Residential single-phase maximum power in Romania is limited to some 6 kW (220V times 25 Amps). If you want more, you need three phase power (which costs more, and might be or might not be available).
You can simplify the computation:
You need 8 kWh in 3 minutes (or 1/20 of an hour). So, that's 20 * 8 kWh, or 160 kW (that isn't including any losses).
Your typical electric oil-filled radiator's power is about 2 kW, just to make a little comparison.
Avoiding one food or another is perfectly understandable (there are plenty of people that are "biologically unfit" for consumption of some foods - like, let's say, cucumbers). Also, some people have "strange" choices, in that they eat one type of processed food but not another with similar ingredients (like sausages but not meat).
However, that eating disorder is when your feeding habits are clearly unable to provide you with a sustainable eating (most of the calories, most of the vitamins, most minerals and trace elements and so on).
I thought that lack of taste was a result of "force-growing" with fertilizers and so on. Apples grown in my parents' backyard had a wonderful "fullness" to them, strong taste and long-enduring aftertaste, and (at least when very fresh) were shooting drops when bitten.
analog-and-digital DVI can be converted to VGA (but - let's say - digital only DVI as found on AMD's integrated graphics can not (at least not using the passive, "free with any video card" adapter.
Anyone new to this market would be sued out of existence by the holders of game related patents (not to mention the initial cost of hardware development, the initial cost of software development - devices and SDKs, the cost to produce games that will sell the console and so on)
Koenigsegg survives, and sells just "a couple" of cars. There are other specialty car (and motorcycle) makers that survive without selling millions and millions of cars a year.
Tesla (the roadster and the upcoming sedan) are aiming to sell "just a couple of cars" - to people that value the fact that they have a car almost nobody else has.
CPUs have a long way to go to reach the level of memory bandwidth and latency available to a top grade graphic card - even triple channel DDR3 kits offer only some 50GB/s, while a AMD 4870 has some 115 GB/s. Latency on the GPU is similar with a top end desktop memory (server memory tends to have lower latency and reduced speed though, even if servers might use more memory channels than the three used in the top end desktops).
AMD really cares about competing with top-end Intel processors - as when the Athlon ruled the roost, AMD sold its chips at a premium. Now (since the Core2Duo launched), with Intel in top spot, AMD is selling its processors cheaper, so it's losing possible profit.
Unfortunately, anything over 40mm is not usable in the USA (and 37mm is only for signal flares), so you need to use a puny calibre like 600 Nitro, or lesser
I don't watch TV either, and you have absolutely no reason to consider yourself better than me because you read classical literature (you might be better than me, but I'm not qualified enough to judge that).
Good points, and good post (I haven't thought about out-of-copyright books). However, the smugness (makes me a better person) rubs me the wrong way.
There are things where an ebook reader is inferior to real books.
Can you share books with your friends? Can you sell the books (or give some of them for free)? If you have two kids, can they read two different books you bought for your ebook? There are things the eBook Readers do better than paper books - but not all of them.
How much would it cost you to buy one book? $$ versus $$$
The 5200 FX was even seen as a disappointment, graphics wise (it ended up as a "budget card", the weakest of a weak NVidia generation). "Most people I know do not use built in video"
Yet, Intel owns half the graphic chipset business (thru its integrated graphics chipsets)
Ex-socialist countries (or at least Romania) usually have a pretty solid pre-natal and post-natal medical assistance (births usually take place in a real hospital, pregnancy is supervised by a real doctor, and so on). By contrast, in Netherlands pregnant women see a doctor only when the midwife considers necessary (and this isn't always enough), and many births take place at home.
"It seems the AMA decided that the lower 50% are unfit"
Let's put the other 50% to do twice the work in order to compensate for this halving of the numbers
You seem to confuse the AMA guidelines (or whatever they are called) with the capacity to be a good doctor.
While everybody who finishes medical school in a decent teaching system has learnt/will be able to learn enough to be a doctor, to be a good doctor takes more than your scores in such and such contests. I've heard enough horror stories to know that (at least for small issues) it's better to be treated by an student or intern who cares, than the best doctor who doesn't give a damn.
Yes, if your servers run at some high temperature - I assume above water boiling point, based on the specific type of liquid dessicant. Maybe quite a bit more than the boiling point, as it seems this uses a chemical bond

I've seen cholesterol-free sunflower oil. It surely must be better than regular sunflower oil too.

"based on the most common non-Windows OS"
The most common non-Windows OS might be Symbian, as the most common non-Intel processor architecture is ARM

Also, only some people have "always on" email, while very many can instantly receive SMS wherever whenever.

Great idea - pay more (10% versus 7.5%) for less (only above a certain threshold)
Has the potential to do better in hot and humid climates (and might do better in hot and dry climates, although it might be more expensive)

The Apollo 13 was a near-failure, but not on the launch vehicle - the launch vehicle was a complete success.
"they were off the shelf Minuteman IIIs" :)
If you can even call a nuclear ballistic missile "off the shelf"
