Simple. The California legislature prohibited them from raising retail
prices in response to rising oil prices.
Additionally, the California legislature ALSO prohibited PG&E from
entering into bulk power-transfer contracts (purchasing electricity
generated by excess capacity in other companies), and instead, had
to pay the "spot rate", that is, BIDDING (at auction) for excess
power that just happens to be being produced at the moment, which
tends to be VERY expensive.
One year ago, PG&E had 5 BILLION dollars in reserve.
Today, PG&E is over 7 BILLION dollars in debt.
That's a ***LOSS*** of 12 BILLION DOLLARS in only a year.
All because the California legislature enacted a law that MANDATED
that they sell electricity at a loss.

These rules are only 5 years old. PG&E has been in business for
over 100 years.
Think about it. 100 years of profitability.....put into irretrievable
bankruptcy by stupid Marxist idealism.
> They could always sell it and start up another type of business.
Who can sell it and start up another business?
The stockholders (that is, working people like you and me), just
get shafted....oh...and how about all of those grey-haired old
ladies who ***USED*** to be getting their retirement income from
the savings they had invested in PG&E bonds.
That's all fucked, too.
There's a LOT of people who were fucked over royally by the
California legislature.

First, you can't do that unless you ARE BANKRUPT.
2nd, reorganization is allowed ONLY WITH THE PERMISSION of the presiding
judge.

Because that was the only way to make it profitable again. Basically,
the stupid unions refused to yield, until the airline was in such bad
financial straights that NOBODY would loan them a dime.

I'm not in the "naming" business concerning origins.
However It's not a question of origin. It's a question about affordability
and the widespread use of PC's and their programs. UNIX has done little or
nothing to give private mass consumer communities affordable applications.
In fact they've honored high prices and have been a continuant with this in
regard.
Linux is of course a diversification from that. And I welcome it. In honor
of tight pockets.
Of course there isn't anything highly wrong (novice statement) with UNIX
software or hardware from a technical point of view. I've worked with it as
an end user using Digital's UNIX (and the nonsense Vi editor). More than 60%
of the terminals were dead under university course taken. This is no good.
Also the support from Digital, after a long conversation with the system
administrator when I complained, was abscent in quality on the mere Digital
argument that the system only had a price tag for 7000.000 SEK (about
875.000 USD at the time of the question) and that they had more important
customers.
It turned out that the Cobol compiler used a memory lock scheme not in
compliance with the UNIX memory scheme.
You tell me ,if that is possible on a Windows machine. I don't think so. Yes
? So much for UNIX original code quality.

Except boot.local is not in /sbin. Besides I thought all configuration
files were supposed to be in /etc to make it easier to backup.

How very true.
Although, I cannot but comment on two little errors in your statement:
you misplaced "just" and made a rather poor choice with another word.
Corrected, your sentence reads as follows: "That's because with Windows
it works, just, and there's no possibility to hop vendors."
Overall, you seem to be improving, little Pete.
