It's said that the tax was for every computing machine but big companies pressured the government to remove it and what the government did was only tax microcomputers and not systems like mainframes and such.
I don't know if the law changed in the last years but here (Spain) it's illegal to sell a computer without a operative system.
Today the most easy option probably is to install Linux but I remember this law was there at year 2000 and at that time Linux was harder to install than FreeDOS.
Many buildings hear use electricity for heating, electricity is cheaper at night. We have heaters that heat some kind of ceramic material and keeps releasing the heat during all the day.
I'm Spanish and I'm finding this very hilarious because that explains a "urban legend" that was about that computer. People said that the Amstrad had a secret chip that only the NSA could use.
Yes secret chips for a foreign government in a offline computer.
In the times that I used forums with phpBB and SMF I really liked that I could select the font that I wanted to use, using Comic Sans is a nice way to let people understand that you are using the satire.
It's just a sticker, but a sticker that has a license. In the world where we live I would expect that something like this has to be aproved by a legal team.
My experience with WordPress ended a few years ago but it was with a few news blogs with 10k daily visitors with 50k page loads.
The first "trouble" with WordPress was that I had to fiddle with the config files of Apache, php and MySQL to improve the performance in a old i5 where the websites where hosted.
The worst part of WordPress is that the main redactor (the boss) was continuously installing plugins and themes developed by monkeys that ended more than a few times with the website with "nice and shiny" webshells installed by remote hackers. The most recurring culprit was that the themes used JavaScript libraries that where years old and even if the developers of such libraries updated those for security, the developers of the themes never updated the themes.
I'm looking to create a personal blog and most probably I'll go with WordPress with a official theme.
PS and Edit: I'm not a developer but even I can recognise that accepting inputs from the users without checking that the user only uses text and not special symbols is a bad idea.
Not scam ads but I've been having troubles with adsense ads that redirect the webpage I'm seeing to a copy of the website of my ISP asking to update information about my account.
Wasn't able to report it so... If they get the money they don't care to spread scams or malware.
The computer with the 72KB was the Amstrad CPC472
