Are you telling me that I switched to compact florescent bulbs so they can power that thing? LOL

Seriously, there was a 1 hr show on the history channel tues night all about it. It uses a LOT of juice. Can't remember the exact number, but it uses something like 120,000 kW / hour.

Come on, man - there's only like a one in a trillion chance of this destroying the earth. Winning the lottery twice has worse odds.

Oh wait, that happened. Well, I'm selling my crap and becoming a Hare-Krishna.

I was off by a bit. Uses 220 to 300 megawatts. Twice what Geneva uses.

Hey, maybe when this thing is running full bore, we will get bitch-slapped, Tower of Babel style! What if it overloads and emits an electromagnetic pulse that completely wipes out every bit of technology on the planet? Would my 360 warranty cover that?
