Hard drives don't write 1s and 0s to a disk, look up EPRML and tell me how your idea will work.

And even assuming you managed to raise enough funding you then need to convince enough people in a particular area that your one issue stance is so important that they should vote for you ahead of any more rounded candidates, good luck.

Firstly a lot of people in here seem to be confusing Smart Meters with Energy Monitors. The former replaces the old dial meter and it supposed to communicate with other meters in the area and/or directly with the energy supplier for billing and better tracking of consumption.

Energy Monitors are those devices which clamp around lines by your meter and communicate to a box in your house giving you an idea of your realtime energy use.

So true, it drives me nuts to see people going on about how awesome it is "and only a 1.3 litre engine". When you realise that this measurement for a wankel only gives you one rotation of the output shaft compared to 2 rotations for a 4cyl 4 stroke it doesn't look so great anymore and you see why the fuel economy sucks.

Umm, yes? http://gizmodo.com/5838344/cubas-lung-cancer-vaccine-could-save-your-life

from the FAQ;

'"Maqetta" is a spelling variation of the Spanish word for mock-up ("maqueta"). The team members pronounce the name as if the "q" were a "k".'

So, yes. :)

I'm not sure how it works in the US but here in the UK a subsidised phone is yours to do as you wish with irrespective of the length of the contract. They discount the price (down to free sometimes) obviously based on the expected income from the life of the contract, but the phone is not leased to you during the contract it's wholly yours.

There in a link in the comments section to a much better article that explains why even though these fossils are from Africa they are being linked to primate origins in Asia.

No, the term does not exist (in the UK), splitting property simply comes down to what you can prove. You paid for it by yourself, it's yours. You paid jointly without something to show how much came from each person you own it jointly. The point is cohabiting with someone you consider your partner confers no benefits or rights beyond cohabiting with friends or random people when you were a student. If you can find anything to the contrary I'll happily recant.

There is no recognition under UK Law for anything other than Marriage or Civil Partnership. Neither of you have any more more rights or benefits than two random people who happen to share the same house. "Common Law Marriage" does not exist in the UK.

TFT, yes. LCD, no. Remind me again where the liquid crystals are in an AMOLED display, oh that's right, there aren't any.

Actually that rotary saw device you saw vibrates the blade, it doesn't spin it. It's a much better device/method for cutting fibreglass casts than scissors. I mean seriously you thought they were going to use a circular saw on your kid to remove a cast?! That you've never seen these doesn't speak well for the supposed better quality of your health care over there in US.

What? I guess it depends how you define efficiency but for equivalent rotations of the output shaft a Wankel engine sweeps twice it's measured volume compared to 4 stroke 4 pot, that's why they have appalling mpg, they're small but they definitely not efficient.
