  1. Perhaps it's because... on Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2003-2004 · · Score: 1

    ... more than half the stories have almost NO BASIS IN FACT!? The remainder are embarrassing to the current establishment and/or have no reasonable level of information or "light" to merit theri inclusion in major papers / media outlets.

  2. Anything with an induction motor on What Devices Produce the Largest Power Draw in PCs? · · Score: 1

    The reason that most electric motors work is that they shoot a bunch of electrons through miles and miles of wire. This creates a load on the circut that is higher than most. Heat has been mentioned as an indicator of what uses power... that's unequivocally true... the irony is that the things that draw cool air in (and by default push heated air out) cuase a lot of your power drain! Fans and hard drives are a huge draw along with the screen and peripherals. Look at the system parts that are targeted by power saving programs and OS's... that's not only because its easy to write drivers for them!

  3. Why aren't hte "big boys" doing it!? on Wireless LAN Onboard Passenger Aircraft · · Score: 1

    I cannot believe that I saw this comment, "why aren't the larger air carriers doing this?". Can you remember any time in history where a new, innovative, or even slightly different idea was first implemented by the ruling class / icon type institution? The reason that people like SAS do this first is multi-fold but the reasons include small company size, forgiving governmental regulation on technology, country mentality towards tech, and so on. More power to them!
