I've read that the CurrentCost monitor isn't very accurate as it has a SET power factor and doesn't calculate the power factor, producing results that can be off as much as 10% or more.
At a previous job, I worked in a room with desk space set up in a large U shape around the room. Each of us worked in or near one of the corners, facing out (to windows, wall, or through the door out into the rest of the building).
I found that this worked well for both doing your own work without interference (headphones and music also helped) but also lent itself to collaboration. All I had to do to ask one of the other devs a question was turn around and speak up.
I really don't like the idea of facing toward other devs without some sort of barrier blocking my view, as I would think I'd find it rather distracting.
This article is such a troll. And why even mention that ONE SOURCE says it's better than iTunes, if you don't have any details?
It's just a troll for responses, and I've been trolled.
I must be new here...
It's so big, they even put a SUBWOOFER in it!
Better be careful with this on your lap (if your lap can support its weight), not only might it cause infertility due to heat, but it will be booming and bouncing all over your lap as well.
There's a rule most experienced Apple users know: Never buy your RAM from Apple! Yes, they jack RAM prices. It's a known fact. If you want more RAM, buy it with the lowest they'll put in it, sell that RAM on eBay, and buy some yourself at another place.
WPA works fine as long as you're updated with the latest software. I've people having trouble both macs and windows connecting to my WPA network. The Mac user hadn't downloaded the appropriate updates. The windows user - I have no clue. I'm a Mac guy.
Remember, this is just the number of reported laptop thefts in SF. The actual number is probably higher.
People are less likely to report the theft of a laptop than, say, if their car got stolen. Especially if it's not a brand new laptop, though those are probably less likely to get stolen.
Thank you, that was the answer I was looking for. Just because hot water and hurricanes correlate doesn't mean one necessarily caused the other. There could be another factor that caused both.
I was working on a complex web application for which we specifically only supported IE>=5.5 and greater and FF>=1.0. It was a you-need-an-account type of thing, so we were less worried about the random lynx user or people with js disabled.
You are correct in the case of a widely available site used by more than a few specific organizations.
That's exactly what the button class is used for. In the company that I worked for, we wanted to have absolute control over how our buttons (submit, clear, etc) would look in a browser. So we used styled links, because there is no guarantee what a form button will look like in a given browser (Safari is a good example of buttons that you can't control at all).
Even if you do want to warn users that "we do not support browser XXX," you should at least have a link or some way around your browser-detect feature so users can opt to use your site in their "unsupported" browser, at their own risk. It's just common courtesy.
As for the power line myth - they didn't prove it by any means. Consider:
1) They didn't know the current on the wires above them, compared to the current of said myth, perhaps it wasn't very high voltage at the time?
2) They had a huge loopy coil of wire, something makes me think that there are more efficient ways of developing an inductive coil...
The show is fun to watch, but it makes people who have sense ask a few more questions.

I do this anyways, as does MY dad.
You've neglected the real reason to do this: because I can.
Windows initially is fine, I just don't want to run Parallels 24/7.

Still working with a dial meter here. =)
I do have a spinning disc. ;)
I'd like to monitor the entire house. I've thought about the whole shebang... monitoring every circuit - but that would be more complex and expensive.

... and you can wake me up when the processors themselves are smaller than a square millimeter. I need them for my new thumb-top computer design.
Excellent! Now we just need an open source iPhone!
I don't have a cell phone, you insensitive clod!

White is the presence of all colors, thus the only way to turn white to yellow is to remove some of one color. Like blue.

Do they run linux? How about a beowulf cluster of these?
This reminds me of the page on the many permutations of the spelling of "Aargh."

Now that had me in stitches.
