O Programa de Estabilização Econômica, ou PlanoReal, foi concebido e implementado em três etapas: 1ª estabelecimento do equilíbrio das contas do governo, objetivando eliminar a principal causa da inflação; 2ª criação de um padrão estável de valor, a Unidade Real de Valor (URV), e 3ª emissão de uma nova moeda nacional com poder aquisitivo estável, o Real.

DESKTOP HARD DRIVES SHRINK

When you say "3.5-inch hard drive," most people think of desktop PCs. But that presumption is changing as 2.5-inch hard drives find their way into desktop PCs and servers.

The trend first took hold with servers and enterprise hard drives, as 2.5-inch drives achieved high rotations per minute— 10,000 or 15,000 rpm-and better performance while generating less heat than 3.5-inch drives.

Now, consumer PCs are moving to 2.5-inch drives as well. A push toward smaller, design- and energy-conscious systems underlies manufacturers' inclusion of 2.5-inch drives in desktops. Mainstream desktop manufacturers use laptop components to build the compact PCs of the future, so it makes sense that some compact PCs have 2.5-inch hard drives inside. Even power desktops can get into the 2.5 inch game with Western Digital/s VelociRaptor hard drive, which zips at 10,000 rpm. Capacity is no longer an issue: 250GB to 320GB 2.5 inch drives are commonplace, and 500GB drives have begun shipping. But 2.5-inch drives won't take over on the desktop: Since 3.5-inch drives offer a better price/capacity ratio, 3.5-inch drives will continue to prevail.

TRUTHS ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER

1. Today one-third of the world's people have no access to electricity. By 2050 demand for electricity will triple. Countries with large populations, like China and India, are turning to nuclear energy.

2. Nuclear reactors emit no greenhouse gases. Today's plants are preventing emissions of 2.5 billion tons of CO2 annually.

3. Nuclear is the only energy industry to take full responsibility for all its wastes. In countries using this form of power, radioactive wastes amount to less than 1% of total national wastes.

4. Reactors can now be used for desalination to meet the world's growing shortage of clean water. New reactors are expected to produce hydrogen and battery power for clean-energy cars.

5. Chernobyl spurred the creation of the World Association of Nuclear Operators. Today's reactors use a "defense in depth strategy," comprising multiple layers of backup safety systems, to prevent the release of radioactivity even under a worse-case scenario.

6. U.S. public support for nuclear energy has reached 70%, a record high.

SOME ALBUM DOWNLOADS HAVE MISSING
TRACKS. HERE'S WHY.

If you have ever tried to download the Allman Brothers Band's box set Dreams or Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing, you’ve encountered the mystery of the iTunes "partial album." In the case of Dreams, for instance, the first disc lacks six of its 17 tracks. Irritated? You're not the only one.

So what gives? Most of the missing songs were recorded in an era when digital rights didn't exist. The record label usually owns the copyright on the recording, but there is a separate copyright for the song, owned by the songwriter and/or its publisher, whose consent may be required for the label to use the works digitally. Commonly, rights holders withhold permission because of artistic or monetary disputes. But don't despair if your favorite song is missing. It might still appear. While this story was being reported, a missing live version of Little Feat’s "Dixie Chicken" mysteriously became available. Beth Kowitt
