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.

What is worse? Someone refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding, or cutting someone's head off because they are gay?

Of course, the former wasn't happening in the first place. It was a drummed up story by the left. But don't let actual facts get in the way.

So why not record pilots? After all, their cargo is much more valuable.

If you really wanted to learn how computers work you should have gotten one of these as a kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c5zp45BYWg

The radio shack kits from the 80s were awesome. I had about 5 of them as a kid. I spend hours, days, weeks learning. It's sad that the kits aren't available anymore.
