I don't understand what the problem with home automation is. Why does it need to be decentralized? You could have one switch station in the cellar, a small router running Linux would be fine. Then you connect that to a self-built electric autoswitchboard, connect a few sensors and cameras to the Linux box and do the rest in software. No need for proprietary light switches, but of course you need a separate wire for every light switch/bulb, a problem which can be solved by small "satellites" in each room, minimizing the need for extra copper. That solution is far superior IMO, you could for example trace the people in the house and only have lights in the rooms with actual persons in them, same for the speakers. Imagine, the music follows you!
TFA states that "It appears that hypokalaemia can be caused by excessive consumption of three of the most common ingredients in cola drinks â" glucose, fructose and caffeine." Glucose and Fructose are not contained in diet coke. I drink about 5-6l of diet coke per day and don't experience any prolems.

I am quite surprised nobody on Slashdot came up with this before. So I fired up GIMP to point out the obvious: http://pickhost.eu/images/0002/6185/milkywaycore.jpg
Can you imagine how boring and hideous it would be if every word was spelled phonetically?
You mean like, french?

Yeah I tried this last year, with wireshark instead of tcpdump, but there was _no one_ connected to that damn network. Basel Euroairport, that was.
