The emails contain spreadsheets with real people, with real adresses and their IP, containing which (adult) torrent they are charged with.

There are also pdf's containing FULL Credit card information.

By the leak they exposed themselves with private information.

Can't they be sued over that?

An anonymous reader writes "Aaron Ardiri challenged himself to port his classic PalmOS version of Lemmings to the iPhone, Palm Pre, Mac, and Windows. The porting was done using his own dev environment, which creates native C versions of the game. He liveblogged the whole thing, and finished after only 36 hours with an iPhone version and a Palm Pre version awaiting submission, and free versions for Windows and Mac available on his site."

Far Away?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masdar_City has got 60MWp and will be growing towards 500MWp which can feed 500 million households - strange to see that they have one of the largest oil reserves in the world (100 billion barrels)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldpolenz_Solar_Park has got 40MWp

Looking at the EU fundings
a max of 25% initial installation costs (min 1000 Wp, max 15000 Wp)
then a 0.33 euro per kWh delivered back on to the net

That is approx 0.55 cents per kWh refund

Our energy suppliers MUST take my energy back on to it's net, because gov says so.

Now looking at my roof it's a flat roof so all panels can be placed in optimal conditions which would make approx 75kWh a Year (In the Netherlands) with 100Wp

I can handle approx 15000 Wp on my roof

Initial investment:
80.000 euro

Let's say I'd go for a cheaper solution installed by professionals

1000Wp - 750 kWh/year
+/- 2800 euro investment with the funding already taken off that number

I'm using a stagering 5200 kWh a year and I'd reduce that number with the 750kWh
that would be awesome not?

The fact that those solarpanels on my roof make it a lot hotter it needs extra cooling.

I'd like more funding before I get some people to install those panels on my roof.

That funding can be done if they don't create some third world infrastructure, instead, fund EU first.

Once I get that, EU will have my power without all those changes for infrastructure.

Promptness is its own reward, if one lives by the clock instead of the sword.
