I am sufficiently good at it (except for singing, your ears will bleed if I sing) and I couldn't care less if it is performed by a cover band. Hell, some of the songs I have liked more as covers than the originals.
No army before WW2 eh? So how did we fight world war one? How did we fight the civil war? How did we fight all those wars before then?
We had a policy to stay out of European affairs but we damn sure had an army. We changed that policy after being dragged into two world wars and seeing the tragic loss of life they caused.
Sure, we do have a lot of bases worldwide but many of them are because of defensive treaties. For example our bases in Japan are there for defensive purposes and were used for reconstruction of Japan after the war, same with Germany.
Also, a lot of them are holdovers from the cold war in which we prevented the soviets from taking over Europe. Or do all you Europeans want to be praising the soviet motherland?
Bingo, It is our consumption though, it is real number not a leak. We do have 3 fridges (one is set up as a keg fridge for our microbrews) and with 4 people doing laundry the washer is running quite a lot. Dryers and water heaters are actually the most power consuming devices in your house next to an A/C so I do use far too much power there.
Now granted we could cut down on usage, It wouldn't be that bad to get rid of the keg fridge. However we happen to like cold beer on tap so we tolerate. Also, 4 people buying separate groceries means we do use both of the fridges but i'm sure if we moved to more non-perishables we could manage our situation with only one. But cutting back on laundry would be impossible, and we can't use a line dryer (HOA) so we just have to suck it up and deal with high bills. oh and also, none of my neighbors are hooked up to my house, I know this because I have no neighbors on my side of the street, they have all been foreclosed on.
I wasn't looking for suggestions though, I was simply trying to state how a person could get a high bill without much work and that without a KW/h measurement the cost means nothing.
Of everyones suggestions yours makes the most sense, however I rent so its not applicable to me. But that would at most reduce our bill to our winter amounts, which are still nearing 300.
Me lose heat in the winter? Did you miss the Florida part? We dont even run the heater or A/C 8 months out of the year! June-Sept is all we ever have it on for because the weather is nice the other months.
Nice how you assume I live inside constantly. I don't. I enjoy cycling and don't even own a TV. That being said, I want you to try living outside in Florida in the middle of summer, it's every bit as miserable as trying to go camping in Buffalo, NY in January. It's just another extreme.
I live in Florida, in the summer my bills approach $500 for A/C set to 76 and 4PCs in a 2 story 4400sq ft house with 4 adults. The house is less than 2 years old so it should be decently insulated though the windows are only single paned.
Even in the winter when we have the A/C off we are still looking at high 300s for our power. This is because cooking, cleaning, and heating water for 4 people does take a decent amount of power, also after a certain point we hit a conservation cap and our rate for power soars for each kilowatt hour. The cap isn't reasonable at all as well, its quite low.
When Eccleston's doctor regenerated into Tennant's doctor he specifically said "Will I be a male or a female?" This should be proof that a doctor can regenerate into a female form.
Because it is a good way to help with the space tourism industry. Begin financing industries trying to monetize space and we may have a whole new industry spring up (with all the associated jobs!)
Look, game developers cannot have it both ways. Either they make it possible to have newbies have a chance against the experts and annoy the experts or they make it a game of skill and drive new users away from the experts. It sucks for the experts but they do find ways to win anyways if they have any real skill at all.
I really know where your coming from. I went to my doctor once for carpal tunnel syndrome but he was out of town, so one of his associates saw me. I told him I was pretty sure I had carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a referral to a specialist. His response? "What's that?" My jaw dropped then I had to explain to this guy what carpal tunnel syndrome was. Told my doctor later about that and he passed it off with "Well that's Dr. (whatever his name was) for you. Not the brightest bulb."

Now i love Firefox just as much as anyone but the mutli-threading was a good idea. I cant tell you how many times I've had the browser crash because some idiot decided to load their page up with javascript doing everything just because they could. Also, most CPUs are getting multiple cores the browser might as well use them.
You almost had me sir, then I realized that not only I, but everyone on this site, doesn't have a mother in law for you to give this drug to. Your plan has been foiled, HA!
Having lived in Ephrata myself I have to call you on this. There is no way your getting a riverfront property there. There is no river. also the plots in Ephrata are not 40 acres, they are much bigger and the houses are much bigger, but your not going to get a 40 acre plot. Maybe an acre or two for those prices. That being said, even if your post was ridiculously exaggerated your point is still valid, you can get much more bang for your buck outside of California.
Yeah Latin is still available to anyone who wants to take it, though most opt for Spanish to fulfill their foreign language requirements. I would guess even French gets more students than Latin though.
Using your expected 20 year lifespan and tfa's 9 year break even point he should potentially make a little more than 2x the cost of the install over the life of the asset, which is more than reasonable to own
Accepting stolen property is only a crime if you know its stolen. For example, if the thief turned around and sold it on craigslist, contacted you only by email, and delivered it to you you would have no reason to suspect a thing, nor would the law expect you to.
I wonder though, would (A)(1)(C) apply to a person recovering deleted files? They meet the requirements of (c) by recovering lost property, and meet (1) by accepting employment to obtain and furnish the data. IANAL so I may be interpreting this entirely wrong, would someone who knows what they are talking about fill me in here?
If it ever came down to a modern civil war the army wouldn't want to use your home as a barracks to save money. No, they would want to use your home as a forward operating base to keep a constant military force in a certain location, not having that capability would really cripple any military force against its citizens
As we have seen with wireless networking gear in the past companies are all too eager to screw the consumer with incompatibilities because of pre-spec products being released. If Intel was doing this I would say good for them, its rare a company would actively try to protect the consumer from these vultures.
Sorry, but if it's east of the Cascades, then it's "Eastern Washington" (at least to those of us on the wet side of the state).;-)
except eastern washington, the areas around spokeane and such are all green, central washington is fucking barren and hilly, its no wonder NASA is out there, its the closest thing we have on earth to the moon.

It is called Ono and it can be found here
Of course it doesn't, I didn't even imply that, i used the word hope because I am not a person who would have first hand knowledge of that.
However if you assign your copyrights to the FSF like they suggest i would definitely see that as a donation, hopefully the IRS would as well
actually its more like this to change to a different version: ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/python
