Sounds more like that was 5 million in potential dollars not earned, not 5 million lost. You can't lose what you do not yet have.

You laugh, but in Peace Corps I actually had a fridge whose thermostat controls were dead, so it operated at either full-blast (freezing everthing) or unplugged. I abused an x10 plug and a timing script run off a computer to cycle it on and off over the course of the day to regulate it. Never died!
I think the most nefarious thing would be to turn off automatic coffee-makers ~ 15 seconds after they'd started, so the grounds are soaked and warm (i.e. ruined*), and there's no coffee.
That would be grounds for fully justified homicide. No jury in the 1st World would convict.
I just visited the WeMo web pages and couldn't find any technical information about what watt or amperage limits on it are.
I have a hard time believing that it can handle a 1500 watt heater.
1500... Would that be the definition of a WeMowatt? (Beware the sleeping lion tonight.)
I still haven't perfected the skill of omniscience. (This is of course, impossible).
One derp point for me. I see now it even says that in the entry for Thor (only looked at the description for Peter before posting.)
Damn. And here I thought since Peter was described as the genius, that he was the inventor. Oops. Thanks for the correction though.
Finally, Peter's wheel has gone into production at last.
It could be worse. You could be a moose in a conoe going over/through the Bear Whizz Waterfall, after having bit my sister.
We apologize for rts008. He or she has been sacked...
So then, the doom is actually more like a llama riding on a raft the size of a baseball diamond's infield after having sung the anthem of the Royal Canadian Mounted Yaksmen...
All in all, this is sounding like just another scare tactic to maintain a perpetual state of war, keeping the public paranoid and distrusting of anyone except our "benevolent leaders" who pretend to be looking after our best interests.
And like one of his cohorts said in The Guild... "We don't do anything half assed. We use both cheeks."
Balls do not pay the rent.
I suppose that depends on what you do for a living.
As the Ghost of Ben said to Yoda...
I don't know your Family Guy reference, but how about you watch Seasons 3 and 4 of The Guild instead, so you will have a clue what is being talked about here, which will give you some perspective on my previous post?
Wil Wheaton as he is today would be pretty kickass I think. Imagine a grown up Wesley Crusher with the personality of the grown up Wheaton in command of the Enterprise.
How about Leonard Nimoy directing a Star Wars film? He's done pretty decently with the Trek films he directed. Or would the very idea cause the universe as we know it to implode?
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
