Look at Adtran switches. HP's Procurve support has gotten flaky.

We need 1.21 gigawatts to power the flux capacitor.

If you have access to Dell's Premiere site (for businesses) you can order a Precision M6400 laptop with a 64 bit OS and 16 GB of RAM. This turns into an $8,000 laptop, but who's counting $s anyway?

I thought the music for pr0n should have been more of the "bow chicka wow mow" variety. Maybe a few grunts and screams and an "Oh baby!" for good measure.

I'm the helpdesk technician. I'm at my place of employment from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm with a 1 hour lunch. My average workload consumes 60 minutes of my day. I'd like to think that I'm bored now because I've fixed everthing.

I also have a new boss who doesn't give me any projects. As bored as I am, I'm glad to have a job, and hope it lasts. Most local companies have hiring freezes and/or layoffs.

13 miles over crappy Indiana roads. Anyone who claims a truck is a car does not own a truck.

In 2007 there where:

301,621,157 people in the US
11,251,828 Total CRIMES
1,408,337 Violent (seperate from murders)
16,929 Murders (not included in violent)
855,856 Aggrivated Assault - a reckless attack with intent to injure seriously (as with a deadly weapon)
2,176,140 Burglaries - Lowest since 1991

This gives a .47%violent crime rate in America ((1,408,337+16,929)/301,621,157)

UK Crimes

In 2007 there were:
60,975,000 - Total Population (estimate)
1,045,369 Violence crimes
621,958 Burglaries
3,810,971 Total Crimes

This gives a 1.7% violent crime rate (1,045,369/60,975,000)

So the UK has a crime rate roughly 3.61 times worse than the US in violent crime rates.

Does fear of being shot deter criminals in the U.S.? Are citizens of the U.K. better at reporting crimes?

I had 6 wisdom teeth. My dentist stongly suggested I have them removed as there would not be enough space in my face for them. I felt obliged to comply.

While Jew can reference both ethnicity and religious group, you can also be a Jew by ethnicity but not religous group or a Jew by religious group who is of an entirely different ethnicity.

My home has 3 toddlers in it most days. The old books (published before 1900) are on the top shelf out of reach. The rest are stuffed back on the shelf in random order because they've been repeatedly removed by said toddlers. As a result, I've pretty much stopped buying paper books for me. My son (5 years old) has a about 100 books. Curious George and books regarding outer space are his favorites.

Although I have no real data to back it up, I sincerely doubt that presence of these tiles would result in a significant increase in fuel consumption. See the reply to hansamurai above.

The forklifts are driving hither and yon and burning fuel regardless of the presence of these tiles. Having the tiles in high traffic locations would generate some electricity.

The limited amount of information I've read regarding these tiles has not mentioned the distance they must travel for electricity to be generated. However, since they have to operate without impeding foot traffic, I suspect the distance is minimal. Certainly no more than an inch. If the tile was 1 inch above the level of the floor when uncompressed and dropped to that level when compressed, I suspect that something weighing 10,000 - 12,000 lbs with 20+ inch tires would have enough momentum to depress the tile with a very minimal increase in fuel consumption. Taking into consideration the miserable condition of the floors in the plant and the surrounding exterior locations of forklift travel, 1 inch is of little significance.

There are forklifts driving back and forth on the production floor here at my place of work. If those 10,000 lb forklifts carrying 2,000 lb loads were driving over piezoelectric energy generating floors, how much energy could be harnessed? Certainly not enough to offset the cost in the short term, which is the only term my employer seems to comprehend.

5.11 targets most of their products for law enforcement and other para-military usage. I receive email and catalogs from them frequently. Since I'm no longer in a law enforcement/para-military line of work, I can't justify buying all the nifty stuff they offer.
