. You really want 12 gauge as a minimum, with individual runs from the breaker box to EACH outlet, 10 gauge if you can afford
I'm as big a fan of Overkill as the next guy, but just think for a second how big your breaker panel would have to be if you had ONE breaker per outlet.
Meh. I expected the same, but went to a "3D" movie that I wanted to see anyway. I have to say, it was pretty cool. The movie avoided the typical cheezy in your face shots, so I'm sure that helped. Big Thumbs Up for "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" if you're into silly kids movies.
Often, they do when installing new lines. A lot of this stuff is REALLY old, and nobody want to touch it because if it breaks, you have to spend a LOT of money to update the entire thing.
Also, it is often cheaper to just get the circuit from the phone company.
I don't get this line of arguement. I don't ask insurance to feed and maintaine myself or my car. The only time I contact either is a "Uh-oh" situation. My few medical run-ins have resulted in horrendous bills that require months or years to repay. Calling the current system "competetive" is laughable, everyone I know (Doctors included) hates it, but nobody knows how to make it better.
That being said, my faith in the government to fix things is shaky at best.
Meh, perhaps I didn't make it clear enough. I just want to try it with pair of RF shielded boxers. I don't care about the metal detector, I'll let them try to figure out why it's going off and why their scanner does not work. Last time I read the rules, they did not have anything banning silver threaded underwear.
It's not banned, nor dangerous, therefore they must let me pass. Blank stares and shrugs should answer any other questions sufficiently.
I'm not worried about the "danger", I just wanted to check around before I drop $100 on RF impervious underclothing (yep, it exists). It could be fun if they put those scanners in at my local airport.
Guess we'll just have to wait to see how the thing plays out. If it's as bad as the 1918 bug, I doubt if there is a heck of a lot we can do to slow it down. I just don't see how fanning the flames of hysteria (as I see on the news) is going to help much. Maybe I'm watching the wrong channels, but I'm not seeing them mention survival rates, just body count and a color coded map of suspected incidents that narrow it all the way down to the STATE level. Just my opinion, and hell, I'm an IT guy, so that counts for bunk :
Sorry, I'm just not that worried about it. Perhaps I'm just oversaturated with TV News disasters that never actually effect midwest USA. You can assume this is the 1918 flue-redu and hide in your basement if you like. Myself, I'm going to go to work tomorrow like normal. The fact that it's spreading rapidly in Mexico city, which is known for poor sanitation and overcrowding does not surprise me. So far the reported survival rate looks decent, I'll take my chances.
It's still a bit early to seal up the bomb shelter in my opinion.
Yawn. Just another "Disaster of the week" the news outlets are hyping to boost their ratings. I'll be concerned when it becomes more than nervous hand wringing by the talking heads.
My only run in with a Zune was over Christmas. My kid brother bought one with his own $$. I offered him access to my movie/music collection if he wanted something for the 16 hour ride home. He declined, as the files would not play without installing a bunch of software and even then it was questionable. Then it crashed over newyears. Poor kid would have been better off is a (cracked)PSP.
Why does everyone cry "Safety" whenever a small car is introduced. Think of it as a motorcycle with a roof and it becomes much easier to envision driving to work every day. I doubt if I'm the only one tired of the safety cops trying to controll everything I do. Dangerous is FUN.
So, they blew up the Nuke plant, then stole all the raw fuel ores? Does this count as war booty or just plain theft? Then again, they probably burned more energy "Liberating" this than it was worth.

Wow, I actually enjoyed that interview. Lately there have been a lot of political puff-pieces, at least this one answered some questions.
Why does it feel like they are waging a covert war against average citizens going about their daily routine? FFS, knock it off already!
Don't knock it until you've tried it, well run public transit systems are VERY convenient.
To heck with fixing up the video, just launch another rocket already and try again.
What if your boss told you "I want you to wear a camera that records EVERY SECOND while you are on the clock". Would you willingly accept?
Ever work a call center job? Everything is recorded. You get used to it, and learn to play it to your advantage. Welcome to the real world.
Ouch.
I just put my money where my mouth is. I'm in. (I mean, C'mon, it's Lessig we're backing. He's one of the good guys)

Seconded. And the more I learn about politics, the worse it becomes.
Anyone have a link to the affected sites... :

Since you are the only +5 I found with any vaguely scientific information, any idea if RF shielding clothing would block this scanner?

Well, dust of the Resume, perhaps AT&T (or Verizon, there are only two left) will be hiring soon.

Damn, me without mod points. Someone mod this funny already :
