Data matters more than the algorithm Put this thought into your head the next time you are watching the news or reading about political or economical issues. We are being well fed, with garbage from the sagelike elite...? Quite surprising from MIT.

I'd wager a guess that the lunatic globalists steal it! and send it to Mars, where Elon takes all of the richest lunatic globalists after Earth has been overconsumed to the hilt...?

Umm get more envelopes. 14 kWh vs. 100 000 kWh is rather 10 times your calculated sum, 40 million dollarings. Dear. :-)

I hale you for this, tank you shir! Comment in support role.

Finland, maybe not. We are soon allowing our police to use (slightly, at first) criminal actions in secret to do surveillance on us. Things like planting trojans and intercepting cell audio and data - a really slippery slope, but practically nobody cares and the "press" keeps mostly quiet, why else, they are owned by the establishment.

Raven and Vampire, reading your comments makes me feel wonderfully relieved that I live in Scandinavia, and not in the US of A. It sounds as if you consider this kind of mobbing attitude, agression or what should I call it, natural and widely acceptable. I mean, do you really have that kind of lynching atmosphere thereabouts? How can you bear it, without doing anything to milden the social attitudes? I keep my wifi open and I seriously think that it would be extraordinary bad luck, if there was a cp-d/l'r on my connection amongst the few visitors I get. Even more exceptionally bad luck would be if the impropable person would get caught while using my line for the illegal purpose. I don't use the wifi for other than occasional surfing on the sofa, checking the latest news or such. Business connections are from separate linux boxes on a different subnet so I am not immensely worried about tresspassers through wifi. The natural solution will be public free wifi, we are just the silent supporters of this development.

Thank you for the link. May I suggest ALL you /.ters read it. Think globally, act locally? Atleast think.

But the market is not some mystically separate domain, it consists of people. People in the market speculate, hide information, spread false rumours, break all available laws, make deals with their friends and associates, and sometimes with them only. How can anyone be so naive to believe that the market finds a fair balance between supply and demand, in this particular case where the number of players is fairly limited? Why would it differ from all other commodities - think about gold. The price fluctuates, but mainly not because of variations in supply and demand... In a sense you are right though, that is how markets are supposed to work. But it is only in theory and far from the reality we live in. We greedy bastards :-/

Umm, err, a screen can have a yellow "primary" colour in use, no? Even if it's controlled by 'mere' RGB, it is apparently not easy to produce greens and reds that output a strong yellow - therefore the yellow subpixels would surely light up and the screen look good. Skintones too.

Rather, we only need the knowledge - every cop gets a badge that is said to contain a camera. Much cheaper than actually recording, and touches the root of the problem. We don't want cops that beat us and get convicted with cam footage; we want cops that don't beat us to begin with.
