Google an image search for "siemens sentron busway" (busway is just Siemens' lingo for "buss duct", but "busway" can refer to other sorts of devices, too). There are other manufacturers, but that's just the first model name I remember.

Buss Duct is accepted industry spelling of the equipment being referenced.

Technically, the notice is called a "Failure to Register with the Selective Service Notice". I had one forwarded to me after I had already been in the Army 4 years (I enlisted a little before my 18th birthday), and was already serving in Afghanistan. I called the contact number, and the exchange went something like - Me: "Hi,this is Specialist [MyRealName], U.S. Army. I received one of your Failure to Register notices. I'm kinda in Afghanistan right now, what am I supposed to do with it?" Helpdesk person: "Er, umm... our apologies... umm, Soldier. Uh... thanks for serving. We'll update your record. What's your Social?"

We need checkboxes instead of radio buttons on this one.

And don't look at me like that! I live near Seattle where there is plenty of open water and plenty of Indian Reservations to buy the good stuff at.

Just so you know (and a lot of people get this mixed up), 120/240V in the U.S. is not 2-phase power (with the exception of one small hydroelectric served area of upstate NY, which actually has some relic 2-phase generators)! You are receiving single-phase power off a 3-phase transmission system (typically, one residential neighborhood will be on the same phase), with a center-tapped/center-grounded step-down transformer providing service to your home. "Split-phase" is a more appropriate nickname for a center-grounded single-phase electrical system.

You can purchase LED "tube" replacements for fluorescents. We've been testing them out at my workplace, and, generally speaking, the building staffers seem to like them better than old fluoresent lamps. The catch is that you have to re-wire the fixture and bypass the old ballast module.

Diesel (except farm diesel, which is exempted and has a dye additive to distinguish it) currently is Federally taxed, per gallon, identically to gasoline. It used to be taxed at a lower rate, but congress let that one expire during the Clinton administration.

It's also sitting higher than the estimated combined value of all the earth's gold, silver, and platinum (already extracted and unproven reserves included) which is about $15T (source: National Geographic's "Secret History of Gold"; this special didn't relate that number to U.S. Debt, it was my own observation).

So, if it was like the scenario at my workplace, at that same time period we were stuck with an obscenely low (50MB) MS Exchange inbox limit (since bumped to a "whopping" 100MB), which forces you to sort everything to local PST files (which default to encrypted-format), then had lowest-bidder full disk encryption on top of that (quite possibly GuardianEdge). The version of GuardianEdge in use at the time had a nasty tendency to crash harddrives... of my office of 28 persons, all 28 had an unrecoverable harddrive crash during that same time period. To compound things, GuardianEdge would also encrypt external USB drives, but the encryption key was stored on the internal drive. Personnal network partitions were also too small at the time to back anything up to the network.

But, in spite of all this, it's still way too "convenient" that these emails were lost.

I was hoping for +1 Funny.

I don't have time to do it myself, but with the information provided in the court case (without possessing this "Schedule A" that I presume is sealed by the court), simply that the defendants are "Morgan Jack, Datalink 4 and Datalink 7", I think a motivated Slashdotter could effectively rebuild and repost the URL list before Google (maybe) de-lists them.

At least around my area, I'd say we are buying Mustangs, Cameros, Corvettes, Challengers, and Chargers. (yes, I phrased that "we" for a reason) Other people are buying F150s, Silverados, Rams, and Titans.

I pretty sure this just means Microsoft ran out of IPv4 addresses that they bought for the specific purpose of their Azure service, so they are now "borrowing" addresses from their other address pools. This also means their Azure services are no longer one continuous block of addresses.

Find a bunch of teenagers to spend 90% of your waking hours and 25% of your sleeping hours texting with. That's how they get fast, anyway... 500 text messages per day!

Let's see, meteor generates a plasma trail... that would be moving charged particles (both positive and negative). Moving charge means a changing electric field. A changing electric field causes a changing magnetic field, so we have a changing electro-magnetic field... i.e. radiowaves. The ions in the plasma trail don't stay that way, the electrons get recaptured at some point, which means a photon will be discharged, i.e. a radio wave-packet. As to frequency, just put a couple grad students to write a program to calculate photon emission frequencies of a couple million different ion configurations, and they'll probably find the correct correspondence somewhere in there.
