I remember mine, Dual 300A @ something around 500 with two short-stroked WD Raptors in RAID-0. Workstation power for a fraction of the price :)

LOL! I still have my Radio Shack branded one

Oups, meant DSD

incluscluding SDS and SACD rips

Foobar 2000 with the proper plugins will play 5.1 audio (Mac Mini on my Marantz 6015)

Will try with plex

What I'm wondering is Why Canada Services Agency doesn't have a failover, and even more so, why the heck doesn't 911 have a backup provider.

That's why many stores give a cash rebate instead. Microbytes in Quebec is one of them. And many places only accept Visa and Masterdard due to Amex's higher fees

Not here in Montreal. I called 911 for a very depressed friend, and only the Ambulance showed up. But I called from my cell phone, not a land line, maybe that's the difference

I don't know about AAA, but here CAA is buying mobile charge stations. So they will be able to give you a quick charge so you can get to the nearest charger. I'm already seeing a lot more Model 3s on the road, and it's a very nice car. Yes it's expensive, but as with any new tech, it will go down in price. I can buy a Bluray player for 50-60 bucks now, they were ten times more expensive when they came out. So yes prices will trickle down. Besides, if you take in account the only maintenance you have to do on an EV is make sure the washer fluid is filled up, an EV makes sense in the long run.

And content producers are probably still wondering why people download stuff

Some of us are not using their ridicule low bandwitdh for pirating stuff. 15GB goes by pretty fast when you're using a *legal* streaming service (also known as Netflix & such). Besides, some games go easily over multi-GB downloads, PC or consoles (most recent console is a PS2, I'm more of a PC gamer). What about people streaming from Tou.TV or other channel's streaming services, in a legal way? it's CD-tax all over again because they are stuck in a model that doesn't work anymore... What about people using backblaze or any other cloud service? My DVR has a 3TB drive, and I stream a good percentage of it over my phone while not home, so my legally recorded OTA contents is gonna cost me is I stream more than about an hour and a half of free ATSC? And they're wondering why people are going illegal IPTV...

And win95 boots with a 386 and 4MB RAM. Doesn't mean it's useable. Running XP under 512MB is punishment.

Yes, but even a coal plant is way more efficient than a ICE, thus less polluting than burning gasoline

Thermal management should prevent that from happening. Maybe it was holding the battery wrong?

client and server can run on the same machine. For now I'm recording TV with a Media Center machine, but could do it with either MythTV or BeyondTV. The reason I chose MCE is for simplicity, and with a couple plugins can be used as a backend for any Kodi device
