Comment Re:Kim Dotcom == Eric Cartman?! (Score 1) 165

In Korea, Kim is a surname. Koreans do refer to each other by surnames rather than given names so it gets a bit confusing.
Kimberley is the name of a place. As a given name it is unisex, though in America mostly given to girls. As of late, the inexplicable popularity of a female named Kim is tilting the balance to make it a girl's name. Same as Paris.

Why guesstimate solar production? Use NREL's PVWatts application: http://gisatnrel.nrel.gov/PVWatts_Viewer/index.html
Click on your city. Click 'send to pvwatts'. Enter the solar system size in kW (default is 4.0). Click calculate.
Depends a great deal of where you live, of course, because energy prices and solar radiation vary quite a bit across the USA.

We just need to make sure everyone reproduces responsibly to keep the population constant, reinvent our technology so it would only depend on renewable resources, put an end to all violent conflicts because the destruction is wasteful, and then... go extinct when the sun burns out. The only tool for the survival of the human race is a ticket off this rock.

Buy a $20 shirt for $0.02 then sell it back for $15 : the vendor vendor loses $14.98 ( +$0.02 cash, -$15.00 cash, gets to keep the shirt ).
So, you see, by selling the shirt back you're actually doing the vendor a favor!
