The hydroelectric complex comprises a 175 m high concrete gravity dam in Little Dalles Canyon, a 122 m high earthfill dam on the west bank of the river, and a powerhouse in the riverbed, immediately downstream of the concrete dam.
The powerhouse has four large generating units, in service since 1984. Each unit has a capacity of 460,750 kW. There is provision to add two more units when required. Individually the units have the largest capacity of any in Hydro's system. The concrete powerhouse is 213 m long, 50 m wide and 60 m high.
Now, true, that's when the Revelstoke dam went live, not when they started construction, but it's not like it's been 40 years since they built a new one, and they can up the output by 50% if they need it.
If you have a chance, tour the dam. It's pretty impressive.
It does happen to be our nation's capital. That would tend to make it the default assumption for large meetings like this, rather than smaller places like you mention.
If I say "there's going to be a major convention in London", I would assume London, England - not London, Ontario, Canada - and expect others to assume the same.
You're not accounting for the no-pauses blast that the telemarketers start off with. It's always more than 10 seconds before they pause, and to cut them off is rude - ergo, it takes more than 10 seconds to be polite, even if you just say "I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
I wasn't aware that women needed any technological assistance to get men to stare at their chests. You've got it backwards.
It's not technological assistance to get men to look at womens chests, is technological assistance to give men an EXCUSE for looking at a woman's chest!
"No, no! I was just looking at that LED thing. Honest!"
Happyflag, automortar, map hacks, things like that. Generally of the nature of giving you information the enemy didn't have, rather than turning on god mode, but damn it made it hard to play against teams that cheated like that.
The most blatant example I ever remember was our carrier hiding at the map edge on Snowblind, and the enemy chaser zeroing in on him with laserlike precision - but he was BEHIND AN OUTCROPPING. Too bad the happyflag model is 300m tall and visible from everywhere.....
WW2Online is, broadly speaking, a FPS. It's one where a single mission can take three hours and not have you firing a shot - or else getting plugged by some guy you never saw in one hit.
Those who love it, can't stop playing it. It's the ultra hard mode of FPS play, certainly not for everyone.
Makes me wonder what would happen, then, if the next McVeigh manages to get fissionables. I mean, he was in the US, so the US obviously was his patron nation.
I believe that an ISP could decide to bounce if a domain has no SPF record, but that's true BOFH territory and would break their mailserver pretty badly.
If I remember right, when you look at a videocamera with something IR-sensitive, you can see the focus light that it uses to put a strong known pattern on the scene in front of it.
I wonder if they just need to glance in there, with the camera sticking out like a sore thumb, or if they actually need to see the camera itself?
True enough. I checked the monorails.org website and they've got a very complete list (slanted their way, of course) of the benefits of monorails over other forms of mass transit.
Remember that low gravity doesn't change the mass, just the weight. You still need to put in a lot of energy to start the mass moving, it's just easier to build the structure to hold it and lift it up.
You're making an assumption - that the bank's webserver itself, and everything they remote link to from it won't get got.
I've seen one to many iframes with funny business inside them on presumably secure sites to keep hoping that sensible people keep that crap off the "secure" areas.
From the sound of the phrasing (I haven't RTFA), it would seem to me that the card is a relational link between your biometrics and the record in the database.
Without the card, they can't peg that ID number 481453 is John Smith. That's the privacy aspect.
The card has your biometrics on it to let them verify that you are the proper bearer - they compare it's digital copies of your biometrics to the real deal, then they know that you actually are the person that 481453 refers to, and so the green light actually applies to you.
As I say, that's just how I interpret the submission. It's probably totally wrong.
If it's something more oddball (like 28 MPG) then it's trickier.
Metric fuel consumption is fuel _consumption_, not _efficiency_, and stated in Liters per 100km.
Thus, it's dead easy to figure out how much you need for a given trip length.
The question of which is more useful would come down to "Do you need to figure out how far you can go on a tank, or how much you need to get there?" I generally know where I'm going, and the distance to that place, so knowing I need X Liters to get there is more useful than "Well, I could manage to go 200 miles."
When people say "hardware firewall" they don't mean that the entire thing runs on custom-burned chips.
They mean a device intended to be a firewall first and foremost, where some other bit of software, like the operating system, can't end up with it's ass hanging out because it runs before/beside/around the firewall. That's all.

Wow, somebody's calling Canada a major economic power?
We really just run ours for power. We don't have a nuclear weapons program to feed it all into. Seems to be working OK for us.
Couple decades, eh?

True, and it's certainly less rude than just hanging up - and if you slip in the "Add me..." bit, it may prevent further callbacks.

That could mean that it whacked into the stop pretty hard, and then couldn't return. They're not saying which direction the movement was limited in. :)
There were a bunch of cheats along the way.

Monorails vs other forms
The movie is being filmed. It is not yet being distributed. It is potential loss at that point, not real loss.
Day to day operation is generally much quieter. With rubber on concrete, rather than steel on steel, the ride is quiet(er) and smooth(er).
You can make things move in zero-G, true. However, it's not completely effortless.
The more massive something is, the harder you have to push to get it to move at a certain speed.
So yes, if you threw a baseball and a shotput in space, one of two things would happen:
You throw them both with the same force, and the baseball will move a lot faster.
You throw them at the same speed, and have to push a lot harder on the shotput.
Remember that low gravity doesn't change the mass, just the weight. You still need to put in a lot of energy to start the mass moving, it's just easier to build the structure to hold it and lift it up.

You overlook the fact that if you get hit by this, it could cost you every penny you have.

Your lawn would look like it was cut by a horde of drunken, psychotic Zen masters competing over the same sand garden.
Dude, I'd pay extra for that.
Suburbia sameness gets tiring.
That's just because the numbers are nice.

You may want the flexibility of wireless, without the security risk. No harm in trying to find a way to have your cake and eat it too. ;)
