Sounds strange. Why schould you get another PC, you already have one and payed too much for the software, why don't you just get the money back? This ms-free-pc offer does not make any sense.
In the early eighties I was reading a series of adventure stories for children, in german it is called "die drei Fragezeichen".
In one episode, the bad guys used an Organ creating infrasound to frighten people away from a house or castle where they operated, pretending the house was inhabited by ghosts.
Yes, and it worked perfectly then. I suspect power consumption increased, and nobody invested in an improved infrastructure because it was not profitable after the deregulation.

Now please explain WHY ALL STATIONS work near their capacity.
Europe (or was it just Germany, I don't remember exactly) has about 20% more capacity than the highest peak consumption observed on the electrical power grid.
In Europe at the moment, many powerstation run at reduced production because of the exceptionally hot summer (thermal powerstations have problems with their cooling system, hydroelectric powerstations have little water because of the dry climate), but still we have no Problems.
Deregulation in the US possibly don't allow for a 20% reserve because it is too expensive if you have hard economical competition, which directly leads to the effect you described.

I'm really glad that China catches up. I really hate the USA being the only superpower in the world, seeing how they misbehaved in the international community lately.
And I really hate comments like yours, pointing with your fingers at others, in stead of solving the problems in your own country first.
And I am looking forward to buying a motherboard with a dragon CPU once they are available here in Switzerland.
I got a battery charger from my parents when I was a small child, it must have been around 1980, and guess what, some of my first rechargeable batteries are still in use today, after more than 20 years.
It is a Sanyo Cadnica charger, and the first batteries were NI-CD types, also from Sanyo.
- Do not use a fast charger. If you use standard charge (takes 10-16 Hours) your batteries will live forever
- Completely discharge your batteries from time to time, but not necessarily each time you charge them.
- Never use batteries of different capacities at the same time.
- Never use half empty and fully charged batteries at the same time. You will kill the weaker ones by reverse chargeing them when they get empty.
Well, the 3GB disk of my iBook is almost full, and I don't intend upgrading any time soon. That's why I definitely care for good compression ratios maintaining good sound quality.
Even worse, if you have a portable player with flash memory, a GB is still very expensive.
He might have been booed from stage, but the rest of the world admires him. He was on all european TV stations, and nobody cared for the rest of the oscars. (I didn't even care for his oscar, but his speech was great.)
The bad sound quality is not due to poor equipment. The microphone is just too far from the stage, that's all. They probably just put a computer in a back corner of the room, with a microphone on top of it.
The page looks odd in konqueror too, unless you let konqueror identify itself as MSIE.
I guess they just have an MSIE- and a Mozilla/4 stylesheet, and unless they detect MSIE sent the Mozilla/4 stylesheet.
Mozilla/4s stylesheet implementation is so buggy it needs a separate stylesheet. The error is to assume there are only MSIE and Mozilla 4.x browsers, but before Mozilla/5 (Mozilla 1.x), many webpages were optimized only for the two browsers mentioned above.
Did you ever open one of these V2000 recorders? They were so expensive because of the way they were built.
They are much more complicated than VHS because of their dynamic track following mechanism. Recording heads in the head drum were moveable, which made them following the tracks more closely than VHS, which allowed for thinner tracks, thus double the play time.
The problem was, there were no highly integrated control circuits for that in the beginning of the 1980es. The result: V2000 recorders were huge and completely filled with analog and digital electronics.
And the picture quality is not that good as many state here. It's very sharp, but quite noisy on my two machines.
BTW, V2000 had dynamic track following in the early '80es, why did hard drive/floppy manufacturers continue to use old fashioned stepper motors until the end of the 80es, if better technology was there for at least 5 years?

Clusters are expensive, because they fill large rooms and consume much energy.
Clusters are popular because usually you have to jusitfy the cost for purchasing the computers, but not the energy it uses, and you put it in a room that's there anyway.

...but an Apple Computer doesn't need MacOS to boot. You can install Linux without any problems, even if you have a clean disk and no MacOS CDs.
I don't know what Phoenix will do, it might be similar, or it might actually need Windows to boot.
Let's hope the new Bios just helps Windows detect hardware, and doesn't make Windows necesary to boot.

No. xiph.org changed the licensing of their vorbis implemention from LGPL to a BSD style license exactly for that reason. Even RMS agreed!

The real problem was not the game, but the rifle available to the children. How stupid must one be to blame the game!

V2000 cassettes are symmetrical, you can flip them and record a max. of 4 hours on each side. There were even longplay machines with 2x8h.

In fact, work done per cost is what counts.
Cost includes:
- Price of the computer
- Price for energy supply
- Price for rental of the room your computer fits in
- Salary for the people operating the system
