  1. Re:whoa! on Energy Efficient and Cheap Servers for Home Use? · · Score: 1

    Beg to differ. Mine is young, tall, thin, hot, funny, technical (computer security no less) and pulls down big bucks.

    Took a lot of years to find her.

  2. No need to wonder on Outsourcing is Good for You · · Score: 1

    Let's just ask all the factory workers how well that plan worked out for them in the 80's.

    Since the percentage of Americans living in povery has jumped up, I'm doubting we'll get an encouraging answer.

    It's been tried. It doesn't work.

    What happens is you already need to be wealthy in order to be a politician.

    Then we have exclusively wealthy rulers.

    Keep looking for a solution. Most have been tried in ancient Greek city states.

    You go under if you're not a monopoly.

    There must be some math to this. Capitalism natuarally forms monopolies. Monopolies naturally prevent capitalism. This would say that capitalism is inherently unstable.

  5. Re:Touch lamp. on A Humanitarian Engineering Problem · · Score: 1

    A touch lamp control is the way to go. It takes about 10 minutes to put into a table lamp. Add a little high pitch beeper inline and you'll get light and sound. You'll probably want a beeper that automatically cuts off after a short time.

    Use a table lamp with a cord switch and remove the cord switch to prevent accidentally cutting power to the lamp. Plug it into a small UPS for additional security.

    You might need a HW store for the touch lamp controls.
