Re:Power drain
OK, I'm sorry I don't have good links available, but here goes. There was a pice on ZDNN a while back about growth of the US power grid. In 1990, computers used less than 1% of US power, they now use 13%. Power capacity (or grid capacity, not sure which -- there's a difference) has grown only 4%. The problem is expected to get worse, not better, esp. with deregulation of the industry. The Register had a piece a while ago about how new colo facilities seem to want to locate in London for the high connectivity, but, as a result of power restrictions, had to specially contract with the power utilities to get extra capacity added and more lines run, costing in the millions for a new colo for power setup alone. Anyway, that's all I remember...

And your browser is the client on all of them. To me, it sounds like the guy is just angry at you for some reason and knew about your site. You might want to get some publicity on this...ZDNN might be interested...
