  1. First step is a doozy on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 0

    One thing I noticed is it does not show how people get on and off the bus. The pics show the doors and it is quite a distance to the ground.

  2. Re:Bad joke on AT&T Leaks Emails Addresses of 114,000 iPad Users · · Score: 0

    All businesses post the hours they are open at the entrance. If the owner forgets to lock the door at the end of the day and you enter after hours you are still tresspassing (entering unauthorized). Also businesses are still private (not public) places. A door is an acccess control mechanism. With AT&T leaving the 'access control mechanism' unlocked it does not leave them off the hook for what happened, but what Goatse did can still be considered unauthorized access of a computer system.

    I had my thyroid removed 6 years ago and had to start taking thryroid pills. I started having symptoms of the thyroid hormone being off, but my doctor said the levels were fine. He wanted to give me medicine for depression, insomnia, etc rather than try adjusting my thyroid meds. I fired his but right then and there.

    Then there is the government estimates. If they say next month it means next year. I have learned that instead of relying on the expected time frame that it happens when it happens.

  7. Re:Huh? on Timing Technology Behind Olympic Record Results · · Score: 1

    That is not what I said. What I said is that the US is not the only corrup government.

    I know that there is corruption in my government. It sickens me some of the things that go on. We have a president with a bad approval rating and we have a congress with and even worse approval rating, but when it comes to the voting booth then same idiots get re-elected.

    I am seriously considering voting 3rd party in this presidential election.

    There is just as much coruption in any government as there is in the US.

  9. extra power usage on New Record For Solar Cell Power Efficiency · · Score: 1

    I did not see anyone mention this, but let's say you put some solar panels on your roof or have a solar array in your yard. If you are in a really sunny area and are not home much during the day so are not using as much energy as is being produced, any extra power produced is fed back into the power grid. Legally (in the US at least) your local power company has to purchase that power from you. I have heard of some people that have done this that ends up with a check from the utility company at the end of the month instead of a bill.

    When they got the check!

    Sam's runs 13 cents a print (Can get them as cheap as 11 cents in bulk) WalMart runs 19 cents. Both of which you can upload through their websites have them sent to you local store and pick them up in an hour. Heck, by the time you upload them order your prints and drive to the store, find a parking space, they will be done when you get there.
