Yes, but when you say "Let's ignore for a moment emission laws", then you're missing the point. There are many laws that limit not only how you drive on the road, but WHAT you drive. You must have turn signals, you must have a license plate, etc.
When you mod an Xbox 360, you lose the right to take it online because it no longer conforms to the specs that the owners (Microsoft) of the road (Xbox LIVE) have set.
Yup, that's the cool part of it. Imagine the possibilities for an orbiter that is fully automated, can change orbit, and return to Earth & be refueled. Put a nice camera on that & you have a spy sat that can't be tracked easily. You might even be able to put a weapon on that since it can be reloaded.
If they aren't at home, the air conditioning or heating costs will be elsewhere.
Incorrect. If they are elsewhere, it is frequently the case that the "elsewhere" continues to cool the building regardless if the person is there or not. Schools continue to cool for teachers staying late, factories often work 24/7, retail places are open well after people would be home.
Mother Nature doesn't let you bullshit the numbers and bail you out afterwords.
If by bullshitting the numbers you mean writing down factual electric meter readings and performing simple math (as TFA said), then I'm curious to hear how Mother Nature does her math. This wasn't a guessing game, the sum total electric use in Indiana increased at the same time DST was introduced. They even used the counties that were already on DST as a control group (for weather, more TVs, whatever), so don't even try to go the "correlation is not causation" route.
The point is, you're moving the hottest part of the day 1 hour closer to the time that automatic AC kicks on to cool the house for the evening.
If you could get 1 hour through the hottest part of the day before doing that, the AC will run better and require less power to bring the house back down to the desired temp.
Of course, if you don't use a programmable thermostat, it doesn't matter.
Indiana, where this study was done and where I live, gets over 32C in the summers, but can go around 15C in the winters. I wouldn't call it a hot place, because it is only that way 1/3 of the year.
So, we agree it is fucking stupid to have the USA on DST, as it isn't saving the country anything? Indiana is on the higher latitudes in the US, so what is true there is true for at least 50% of the country.
You have the choice - if you visit https://facebook.com/ it will let you run your entire session on the site in https. They obviously support SSL for those who want it... I fail to see how it's their fault?
Follow the link you attached. Log into Facebook. Click the Facebook icon on that page to return to your home page, or click on a link to a fan page you have, or click on a link to a friend's page. You just went from SSL to HTTP. They make it hard to STAY on SSL, even if you go through the work of going there manually.
What you said make no sense. If more SMS messages can't be handled because the pipes get clogged, then why are unlimited plans even available? Sounds like you would want to discourage unlimited SMS.
Also, I remember being in NOLA after Katrina, and SMS was the only thing that was reliable. Data and voice were almost non-existent, but SMS would get there, although delayed a minute.
Are you fucking high? Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone. How does Android do this that is so much better?
I followed those directions on my iPhone, but I still can't find how I can put my own ringtone for a SMS message. More then 6 iPhone users in a room and someone gets a text? At least two people will be checking their phones.
Seriously, I don't know how this has not been fixed. I can't imagine that the people AT Apple, with all of them on their iPhones, don't get annoyed on an hourly basis with not knowing who in the room got the text message!
Please use UTC when dealing with security issues like this. Yes, I can do basic math, but it is a pain to tie logs from 5 time zones together when dealing with something like this. If you want them to take action, make it as easy as possible for them.
That said, I've sent many reports like that to Comcast as well.
Oh, I got it, the anger was not at you, but at the people who actually use that word while shooting paintballs and rudely correcting ANYONE who dares call it a gun. You made great satire off of it. Like I said, the "marker" thing is a raw nerve with me. Obviously.:)
also referring to them as guns could cause blowback (no pun intended) against the industry and players. it's not about offending people, it's about not having to fight attempts to ban paintball
If you're marking trees with it, sure, call it a marker. If you shooting someone with it, it is a friggin gun. That was my point, they call it a "marker" because if they call it a "gun", people get pissed and cause "blowback". Are you even allowed to shout "HEADSHOT!" or do they make you say "I just marked you in the helmet!" or "Ouch! You just marked me in the ass!"
Do these same people call lasertag guns "illumination devices"?
Animations of soldiers dieing and hitting the ground will be replaced with characters raising their marker and walking off the field.
"Marker", a politically correct word for a paint-ball GUN. It shoots a fracking projectile, is shaped like a gun, and while it does not use a chemical explosion, behaves like a gun. Yet they call it a "marker" so that over-sensitive people are not offended. Thank you for picking the scab off of that wound.
I used to work at a bank, and I really wished for something like this. Imagine a network with no home connections, nothing moving across it but VPNs. VPNs from bank to bank, power company to government, etc. Every node would be authenticated. No worms.
In this type of network, I can turn the logging on my firewall to the max, and anything that even looks at my bank's firewall with a ping can be reported to the agency that runs the show. Once it is confirmed that they're going where they should not, they're kicked off the network.
The issue I had is that because there are so many cases where bank A needs to talk to bank B, and neither want to have the T1 line under their name. If the Internet goes down, no money can be moved and there are big problems. Making a walled place for this would be great.
People need to understand that you can EITHER have security OR the ability to be anonymous. If you want one, you're losing the other.
To do what, exactly? What credible threat does it pose for this information to be available to the world? Is a murderer going to drive to my town & kill me because he doesn't like my garage door color? Are this many people scared of their own shadow?
This is Google. They drive up and take pictures of your house.
OMG! Pictures of my house, on a public street, where thousands of people can drive by and see it? MY PRIVACY IS RUINED! I might as well post my SSN on the Internet now!
Do you use Google to search for items for sell by auction, or do you go to eBay and search there? If someone believes in a certain faith, and is searching for something like "teachings on sexuality", why would they go to Google & get both offensive and irrelevant results when they can go to the search engine that will give them the results they want? Yes, deciding never to search for anything unless it is on the "holy" search engine is stupid, I agree. However, that does not mean that the existence or use of such sites is stupid.

You mean it's been in the air for seven months?

since the town where that show was set seemed to exist in a fictional world where they were both below the tree line and above the arctic circle.
Yes, those places do exist. This map shows several places in Canada and Alaska.

Daylight savings saves (hence the name) billions every year in electricity costs."
Incorrect, DST causes more electricity to be used. It is bad for the economy and the environment. Hint: Air Conditioning uses more power than lights.
>>>The first act to prevent death, is to not start the war in the first place.
You assume the US wanted to prevent death in general, rather than to prevent death of its citizens who remain stateside (not in the armed forces).

I don't see any that would replace the built-in app, at least not in the official US iTunes store.

It was tax money. That was all money scraped off of the profit that everyone made. It should have no LONG TERM effect on the economy.

Right, because I never see commercial airplanes with 100+ people in each going over my back yard.
