Solve : Why do they keep raising the cost of a first class stamp?? |

Answer» HERE Amazon and eBay Account for Huge Revenue Injection for United States Postal Service Ever wonder what percentage of the Post Office’s revenue comes from Amazon or eBay shipping? We wondered, and here is what we found out. The United States Postal Service (USPS), which at one time had a reputation for being run in the red (hence those infernal increases in the cost of postage), is now not only running in the black, but seeing a substantial increase in revenue thanks to Amazon and eBay and, perhaps to a lesser extent, other mail-order Internet services, notably such services as NetFlix, which ships nearly 2 million DVDs a day via the USPS. Where revenue had been trending downwards for the post office (down 1%, for example, in 2005), with the explosion in people using Amazon and eBay, post office revenue is now trending upward at a growth rate of about 3% per year. In fact, at an eBay conference in 2006, one of the main sponsors was the USPS, and Postmaster General John E. Potter himself gave a speech at the event, in which he said “I have one message today for the entire eBay community. We, the Postal Service, we love you. We love every buyer, every seller, every power seller. Thank you for shipping with the United States Postal Service.” And if the post office hearts eBay, it must really love Amazon, with the ADVENT of the Amazon Prime service - by which for a flat $79.00 per year you can have unlimited free 2-day shipping - via the Postal Service. So exactly how much of the Post Office’s revenue increase is directly attributable to Amazon and eBay? For eBay, the answer is unknowable, because, of course, eBay shipping is being done by millions of INDIVIDUAL sellers, and is not centralized. However, for Amazon it is knowable, or at least inferrable. According to Amazon’s annual investor reports, in 2005, Amazon spent $750 million on shipping. In 2006, Amazon spent $884 million on shipping, and in 2007 Amazon spent nearly $1.2 billion on shipping! While not all of that $1.2 billion went to the Post Office, as Amazon also uses other package services, such as UPS, anecdotal evidence suggests that the lion’s SHARE of it went to the U.S. Postal Service. In 2005, the United States Postal Service reported revenues of $69.9 billion, in 2006 they had revenues of $72.6 billion, and in 2006 they reported revenue of $72.6 billion. So it would seem that in 2006, Amazon by itself contributed to as much as 1% or more of the Post Office’s entire revenue for the year. So, with Amazon, eBay, NetFlix and other online services contributing so much to the Postal Service’s coffers, and the Post Office running in the black - one question remains: Why do they keep raising the cost of a first class stamp?Sure the cost of gas recently could be one reason for a cost increase. Would be interested to see their revenue this year. |

Solve : BMW GINA Concept Car? |
|
Answer» Check out this video. Bangle says that, in a decade's time or so, such flexibility could reach production vehicles,If we still use cars. One of a kind concept car...it's headed straight to the BMW museum. Pretty sharp though...I wonder what it would take to fit my car with one of those skins....Take a knife to it... I am willing to bet it will suddenly be more expensive to repair than a knife to a metal painted car. all you need is a SEWING machine Very cool concept and would be a great way to save on gas, SINCE a lot of the WEIGHT is in the car body. My only concern would be weather. I live in Utah and there is plenty of snow and rain here. Rain I could see it probably doing ok in but get heavy loads of snow on cloth and I don't know how well it would do.Well, it's a concept...someone asked, "What if...? and everyone said, "Yeah!...and off they went...think of all the feature that are standard on today's cars, when they used to be options, or didn't exist at all. I mean, I know you all know this, I'm just reminding everyone that concepts go through many phases and changes, sometimes.What happens if you crash into one of these? My dads car is made of just.. .metal... one of those small princy fibergrlass cars went right in front of us and we crashed into the SIDE, boy, that thing was done for. My dads car was just fine, one bumper out of place, barely any paint off it. (Everyone was fine) Well, a lot of Saturn MODELS have plastic panels over a metal skeleton. I doubt the car will hit the street as is, but it'll be interesting to see where it leads. |

Answer» Quote from: BC_Programmer on November 21, 2013, 03:49:05 PM My problem with Piracy is not that people do it, but that people will not only do it, but they think they can turn around and say "I'm doing them a FAVOUR". You aren't doing anybody a favour by stealing their work. Stop trying to fabricate a narrative fantasy based entirely on your desire to maintain a moral high ground. At least when I pirate stuff I don't try to pretend I'm doing anybody any favours. I guess I can't REALLY argue with that - it all MAKES sense. I was trying to make myself believe that I am not doing anything morally wrong. I will just admit that I am not doing the right/legal thing. Logically this makes sense, but psychologically I don't feel like I am doing harm. Maybe it's the fact that "everyone" does it, or because I've never had people criticize me for it (in person), EITHER way - you're right. Case Dismissed. Quote That's Personal Exhibition. That's fine. Also, if you're friend bought the song than obviously there was some reimbursement to the creator. PS I think you meant to write your in this sentence. Enough. Topic Closed. |

Solve : Just 15 min of fun gets man two years in jail.? |
|
Answer» On December 3 of 2013 a man in United States was sentenced to two years in federal prison because of his participation in a denial of service attack against a commercial website. This was then a federal court in Wisconsin, United States. Here in the United States a denial of service attack against the commercial website is considered to be a federal crime. Although others were involved in this crime, he was the only one caught and may have to spend two years in a federal penitentiary. Of course, this was not a youngster, it was a grown man. The 38-year-old man admitted that he did participate in the attacks that occurred in 2011. He named a group that INCITED him to participate in the attack. Because he's the only one convicted, he is being charged with the losses incurred by the commercial website. Although the commercial website was down for just a short PERIOD of time, they CLAIM they incurred in very large loss in revenue because of the downtime. Now here's my question. Why would a grown man do such a foolish stunt? Did he pprove something? Was there some kind of wrong such taht he thought he could right by bringing down the website for a short period of time? How in the world did this individual THINK this could benefit him personally in any way. He did something very foolish and reckless and got caught. What do you think? Here is the link to the story. http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=16039 I am just going to state that the stupid get caught and the smart avoid capture. Anyone can be a hacker, and the smart ones avoid capture! Bringing age into it, of he or she should know better, is kind of pointless as for there are many people who dont act their age. Its unfortunate that the proportion of those acting their age or older is lesser, than those who act lesser than their age, and sometimes its 38 year olds who act like immature 12 year olds and are frozen in this immature state for their ENTIRE lives. |

Solve : Why does Electron spin?? |
|
Answer» The Moon for example orbits...and rotates on it's axis...=spin.The notion of 'electron spin' is in a class of its own. QuoteSimply put, electrons are not spinning. It's unfortunate that the term "spin" has perpetuated from the earliest days of the development of the atomic theory. We can't apply classical, macroscopic concepts to the quantum world. From yet another source: Quote Electron Spin DefinitionThe general definition of 'spin' is not literally true to the electron. The word is used as a label to identify a property. It is a quantum thong.Quote from: patio on February 10, 2014, 02:38:04 PM The Moon for example orbits...and rotates on it's axis...=spin. Orbiting and spinning/ROTATING are separate things. One does not imply the other. Quote from: patio on February 10, 2014, 02:38:04 PM The Moon for example orbits...and rotates on it's axis...=spin. The moon Revolves around the Earth and Rotates on it's axis, yes. But as Salmon Trout has described, the property of "spin" that is given to fundamental particles is not a case of the particles physically rotating. I don't know the specifics of it's history but the term sounds like a etymological remnant from a earlier theory about the properties the particles would have. This should come as no surprise, in fact- the typical visualization of an atom- a nucleus with electrons with visualized orbits- is equally based on previously posited theories about the nature of the atom which we have since learned are not accurate (Electrons don't really "orbit" the nucleus in the classical sense, rather they are distributed in a probability cloud within their respective electron shell. The reason an electron, Proton, or neutron cannot be said to have "spin" in the classical sense (eg. the Moon or Planets rotating) is because they have no surface, or other similar property, that could be used as a reference point to determine said spin*. in this sense their "spin" is only EXPRESSED through the release or absorption of energy, in the same sense that a seismic wave has no "surface", but is otherwise measurable. Can anyone tell me how does an electron look like. And what is he/She doing on earth? I am leading you to creation of world! Quote from: IPDO on February 11, 2014, 05:03:15 AM Can anyone tell me how does an electron look like.No. Nobody can tell you what an "electron looks like". How exactly would you "see" something that is small enough that the very wave/particle that light consists of (photons) would interact in a way that transfers the photon's energy to the Electron? The answer is you can't. All we can do is observe the effects of those unobservable particles and classify those effects to create a consistent set of postulations backed by observations about what the particles are. Quote And what is he/She doing on earth?This seems a bit irrelevant. Earth is one planet among 8 orbiting one star among billions resident in a galaxy that itself is one among any number of trillions of other galaxies of similar composition. Electrons are an elementary particle and their existence in Matter on Earth is a result of their existence in matter. Quote I am leading you to creation of world!Not really. Asking how an electron spins doesn't seem particular relevant to the accretion disk of the sun and the collapse of matter within that accretion disk to the center or to smaller proto-planetary disks that started to orbit that forming center. The Earth formed from one of those protoplanetary disks and solidified at least* 4.5 Billion years ago, based on calculations based on reliable radioactive processes. (Potassium Argon dating, for example, in which a radioactive isotope of Potassium decays into Argon, a gas, can reliably show the age of a rock containing it- when said Rock is formed, since Argon is a REASONABLY rare element in our atmosphere which does not otherwise bind with rocks in a crystal lattice due to it being a inert, stable gas that cannot easily form covalent bonds, will not exist in a freshly formed rock from cooled magma, since any such gas would easily escape from said rock. Thus by measuring the amount of Argon-40, it is possible to calculate the time since the formation of said rock by using the known half-life of Potassium-40, of about 1.2 Billion years. There is no stronger or better evidence about the age of the Earth that indicates otherwise. It's notable that Potassium-40 also decays to Calcium-40, but that is less useful than the Argon-40 decay since Calcium-40 is a very common isotope and determining the original amount of Calcium-40 is not possible. While it is true that electron spin (and the nuclear spin of other particles) is involved in isotope decay, asking "why" doesn't seem to be a particularly fruitful question who's answer could change the calculation, any more than asking why we use arabic numerals to indicate numbers would change the accuracy of mathematics.

Solve : News for windows 8.1 fails? |
|
Answer» Hey, this is OFF TOPIC. -Right? It's hard to watch Microsoft's pathetic response to the firestorm of criticism that's rained down on Windows 8 in big part because it's been so, well, pathetic.On this I AGREE. the firestorm of criticism that Windows 8 received was pathetic. Quote Instead, we drafted our own plan to fix Windows 8: Windows Red.In other words, "we, a group of 'journalists' and technical hobbyists with the ability to accept change about as well as a vending machine that only accepts 20 dollar bills, have come up with features we think should exist in Windows that we concocted with a 15 minute brainstorm session to create content to put ads around" Consider their "Windows Red" Article. They open with "Windows 8 is a huge flop" and that is a link that goes to an article which discusses a serious drop in PC Purchases and how that could negatively affect Windows 8 sales. This was posted in last July, before Windows 8.1 was even released. That article further 'cites' their OWN ARTICLE reviewing windows 8 from a year before as a sort of 'citation' to how it has a "frankenstein interface". The only thing I can gather from reading that citation is that these Journalists are absolute morons who's idea of "research" and "citation" is "point readers at our other crappy articles on the subject". that Earlier article says "A desktop OS for tablets and a tablet OS for desktops, Windows 8 is guaranteed to disappoint nearly everyone" in other words, it's downright wrong as the INTERVENING time has shown. Their "research" is so sub-par as to make me wonder if they plagiarized straight from google-searched forum posts. Their writing is clearly biased and has no factual information, and conclusions are drawn entirely out of thin air, supported by nothing but more links to their own crappy articles. Consider their "points" about Windows 8: -Windows 8 needs much more than a cosmetic upgrade handwavey assumptions are made here- including outright wrong information. They also call the Modern UI "Metro" because they are morons who have firmly decided to refer to something based on it's early name, because they are stalwart and wouldn't know "journalistic integrity" if you tattooed it on their forehead backwards so they could see it every time they look in the mirror. -Introducing the three versions of Windows Red In other words, they decided that Microsoft's effort to avoid the problem of too many editions- (Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate- just to name a few) to fewer wasn't any good. Instead of three editions, they want... three... editions. Huh. Windows 8/8.1 comes in Standard, Professional, and RT editions. They also present completely fallacious information in this panel as well. They claim Windows 8 Pro- the Desktop version- would not have any touch-friendly features. "gone is support for touchscreens, which are ergonomically dangerous on PCs. ". It's a fallacy uttered by the incompetent to create sensational articles to garner page views. They back up their claim with no research, studies, or anything. They just state it as a fact. The best part is they describe almost exactly the Editions of Windows. They just gave them a different name. Good work. The rest of the slides are equally stupid. It boils down to essentially making Windows "red" be almost exactly the same as Windows 7 but use Windows 8 theme styles. I Understand it can be hard to let go of something that has been around since 1995, but Computers and pretty much everything computer-related has changed dramatically since our current paradigm was even introduced. naturally, in the linked article, Windows 8.1 fails their "Windows Red" test, because it was created by people who, despite being in the tech industry, are clinging to their 18-year old OS paradigms like a petulant young adult still carrying around their blankee. If they cannot adopt to change and are insistent on being a shrill, whining voice complaining about it every step of the way, maybe they should find a career in a more static field that doesn't REQUIRE them to actually know what they are talking about. Yeah, this is really no more than any other of those "concept" designs that you see KIDS throwing up all over Youtube - Just a bit worrying that the people designing this one are more likely to be adults. Nothing will ever come of it. They are clearly just a bunch of people stuck in the past (probably on XP or something) and terrified of the prospect of moving to something newer. It's clear that they don't understand Windows 8 as they are talking about bringing the start menu back while leaving the start screen - I'd personally say that I prefer the start screen as it will display more icons in an easier to arrange way than the old menu. Quote gone is support for touchscreens, which are ergonomically dangerous on PCsSo, first of all they claim that touchscreens are "dangerous" without backing it up, second of all, what about "convertible" type PCs such as the Lenovo Yoga? |

Answer» Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 15, 2011, 02:10:45 PM Yes, you mean £36.00 Yes, ............doh!Here in the USA green means $ not £ Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 15, 2011, 01:42:57 PM So you'd get around 10 grand back when you sell. Correction: 11 grand on a 2.2 kW installation. Quote from: harry 48 on January 15, 2011, 12:11:43 PM these pc's are REFURBISHED and sent out to a charity with workers from britain , america and elsewhere they also have people who volenteer to go out twice a year for 2 or 3 weeks to fix any pc's that are not working. there are also doctors , teachers , engineers , etc go out as well. That still did answer the question of what happens to the PC once it dies and can't be fixed. Do these volunteers bring it back home with them to dispose of properly? I highly doubt they do and there are a few reasons for that. 1. Cost - I doubt these people want to pay the cost to ship these back and then pay the cost to dispose of them. 2. Customs - In some African countries it can take any where from 6 to 9 months to get items cleared thru customs so they can be shipped back. Of course this is if you do things the legal way. I can support this time frame as I currently work in supply chain for a major offshore drilling contractor and am based in Angola but also get involved in our operations in Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, and any where else along the West coast of Africa that we have operations going.Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 15, 2011, 01:42:57 PM Every kilowatt hour of power from a photovoltaic solar panel installation adds £5,000 to the resale value of a home. So you'd get around 10 grand back when you sell. And leccy prices are only likely to go one way... up. Where did you get this statistic from? The value that would be added to the resale value of your home is going to be totally dependent on the person buying your home. If you sale it to some one that is into solar power great they will love it but if you try to sale it some one that could care less all they are going to see is the extra maintenance cost associated with the solar power system so they aren't going to want it. How much would the maintenance cost be for a system like you are talking about? This is something that no one ever bothers to mention as people like to make it sound like you just install the system and forget it but you can't do that or it won't belong before you find yourself with a really ugly roof ornament that cost you £12kQuote from: mroilfield on January 15, 2011, 11:54:47 PM 2. Customs - In some African countries it can take any where from 6 to 9 months to get items cleared thru customs so they can be shipped back. Of course this is if you do things the legal way. Off the main topic, but this statement brings back memories of years ago when I did some work in and around Mexico City. I frequently had to ship, and receive, materials from the US. Normal time to clear customs was 6 to 8 weeks, but for a few dollars, it cleared in a day.Quote from: mroilfield on January 16, 2011, 12:02:42 AM Where did you get this statistic from? Admittedly that sort of figure is what you hear from solar energy companies, but it is fairly well known that solar panels, whether PV or thermal, do add value to a house. Quote The value that would be added to the resale value of your home is going to be totally dependent on the person buying your home. If you sale it to some one that is into solar power great they will love it but if you try to sale it some one that could care less all they are going to see is the extra maintenance cost associated with the solar power system so they aren't going to want it. There isn't really any maintenance cost. You fit the panels, wire them to the inverter, which you wire to a meter connected to the electricity grid, and that's it. There are no moving parts and the system should last 30 years at least, accelerated aging tests have shown. You seem to think that solar energy is some kind of minority thing, but surveys have shown that many people think of it as raising the value of a property, especially in the US. Quote How much would the maintenance cost be for a system like you are talking about? This is something that no one ever bothers to mention as people like to make it sound like you just install the system and forget it but you can't do that or it won't belong before you find yourself with a really ugly roof ornament that cost you £12k See above. Nobody bothers to mention it because you do just install the system and forget about it. Well, you don't forget about it really because you see the huge savings on your bills. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics Quote from: Salmon Trout on January 16, 2011, 02:16:07 AM There isn't really any maintenance cost. You fit the panels, wire them to the inverter, which you wire to a meter connected to the electricity grid, and that's it. For solar energy to be cost effective you would have to be able to take advantage of it any time you need electricity. Now if you just wire in the panels to the inverter and then into the meter you would only get a benefit on sunny days and if you used more electricity then you were producing you would still have to rely on the power company. Sure this would probably reduce your bill a little bit but so would turning off electrical items that aren't being used at the time. If you really want to make it cost effective you need to have a battery system in place that can store the energy you are making so it will be available at night and on days when the sun isn't brightly shining. These battery systems do require maintenance. If you did just wire the panels in and not worry about actually storing any electricity they will still require maintenance. You have to keep them clean as the dirtier they get the less sun light actually gets thru to the cells. To get continuous optimal performance out of them they need to be adjusted to DIFFERENT angles at different times of the year due to the position of the sun. Now I am sure you can climb on your roof and clean them yourself and maybe even adjust them but how many people would be willing to do that as I am sure the company that you buy them from will offer to do all this for you for a small fee. Now don't get me wrong I am not against solar energy and would love to see it used more often but I really hate to hear people talk about how easy and simple it is use but never mention the work that is involved and the other hidden cost that goes along with it. This bring to mind my next questions. How many solar panels do you have on your house and how much has it saved you during the year?Quote from: mroilfield on January 16, 2011, 04:28:57 AM For solar energy to be cost effective you would have to be able to take advantage of it any time you need electricity. Now if you just wire in the panels to the inverter and then into the meter you would only get a benefit on sunny days and if you used more electricity then you were producing you would still have to rely on the power company. Sure this would probably reduce your bill a little bit but so would turning off electrical items that aren't being used at the time. Photovoltaics generate more power when the sun is shining strongly than when the sky is cloudy or overcast, sure, but even on dull days they do produce some output. It rains enough here that dust or dirt deposits are not a problem. Where I live they are subsidized by the government. If your PV installation qualifies for the "Feed-in" tariff then you are paid (at the moment) £0.41 per kWH produced. This will be paid even if you use the energy yourself. The cost of importing grid power is around £0.12 per kWH. So that is why a 2 kW installation would save/pay you £900 per year. The feed-in rate is tied to the stadard rate so the return will rise if electricity prices rise. The inverter is connected to the electricity company's cables coming into the house via a bi-directional meter so while you are at work or on vacation all of the power you generate is exported and measured. My employer's new office building has PVs and also a solar water heating system and the power bills are around 20%-30% of the old building of a similar floor area. Quote from: mroilfield on January 15, 2011, 06:18:10 AM This bring to mind all the people that want to use either hybrid or totally electric cars. Yes if we switch to electric cars we won't be using fossil fuels in them as much but on the other hand you have to stop and think about where all the electricity is going to COME from to power these cars? Green ways of generating power has become lot popular in recent times..Even I have been using solar energy for charging my phone battery..Quote Hydroelectric power provides almost one-fifth of the world's electricity.

Solve : Copy Machines Have Hard Drives.? |
|
Answer» You already knew that. -Right? I read an article on this topic back in 2010 or 2009 This may be a new notion to the OP, but not, I think, to people who have to DEAL with office equipment. I read a report in 2005, when my EMPLOYERS were discussing the security implications of LEASING copy/print/scan stations which had hard drives. We have gone through 3 generations of equipment since then, and even though there is a wipe drive option in the service menus, we stipulate that we keep the hard drive when a machine is removed from site, and we have people to make sure this happens. Then we get them securely destroyed. Quote from: Salmon Trout on February 26, 2014, 11:29:24 AM This may be a new notion to the OP, but not, I think, to people who have to deal with office equipment.

Pretty much any competent tech is going to be well aware that copy machines have hard drives and take the appropriate security precautions as with the hard drive in any company PC. |

Solve : How to bake your Motherboard in the Oven @ 350 F? |
|
Answer» This is so hilarious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFCFiSB2Fuk Quote How to repair a motherboard by baking it in an oven. Form another source: Quote Depending on the alloy, 100% (PB) lead melts at 620F He used to Post advice here...most was reckless. So take it with a grain of salt... P.S....i'm very tempted to remove the link and i don't know why you would even post it...It would be more worthwhile if he did a batch of brownies at the same TIME. Could you fix the title. ?How would you like me to misspell it ? ? Title corrected...Thank you. It is so funny watching him try to ruin a motherboard. Really, nobody should try this. If a motherboard needs rework, let it be done by people who know how. You Never, Never run components up to 400 F or 190 C. Most electronic devices will failure if brought up to 190 °C f. The proper way to rework a board to repair bad solder joints is with wave soldering. With wave soldering, a shallow pool of molten solder is used. The motherboard is held just above the surface. The pool is gently moving to crate a wave of hot solder that hits the component legs under the board, caucusing broken joints to re-flow and fix the problems. The components themselves stay WELL under the 190 ° of the liquid solder bath. Quote Soft solder is typically thought of when solder or soldering is mentioned, with a typical melting range of... {190 °C or 450 °F}... It is commonly used in electronics, plumbing, and ASSEMBLY of sheet metal parts. Manual soldering uses a soldering iron or soldering gun. Alloys that melt between 180 and 190 °C (360 and 370 °F) are the most commonly used. Soldering performed using alloys with a melting point above 450 °C (840 °F) is called 'hard soldering', 'silver soldering', or brazing.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder So if ever a new motherboard and if fails to work , send it back . Never try the stunt in the You Tube Video. But I still think it was hilarious. Like the grandma that tried to dry her poodle in the microwave. Do not try it at home. BTW. The use of 'silver solder' is now more politically correct. In time electronic boards will be 'hard soldered' by brazing. No lead. Lots and Lots of destructive videos on youtube for COMPUTERS and computer components...in addition to other stuff like an idiot who put a 50 cal live shell in a microwave. But I think the most creative video was one in which someone wired up the coil of the arm of a hard drive to an audio amp and was able to play music through a hard drive which sounded very MIDI audio. This baking process reminds me of the people who tried to fix their console systems from the ring of death by wrapping the system up in towels and forcing the CPU to roast to reflow poor solder connections, which to me, I would think the CPU's would melt down/fail with permanent damage before reaching the necessary temp to reflow the solder balls to the processor. http://www.wikihow.com/Do-the-Xbox-360-Towel-Trick Things You'll Need : - An Xbox 360 with the Red Rings of Death (3 flashing red lights on the front) - 3 towels45-60 minutes to waste - Optional: A fire extinguisher for electrical fires |
