Remote disconnect is a bad idea and shouldn't be there in the first place, the power company won't do a remote connect, they require a human be present.
Given that, the only thing the meter needs to do is transmit two things; the current read and some sort of serial number for ID - it can send that as morse code, there is no need for encryption.
Because typesetting hasn't been digital for very long in any real sense. I know companies that still maintain and use hot lead presses to do printing.
I've worked in the printing industry for almost twenty years, seen the revolution, thought it would have been over by now but it isn't.
It was three factor, you needed to know the domain first, then the specific server, then the specific pathname on that domain/server. Kudos to the press for having the inside information on the first two, then the perseverance to discover the third.
Sorry, but I'd rather have ALL the information up front to make a fully educated decision.
Bullshit
If you had ALL of the information to make an educated decision, you'd spend years reading the tracking information on the product, then the product wouldn't be available anymore.
I bought an EMC Clarion once, it came with hundreds of pages of documentation, which I skimmed. Two years later, we lost a couple drives, EMC replaced them, problem solved, turns out that one of the chips on the drives had a known failure, but it wasn't known at the time of manufacture.
There are hundreds of chips in your PC, do you want to pay the expense of tracking every one? Do you have any idea what that would cost? I buy hundred dollar motherboards, for me to research every product of every sub-company that has a component on that MB would take hundreds of hours of work, it isn't worth it for a product that isn't directly involved with life support
That's why peacocks have big bright displays, while peahens are boring brown. (This is even within the wild population of peacocks.)
I have always been curious what happened with that. Throughout the animal kingdom, the males tend to be smaller, more colorful, and better dancers. Then there's us humans. I mean WTF?
I'm glad things are the way they are, me being fascinated watching the way human females move and all.
Maybe the engineer that built the bell systems that alert nurses when a bed call button is pressed.
It's a form of communication that you get used to and works well, I know a fellow that can talk to one person in English while holding a conversation with another fellow in Morse code. Very cool and rather disconcerting.
Wow, somebody stood up, said it was their fault, and took responsibility - what a rare moment in the business world. I offer my gratitude and wish them well on what will undoubtedly be a perilous journey.
Nuclear reactors do not generate radioactive waste, they take a mass of mater with some energy content, and then extract some of that energy to make my coffee. There is less energy in the stuff that come out of the reactor than there was when it went in.
Don't mess with my coffee!
People, or humans, or whatever you want to call us, can't live on a planet outside of our habitable zone. There are enough of us on this rock that it's time to move on to another rock. NASA is looking for that other rock, I wish them well.
Pretty much, yeah, there are no meaningful differences. The soldiers are all still in the same place, the oil companies still have a monopoly, the DOE is still a total failure and the lower and middle class still pay for an inordinately high proportion of it.
The only notable thing that the Obama administration has done is pile as much debt on the American people as the last twenty administrations combined.
My grade school had a rifle range on the top floor, we learned marksmanship, cleaning, etc... We brought our own rifles (.22 caliber only) to school on the school bus and one of the teachers who thought learning proper firearms safety taught the class.
Nobody ever got hurt or was fearful of being hurt, though a lot of us learned to cook rabbit.
I had a big block V8 in a Pinto, does that count? Tubbed slicks, straight headers, dual doubles, and rollers. Gas mileage wasn't great, but damn it could get from one stop light to the next quick!
Also of course, we should ban companies from making xerographic hardware, probably facsimile machines as well.
I'm amazed at the amount of stuff my kids bring home from school that have been copied, the teachers even copy the copywrong notice.
My long standing opinion is the lawyers are just pissy about this stuff because it's so widespread and cheap, they can't figure out a way to take a cut, so they want to force people to use older technology that does incur a cost, and therefore a profit for the lawyers. Yes, I think that just about anything you buy puts some money in some lawyers pocket somewhere.
Now, about that 'Kill the lawyers' thing, sign me up, just got a new rifle, want to try it out and the neighbors think the squirrels are too cute, but wouldn't mind a few less lawyers running around.
Slashdot Mirror
Wow, that's so simple and backward compatible, or at least backward.
Is war immoral?
If I were to walk up to you and throw a punch, would it be immoral for you to defend yourself?
Interesting sig you have there, do you know what war it was invented during?

If the energy can be controlled, then there is information in it, seems to contradict the article I didn't read.

Not necessarily true, there are many packaged systems that run linux where you don't get root, Barracuda comes to mind.
I will provide your company with a 365x24 (366 in 2012) support contract with a 15 minute response SLA for 210,000 per year.
Thin clients have been around more like 40 years.
I'll never be disappointed by him, though.
What an interesting statement.

Your car will be sitting outside the dome, by West airlock #3.

Because people in Cincinnati won't support a bunch of incompetent losers, unlike people in Chicago.
Ever hear of the Bengals?
If everyone is doing a thing, it is not immoral, it is natural, like Pirate Bay.

Spray paint the re-bar that's in proximity of the copper, use a few coats to get it nice and thick.
