Your dutch auction system for power caused most of the problem.
Then follow it with all the ppl in CA want to use more and more power but don't want power plants
Then your Gov. put the water dept in charge of large bulk energy purchases at prices that his own advisors said were too high compared to the real value.
And as a former utility employee that has worked with the legal dept quite a bit, the first response to the national guard seizing a plant would be a request for a court injunction, followed by a lawsuit for abuse of power. The plants were run hard in the beginning of the year to force maintenance schedules to cause the outages. If State of CA had tried at that point to defend in court that they seized a plant that the owners had taken down for maintenance based on a set operating schedule, then they wouls have a hard day in court. Especially if any of the plant personnel were injured in the seizing of the plant. "Well we shot him because he was carrying a large wrench and going towards the boiler" sounds like a likely occurance.
You're math is exactly what the OP thought it would be. It's a $50k a month LOSS. Meaning you take in $50K a month less than you spent. Did you happen to work for Pets.com or floos?
You know, before I saw this post, I was going to clean out the garage today and throw away the junk. Now I will get some boxes and ebay them as "Mystery boxes".
This may actually be the way to become a millionaire on ebay.
So you see it as "Everyone but 1 person was exceeding the posted legal limit, and that 1 person who was in compliance with the law is responsible for the accident that followed when Sandy the Speeder couldn't stop her SUV in time, swerved and sideswiped Mel in the Mercedes, resulting in a large accident."
Yes, obviously Larry the legal driver would be at fault.
Remember jr., driving is a priviledge, not a right. You have the right of free movement within certain respects, but not the right to drive a car if you consistently demonstrate an unwillingness to comply with the laws that apply to operating a vehicle.
"You get to be a superhero for a night," Klimanis said. "We have to go to work every day. We're constantly told to buy things we don't need, and just for a couple hours we have the freedom to do what we want to do."
Um, where to begin? Well, I make my own decisions so even though "Thirst" wants me to drink Sprite, I'm drinking water at the moment. I still have control over my free time. And if I'm unhappy at work I can quit. These people need about 10 minutes with a real parent figure or William Shatner so they can move out of the basement and kiss a girl.
Men involved in fight clubs often carry bottled-up violent impulses learned in childhood from video games, cartoons and movies, said Michael Messner, a University of Southern California sociology and gender studies professor.
"Boys have these warrior fantasies picked up from popular culture, and schools sort of force that out of them," he said. In these fantasies, "The good guys always resort to violence, and they always get the glory and the women."
Got a woman without resorting to violence. I'm surprised he didn't allude to the idea that if they weren't beating each other up, they'd be fighting crime in spandex trying to fly. I mean, when I look at the first picture, I keep hearing "lightning bolt, lightning bolt" in my head from the LARP video. Why don't they try paintball or LARPing or just maybe take a karate class? And why is it always the games/movies/cartoons? Most of my sci-fi has lots of violence in it and it's in books!
"Real-life fight clubs are the male version of the girls who cut themselves," he said. "All day long these guys think they're the captains of the universe, technical wizards. They're brilliant but empty.
"They want to feel differently. They want to get hit, they want to feel something real."
Um. Ok, so now we know. These are mentally ill people that need help, and the fight club organizers are exploiting them. So what we need is dateline to go on a chatroom and pretend to be a mentally ill computer programmer that needs to feel "something real" and do a 4 hour special. (When you read "something real", did you hear the word "Breasts" in your head too? Because that's what I think they need to be feeling.)
Five-year fight club veteran Dinesh Prasad, 32, a heavily tattooed Santa Clara engineer, said he once broke a rib in a match but never complained to his fellow combatants. He also recently skipped his first wedding anniversary to attend a fight rather than drive to Los Angeles, where his wife is finishing law school.
Ok, see, he should be feeling breasts instead of some other dude. This guy is heading for a divorce on the grounds of mental illness.
This further supports my research that what causes depression is a lack of healthy sex. Myself and every guy I know is happy when they're getting regular sex. The only really unhappy guys I know aren't getting laid regularly. So depression is caused by a lack of sex. I think it's the same for women, and if there are any attractive ladies that are depressed reading this, then let me show you the cure for your depression.
I work in CompUSA, Spy Sweeper is one of the top selling anti-spyware programs. And they offer "Internet Essentials" which is a combo of anti popup, anti-spyware, spam shredder, and windows reg cleaner.
"You've never heard of a program" does not directly relate to "Value"
You've probably never heard of ETAP but it's one of the best programs for circuit analysis in utilities.
I've been using fonelogic http://www.fonelogic.com/ for about 4 months now. It's $25 a month for unlimited US calling, 1 month free when I signed up, they sent me the box, and with the QOS in the box I don't notice quality problems or transfer rate issues on my comcast service.
I think the problem is that the companies that want more money out of the internet have a mis-conception about the internet. It's a useful tool for me at home, but I can live without it when the cost exceeds affordability. I could have a gigabit line but I can't afford it, and when my broadband cost exceed my budget, I'll drop it and go to dialup, and if that is too costly, then I'll use regular mail. They think that if they are charging google, then the multi-billion dollar company will just give them money, but they miss that the source of the money is ultimately individuals using a service. That's why I switched from Compuserve to Prodigy, then Prodigy to a dialup bbs while out of work then to a Dialup provider for internet, up to isdn, then to DSL, then cable, then dsl, and now cable. It's all about what consumers are able to pay ultimately, not what the companies want to make in revenue.
This is the same reason why I don't buy CD's, I know that at the same $14.99 that they have been charging for the last 15 years, that they are making obscene amounts of money. So I don't buy CD's and I just listen to the radio. But they see that change in my spending and decide I must be pirating music because no one is allowed to change habits in their worldview. Their marketing machine says that once a customer always a customer. So if you aren't buying from them, you must be stealing. This is the same worldview that the telecom networks that built the backbone of the net have, if they want more money from the system, they should just ask for it and people should give it to them. They think they are entitled to it.
So let's all just cancel our internet access for a month. No one use the internet at all for anything.
Well, someone else is always allowed to generate a competing product and release that standard to the world to use. The first phones weren't open source. The inventor has a right to recover some profit, as much as the market will bear. My car isn't open source. GM and Ford build a product that does the same general function, but there are IP rights in the product and I can't copy their design 100% and build a Monkey Motors unit.
Man, I wonder what kind of following I could get for Monkey Motors Car?
First, you could have any color you want, as long as it's yellow or green.
What you can expect is that the Landline Phone Industry Association, LPIA, will begin a propaganda war against the wi-fi phone users, bringing back the phone phreaking icons to convince Congress that this wi-fi phone phreaking is destroying society and endangering the youth the same way as drugs and rock and roll. They will cite examples where someone uses one of these untraceable and unmonitored wi-fi phones to buy drugs while listening to rock music published by indie labels or worse yet, stolen from the internets. Then the governing bodies will generate laws to make it unprofitable for Netgear and others to manufacture the phones by loading up Federal Surcharges and eventually banning the phones because of international security concerns. The phones could be used by foreign agents to orchestrate activities that could harm our people. They must be stopped and their phones must be stopped.
Well, I don't know about Chicago, but the Detroit Auto Show didn't really have "Booth babes", there were attractive women in business dresses around the cars doing spiels, along with men doing spiels, so it is really only during the charity event that the women are in evening gowns and even then it's classy.
"vast majority of OS X users are Mac owners"
Wouldn't that be "all of the OS X users are Mac owners" I don't recall a way to run OS X on anything but a Mac... Please correct me if I am wrong, I would like to use OSX on my machines
Is there a list of all the CDs that the rootkit was included on? I want to make sure that none of my CD's that I have don't have this, without putting them in my computer to have it compromised first.
And 200 titles? How many are in the Sony BMG music label pool? Sony owns 50% of BMGmusic dot com from what I could find. BMGMusic dot com says "Browse our entire catalog or search over 14,000 music titles." Of course, some have to come from other labels, but 200 compared to 14000???????
At Sony Connect-dot-com, I couldn't find a list of total titles, but it seemed like more than 200. And for their downloads, will we have to use their connect player with its' DRM?
I want two, maybe 3.
I have 2 series 1 boxes with dbl drives, but on the big screen it's a comcast dvr. The tivos almost never miss the beginning or end of shows, but the comcast box doesn't seem to keep time correctly, lags on my commands, and just doesn't give me the happy experience that my tivos do.
Tivo changed my life. I find new products in the store because I don't see their ads. And when some chick exposes her chest on the superbowl, I can rewind to my heart's content.
Agreed. Looking at new PDAs for the office, and everything has Bluetooth now, but we don't have a single Bluetooth dongle on any of the PCs, so it means we either buy fewer PDAs so we can also buy dongles, or we get PDAs with Bluetooth but can't use the feature. They need Dell to get behind the Bluetooth so that corporate laptops come with BT. But then that will just open new security holes and we'll find people WarToothing, sitting in the grass with BT keyboards and binoculars to try to hack into the systems.
And if no one has yet claimed it, I claim the origin of WarToothing. Also Blue-givitis for blue tooth viruses and BlueFloss for programs that remove bluetooth viruses and Deep Blue Spyware. SO remember that when those talking heads on CNN try to claim my words.

Understandable, it's hard enough losing a pet, but when the pet dies in a way that saves you or another person, it would be even harder.
It's interesting that the PBell fanboys didn't turn out in droves for this one.....

Yup. that's why COMPUsa now has many of their rebates for online filing. And Best Buy is just catching up to CUSA and CCity and Staples.
No offense, but I'm not sure which one is not recommended for heavy use.
