Read the title and summary again. We are talking about supposedly not needing storage.

I would suspect many people don't understand what it takes to get power from the power plant to your house. It's not just a case of power lines. It is a delicate balancing act between all manner of components that require constant monitoring and adjustment to prevent imbalances that can result in grid failures.

Adding supplies that are unreliable/unpredictable would be quite some dance...like dancing on a 2x4...on edge, 100ft above the ground.

Facebook and Twitter and Instagram.

Time waster, narcissist's dream, enabler for the first two.

Nice mortgage business you have there. It'd be a shame if you were to be labeled as some racist organization or something.

Banks were implicitly threaten with audits if their loan profiles didn't meet certain expectations. It's the same with Operation Choke Point today where they are told they will probably be audited if they don't conform their client list to excluded businesses that match certain profiles.

Don't confuse explicit demands with implicit threats, which can be just as effective in controlling behavior.

No one argues for unregulated markets.

Reasonable regulation, built on experience, is all that people ask for and all that is needed.

Forcing companies to provide mortgages to people who are patently unqualified is an example of unreasonable regulations that resulted in untold devastation to the economy.

Now, the Feds are going around telling banks that these businesses are "bad" and that if they provide service to them, they'll be audited from top to bottom. It is a defacto suppression of Free Enterprise based on a political viewpoint.

And for those of you that would say this is a good thing, what would you say when at some point, abortion providers suddenly become "bad" businesses?

People like Waxman and others would love for us to have a Command Economy, if not literally, at least virtually. Since that is fundamentally immoral and 100% incompatible with our Constitution and the laws which flow from it, they are trying an end run around the issue with targeted regulations designed not to protect the consumers, but to encourage/discourage businesses to achieve the same results.

The can sniff out $41,000 in grandma's bra but they can't find pallets of cash going across the border.

Was this before he was kicked out of Apple for running it into the ground, or after he spent years in the wilderness learning how to actually manage a company?

The goal here is obvious: Discover all of the unsecured, or at least poorly-secured, wireless access points around the neighborhood.

Here's what has to be asked...why? Any particular reason for wanting to know this?

Isn't that pretty much like going to all the front doors and checking to see if they are locked?

"I know it is appeal to authority..."

or

"I know its (possessive) appeal to authority..."

The first has a missing word, but is still more accurate than the second since "I know" cannot possess anything.

Science is a process.

  If you execute the process badly, that's "Bad Science".

If you execute the process correctly, or at least as best you can given the known parameters, etc. then you can't call it "Bad Science", even though the results are unexpected and controversial. I would expect that even the most cynical observer would be curious as to what is happening here.

Since his article contained several factual errors related to how the experiment was conducted, it is obvious that he did not even read the full report but just the POS Abstract or even worse, various news accounts.

So actually, HE is the one engaging in Bad Science Reporting.

And the show really isn't that funny.

Penny has nice tits though.

My comment doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

What business does Google have poking in anyone's emails? Sure, they may find stuff like this that should be reported, but if you say that's OK to do, then you've established the principal and it's slip sliding all the way down the slope. Child Porn today, recall petitions tomorrow.

Replace "Child Porn" with "Subversive Material" and suddenly it doesn't see like such a good thing, does it?

Or, for you folks who like to "share", copyrighted movies, music, etc.

What would be more likely?

1. They tested a quantum vacuum plasma thruster inside a vacuum chamber, which is probably cramped, difficult to run test instruments in, and costs more than a bench top and even closed the door but DIDN'T perform the test in an actual vacuum.

2. The did perform the test in a vacuum, but the abstract simply mischaracterizes what they did because the author of the abstract was some Public Relations flunky.
