Right there.
You do realize that Slashdot is not a news channel, but a news aggregator right? They take time for a story to go from being submitted (by users!) to being upvoted, to appearing on the front page.
I wish I could convince the HOA to install solar, but that is one of the drawbacks to owning a townhouse...
Redoing a bathroom costs around $30k. What homeowner would balk at that kind of outlay for a home improvement project? (hint, for every $ you spend improving your home, you get back around $3 in home value)
while heating is often accomplished substantially by on-site combustion heaters, which impose negligible electrical load(typically a trickle to keep the thermostats and other regulatory electronics up; but that's peanuts compared to AC load).
I think the fans in the central heat system would easily use way more power than the thermostats...
I do love my natural gas heat though, I am never cold in the winter, and it costs much less to run.
So, what would make you happy? If they need a warrant (from the FISA court) to access the data (just like previously), how is it not abbiding by the fourth amendment?
Would you prefer that law enforcement/spy agencies had to be fully tied and unable to conduct investigations?
It does not appear to be available from Google Play. However, in the US, it is perfectly legal to grab the Youtube video, so there is that.
I'm guessing you have never heard of mix tapes or mix cds? I imagine it even happened in the 8 track era as well, but I don't have experience back that far.
In the middle ages, it was common for music to be shared for free, what suddenly changed to make it so expensive? It has only gotten easier to reproduce music.
My curiosity is what will they load these free ebooks onto? Is the state going to hand out Nooks to all these kids? How long before those are stolen and sold for crack money?
The worst off Americans have much better conditions than the middle class in India even. Indoor plumbing, clean water, electricity, healthcare, housing.
Don't let the facts get in your way, but Walmart pays well above minimum wage.

Raising the minimum wage will only make the problem worse. When the minimum wage goes up, there are less jobs. How far do you think McDonalds is from replacing their staff with robots? Another couple minimum wage hikes and many manual labor jobs will just disappear. Also, when minimum wage goes up, the costs for needed items rises as well quickly eating up any raises.
What you should really be advocating for a is a basic income.

Also, forget affordable healthcare, we need to just have single payer and get it over with. We pay so much more than all the other countries for health care, without any improvement of outcomes.
would have some ideas about encryption that are anything other than technologically cutting edge and fourth amendment compliant
They are asking for something that is forth amendment compliant. What do you expect them to do with a warrant when the device is encrypted? Beg the phone to decrypt itself?
AC might not be American. Though I can't see what else the average person could do to stop these kinds of abuses except maybe run for office yourself. Though I imagine as soon as you gain office, you too will get corrupted by the real powers.
Funny cause I have seen nothing in Romney or McCain that would be worse than Obama.
Many Conservatives also dislike foreigners, so would push for less H1-B. This isn't as clear cut an issue as business vs common man.

Not sure how hard that is.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
