Sure, but how many systems are sold with them? Not many. How many people buy motherboards with 64-bit 66MHz PCI buses? Not many. Even if they were, the drive cannot physically spit out that much data anyway. Check out http://www.maxtor.com/en/documentation/data_sheets/diamondmax_D740X_datasheet.pdf and look at the data transfer speed. Notice now sustained transfers are pretty low! Now check out http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/ente rprise/family/0,1086,345,00.html. Look at the internet formatted transfer rates...nothing above 50MB/sec there.
All data goes through the PCI bus...and it's bandwidth is only 133MB/sec theoretical. So, what does 400/800/anything else greater than about 100MB/sec in a media interface get you? Not much!
Ever read the actual throughput specs on a drive? The media throughput is not much more than 40MB/sec!!! Read the data sheets, people!
Add this all up and what do you get? Ripped off is about it!
If this is true then filling in to solve for E=mc2, the mass of the universe must be increasing since theoretically the energy level stays constant (or does it?). So, not only do we get slower, but we also get fatter as we get older...
Now, if you were able to induce change using quantum entanglement with stopped light in these crystals, couldn't you theoretically make an instantaneous communications system that transmits data via encoding using the changes in spin? (and has no connection as we know it between them, wired or RF)
Having lived in Japan for three years, I know this list is DRASTICALLY understated. There were things out in Japan before I arrived there which STILL are not available in the States. Take a vacation there sometime, I think you'll be very surprised....
Is it just me, or does it seem really odd that no other communications company or research organization could use these satellites and that they want to destroy them..?

From the website:
"This release requires Windows 2000 or XP with Outlook or Outlook Express."
OS's are irrelevant, eh?
Eh, that nothing abot 50 should have been 80. Doh.

Don't leave a weak link...

Just have a Windows box when they come out to install, and then switch to Linux...that's what
I did with BellAtlantic......
