What is Power?
For those interested who weren't following the M$N vs. AOL Ads thread, there was a request for the old 'What is Power?' ads Apple did in the 90's. They've been posted at the following URL, for interested parties...

Power is the ability to show up to a party uninvited and completely unknown to anyone present, and within half an hour go home with the hottest woman there, and shag her all night long. That is power.
Any questions?
Engineers don't understand the whole concept of shagging. Pleasse elaborate.

Usually, it is not your power...it's her power...that agrees to a shagging experience... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

isnt power also torque? or am i going to fail my AP physics exam?
Force = dp/dt
Kinetic E = [Integral]p*dv = 1/2 * m * v^2
Power = dE/dt
Power = (S(S Force *dt)dv) / dt
Where "S" is an integral sign.
Interestingly enough, a G4 has a lot less power, in a traditional sense, than does a Pentium. The Pentium dissipates a whole lot more wattage. Information theory is a bit different than conventional physics.

If a G4 tower comsumes 200 watts, then it's the equivalent of lifting a 100 kg object by 20 centimeters every second.
Of course, a PowerBook G4 has a 50 watt power supply and weighs about 2.5 kg. You would have to lift one from rest by two meters every second to do the same work it does!
