1M$ worth of generators from lowe's won't work, as I'm fairly certain that they don't sell 3phase models. Running any kind of electronic equipment on a standard 2phase generator is asking for trouble.
Alternatively, if the kid goes though life believing what his parents tell him... at some point he's going to find something that they lied about or otherwise misrepresented. Then he'll find another, and another. Cynicism will set in... and then the challenging of authority that results will not be based on any logical premise, but on a reckless abandonment of all the things that the kid once thought to be true.
You've got t break some fucking eggs to make an omelet. Let the kids get hurt, that's the point of evolution making kids' bones soft - they're less likely to break in most situations than someone who is 20 years older. I, for example, respect electricity and guns having shocked myself and shot someone else - likely far greater than someone who has not experienced the same.

Ah - I'm a mac guy, so no joy for me... for now. Though I want to say that the memory remains powered when in sleep mode even though the battery can be swapped out. There is a battery that holds things for 10 or 20 seconds in that case, so no differentiation between standby and hibernate.
No windows laptop- -no reason to have a difference.
I don't see why computers should write the RAM to swap/hd. Why not simply keep the ram powered and the data retained, but turn off all other system and sub-system components? Is there a technical limitation to doing this? I'm sure there is a break point where the time spent writing to disk uses less battery than powering the ram, but couldn't there then be two types of sleep?
just to pick nits... and because its along the lines of what i do, chalcogenide isn't a material exactly, but a class of materials in the same sense that nitrides are a class of materials. chalcogenides have O, S, and Se Te usually, sometimes also Eu and others.
europium chalcogenides were the first semiconducting magnets, predating the field of spintronics (spin electronics which has been a subject of a few/. articles) by 20-30 years... but their useable temperature is a max of 4 or 5 kelvin.
ahhh, but the choice in naming it Office 2007 means that they can keep this version on the farm through 2008 and not be antiquated... what's window's office version at now? 2003 or something? and we're in 2006?
There's something about comments made on/. stories on the weekend that just have a different ring to them... than comments made on weekdays. I'm not complaining, I think it's great.

Yes he did. Hell, I've never even seen it or know anything about the story. Didn't even both to read beyond that sentence. This means I'm PROUDLY saying that not only did I not RTFA, but that I didn't read the summary of the review of TFA.
You know, I laugh at the RTFA posts that usually come out when someone makes a bone headed comment. But I don't think I've ever seen a RTFS post (correct me if I'm wrong, it may have happened before) so here goes:
How bout that summary for this article that points out that THEY DIDN'T GO FOR IT and hey, what's this, a post about how THEY DIDN'T GO FOR IT. Who to believe? My world is torn asunder.
Next you'll see people cutting and pasting without attribution! Heavens to betsey.
I'm sorry but I have to submit that this dude's slashdot account be revoked. A flame that is well reasoned, correct, and sufficiently mocking? That's not only improbable, it's probably a sign of coming apocalypse. What are, you, some kind of super-human? Or are you an engineer?.... avoiding my usual grad student drudgery....
yea, expect the genius who bought one from me that was clearly labeled broken (in all caps, in the title and description) complained about it not working. a swift kick to the junk, and he stopped complaining.
It is not true that solar cells take as much energy to make as they can put out in their lifetime. This is a 10+ year old false claim. Even including the energy of pumping all the water needed puts the time to break even at about a month (?) of continuous light (so, maybe 6 months of average outdoor use.
I think you misunderstand the problem - the test of which the parent spoke is a single test, administered once. Not the testing that occurs mid-term or at the end of a chapter, but a cumulative test based on your entire highschool curriculum. The teachers/schools are evaluated on their students' scores which is where the problem starts. The idea behind it is that then all students get the same level of education (or an attempt at it) across all backgrounds. The problem is that the bar is low and it doesn't interest the educators to go beyond the bar.
Some schools in the US do teach a broad, non-test based program and their students excel.
No. No. No. The cracks are a result of mold design - the plastic flowing in comes around the pins from both sides and two cooled faces meet, resulting in a slightly lower transition temperature, with the apperance of a 'crack'. If all of the injection molded pieces you ever saw were made of such high clarity material, you'd see similar 'cracks' abound.
nothing that can be done about that but suck it up.
I encourage you to try it without the sodium... chlorine ions are, shall we say, not very good for you. Salt may dissociate in water, but it's safe there in equal quantities. Surprising that something so bad for you doesn't violate sanjimon(?)'s principle.

FYI, this project has had great activity though it is not open source. It is called "iTunes" and can be acquired directly from the apple website.
as an american, I heartily agree. then again, i'm one of the few 20% or so who even have a passport, let alone have used it.
my roommate, for an even odder example, has traveled the world but still says "i only vote in the important elections"
guess we're all just a bunch of jackasses.
You must be new here.

"want to see real American's elected to office" sums it up nicely, what with the grammar being out of control in the kids these days.
