Nanosolar’s Breakthrough - Solar Now Cheaper than Coal
Their mission: to deliver cost-efficient solar electricity. The Nanosolar company was founded in 2002 and is working to build the world's largest solar cell factory in California and the world's largest panel-assembly factory in Germany. They have successfully created a solar coating that is the most cost-efficient solar energy source ever. Their PowerSheet cells contrast the current solar technology systems by reducing the cost of production from $3 a watt to a mere 30 cents per watt. This makes, for the first time in history, solar power cheaper than burning coal. Nanosolar, Inc. prides themselves on being the “Third Wave” of solar technology. The “Second Wave” came about a decade ago with the first “thin-film” solar cells. Using a conductive substrate directly as electrode (The Nanosolar cells work on a metal foil substrate, or semiconductor, instead of the stainless steel or glass substrate. Nanosolar offers a 25 year warranty on its products. Update: First Panels Now Shipping

Sign in to write a review Sort by: This tool claims to be a free add on. Later it becomes a "trial". Don't install it. Hi,in v1.52 - Mar 21, 2014, custom foreground color does not get saved when I chose another one. Trac Trust True Ture Tools in Visual MediaMol Studioption Gallery Web Browser RUN. Please use vs2012 icons when install on VS2012.Thanks I've been using this editor for some time now, finding it very useful for navigating my code. Most of the time it does a brilliant job of formatting the text, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add a key combination for manually forcing a reformat of the current window? Nice tool. I like this add on. by Efosa | November 28 2012 Great plugin! Basically the issue is the you scroll to the very bottom of a file in visual studio, only the last line is visible at the very top of the screen. [Buggy Visual Studio scroll to page bottom] It's really useful. Not happy

31 Days of Servers in the Cloud - Getting Started - IT Pros ROCK! at Microsoft
Windows Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings provide IT Pros with the ability to quickly and easily provision new Virtual Machines ( VMs running both Windows and Linux ) and Virtual Networks in the cloud. I’ve found that these capabilities can be really useful for a number of scenarios, including: Building virtual lab environmentsPiloting new softwareDeploying existing VMs that require elastic “Internet-scale”Implementing hybrid applications that connect on-premises workloads with cloud-based VMs In January, my fellow IT Pro Technical Evangelists and I collaborated on a new 31 Days of Servers in the Cloud article series that demonstrates the ways in which IT Pros can easily begin leveraging these new Windows Azure IaaS offerings. As we step through this series together, you’ll have an opportunity to follow along with your own Windows Azure trial account ... In this article, I’ll provide the steps that you’ll want to complete so that you can follow along with the series …

In my previous post, I started to go over the go-raft implementation, after being interrupted by the need to sleep, I decided to go on with this, but I wanted to expand a bit first about the issue we discussed earlier, not checking the number of bytes read in log_entry’s Decode. Let us assume that we actually hit that issue, what would happen? The process goes like this, we try to read a value, but the Read method only return some of the information. We explicitly ignore that, and try to use the buffer anyway. I reported this issue, and I’m interested to know if my review is in any way correct. getEntriesAfter gives us all the in memory entries. setCommitIndex is interesting. And this one gives me a headache: Basically, this mean that we need to write the commit index to the beginning of the file. The truncate method makes my head ache, mostly because it does things like delete data, which makes my itchy. Then we have this: This seems pretty easy to follow, all told. Flush is defined as:

Altiris SVS Review & Download Link « freewaregenius.com
Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) allows you to install and run programs virtually so that they do not reside on your system but in a virtual ’layer’ which you can switch on or off at will. It enables you to test an application and completely ’turn it off’ if you choose without altering the Windows installation. It also enables you to avoid conflicts/.dll conflicts between applications. Alitiris SVS is free for home, non-commercial use. Have you ever suspected that an application might have an adverse effect on your system or that it might conflict with other installed applications? With Altiris SVS you can do this easily and elegantly. Before installing the application in question, run Altiris SVS and create a new virtual layer (a layer is the program’s terminology for the virtual ’space’ that the program will exist in). Version tested: 2.0.1407
