I didn't find any 200 watt wind generators currently on ebay. I did see a 300w one for $450, though. One thing, wouldn't you get much less than 200w 110v AC per turbine? Sorry, I don't know the math to suggest how much less.
Those are a fairly new change in the housing market. I don't see how they could have 'caused' a movement decades old. The last place I owned was about 3000 square feet on 1/10 acre lot. It is otherwise known as a townhouse and was 25 years old. The HOA was bad here. The new place is smaller but on much larger lot. The HOA is not nearly as bad, but does enforce housing colors. I can't afford as much land as I would like (I could settle for life on 3 acres) without tripling my commute time, so that is not practical right now. I'd have to go even further out if I am supposed to leave my current job and find something 'out there' in order to make commuting more reasonable.
HOA's are generally established when an area is first being developed. An already developed neighborhood is unlikely to adopt one. Don't many Europeans make fun of Americans for thinking 50 years is old? Most of our houses are not that old. I would expect English houses to be older on average than American houses. I am not saying that is a bad thing, BTW. If you already have a good supply of housing without having to develop large tracks of land, people will exercise their options. A good number of people may choose HOA's, but many others (like me) get stuck with it when we find a good place to live. At least this last HOA is not as bad as our last one.
I wasn't going for a cookie, but if you deem the answer adequate, please deposit said cookie into the nearest child's mouth (with permission of parent of course).
A Raid 0+1 can tolerate at least 1 arbitrary drive failure. This brings down one stripe set and so you are running essentially on a non-redundant volume. In the mean time, there are 4 disks running that also could fail with no additional consequences and 5 drives that would take down the volume.
Now, a better way availability wise against 0+1 would be 1+0. Drive failures wouldn't destroy all of the redundancy and there are better odds that the next drive failure would not bring it down.
I am surprised no one has mentioned that $13k a year (about $6.5/hr) is almost the same as $7/hr. This assumes 40 hours/week for 50 weeks. So the question becomes, where was that money savings in shipping support to India? Apparently Americans will work for "Indian wages" for support. One possible difference though, there is no comparison between their relative skill sets.
It may be inaccurate (I don't know), but how can you say a priori that the word is not being used to describe what it defines? Imagine a scenario where the Legato sales rep is buddy-buddy with the CIO: takes him out golfing and dinners on Legato's dime, in exchange the CIO sticks with Legato no matter how much the product may diverge from the company's true needs. The sales rep keeps a lucrative contract and the CIO gets free stuff: regardless of the performance of each. I don't think genuine friendship is needed wrt to cronyism. If you want to label this strictly bribery, than how is this any different than two old frat brothers who collude to enrich each other?
I was just replying to your formula of "light time static, inter-light time variable", which was too simplistic. You will notice I did allow that it did not always work as planned.
Most importantly, the actual conditions always have to be taken into effect when planning a route. Taking into account your points, I generally go from my small neighborhood streets to a more major road to an arterial road; then near the end back to a less major road to local roads to my office. Once I am on the major roads, I get the better right of way. Right turns beat out left turns, because you have the opportunity to take the turn if it is clear without waiting for the light (if your locality allows this). If you take a turn, you have a higher incidence on the first light, then you are clear. Unless you can shave a lot of time off my turning this way and that, it is best to limit them. Or at least do them at strategic points where it doesn't seem to affect you, such as before long stretches without lights.
In conclusion, not only may your traffic lights distribution may vary, but your traffic light wait distribution may vary.
BTW, I figured out that I overestimated my light time wait, it is actually less than 15%. (about 4:15 out of 30 minutes)..
We very may well spend more time at traffic lights than we imagine. However your logic is faulty wrt estimated wait times based on a bicycle trip. Lights on roads are generally timed for the speed of the road, so when you are going the speed limit, if you hit one light, you will make it through the next. There is no such guarantee going much less than the speed limit. It doesn't always work as planned, but overall does have an effect. BTW, I would probably estimate I spend about 20% of my commuting time waiting for traffic lights.
Funny, I didn't read those words in the article. However, I did read these:
Halliwell said confidentiality obligations made it difficult for her to discuss Alters's case in detail, but she argued that the professor had taken one line in the letter "out of context" and the rejection of his application should not indicate that SSHRC was expressing "doubts about the theory of evolution."
BTW, did you even read his post? SDLT drives can be bought off ebay for around $500.00.
Yes, but the way I read his entire post, it seems he has a SDLT autoloader in which he changes multiple tapes to do a music backup. The price quoted would be just the internal drive. GP could clarify this matter for us.
Which is why I said more than the tiniest mote of truth. That is where I essentially said, yes there are probably small numbers of people who might believe it, but hardly enough to say anything significant about the culture. To give a counter/similar example: I may be able to find some number of Germans who look back at the third reich with nostalgia, however I don't think that says anything significant about German people in general. Given a group of people you are always going to find a handful of nutbars.
I am not sure there is a philosophy that encompasses your viewpoint 1 as described. I strongly suspect it is your perspective that is blinding you into using an overly broad description. In almost all cases, tresspass is actionable. The exceptions involve either government intervention (i.e. not capitalism) or some form of guild city state hybrid where the corporations, unchecked by any overarching state, command armies to wage economic war.
Capitalism itself does not concern itself about the political system that surrounds it. This is where I think you are making your mistake. Right now there is no place where government does not interfere with the market in one way or another. Although the market tries to get around these obstacles, it creates inefficiences. I would not say with certainty that pure capitalism would be an unqualified boon, but to suggest that the current condition of the world economy is due to capitalism is not very well supported by the facts. In order to do so, you would need to remove the effects of the government to show that capitalism would have produced the same effect.
One of the main reasons you can't just hang out a shingle nowadays has more to do with government regulation than capitalism. It is also not borne out by the facts: Napster, anyone? Or handfuls of other companies started during the 90's. Other examples are numerous but not particularly illustrative as most serve particular niches. All industries do not need to demonstrate the same level of turnover to be competetive. So, yes, turnover in large industries is glacial, but that is not the whole economy.
I have no great love for certain segments of Slashdot, but your last line is unwarranted. First you start out with a nuanced perspective that reality is somewhere in between the two viewpoints, then you brand a large segment as being extremists. It is most difficult to understand the complexities of a viewpoint you do not hold and I think it is keeping you from distinguishing 'a lot of people on Slashdot' from your viewpoint 1. You really think a large number of people on Slashdot condone "rape, assault, theft" in the pursuit of happiness by the powerful?
Why should the people who never use these ramps pay for it? It is the use of traffic lights,etc that the electricity will presumably be used for with this invention. You might have an argument with people who do local driving in small towns (ie no lights) only during the day. The ramps are not themselves electricity consumers.
Why should those with more efficient cars pay less than those who don't have the money to buy a hybrid? It would be the same with this invention, it would take less gasoline for the more efficient car to make its way out of the artificial dip.
Why not make high traffic areas a little more self sufficient? This really has nothing to do with it. If you like, imagine that high traffic areas are the locale for a greater amount of gasoline consumption and are therefore tax generators.:P
That comment seemed odd to me. That would seem to suggest that Siberia does not get auroras now. I also seem to remember parts of Europe getting auroras as well. Alaska getting LESS auroras would make more sense to me.
That source says that "More recent work suggests that the oceans would have remained liquid at the surface in the tropics." Also, there was no megafauna on earth at the time. I think it is unlikely such large animals would be able to survive a few thousand years without appreciable plant life.
So, wouldn't be possible to configure your 'reader' to consider time in units of the 'certain (finite) refresh time'? Or some similar ways of disregarding that time, such as throwing away that amount of time after a hit. You should also probably be able to autodetect this lag delay by keeping track of the delay after the one and finding the minimum, at least to a certain degree of certainty.
The meat is not a raw material. The protein in the meat is the raw material. So, you may be taking 'off the shelf' items, but you are disassembling them down to a molecular level and reassembling them into your own desired pattern. Either that or you are composed of chinese food containers, which would explain the A.C. posting.
FLAC only compresses to about half the size of the corresponding WAV. That doesn't seem that much of a difference to me, especially going over public internet.
Even better example, I bought an item from the Sharper Image store on ebay. It was going for $47.95 with a buy it now of $52.95. Shipping charges jumped up $3 at $50.01, so I bid $50. I was outbid and the bidding went to $75. The kicker is there were other identical items with the buy it now price of $52.95 still in place.

If your network is secure without using WEP, then your easy answer is:
Visit one website through my wireless connection and I will say it is a fair cop, otherwise leave me alone.

Not so much longer than the US. (between 1815 and 1833) Also, it helped that Europe kept most of its slaves in its colonies.

Sorry, I meant that it was not apt, the lack of humor came from that. You need more than the tiniest mote of truth to build a joke around.
Of course it is fashionable to believe the worst of alot of people you have never met, especially if they live in a certain country.
Don't you worry, zero was a concept in other place first.
Also, I find your pseudo-Americanism not very funny.
