Everything is a trade-off. You may be able to get some economy of scale in generating centrally, but you lose an awful lot in transmission. Maintainance costs may increase, but as you say it's insurance against one line being cut and thousands of homes going without electricity (eg from a hurricane). You can also go hybrid, where a few solar panels or small wind turbine can keep the house ticking over during the day whilst you are at work but draw off the grid when you get home and fire up the kettle/tv/computer/etc.
It does makes sense for everyone to have solar panels on roof, and many companies are working hard to make solar panels cheap enough so that the time taken for it to pay for itself is short enough for mass acceptance. For example solar cells you can spray onto plastic. Let's hope funding increases for alternative energy, at both the government and the venture capital level.
Since deviance is obviously in the eye off the beholder, I suggest the FBI should begin by carefully cataloguing each type of porn, and then publishing a free, up-to-date directory of all these deviant sites, so that we can add it to our firewalls depending on personal preference.
Could be worse. One guy arrested near the Channel Tunnel not long ago has just been sentenced to 15 years in jail, the principle evidence according to the BBC was having hand-written instructions on how to fire a mortar. Of course, the article may not be mentioning things that were kept confidential by the trial.
The head of Scotland Yard is quoted as saying, "We do not know when, what or where he was going to attack, but the public can be reassured that a violent and dangerous man has been brought to justice". wtf? I don't want to be reassured, I expect you do to your job and find out when, what and where a suspect is going to make an attack and then convict him on the evidence of that solid plan of action.
Overall, the article implies that we was banged up for (the judge wanted life but wasn't allowed) 15 years of his life for something he was thinking about possibly doing.
How would you recharge this ? Methanol isn't too common a substance, partially because it is some nasty stuff. (Flamable, toxic, etc.)
It says in the link you provide, "Methanol is used on a limited basis to fuel internal combustion engines, mainly by virtue of the fact that it is not nearly as flammable as gasoline."
So instead of some form of battery acid leaking if you somehow manage to kill your battery, you get methanol leaking which easily absorbs through skin. Aye.
Again from the link you provide, "Dangerous doses will build up if a person is regularly exposed to fumes or handles liquid without skin protection."
It doesn't sound like anything to worry about.
[snip rest]
I agree that it depends on how they commercialise the refill. If it can use the methanol you find in your hardware store then it will be more practical than a rechargable battery. If it's a rip-off like printer cartridges then it will die.
Java's language features, by comparison to C#, seems to be moving along at a glacial pace, only recently getting features like foreach loops, and generics.
Even worse, C's language features don't seem to have moved since the late '70s. Thank god no-one is still using that any more.
You could try the exploits, which only damages the system and will get you eventually banned from your favourite torrent sites, or you could just get half a dozen downloading and go to bed.
No, the 'right' thing to do is to let the user set prefs that allow a new tab to have home page, last page or a blank page. Let the user decide, not the app builders.
So 99% of people use the default, and the remaining 1% complain that the menu option is hidden (and if it isn't the other 99% complain of useless clutter in the menu). There is no 'right' option, only trade-offs.
Some kid guessed her password reminder and we're calling him a hacker? Even "cracker" would be too good for this feat of leetness.
Not sure I'd even deign to call him a script-kiddie.
I saw this guy who called himself a magician, but afterwards I found out that he was just hiding a card up his sleeve. Your jealousy doesn't change the fact he managed a feat you could not. It's easy after the fact to say, "oh I could do that", but the fact is you didn't. Give credit where credit is due.
I would have said vi and pen and paper, but now I like SciTE (with folding, syntax colouring, etc). The only thing it lacks is a recovery mode should the power go (it seems plugging a printer into the UPS is a bad idea). On the software side, my list for productivity would include: * RapidSVN (source control for subversion, a must for PHP and java development) * SciTE (text editor, good PHP support) * ROX (file manager) * Firefox with plugins: web developer, javascript debugger, css editor, session saver
I prefer the best tool for each job as opposed to an IDE, but ymmv.
I don't know about the USA, but in France when you get laid off you get 80% of your salary for at least a year and a half from the state. With around a quarter of the population under 25 being unemployed here, the cost of living is pretty cheap too.
the only thing that would keep someone from gambling is intelligence
luckily, there is a permanent shortage of that in the world, so online gambling has a rosy future
It's worth pointing out that poker, unlike blackjack or roulette where you play against the house, is purely against other players. The poker house takes a percentage called the 'rake'. You only have to be marginally above average to compensate for this. Competing players don't have unlimited pockets unlike a casino, also eliminating this advantage.
As for lacking intelligence, those that invest in real estate are similarly short sighted. Even more of a gamble as they have to make up for stamp duty and capital gains tax. And those that deal in stock and shares of currency dealings are equally foolish.
Your cliche may have held up a few of decades ago, when you took up a professions early in your teenage years and then were guaranteed the same job until your retirement, but in today's world learning to manage risk is a vital skill. Those that don't learn will hang on to your dogma but will then bemoan the fact that their (rapidly diminishing) state pension isn't enough to support them. Sorry to be blunt but being in the position myself I have to be honest. Online poker has taught me so much about risk management that my education failed to do. It's an important life skill.
There are some good looking women playing this game! And unlike the Internet, most of them won't turn out to have a penis!
Shame you didn't go far enough to find out. On the other hand it may be just as well...
And as an added bonus, when you play an offline tournament you don't have to deal with the prepubescent dweebies that seem to hang out on the online poker rooms.
With all due respect, you may be in xanadu playing poker naked with supermodels but many of us are busy working professionals that take snatches of online poker (often at antisocial hours) as one of the pleasures in life. Eg instead of trekking down the video rental store for some hollywood crap. I live in France where all poker is illegal and no games may be held at all. Even in the casinos (including Monaco) Texas Hold-Em is illegal. No matter what Google Maps tell you, the world is larger than the USA.
Right, so the intelligent thing would be to explain to my clients that it's Microsoft's fault and not mine that the site I just designed for them doesn't display properly for 9 out of 10 of their customers? After all, I followed the standards and it would be stupid not to!
Correct. And then you do as you mention below in your post and bill the client accordingly.
"Sorry Mr. Client, standards evangelism is far more important to me than your customers. Now, when should I be expecting payment?" Yeah, that'll fly.
Or you could talk to them like intelligent people. The appalling standard of Microsoft software is well known in the business world.
I think I'll keep using my current methodology: Design to the standards first, then add whatever hacks are needed to handle the various browser bugs in secondary stylesheets to ensure the widest possible compatability across as many browsers and platforms as I can.
There are numerous hacks, such as the great IE 7 hack, but these only plaster over the problem.
Call me crazy, but keeping the client and their customers satisfied (and, as a result, making the site display properly for as many visitors as I possibly can, rather than just those that use a "standards compliant" browser) and subsequently getting paid for my work is more important to me than beating the standards drum.
I mentioned in a previous post how I spent weeks converting this website with property in nice, france to pure CSS. Take a look in IE and Firefox and you will see there are still a few glitches in IE. It's just not worth my clients time paying to fix them and so they will stay. Works fine in Opera. Fixing cross-browser problems hits the laws of diminishing returns, where you spend a disproportionate time fixing more and more minor IE glitches that are totally unpredictable.
If we've learned anything from tax laws, it's that the more complicated you make things to close loopholes, the more you ones you open. The GPL is understandable and to date enforcable. Any deviation from the KISS principle is risky, but I trust Richard Stallman to investigate the potential repercussions and to proceed with trepidation.
I think I agree. I've pushed a few companies away from M$ to using MySQL and I've always been happy with it. It's been mainly inertia that's stopped myself and many of my colleagues from moving to Postgres. I will wait and see how MySQL respond before migrating all the sites to Postgres (thankfully I have a DB abstraction class which would make it a few minute job)
I dont understand why its so important for Microsoft to kill any competition. If they succeed in creating a bigger market they still earn more money even with lots of competitors.
Hmmm, they've become the world's most profitable company and have an obscene cash surplus by illegally crushing all competition (and have a carte blanche from the President). I can't see any incentive for them to change.
Why not start doing good things for computing for a change?
Because it's detrimental to shareholder value.
MS has been the biggest roadblock in software evolution to date and nothing can change that if Microsoft doesnt start to behaive like grownups.
Software has been held back enormously, but I can't see them changing their embrace/extend/destroy strategy whilst being propped up by all their lucrative government and corporate contracts. The only reason they've touched their broken IE browser is because Firefox has taken a few % of their market. Monopolies have no incentive to change, it must be forced upon them either by government or a fortunate change in the capitalistic market.
You're supposed to take the sim card out. That's what normally happens. If your phone's stolen you've got about a 0.001% chance of getting it back.
In my experience I get hit by two types of thief: * the first snatches it when you aren't looking, passes it instantly to a friend, who does the same, etc, and after half a dozen changes of hands it's been sold a couple of blocks away for a fraction of its value * the opportunist who snatches it then hopes you don't notice and cut the phone off whilst they call an obscure African country at X euros per minute
It's possible to get the phone back, I've done it, but usually it's easier just to get a new one on the insurance.
who you are is not defined by what you can do better than others.
Not from a solipsistic viewpoint, but in the real world you are. Those that change society have taken their talent and stretched it to push back frontiers and expand the scope of human endevours. Whether it's a legendary football (soccer) player such as Pele, Jimmi Hendrix on the guitar, or Alfred Einstein with his contribution to science, the pillars on which our civilisation rest are people that are better than other people.
Some people throw great parties or know how to make others laugh and feel better about themselves. If that is their greatest skill then so be it.
You can only work with the materials you've been given. Some are more valuable in some ways, and others have their own benefits.
Everyone should be happy with themselves or at least be given sufficient opportunity to be happy with themselves.
Bleurgh. I don't think hokey comments on Slashdot are going to reduce the world happiness deficit. The fact is that being better than other people gives most people a sense of achievement, even if it's beating a local rival company softball team.
I saw the headline, thought of Bill Gates, and to my mind came, "The police? With all the flaws in Hotmail and Outlook he allows EVERYONE to monitor your email".
I am another person who has advised half a dozen people not to go with Vonage, and decided not to go with them myself, due to the customer not being able to use their own hardware. I bought a number of Sipuras from Voxilla and have been more than happy with them. I read a lot about reliability issues with Broadvoice so went with Gossiptel instead personally. It only works about half the time outgoing, though incoming seems to be fine, and so I'm glad it's only my 2nd line:-/. Not quite ready for prime time.
People in charge of stuff like this never seem to forsee what's going to happen when the gates are opened. How much more effort would it be to have someone give out numbers to each person standing in line, then tell them to go away until their number is called? No one gets served without a number. Problem solved.
And tell them that the numbers will be called out in a random order. Otherwise you simply swap for a massive rush for the low number tickets instead.
Hula is indeed very good. I love the way it's plug and play. I download the tarball and install, then within 5 minutes I have everything configured and working: SMTP, POP3, IMAP, shared calendar. It's got a few bugs, eg trying to send an email via the webmail after a session has expired crashes the whole server, but if we don't use the webmail it's been running solidly for months.
If you look at the following web site with property for sale in Nice, you will see it uses extensive CSS. The original web site was done using tables, which I then converted to CSS. There isn't a single image in the whole of the HTML of the web site apart from a few photos which are content and not design.
Advantages CSS over tables: * the nested tables were fixed width, too complicated to convert to proportional, and if you resized the windows to anything larger than 1024x768 then you had to pan around using the scroll bars. The CSS degrades wonderfully. Even if the display breaks and doesn't look as pretty, it's still usable at any window size * pages are a fraction of their original size, and the actual content is clearly visible and editable
Advantages tables over CSS: * cross-browser compatibility. Everything always works in Firefox but IE is a nightmare. Grey bars appearing randomly for no apparent reason, margins having unpredictable behaviour, and things breaking for no reason when pixels are exactly aligned (as proved by basic arithmetic)
From painful experience I can recommend that you get the designer to mock up in photoshop, and then you design the site directly in CSS and ask for the images to be chopped into the way you need as you go along. Don't get the designer to provide you the HTML in table form which you then convert afterwards.

The IFPI Finland states that "being able to play music on a Linux or Apple computer is a privilege not a right, and that those that can't because of DRM'd CDs should just go out and buy a CD player". Hence the Finnish version just deletes every mp3 file on your hard drive.
