Not really sure if its the best solution, but just because it'd be so fooking cool, how about a 2.8 TB RAID array? This guy did it: http://groups.google.ca/group/alt.comp.hardware.pc -homebuilt/msg/f8479484a5254f5d?hl=en

The price/GB is nice, but 14 drives in a rackmount case for merely 0.5TB? Bah!

Four months ago I detailed in a lengthy Usenet post how I built a 2.8TB RAID 5 array for home use. It sits on the floor of my hallway closet and, I'm happy to report, hasn't had a lick of trouble. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on my project.

Python Software Foundation would be my guess since it comes up first in Google.

As our applications inevitably migrate from our computers to the network, the network literally becomes the computer.

This new supercomputer gets faster as bandwidth increases. A completely optical network means bandwidth would approach the speed of light. My computer could use your hardware as seamlessly as mine.

Meanwhile Ray Kurzweils predictions of $1000 of hardware with the processing power of a human brain arising within our lifetimes is also quite conceivable.

These factors, combined with Metcalfe's Law (The power of the network increases exponentially by the number of computers connected to it) all point to an emergent, distributed, networked, increasingly "intelligent" global nervous system.

And we've got front row seats :)

A sharpe dog is like a pointy kitty. Shar-pei.

A one-molecule transistor would seem nice. I've heard of better: A Single Electron Transistor (SET)

Close, but SETs run the gamut from being single molecules (those based on carbon nanotubes) to something resembling a 'traditional' transistor structure (and of comparable dimensions). The single-electron portion refers to the current passing through these devices.

While much of the work in SETs remains experimental, many researchers have succeeded in creating room-temperature SETs over the last decade (if you try this search on isiknowledge, you get something like 15 pages of references) with varying degrees of success and ease of fabrication.

For more on SETs and their operation, google for quantum blockade and/or SETs. The first hit when you google for both those terms links to a review paper that seems pretty decent.

I'm interested in Sillport, but it seems to be a Google Whack. Do you have a link?

People will dig up copper wire and steal it to sell.

It's worse than that, I'm afraid. During the fall of the Soviet Union, when vodka supplies ran short, they were stealing cables to ferment the insulation into a vile concoction known as Televod.

I'll assume you're not trolling since you've used the +1 bonus...

1) Wired infrastructure is not free of operational costs. Bandwidth costs money, no matter how you distribute it. Upgrading a wireless concentrator is on the same magnitude of expense as upgrading a wired concentrator, even on eBay.

2) Wired infrastructure also obsoletes quickly and expensively. Google for new york obsolete telephone for some very costly examples.

3) Africa is not a homogeneous zone of people "who almost never go farther than a quick walk [from] their home[s]". The various metropolises of the continent's northern coast are each different from Capetown. Mining and river towns of the eastern interior certainly have different communications needs than the coastal port cities on the western half of the continent, or the fishing communities of the north who need to deal with international markets on a daily basis. And yes, there are some Africans who, for various reasons, will never want or need any kind of telephone.

Please don't let your cultural baises and lack of information prejudice your viewpoints in this manner.

Sorry to have digressed, but I think the drug issue bears some relevance to the discussion as the Bush admin wouldn't be adverse to tracking suspected drug offenders over the internet as they are already known to blur the distinction between drug trafficker and terrorist as we all know from that infamous super bowl commercial.

So why blame Windows? Why not blame the network card driver?

Isn't sugar a simple carbohydrate and glucose is a specific form of simple carbohydrate? For example, doesn't the brain use glocose OR fructose or sucrose? Glucose, fructose and sucrose are sugars but are not molecularly identical.

google definition of sugar:

A sugar is a form of carbohydrate; the most commonly used sugar is a white crystalline solid, sucrose; used to alter the flavor and properties ('mouthfeel', preservation, texture) of beverages and food. The "simple" sugars, such as glucose (which is produced from sucrose by enzymes or acid hydrolysis), are a store of energy which is used by biological cells.

Starch = complex carb
sugar = simple carb

To say the brain runs on 'glucose' not sugar is like saying people drive fords, not cars.

chain enough sugar molecules together and you get starch.

It's the difference between a chain and a link in a chain. But the type of link is the type of sugar. glucose might be like a dog chain that is twisted and wound in the middle, where fructose might be a simple oval. They are both simple links.

google definition of ketone:

Waste product produced when the body is using fat as an energy source. Ketones are acids, and can cause damage or death to cells. Excess ketones accumulate in the blood and are excreted in the urine. Acetone is a ketone which can be eliminated through the lungs. Ketoacidotic animals often have a chemical smell to their breath (Some nail polish removers contain acetone - it is a similar smell).

There is a difference between 'starch fat' and 'fat fat'. Sugar is converted to 'starch fat' and back again. Fat fat is molecularly different and is not a good substitute for sugar.

Also, I did know about fat to glucose, but my point about eliminating carbs from the diet is that the body has to work harder to provide that glucose, so instead of eating a greasy hamburger patty without the bun (to avoid the carbs), eat less greasy meat and a bit more carbs. That way, you're providing a more balanced availability of energy for both the muscles (to get the high energy foods they need when walking, jogging, etc), and the brain (so it has its readily available glucose).

Or do you do one of:

a) use the browse system provided by the application?

b) use the search feature provided by the application?

c) search all of the data available on the entire system

A system like this would use different tools than current directory based systems in the same way that gmail uses different tools than Outlook.

this is all google turns up and that was my BBS :) Same one?

I tried this from http://www.google.ca/ which is the default Canadian Google page. In the process of setting it up, the server somehow ended up sending me into a redirect loop which caused Firefox to balk and never actually got my customizations set up. The loop was between google.ca and google.com. Bizarre...

Yes, because France (yes I'm canadian) is definately a terrorist hotspot. I know it's been said before but haven't you ever googled "French Military Victories" and hit "I'm feeling lucky"?

I don't know if this counts as prior art, though, becuase I don't know when RTFiles was introduced. The earliest mention of it on Usenet was in 1998.

How do you help people in Windows if you don't use it yourself or have a box running Windows nearby to help you in giving the user on the phone "click-by-click" instructions?

By memory usually.. images.google.com is a great help too. For example

Neutrons are magnetic (i.e. they have a magnetic moment), and in a neutron star they're all lined up.

Google can handle these conversions just fine... I've been using it all night to go the *other* way. :)

Considering Gravity as an emergent property may yield some interesting results.

At the same time, the desensitization is a bit of a different issue in the case of internet hunting because presumably the "hunter" is at least partially motivated by a desire to kill something, whereas for the consumer at the supermarket this is usually an irrelevant side effect.

I assume you mean: ship us off to the Gulag, a Stalinist prison camp for dissidents. The Galapagos islands were made famous by Darwin and are a hotbed of evolutionary development. Sending us off to the Galapagos would hasten our evolution.

If the quetion lies within the definition of vaporwear:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&q =define:vaporware
"description of software/features that is/are not currently available but may never be available"

In other words: When a company claims to be working on or completing software that is unlikely to exist or to ever be completed. Prime examples: Duke Nukem Forever

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,61935, 00.html
"The company's perennial absentee title, Duke Nukem Forever, is still vaporware. The first-person shooter, now in its sixth year of development, earned almost as many votes as all the other nominations combined."

You should really watch The Power of Nightmares. It pretty much illustrates exactly what you are talking about and why. It also shows how much america OVERREACTED and is still overreacting, to this terrorist "threat".

It basically describes in detail, how the US govt linked al qaeda (sp?) and osama when they had NO PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP before 9/11. THey pretty much made al qaeda to seem like a crazy network of spies and infiltrators, when in reality, osama had given the hijackers money and then sent them on their way. He basically financed the whole project but is not some kind of genius criminal mastermind that he is made out to be.

Seriously, watch it. It really opened my eyes. From the BBC webpage (currently down but previously located with this google search.

I'm using it now and couldn't be happier! It's already saved me over 10 seconds, and there's no catch!
