Capricorn Technologies is a low-cost, high-density, energy efficient data storage solutions provider based in San Francisco, California. The founder and CEO is C.R. Saikley.
Capricorn Technologies traces its roots to the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle to build an “Internet Library” to preserve all human knowledge. In December 2003, Kahle contacted his longtime friend, C.R. Saikley, with a proposal: develop the Archive’s next-generation storage system. The system would have to be inexpensive to manufacture and operate, it would have to be reliable and, with an initial target of 1 Petabyte, it would have to be massively scalable.
Saikley began by evaluating off-the-shelf solutions, thinking that surely there was already something available that met the cost, density and power consumption requirements specified by Kahle. However, he soon discovered that there was nothing available that achieved what he knew was possible, so he and the PetaBox team began development of their own solution.
The success of the custom design hinged on staying within a tight power budget. The critical goals of high storage density, reliability, and low operating and cooling costs were all dependent on low power consumption. The team achieved its goals with a 100TB system which was placed in service in June 2004.
At that same time, Kahle and Saikley began discussing ways to make PetaBox technology available on a wider scale, and Capricorn Technologies was formed. Capricorn began operations shortly thereafter and shipped its first products in September 2004.
Today Capricorn Technologies continues to attempt to expand the PetaBox family, providing Linux-based storage solutions with the lowest possible Total Cost of Ownership to leading universities, research labs, web service providers, national libraries, major scientific and computational facilities, video film archives, and massive digital preservation sites worldwide.

The Wang River is altogether 335 km long. Its waters flow from south to north. One of the principal settlements along the river is Lampang, which is situated on the north bank of a curve in the river. From Lampang, the river extends north towards the Chiang Rai Province. Following the river south from Lampang, it tributes the Ping River at the town of Tak. The Ping River is itself a tributary of the Chao Phraya River.

The 1965 Tour de France was memorable for a number of reasons. In his first year as a professional, Felice Gimondi, a substitute replacement on the Salvarani team, captures the overall title ahead of Raymond Poulidor, last year’s second place finisher. The 52nd edition of the Grand Boucle was counter-clockwise (Pyrenees first) and consisted of 22 stages and 4177 km (~ 2596 miles) with an average speed of 35.886 km/h (22.3 mph).
Gimondi would go on to become one of only five riders, the others being Alberto Contador and five-time Tour winners Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault, to have won all three of the major Tours. Besides Gimondi’s first tour and win, it was a first for other reasons: the ‘65 Tour started in Cologne, Germany (the first time the Tour started in Germany, and only the third time it started outside France), and it was the first time the start ramp was used in time trials.
Jacques Anquetil, who won the previous four Tours de France (1961-1964), did not participate in this tour.
Jan Janssen defends his jersey and wins the second consecutive points classification; he would go onto win another points title in 1967 and the overall title at the 1968 Tour de France.
Julio Jiminez wins two stages and his first of three consecutive King of the Mountains classification. Jiminez also won the KoM classification at the 1965 Vuelta a España—becoming one of (now) four riders to complete the Tour/Vuelta double by winning both Tour’s mountains competition in the same year.

Jump to: navigation, search
The ”’Prices Commission”’ was set up in the ] under the ], alongside the ”’Pay Board”’, in an attempt to control ]. The ] government of ], elected at the ], had previously abolished the ] in November 1970, shortly after taking power, relying on competition to keep prices down. At the same time, the Industrial Relations Act 1970 was intended to rein in the trades unions.
The Conservative’s economic policy was not successful, and the government took a U-turn. A 90-day freeze of pay and prices (as well as rents and dividends) was introduced on 6 November 1972 under the Counter-Inflation (Temporary Provisions) Act 1972. This was replaced by a Price and Pay Code, which strictly limited increases, supervised by a new Prices Commission and a Pay Board.
The Conservatives were unable to keep power after the inconclusive February 1974 UK general election, and the Pay Board was abolished in July 1974 by the minority Labour government led by Harold Wilson, but the Prices Commission continued. The scope of its powers were amended by the Price Commission Act 1977 and the Price Commission (Amendment) Act 1979.
Controls on prices were abolished soon after the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher won the 1979 UK general election, and the Counter-Inflation Act 1973 was repealed by the Competition Act 1980.
