doesn't mean they're gonna have sex with a kid. You know, kinda like how the Slashdot crowd is attracted to women, but doesn't have sex with them.
What you want to execute are child *molesters*. note the difference!

My, how wonderfully mature.
Repressed homosexual urges, my friend?

no. This changed a LONG time ago. It took *weeks* for KDE 4.1 to be in portage, and even then it was *still* masked.
I miss the old Gentoo, for the adventurous fucker in everyone :(
I don't think -1 Troll is good enough. We need to give this guy a -5 Asshole Racist.
What the fuck does that have to do with WINE? O.o'
That only works when the machines are (relatively) homogenous.

You do realize that the top 10% of America gets something on the order of 30-40%, right?
"I threw wave after wave of my own men at them!"
I've actually met Hubble's nephew. Very cool guy, and actually *interested* in his uncle's work.
Anyway...
make the telescope Plug and Play USB.
How the FUCK did I get rated +4 insightful? This is *not* an insightful comment! Come on, mods! Do your fucking... volunteering!
I want one, but not bad enough to watch Oprah to find out these things...

that limited unlimited plans are a bad idea.

I believe there's still minute amounts of matter floating in the ether.
You know, they actually did a study. There is a *far* lower error rate on wikipedia than, say, the encyclopedia brittanica. Odd, yes, but true.
Oh, and while they're at it, they should *totally* cache youtube, magnatune, pandora, and every legal torrent!
Get over it; just because it *can* be used for evil doesn't mean it's bad. Technology is neither good nor bad. It's the use.
Truth be told, the VO control scheme is very nicely done. Best I've seen, anyway.
No, that's one of the listed features, actually!

I happen to have one. Are you interested in buying it?
Also: VO is just awesome. Only game I ever bought on a monthly basis.
