just wait until he realizes that his keyboard and monitor are "peripherals".

as a nutmegger, let me be the first to say we apologize for that

i have an extra one of those. where should i send him?

your "real currency" is down about 8% today against the USD. nothing says "stability" like a "currency" that loses 8% of it's value in a single day.

They must be trying to lure the /. crowd of fat middle-age american geeks who think they are smarter than everyone else because they read Slashdot like it's the holy bible.

for residential, that's true. for commercial and/or municipal, they stick to diesel.

in the case that con-ed shuts off nat gas flow due to fires (which is happening all over the place right now...), do you want your generator to choke out?

that leaves lp. diesel packs about a 50% higher energy density than lp. which would you prefer to use? further, diesel is much more commoditized than lp, and is more readily available during a crisis.

the area he lived in didn't have municipal garbage collection. instead of bringing his garbage to the dump, he chose to burn it in his backyard. that's how both fires started.

the fire department did actually show up - to prevent the fire from spreading to his neighbor's yard.

pics please! otherwise, it's hard to see that picture...

except... God Created Baseball.

right.... you think this because...?
