Do you think there are so many empty batteries? I picked those packets in the same second. I personally have never had a bad battery and I think that problem only arises when the computer is completely shut off from power. No, I think the problem is elsewhere.

It will be higher and higher in the near future. I saw someone saying early this year - I am doing this for a week now, and was reading earlier posts - that it could be some ADSL routers provided by Turkish ISP. If this is a big guy, then we can expect ????( I don't dare to estimate) requests/sec when coming into the pool.
