Cool, an Ipad with a real keyboard.

I'm happy to assist dictators but draw the line at working for Steve Ballmer
The article doesn't give any useful information about what was actually going on and doesn't mention dodgy landlord Haresh Parmar cited in the summary.
Fourth way, if you live near high voltage cables run cables beneath to tap of electricity by induction. People have been prosecuted in the UK for doing this.
The electric company meters the supply upstream of the domestic supplies so they have an idea if someone is drawing electricity illegally as all the individual readings should add up to the global reading minus losses.
Citroen DS lights work this way. In order to get a bit more visibility out of the puny late 1960s headlamps the reflector behind the lamp would pivot to point in the direction you pointed the steering wheel.
It's the same strategy used by police and councils, sending out fines with threats of prosecution for minor motoring offences. Realistically the case is unlikely to go to court...
For example, someone driving at 67mph in a 60mph zone may be faced with a £30 fine, but if they let it go to court they risk getting 6 points on their license (halfway to losing it!) and a fine in the thousands.
You are contradicting yourself. You say that the case in unlikely to go to court then you say that it will go to court and they risk fines in the thousands.
The latter is more accurate, the case will go to court if you don't pay or contest the fine and you will face additional costs if you lose. Parking and speeding fines are no brainers for the police and councils.

You should try working in my company. Only the MD and me are over 40, there are a few guys over 30 and everyone else is under 30, it is like Logan's run. I assume they kill IT folk when they reach 30 because they get too expensive, salary wise.
Jenny Aguter has never been a stranger to nudity, from the Railway Children where she was only too ready to rip off her bloomers to Spooks where she has a fcuk in the stairwell of Mi.5. Still got a good ass despite drawing a pension.
> The main reason, in my mind, to upgrade is being able to effectively use 64-bit machines fully--and have more than 4GB of RAM.
in which case you'll need to wait for proper 64 bit support for many windows 7 applications and given the hell of 32 bit / 64 bit software not talking Windows 7 is a bit of a nightmare in my experience.
I've also not noticed any performance increase between 32 and 64 bit apps or between windows 7 64 bit and windows xp 32 bit. Basically, compared with Ubuntu, I would say that Windows 7 64 bit is not ready for prime time.
I see a gap of 239 miles and a 4700 foot pass, no way you can get maximum milage on a pass
That might be an issue depending on the grade. It has a direct drive powertrain like most electric bike. Electric bikes are generally wound for town cruising speeds (25km) and the motors are prone to overheating and powerloss climbing steeper grades, electric bikes used in the hills are often powered at the crank to use the bike's gears. Sounds like they will have similar problems without a gearbox.
Is anyone working with GWT Query? What is the status of this project?
This sounds a lot like a Mach 3.0 uK variant I worked on that ran on the Intel Hypercube. Before Intel canned that project. The interesting thing about that project was that in order to simulate the Hypercube we ran the OS on clusters of i386 machines. To me, this was the real application of the technology, exploiting the power of commodity boxes with a single OS.
Interestingly a lot of the original Mach 3.0 team got hired by Microsoft never to be be seen again (they were sent to some gulag somewhere cold and wet near alaska... Seattle I think they call it).
The Amstrad PCW runs on CP/M. There were 200,000 units sold and they are still in use and there is still some 3rd party support.

I believe the hitchhikers guides were written on the PCW.
The main issues to look for with LEDs is some of the cheaper ones give out a horrible ghostly white light.
An article I read in the Economist.com claimed the horrible light output from Chinese cheap CFLs and LEDs was due to the fact that ambient light is whiter in those countries so they like their indoor lighting that way. They are now starting to adapt their bulbs for European/US markets.
Interesting. My local supermarket is selling LED bulbs rated at 50 years! I bet the electronics give out sooner though, esp. if they are made in China.
Regarding CFL, I fitted my house out 5 years ago in all the rooms where lights tend to stay switched on for a long time (e.g. all evening) and have only had 1 blow so I count that as a win. The wiring isn't great (it's France). In rooms like the loo where the light goes on and off I still have incandescents but will move to LED technology soon.
We only have a 6kw supply to the house and heat with electricity so saving power is very important to me.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
