It's great (strike that... annoying) that the site prioritizes application/json over text/html regardless of quality ratings in the HTTP accept string. It makes navigating it rather pointless if you have a JSON formatting plugin. I mean, if my browser accepts application/json (no matter what quality (;q=0.n) rating I give it) the site gives me application/json.
The Trek replicators are said to work with matter though. Not pure energy to matter conversion. This is why they say you cannot create precious metals and things like pure Dilithium Crystals to power said replicator. (it's pseudoscience, but that's an explanation.) Somewhere/anywhere on the ship there's matter storage that feed the replicators. Of course, using this idea, you could break down other matter/waste to feed these stores.
My parents had a microwave Internet connection for about 5 years. The base tower was just over 7 miles away and they needed to put it on a 50 foot(15m) pole to get LOS. With guy wires and all, the connection was still particularly unstable. I don't know if they had a signal power booster in line or not. I could just imagine that it would take quite a bit more power to get that signal to go 50 miles vs the 7-8 they were doing.
The numbers on the top are obviously patent numbers. Since there are no serial numbers it's also, obviously, a prototype. No other device such as this could ever have been made.
This object could have just been the case for such a tool. (Which, in itself could be a neat find, but I doubt the object in the picture was the actual tool. The markings on the straight edge do not get further apart as you get to the edges and this is something you'd notice if it was used in the way described. (ie: With a plumb.)
I feel as though I should share some experience here... (feel free to point and laugh at me pissing away interest if it makes you feel good.)
tldr; version: I've found the Federal IRS doesn't seem to care, but when your state is trying to figure out how to clean up billions in debt, they'll send you a bill and hold your checks if you don't file... even if you don't owe.
I've found that the Federal government doesn't care as much as the State of Ohio (not sure about other states.)
Some time back, I found out that late fees and penalties do not apply if they owe you. Knowing this information was the worse thing I could know. I pushed off filing my taxes (they owed me money) because, well... I'm more than a bit lazy when it comes to filling out paperwork and I didn't "need" the refund check. Of course, once I got started it just didn't end.
I filled out and sent in my 2010 this year and got a refund check right away. I then decided to sit down and do the prior years... 2008, and 2009. I sent them all in and got my refund checks. (No thank you letter though, in case you were wondering.)
Now, Ohio was different. They realized I didn't do my 2007 taxes (I'm actually baffled how this didn't get filed and my 2007 Federal was) and they were holding my refund check for 2010 when I did it. Of course, the paper they sent me didn't say why, just that they were holding it. I went back and filled out the 2008 and 2009 taxes and sent them all in thinking that was the reason. I recently got a letter from the AG of Ohio stating I didn't pay my taxes for 2007 with a "bill" for a couple thousand they estimated I owed. (I didn't owe it. I paid it a long time ago but didn't fill out the form to say I paid it.) So I tracked back my records and found out that I did in fact forget to send in the Ohio 2007 form. I sent it to the AG and they filed it for me. I still await my check, but it's only been about 2 months now.
The boat tow vehicle could also have a pristine bed in the truck. The only way you'd know is if they left the hitch in the socket.
Also, spray in liners don't show small wear as easily as plastic. If you bought a truck to haul yard waste or pick up loads of compost... you may not even be able to tell if they wash the truck often.
There are also people that buy trucks because they work in places that require a good four wheel drive vehicle to get around and there are few options besides a truck. (snow plow, for example. They may add weight, but they could do it like my dad did and construct a weight frame that doesn't damage the bed.)
I guess my main point is that you usually can't just lump together people based on the appearance of the vehicle. Otherwise, I agree on the F350 statement. I'm sure some people overbuy.
What kills me are the lifted, extended cab trucks with tailpipes sticking out of the bed. I had some neighbors that had two of them. I can't say I've ever seen more than one person in either vehicle at any point in time.

I found that rather interesting as well. The author actually says they were looking to hire more females and the first thought through my head was: "How is this not discrimination?" They went so far as to identify sex based on first name because the resumes could not include sex.

What you did was describe a situation where someone was moving around the room loading cards, messing with reels... now you sit in the same chair most of your day.
Is it a matter of complexity or a matter of movement? Consider gaming. Mostly male sitting on the couch. You introduce movement (dancing, guitar controllers, Wii) and you see more feminine interest. Secretarial work requires moving about the office filing papers, answering the phone, checking appointments, escorting people around... dominated by females. Construction work does involve some movement and labor, but good parts of it are repetitive and/or done from the seat of a machine. Nursing vs. Doctoral work. I can see the same trend in many situations.
It makes me wonder if it's just a difference in focus and/or movement preference. Is it just that women enjoy jobs where movement is the norm?

I question the "leaving in droves" comment though. Did the females leave or did the number of males coming in just go up an a rate faster than women? According to their data, far more men have submitted resumes than women.
I thought it was standard practice to pull fuses on either side of your work area... if not, why? It's a quick task to pop one of them out of their clamps with those long fiberglass fuse pullers.
Yes, and besides the cost/upkeep of transmission lines, anyone can theoretically generate power and feed those lines. I would personally have no problem treating power lines, and fiber like we do with roads.
I've always wondered if the cost/benefit ration was good enough to do this for places like health clubs. Hook up some generators to the treadmills and/or weight machines and let the participants generate electricity while trimming down.
It's still more like semi-transparent batteries. At least from the video/image there's still a hint of shift and blocking as if something is embedded there. (ie: it's not like glass, but sort of a dirty glass.)

Which brings up a point... Television and Radio are broadcast. They don't require a return signal for two way communication.
What kind of output will your home antenna need to reach back to a tower that's 50 miles away?
The real problem will be when people start ninja-looting items to sell off and you have to fill up your ban/ignore list with morons.
Actually, what makes me curious is if they have to enforce in-State taxation for people that buy things from each other, in the same State.

Money buys all kinds of willingness to ignore one's morals and law. Just look to our Congress-people. ;)

There's more than one fuse. Up and down the line.
I guess it's not so much to cover the entire energy needs, but to cover the cost of the generators and upkeep to help supplement the energy needs.
I thought it was standard practice to pull fuses on either side of your work area... if not, why? It's a quick task to pop one of them out of their clamps with those long fiberglass fuse pullers.

"Casual downloaders" do not generally use or know about Newzbin... they still use bittorrent and HTTP downloads for the most part.
