I am constantly surprised by things that haven't been updated since 2008 that still work correctly on windows 10. Then I wonder is it abandoned or has it just not needed anything fixed in the last 8 years?
I've never understood how that could be correct it wasn't manufactured for free all resources used in its manufacture had to be paid for and the company that made them made a profit.
Are they manufactured in some mythical land where electricity is free?
So that's the largest solar plant in the world and it only outputs 648 MW?
I'm having trouble finding something to compare this to since the nuclear plant near me generates 846 MW with one unit (total 1824 MW) course it was built back in 1974 at a cost of $901,500,000 so about $494,243 per MW (Back in 1974) about $2,423,384 per MW in today's dollars and this project only cost $1,047,839 per MW. Hmmmm. I wonder if you could find a way to make solar panels work at night for less than 2 mil per MW?
88 hours Netflix claims to need 25Mbps for 4K Most providers (comcast,att) are switching to a 1TB cap now. Or did you mean those of us that can't get wireline service? Oh they're still pretty screwed they either can't get the speed required to watch 4K or can't afford the GBs required to watch it.
Please correct me if i'm wrong on this but IIRC not one of the candidates was against the surveillance state.
Trump has said he wants to put abortion back in control of the states. (several states have made great progress killing off nearly all the clinics with just building code requirements what does he think they will do if given the option to ban it again altogether?) Trump appears to be neutral on the subject of gay marriage. Yep. (both sides agree) we don't have enough tanks on city streets have you heard about the drones being used here in the states yet? Yep (both sides agree here too) There should be no limits on what the Gov't can collect but when it comes to keeping track of your medication which if mismanaged could actually kill you HIPAA GTFO.
We get very poor choices. For desert we have shards oâ(TM) glass or beach apples. What would you like? Neither? That's all the options you get and you have to pick one or someone else will pick for you.
I've done that before my last cordless phone system at home (I no longer have a home phone) I cut the wires going to the speaker in the base station. Hey if I can't answer the phone at the base station (no built in speaker phone or handset) it needs to shut up so I can hear the cordless handsets ringing in the other room.
It tends to degrade into an argument in very short order so its understandable that the two sides would prefer not to talk.
A:What do you think about the presidential candidates?
B:Those dumb@$ democrats are running this B* who had a bunch of people killed, kills babies, voted for the war, destabilized N countries,hates kittens, her party screwed their other candidate, ect ect.
A:Well dumb@$ what makes you think that orange haired manic is a better choice? He's repeatedly screwed people he's hired out getting paid after they have already done the work, supports the use of torture, has no experience in politics, hates puppies, he resembles an orange, ect ect.
B:Well Fk you I'd rather have a maniac than that crooked b* any day!
(B: leaves slamming the door behind him)
A:dumb@$ (shouting out the door) I'd rather some crook had the nuclear launch codes than some maniac that might actually use them!
blah blah blah blah.
IMHO they were both really shitty choices. Would you rather be stabbed in the back or stabbed in the front? Sure there is going to be a lot of people with strong options either way but the end result is the same either way. We get screwed by our FPTP voting system. For 300 million people we have two choices for leader. If a 3rd party wanders in nobody will vote for them because it means splitting the vote and virtually guaranteeing a win for the person they and the majority do not want. Would you like a "peoples choice brand" shitpie a "voters choice brand" shitcake or a "unbranded generic" lemon meringue pie?
Both sides are so polarized now that discussion is difficult at best and hazardous to your health at worst.

And here I thought computers hated water.
What you mean like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ?
Thats pretty cool but I want something that can tell me where the gophers are in my yard when will it be accurate enough to do that?

How much does insider status cost? I've run into that problem more than once.
Did I miss something? I don't remember either candidate so much as suggesting that they would do anything about the rampant government surveillance.
Finland said they couldn't use it for power generation but it's apparently still good as a gift.
How did you even manage to double post?
How can it "force the others to follow"? Won't it just drive the cost of coal down? Lots of supply & little demand = lower coal prices.
Soon they won't be advertising clean coal anymore they will be advertising cheap coal. Cheaper than any other fuel by far.
Not so bad when compared to what they do around here http://5newsonline.com/2016/09...
All the cash in the atm VS The storefront, the displays, the atm and all the cash in the atm.
I agree.

I have a feature phone because 1: it works wells as a phone and 2: I can swap the battery whenever the charge gets low.
Oh cool the city fiber here is a member.

I'm not sure if I should be surprised or annoyed to find that COMMAND.COM is owned by 3M.
I don't understand how that has an effect in the US aren't the states themselves the voting districts? If not why not?
How long is this thing supposed to run?
Most smartphones only run like 3 hours tops if your actively using the screen.
Are you talking about the isps that have cheaper rates because they don't do zero rating?

There was a lot of hot air from the elections this year.
Yeah on most of the older stuff it was a setting.
on the recent stuff you have to mod the firmware to get it to shut up.
That said it would be pretty cool if we got a choice of car noises for low speed. If not that will likely become a fairly popular mod.
