and healthcare 'costs' will not be solved with more money....:-) lol you got to read more about health care costs basically the good ole USA is getting ripped off day after day.... you give more money and the health care industry will bleed you more.... money is not the solution... what I do when I feel like I am getting ripped off is go some place else and try and get back my money where I got ripped off... I suggest you do the same... I go to ***** **** once a year for more than the beaches.
.... my thoughts have always been the computer is a neuron.. so we designed our system (server farm) so that neurons are backed up and if one fails we simply restore it to a fresh server (fully automated -- simply follows the logic path we humans follow) we use DCH or Distributed Cheap Hardware -- aka we go to a local computer store/online and buy the biggest bang for buck stuff(linux only) we can find average server life time is about 2.5 years or about $10 a month --- our only missing part is an automatic purchasing system... and that is because our suppliers ordering systems vary so much... my 2 cents.... validation: our servers presently average about 60 connections per second and have went as high as 1400 connections per second (Nov 3rd 2004) - no it is not Google size but that is nor our goal.
Not really we deal with volumes this large on a regular basis, just need a cluster of boxes to start tearing through the data. Break it down to components store the interesting bits and chunk the rest. I spend way too much time importing/exporting databases and integrating applications. This project should only take a couple of weeks for 2 or 3 good programmars/sysadmins.

It is not rocket science it is just tedious.
just keep it simple ... don't have identities, ie there is nothing to steal (everyone pays cash) ... then we are back to muggers ... oh well ...
you rock dude - the first comment that I have read that has clue!
