how much standby power do ALL your appliances use?

Interesting. Who makes these?

That approach was tried, it was called communism, but come
to find out it became all about being a loyal "party member".

Spot the contradiction.

The Greeks did try democracy a few thousand years ago,

So they did. So there is a lot of experience to draw on,
thanks for pointing that out. (That is why you snipped and
changed the whole context of my reply, right?)

Nope, your rant against communism was simply irrelevant.

I suggest you google (or wiki) the concept of 'direct democracy'.

Which doesn't apply in America OR Australia.

WHO FUCKING SAID IT DID ?

Are you BRAIN DEAD as well as STUPID ?

No, that would be the person who introduced it in the discussion, IF they
already know it's irrelevant.!

I prefer screws on the TV stand/cabinet, but whatever works for you.

You're a Samsung Slut obviously.

LOL, great entertainment.

This shows your best debating skills I suppose.
Let me explain .....

GO FUCK YOURSELF

The CATV offers NO option receiver, so you're stuck with their SAMSUNG POS.

I have no intention of rolling around on the floor grasping under pieces of
furniture to switch off a TOTALLY INCOMPETENTLY designed pice of kit every time
I want to use it.

Maon at SAMSUNG not me. Do you NOT even begine to realise how infuriated I am
with their POS box ?

Nah. I'm a pussy cat. I just do this to amuse and/or deal with UTTER FUCKWITS.

The inability of most people to intelligently use the contents of their cranium is a
constant source of distress and simple bemusement to me.

Oh, google around. they do exist. I've never seen one IRL though. Wouldn't
be a lot of good to me since it would also shut off the hi-fi when I
turned the TV off.

BTW, the hi-fi DOES have REAL power switches, God Forbid.

We can agree on something at least !

Most religions serve a purpose for the faithful, and a problem for everyone
else.
Pity hypocrisy and fanaticism is so rife in so many of them.
Some Islamic's are just a bit more over-zealous than most.

Actually, I'd probably just have fun enjoying a drink with you. You come
across as pretty sound.

So your IQ must be > 154 then ?

You know what an IQ is btw ?

My physchological profile is pretty fucking excellent too aside from having
LOW tolerance for COMPLETE FUCKWITS like YOU.

Yeah, like stoning to death for sexual preferences or extra-marital sex.

Good to see you're so enlightened.

Settle down.
I was not implying in any way that it's an excuse for poor design, I don't

Better than flapping your arms around and saying how crap it is.

I'm an electronics designer of some repute. I would be mortified to design

So would I.

In that case you put a double adapter (or another power board) before the
auto power board.
Fixed power for those that need it, auto power off for those that need that
function.

There are quite a few around, but Googling is a bit hard due to all the
different names used.
They are often marketed as "green" power boards, like this one:
http://www.coolgreen.com.au/product.asp?pID=350&cID=40

That one even has one extra unswitched outlet, specially for Graham.

Since there is just the ONE CATV Co. in this country and no choice of receiver
exists to the best of my knowledge asive from HD based versions, what else can
one do ? It's the ONLY power-hog I have.

Actually, I was considering contacting Sansung, Virgin Media (the CATV Co. but
not expecting any sense from them) and various 'green' organsations to broaden
the knowledge about this fraud.

Agreed then.

Just how much spaghettit is acceptable to fic this design flaw ? Heck, I only
just got 6 way power blocks to cut down on the numbers needed.

Considering I'm 54 this week and can still pull 20-30 somethings, yes that
would be one way of looking at it.

When did you last have a threesome when their ages added up to yours ?

The trouble is that they embody extremes not seen elsewhere.

I've met and known some very decent Muslims indeed. They are often far more
ethical than followers of other religions.

As much as you need I figure.
A remote control power switch or auto power board is not much extra
spaghetti to fix an annoying design problem like that IMHO. You might even
be able to find one power board to do the whole job.

You might even find the remote solution rather satisifying, being able to
hit a remote switch and shut the stupid thing off while shouting "take THAT
you bastard!" :->
