@Aaron Don't do it. In my opinion those interlock things are not the best idea. It's too easy to overload the generator, since you can turn on any breaker in the panel you want.
guns dont kill people - a person holding the gun, pulling the trigger of the gun while pointed in the direction of a person, then said bullet having been loaded in the chamber and hitting the person in a vital organ region OR the wound not being dealt with in a timely manor kills people
@Tester101 but the cost for one of those manual transfer switches (and install time) is huge, especially because my breaker box is a mess (furnace and some basement lights on one circuit, etc) and I'll clean that up later
Boo-hoo, doing things right is expensive, and hard :(
The cost of paying for electricity (and installing a proper distribution system) is huge, but people keep doing it in just about every house. It would be much cheaper and easier to just tap the service, and touch the wires to the cord of the device you want to power.
my only confession for today: i needed to programmatically create a UIButton in Obj-C but i'm tired and running out of time so I changed some other stuff and did it in a XIB instead
the uibutton is just a button like any other - but instead of writing it in pure code, i used a xib - which is kinda a way in xcode to wire up ui elements with objects and events in code
"I check in code with minor changes, so when my boss looks at the commit log, they'll think I do a lot of work. "
I am looking to get the most bang for my buck when attempting to limit the noise coming in to our bedroom from the neighbours house. The cost of re-plastering the wall is out of the question.
I have searched around the internet and found that perhaps the large majority of the noise will be comin...
"I use StackExchange constantly, but I just read the already existing conversations. I'm afraid to ask questions because I'm convinced they'll be the dumbest questions ever. "
personally i try to save my dumb obj-c stackoverflow questions for when i really have a problem. usually, google answers it for me anyways
"I think people who willingly code in PHP should not be writing software. " and the one "I think web developers are sissies." - wtf - i've made a damn good buck off of being a php programmer and i'm very good at it
the more coffee i drink, the more tired i am in the afternoon - i must have drank an entire pot today
yeah... the more i work (and this week has been non stop for me) i forget to keep up on hydration and eating well, reverting to coffee and candy - need to stop doing that
although i have noticed this week as i've tried to re-write my iphone app in obj-c, i've cut back on smoking - my focus has been high trying to learn obj-c and to step away for a smoke would be a distraction - unfortunately, i'm just about done (trying to go live this weekend) so i'll probably go back to my usual smoking schedule haha
I get 3 alerts for PUT, dong from this room's notice, ding from the calender entry on my laptop, and buzz buzz from my cell phone for the same calendar entry.
grammer, spelling - whats the difference - at the end of the day, their all descriptors for man made characters that when combined convey a message or meaning
but the first 3/4 of the sentence implied that i was using rubber molding so in the context, it could be assumed that i ment insulating, not insulting - why would you want to insult a door with a kerf? what did it ever do to you? huh? HUH ?
Anyone see the humorous comments post that was closed on SO (or was it programmers.SE)?

I've got an external battery pack for my cell phone now, when the battery backup for my cable modem/router/voip dies, my cell will last for days and I can drive somewhere to recharge for another few days if there's an extended outage.
@lsiunsuex I've got several car chargers, but I don't want to run my car or drain my car battery in an emergency if I can avoid it. But I've done it in the past.
@BMitch I have that style on my back door. I installed it about a year ago and have no complaints so far. I've got these on my front door and I'm not so happy; the mechanism tends to stick making me think it'll break soon
dropbox is secure and as long as you keep the folder private and share it with select people it is
or a private account on youtube.com - but it only does video obviously
found this yesterday - its new i think - copy.com/home - 5gb of free storage as apposed to dropbox.com's 2gb of free storage - same deal - encrypted, can share and has os x and windows apps
@NiallC. my neighbor complained that his only works with a spare key now, so I'm guessing it doesn't hurt to rekey it from time to time. But if you have to do that on a lock, then you may just want a standard lock unless you need the ability to easily rekey it.
I touched the wires of a ceiling light holder with pliers, it made a spark and all of the power in my room was gone. What do I do now?
What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?
