Not always. I have some fixtures in my house that if I put a CFL in it will burn out in a week or two, but putting a good old incandescent bulb in there will last a year or two. That light is used for about 5 minutes a day, so I save a lot of money by putting in incandescents. Just because on paper something can save you money, doesn't mean that in practice it does. Those figures are from perfect condition labs, not how people actually use them.

The red light cameras are not always clearly marked. Some of them near me have signs for it, but others don't have a sign at all.
And your assertion that you haven't had problems with them since you don't run red lights is ridiculous. I don't run red lights either and I have had them take pictures of me when I was the first car in the line and I didn't clear the intersection before it turned red (I was paying attention and started into the intersection immediately after it turned green). I know of one that takes a picture of every vehicle turning left (been doing that for about 5 years now). There are times/places where it is impossible to not get hit by the red light cameras without knowing the flawed ones.

If Obama saying he is going to do stuff (and not actually doing them) is enough to get him a Nobel prize, then why can't Seattle win this for saying they will improve things?

You can just quickly type in "calculator". You do not have to look for icons whatsoever in the start screen, the search capabilities are still there.

Bought a (foreclosed) house at the start of winter, so Summer this year means getting the landscaping to look good.

The most hellish software you could ever hope to not attempt to program.

Could Slashdot please put in some sort of filter to automatically detect this nut and not let him post this on every story? Most the time I am against censorship, but this same comment does not belong on every story posted.

They were probably finally able to login to the game last night.

The reason Sony is being fined is because of how their security was implemented. The other companies had actual security in place. Sony's security was the equivalent of a sign on the data saying "Please don't take this". The ICO knows that no security is 100% safe, but expects companies to at least attempt to keep data safe (which Sony did not do in this case). Sony also had every single one of its divisions customer data hacked.

I never got an offer of free identity protection when my data was stolen. The emails I got from them basically said "By the way, you may want to keep an eye out for identity theft". My data wasn't stolen through the PSN, but through the online MMO games portion.

Data sense is to track how much you have used and limit some services when you are low on remaining data for the month. It does not look at the content of the data, just the amount and which app initiated it.

No it doesn't. Viruses take advantage of a vulnerability to infect a system. Once it is on the system it doesn't use the vulnerability anymore.

Obligatory car analogy: You got a nail through a tire on your car. To take care of it you just don't drive on the road with nails on it where you got the first one. This doesn't fix it as the nail is still there making the tire deflate.

If I get to count my data at work, I would be around 30 PB (and growing). The scale on this poll is too small so I am assuming I don't get to count my data at work.

And if he compared it to the 16GB iPad that would not have been a fair comparison because the Surface has a lot more storage. The 32GB iPad does not have 32GB of usable storage either. 32GB iPad to 32GB Surface is the closest to a fair comparison.

Actually, most of the founding fathers were proclaimed deists. They believed that a God created everything, then sat back to watch everything. This same believe could have lost you the trust of the people back then as well.

Except you don't need to overhaul everything to IPv6. You can run a local IPv4 intranet for the legacy systems and only connect to the public internet on IPv6. Of course this requires every web facing server to have IPv6, which still needs a lot of work.
