Very interesting how that are adding a lightning arrest system. From description it looks like systems I have seen for smaller launch sites. Wonder why it took them so long to add one here? I for one do NOT what to meet our Electrically charged overlords...
Constructing a Dyson sphere or Niven Ring would take a very advanced society. Societies fall. Once fallen without deposits of raw materials to build up from the species would de-evolve.
Ringworld trilogy touched on this; but it does seem logical.
There is intelligent life out there. I bet it makes good coffee..
I wandered in to Radio Shack the other day for a TOSLINK cable. Young "not quite a geek" spys me and approaches. "How may I help you?" he says. "I need a few TOSLINK cables" says I.. and reach for the Radio Shack house brand.. "OH" he interrupts; "You don't want those; you want these" and reaches for a brand name that will remain nameless.
I see a 59.00 dollar price tag on a 3 meter cable and look at the fellow.
"So; what's the difference" I ask (Knowing he has not clue)
"Well"; said the young not quite a geek; "these have better insulation".
"Oh?" I counter; "Insulation from what; sunspots?"
"No" he replies; "for all of the electronic gear around your house. The better insulation blocks hum and pops".
Sad thing was the young lad had no idea why his argument was pointless.
I remember the day when I could walk into a Radio Shank and hob-nod with my fellow wizards.. Now; I could probably go to 7-11 and get better advice.
Rant mode off..
TNG was a bit to clinical for me. Enterprise was darker (Set design and plots) and fits better for a theater setting. A media room designed after TNG would be to "bright and cheery" for me. Give me one modeled after Entrprise. Oh, and T'Pol would be a must.. for.. "Authentic" reasons.. Coff, coff..
"Sit right here; darling.. I am afrid we have spatial anomalies on tap tonight;)
"adding a small jolt of electricity, they increased the hydrogen yield to a new record for this type of system"
Just wot we all need; a jolt to the nads to increase productivity..
iSCSI is new; but with the introduction of 10G into the maistream you will see it take a chunk out of Fibre Channel SANS. As it should. Now; there are redundancy issues to address; but the technology is coming. EMC has priced them selves into a corner.
