Usually, the energy company is already producing both energy by both renewable and non-renewable means. You can pay them to say that your energy is only coming out of the renewable side. This does not really affect anything in the actual

I feel like the general response is that, "this is aimed at rich people, they are not sensitive to price, so it doesn't matter."

Software procurement also tends to get hung up on EULAs because someone decided they want a fancy indemnification section that that lawyers at EnterpriseCorp don't want to agree to.

"Insourcing" doesn't sound like it would be very simple since I don't see what incentive HP has to let the people go to GM.

It's interesting that they are doing research using images that are going to be obsoleted very soon as the probe gets closer.

Are you the only one using the system? That seems to be the big barrier to greater acceptance. Convincing everyone who lives in a house to not use the wall light switches is pretty hard. Heck, we basically leave our AV receiver on all th

Chat rooms are pretty toxic on a discussion site where the majority of users are not on the chat room.

Just because they give them out for free (to a very small specific group of companies) doesn't mean they don't have value.

Priceline breaks down their financials into domestic and international bookings, based on the location of the unit doing the booking. Booking.com is based in Amsterdam so is counted as international bookings, along with agoda.com and some

FUD? So you search for "twitter" and try the top five apps. #1 is Twitter's official app. So they get a point for that. #2 is Instagram. Close but no cigar. #3 is TwiGrow which looks like some kind of scheme to get more fol

I don't understand how apps would get pinned in the first place. Is Apple going to create pins for every app that would show up in searches on Pinterest?

Surprised there are no anti-trust concerns.

People planning weddings or home decoration used to have scrapbooks where they pasted in cutouts from magazines showing ideas they liked. Pinterest is the online version of that.

Practically, the number of people who need to ever use a paper size other than letter/A4 is minimal. So any elegance is pretty much lost.

by smackfu 12y ago
US Letter is shorter than A4, so it seems like they should fit fine? I guess it's 6mm wider but that is not much.

That's the problem with networking, right? That the environments you are running in are so diverse that it's nearly impossible to test all the situations. I'm sure that the Apple testers didn't think it was buggy befor

>DNS is not broken, it is working as intended - just differently from the past. Yeah, but the rewrite is buggy as rewrites often are. If it worked as intended, I doubt so many people would have so many problems.

My free account can access the release notes though. Which I admit is not that great.

Seems odd to use Youtube views to determine whether the Super Bowl spending was worthwhile. You have to choose to watch a YouTube video, while the Super Bowl ads are pushed to everyone.

You only need to be at the free level though, not the $100/year, so it's not much of a barrier.

The one example I can find was two 42m blades from China to Denmark in 2010. I would think they normally go by ship, so maybe they were in a rush? And if they were shorter, they would use a smaller plane.

Yeah, FlightRadar 24 tends to have better data: http://www.flightradar24.com/reg/ur-82060 And it is on a full schedule, but it is so expensive to rent that I'm not sure it's actually booked 24/7 like the

The Boeing price is firm while the Antonov price is much more fuzzy.
