Yes, the power consumption may have risen considerably from the mid 70's, but look at the possible rise from the 1920's to the 1940's. During this period the majority of homes were provided with electricity and industries were using much more in their production (especially during WWII).
The point: energy companies receive $money$ only for the energy consumed. I don't believe for one second that they set out to break even. The profit generated should go to line their pockets and upgrade systems | research | manage efficiency | etc.
This is only a temporary crisis so long as the energy companies continue to reinvest.
Now with certain groups wanting to remove some dams along the columbia river in the Pacific Northwest, it could become a much bigger crisis. Especially considering a lot of power goes to northern CA from the Pacific Northwest's dams.
When I took cgi programming in college we used the first edition of CGI Programming with Perl and Introduction to Perl (whatever the oreily intro to perl book is).
The first half of the quarter we did not even look at cgi, it was all the standard hello_world programs in any introduction to/insert language/ programming class using the basic perl book.
The second half of the quarter we focused on implementing what we had learned about basic perl programming and using that for cgi.
I still have my cgi programming with perl (first edition) and open it every once in a while. The thing is that i use my perl black book (by coralis) more than any other book on perl programming.
If you want to learn perl for cgi, buy a basic perl book and study that.
Why should we be surprised, plus, it's nothing new.
I bought a version of Corel's linux at Target about 4 months ago. Various distributions have been sold in national bookstore chains since linux has become profitable.
If it's easy for the layman to install and configure, so be it.
(on a side note; Corel had a very nice install, but setting up PPP took a lot of work)
A site has been created by "The Tabloids" recognizing the musician's side of this whole debate with Napster/napster users located at stopnapster.com asking for people to log trojan horses on napster, etc.
They are fighting back, and it's crude.
I would like to point out that it is not a store's fault if shoplifting occurs. Same goes for Napster. If we want to pirate music, no problem. But if we break the law, we should be prepared to pay the penalties. Focus on changing laws if we deem them unsuitable.
To follow this further, I have not gotten a job, or really pursued any leads, that I directly applied for (other than leads from friends).
The way to get a job has changed over the last ten years. Prospective employers receive hundreds of resumes for a job posting. It is much easier for an employer to go through a head hunter. Get your head hunter turned on to you, then it is their job to sell you. Contract if you enjoy that also.
Lars used his "1.4 million downloads" = 1.4 million copyright infringements statement quite a lot. The real question is when were they monitoring, before or after raising their concerns about napster. That 1.4 million downloads were probably all by metallica fans who were concerned about not being able to find metallica mp3's for a while, or by people trying to make a statement.

Don't waste your time trying to sell yourself.
