ok...so lets just say you are kind of close on these numbers. 12million up front and roughly 4million pay-back each year? So in 3 years it has paid for itself and the next 22 years of the warranty period is 100% FREE electricity! Even at 16million up front or hell....even 20million the system stll pays for itself and gives you many years of free power.
I found a great way to handle those little "wall warts" such as chargers for cell phones and my electric razors: I put them all on one big power strip and have it plugged into a timer that only runs for 2 hours overnight so when I wake up my stuff is usually ready to go and the other 22 hours a day they are all turned off. I thought maybe the timer would be wasting what I saved but,it seems a good timer uses less than 1 watt while running but,YMMV
Ahhh,ok....So it's a Federal Court located in Illinois not just some state court.I couldn't tell from they way everyone was talking about it.They kept saying a "Illinois court" instead of a "Federal court located in Illinois".I wish people would be more clear when they post...I lost karma over all this:(
Would a water cooler pump the heat out of the case?I'd think as long as the whole building was under the 35 celsius a decent water cooler should pump the excess heat out into the room atleast.
Isn't the actual charge of contempt a criminal charge?Like if you are in court for something stupid and tell the judge "Go F yourself" he can hold you in contempt and have you jailed...that sounds like it may be a criminal charge but,IANAL so I dunno for sure.
So now if they refuse the judges order the contempt charge would be a criminal charge and then they would be subject to extradition agreements??
Are the "editors" on a perm break today?I have been seeing alot of typos so far today and this was in this story twice:
"At launch, the online store will have nearly 200 Runes. Starter packs ($8.49) include 30 random Runes and boosters ($2.99) contain 10 random Runes. Players can play PoxNora with pre-constructed starter decks for free."
And some stories have apparently been submitted by " " LOL...see the post titled "Neil Gaiman Talks To John Dvorak"
Maybe there needs to be a better review/system before submissions actually get on the first page
Everyone keeps ranting about how the "illinois Court" has no jurisdiction in this place or that place.
That's wonderful except,as I understand it,the case was moved to higher court before there was a judgement.
So now there is a default judgement in a FEDERAL COURT.....not an Illinois Court so STFU about what an Illinois court can and can't do...maybe RTFA or the other 10 million posts about the story here on/.
SMB support my ass....see my post above...what good is "support" if you can barely use the SMB mounted shares?
FTP access was ridiculously slow also so it wasn't a SMB problem
Did they get the "bugs" out of the networking/samba support? Last time I tried mandrake it was a mess for my gigabit nic cards....extremely slow and I tried everything I could to fix it! I finally gave up after a month! and switched to debian...worked perfect right away and when I say slow I mean S......L.......O.......W I couldn't even play an mp3 over the LAN It's a basic sk98lin type nic card..nothing fancy or wierd asked for help in all the "club" forums...nobody had a clue....cancelled my subscription after the debian install I still wonder what I actualy paid for cause there was no real support for any problem I had
There is an alternate DNS service running already.....the cesidian root http://www.cesidianroot.com/ I host 2 root servers for them might be worth checking out for some people
Slashdot Mirror
SL is nothing but IRC with some crappy graphics
Wake me up when they put a virtual world online that more like something from the movie "Tron"
And,I might add,what if the original energy used to create the PV's was generated using (GASP!) Solar power?

This might even better http://www.acehardware.com/sm-ace-6-outlet-power-s trip-with-timer-sp-sjt43-0--pi-1443544.html
No idea how much power it draws but,it sure makes it easy.
You could just setup one or two charging stations around the house and leave all those little "wall warts" plugged in and ready to go but,turned off most of the day.
Can we put that nuclear reactor in your back yard?
I live near TMI and the LAST thing I want is another reactor near me!
