OK.

You’ve been using solar in your home for 40+ years? Whose picture is on your profile? If that’s you, then you certainly didn’t buy that solar system you’re using.

Wow. Did the solar installers kill your dog, or something?

I live in southern New Mexico. We have the air conditioner on in the summer, as expected. We burn gas for heat in winter, but use electric space heaters as well. Why? Because we have solar PV on our roof, and so we can reduce our gas use by using electric. Our panels are more efficient in winter (something about the…

I’m trying to get my head around the idea of binge-watching Naruto.

First: Foster’s cans are too damn big.

Three rival Chinese companies (dunno if it’s PRC or Taiwan) are fighting it out at a job site.

Is this the beginning of open Corporate Warfare?

Thank you for the straight information. In some ways, this is why I read the comments in Lifehacker. 80 percent of us are guessing, or extrapolating, but sometimes we’re lucky enough to hear from a person who actually knows.

So, is there a national security/food safety issue here? Could the ‘cracked’ software carry a payload that can get into other farm information systems? Perhaps malware can be introduced that will make disinfectant get improperly injected into milking operations, contaminating milk.

Indeed. Mall WiFi should offer value-added services. For instance, they should be able to show you, via augmented reality, the best path to a bathroom. Better still, they should have some indicator telling if that bathroom is at capacity, or has a vacancy.
