And this is where the problem is. The local government is playing by different rules. They can make the tax payers pay for the capital costs the service and not have it pay it back. That's different from the private sector, which has to take out loans to build the infrastructure and then pay it back. So right off the bat there's a huge difference in public vs private.

It has more to do with a level playing field than anti-government sentiment.

"Business users will have the option to set their own update cycle"

I've had that for a decade now. WSUS has been pretty easy to manage.

Since when does "government experience" = leadership experience? What achievements in government does Hillary have?

I'm not a Fiorina supporter by any stretch of the imagination.

If that's the case then it definitely becomes a very expensive proposal and the time to recoup the expense grows greatly. But I guess whoever installs these systems intends to live in that house for a very long time. I wonder how these systems affect the resell value of the house. I can see some positives, but I can also see some drawbacks.

The US government has been breaking laws for years with no consequences. Why would this law be any different?

But if power is cheapest at night, and you're using the most expensive type of replacement energy how is this going to pay for itself? I can't see this paying for itself in 5 years if you still have to purchase the solar panels, plus installation charges for everything.

I'm just curious. My energy rates in Iowa are dirt cheap. But I have to run the furnace a lot in the winter and run the AC a lot in the summer time - even at night.

I have a Z10 with 10.3.1 and I don't notice any lag.

Gen Petraeus had a handful of documents in his desk. Hillary had tens of thousands of government emails stored in her own server and then wiped it without any government oversight.

Why does it need to be in the title? It's in the summary.

Yeah, it definitely makes a person think before making the next purchase. I would expect most of the "smart" features on my Samsung TVs to work for the life of the unit.

You must be new here.

This! For the love of God, this!!!

I can't believe how stupid people are. They want to populate a desert and then complain that there's no water.

While AM has a better range it is next to worthless during a storm. Lightning strikes interfere with the signal making it impossible to hear the broadcast.

This is what is happening in the US. It makes me sick. They advertise a job with minimal information; disqualify the US worker on the basis that they are under/overqualified, request too much pay, need to relocate, etc; and then turn around and hire a foreign worker.

The video I linked will make you sick to your stomach to find out that we have US citizens actively trying to screw over other US citizens in the job market. This ends up hurting everyone.

This is what is happening in the US. Companies are disqualifying American workers so that they can justify hiring foreign workers. They claim that they can disqualify based on any reason: over qualified, requested pay too high, etc. They don't even try to negotiate. They come up with ridiculous requirements that are impossible to meet and then turn around and hire a foreign worker with a different set of requirements.

It's not right.
