So, I'm obviously not the only one... I ordered at about the same time, and still haven't got my shirts, too. Ok, I'm living in Germany, so was expecting longer delivery times, but it's nearly two months now.
d'oh, of course the UPnP service is not compatible with my PS3 - I don't know how UDMA got in there... BTW, they have already announced to fix this problem with a firmware update later on.
Well, from my own experience, I would recommend one of the Synology NAS systems. I'm using a DS207+ myself, and while it's probably not the cheapest option, the device is well build, running linux, there is a ssh package available from the manufacturer and it comes with preinstalled mysql+php support. It also supports smb+afp, iTunes Sharing and offers a bunch of other services... The only downside at the moment is that the UDMA service is not compatible with my PS3, so no direct streaming right now.
After RTFA, I found out Ted Bryant is the Tsunami expert in this group of researchers. While researching for my thesis, I was confronted with his book, "Tsunami: the underrated hazard". This work, while being quite easy to understand, can hardly be called scientific based on his way of making citations (grouping all references at the beginning of a chapter which leaves you without the possibility to look up where he drew his conclusions from).
The existence of so-called megatsunamis is hardly scientifically proven, especially not by the work of Bryant (he classified sedimentary features embedded in sandstone somewhere in Australia as relics of an ancient megatsunami when in a nearby graveyard the same sandstone wouldn't resist local climate and erosion for more than a few centuries).
After working some time in the field of megatsunamis (my thesis concentrated on the Cumbre Vieja Scenario postulated by Ward&Day back in 2001 (http://www.es.ucsc.edu/~ward/papers/La_Palma_grl. pdf) and, based on scientific grounds, I had to "debunk" it as several researchers have done before me), I have learned to take these reports with a grain (or better, a big portion) of salt.
As someone who is currently writing his thesis in a reinsurance company (I'm a geography major), I can tell you that these companies hire a lot of mathematicians...

Why aren't both networks physically completely seperated from each other?

The propagation of tsunamis with huge waveheights seems to be limited due to dispersion effects and the so-called "Van-Dorn-Effect" should cause these huge waves to break as soon as they reach the continental shelf (http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2005/2004GL0219
