For the record, in the United States odometers are covered by title 49 of the US code, chapter 327.
Also for the record, in the United States, it's very important for everyone to know that they should Never Talk to the Police.

Actually, electrolytic capacitors age
faster
when they're powered up, so you'll get a longer calendar life out of them if they're turned off when not needed. All else being equal (which of course it never is) their lifespan (hours they last while powered) will be the same whether they're left continuously on or turned off/on with random periodicity. There are a ton of articles on the topic but basically, since the power supply industry became commoditized if a manufacturer can save a fraction of a cent by buying a cheaper cap from a different vendor, they'll do it. For them, it's the end user's responsibility to keep indestructible backups and just throw away and replace any hardware that fails. That's pretty much commodities in a nutshell; if it's broke and the warranty's expired you throw it away and get a new one, nobody else cares
especially
not the manufacturer...

ISP's do suck, for example I admin a web account with Lunarpages for a nonprofit that tries to place released felons in jobs with established companies. Lunarpages has a policy of creating one username per account, but somehow in this case they created two, and when they noticed they couldn't figure out how that could have happened and their solution was to soundlessly
terminate the account!
No offer to refund the remaining year of hosting that I had already paid for; nothing! F-ing morons...

Hobbing gears at my place of employ, back in the days when the "C" part of "CAD" was the guy's brain, and the I/0 device was his pencil. This was a wartime gear, probably for a Bofors 40mm quad AA, which we made under license. Not anymore though, nowadays we own Bofors:

I have
thousands
of these pictures, back in those days the boiler plate on our letterhead said (among other things) "the finest machine shop on the globe." Here's the text associated with the picture, and yes the 1942 date is accurate and we did have that paper cup technology (picture attached), and I think the molotov cocktail is just an oil can!
"The gear is assembled with the stand and drilled and reamed for the securing taper bolts used. The drilling is accomplished by an electro-hydraulic horizontal drill unit mounted on a rotary table; the stand and gear assembly being secured and supported by a stationary fixture."
A bit terse but when you know as much about machining as hamei you can read between the lines!

Well I've only been to the emergency room once due to a stupid-ass maneuver I was trying to do on a lathe, but at the height of WWII when we had 11,500 guys machining parts we averaged one lost-time injury per
day.
Here's a better look at our WWII paper cups:

That's filmed in your shop? Cool! What's the video editor of choice on your

The biggest lathe in our prototype shop is Chinese, from Hunan. For the most part it's a good lathe but there are a couple of forehead-smackers, for one they did not avail themselves of quick swap chuck technology, which means that half the time you're trying to get the job done with the wrong chuck because you don't want to go through the anguish of swapping in the right one, and for another it's almost impossible to put the thing in neutral! A millimeter off center and she creeps. Very annoying when you've got the chuck key in. And for a third the feeds and speeds placard is seemingly written in Egyptian hieroglyphics...

Living in the middle of the farm belt as I do I can attest that if you're not in the metro area you can set up your own fresh produce market along the side of any road. But yes, if you do try to do that within the confines of the city limits (Minneapolis/St. Paul and inner ring suburbs) you
will
be cuffed and stuffed...

Oh yeah I would never leave the chuck key in unattended, that's the road to perdition. I meant when you're trying to tighten or loosen the chuck and the engine slips out of neutral and starts creeping. Fortunately the lever to engage the engine is a throttle rather than an on/off so when it does slip out the chuck just barely starts turning.

Multiple-host SCSI busses are only supported when all devices have a feature called "contingent allegiance." The tape drive is unlikely to.
Indeed; here's the relevant chapter at techpubs, sounds like it's racing at this point:
Code:
Flag Constant SRF_CONTINGENT_ALLEGIANCE_CLEAR indicates that the driver wishes to clear a contingent allegiance condition with the host adapter driver. After a host adapter driver has returned sense data to the device driver, all future requests are immediately returned with SC_ATTN until this flag is set.
