Sounds like some solar power plants have the extra added benefit of free fast food.

Technology & Information / Adding an email account to messaging apps
« on: July 25, 2014, 02:11:19 AM »
Seeing as Thork has reservations about revealing his mobile phone number to the rest of the Zetetic Council, I suggested texting to an email account.  Unfortunately, this was misunderstood as sending an email via text.  This is not what I had in mind.  Rather, I was suggesting that an email account be added to the messaging app.  This means that, rather than using your phone number, the messaging app uses an email address.  For example, I can send and receive texts on my iphone by my cell number, Apple ID, or two other non-Apple ID email addresses.

How to add multiple email address to iMessage on iPhone and iPad

    1 Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
    2 Scroll down and tap on Messages.
    3 Now tap on Send & Receive.
    4 Select Add Another Email... underneath the You can be reached by iMessage at: section.
    5 Type in the email you'd like to add and hit return on your keyboard.

It seems that Android and Windows phones should have similar capabilities.

Warner Bros. has acquired feature films rights to the classic 1980s arcade game “Space Invaders,” which has recruited some high-profile producers.

Does this means that they've given up on Space Invaders?

For some odd reason it's No Rain by Blind Melon.

Suggestions & Concerns / Previous/next page buttons please

At the bottom left where the page number links are, would it be possible to get rid of the "Go Up" link and put in "Prev" and "Next" links instead?  They make much easier targets for touch screens than trying to hit a page  number.

Technology & Information / Is it time to tell your CPU to STFU?

It seems that it's possible to extract certain RSA keys by listening to the sounds that your CPU makes.
