    Please remember that 802.11b/g operates @/near the resonant frequency of water, sugar and fat molecules. We are made of those things.

    In a properly designed data center, the computer are on UPS, and the HVAC is backed up with an emergency generator. Sure, they HVAC will go down for a short while, but once the generator has started, the load it trasferred via an ATS to the genset. Sometimes only half of the HVAC units are on emergency power to provide minimal cooling.

    HVAC typically = Liebert precision air conditioning, complete with humidification/de-humidification.

    Actually, the way a dry pipe, or more commonly called "Pre-action" works, the pipes are pressurized with air.

    The pressure is monitored with a fire alarm panel along with smoke/heat/fire detectors. Even if a sprinkler head melts, there usually has to be a second detection method in alarm to fill the pipes with water.

    Other dection methods include standard smoke and heat detectors, "fire print" detectors that can analyze the characteristics of a flame, and active air sampling piped detection systems that use a laser beam and particle discriminators (much quicker than passive smoke detectors).

    Liebert makes racks cooled with water already. The XDWR and XDWP lines. I saw them at an Emerson Network Power expo in Ohio last year.

    Halon was phased out primarilary because it was ozone depleting and became VERY expensive to refill upon release. FM-200 and Intergen are available still.

    I shared symptoms like your in college. I attributed it to depression and massive alcohol consumption.

    Do you have anything to look forward to during the day? I find I still have a hard time during the week since I hate work, but the weekends I can be up quite early, ready to greet the day, and do what I want to do, not what I have to do.

    Also, getting up early has gotten MUCH easier now that I have gotten a little older (32).

    I remember you would purchase a product at a highly inflated price and the send in a rebate for the entire amount.

    Quick thought...

    I have a Audiocontrol 2XS crossover in my truck that has infrasonic (below 20Hz) high pass filtering in it. That might be what you are looking for. Possibly pick one up cheap on e-bay. It is 12 volts, though.

    I don't know how well it would work with a ceramic cartridge (as opposed to a magnetic with higher output). Turntable=>Phono preamp=> reciever?

    I could not agree more. Being a former TWICE magazine reader (This Week in Consumer Electronics), all I read about was "revenue streams" and "subcription services" in the same sentance.

    More and more companies (inlcudng the RI/MPAA, it seems) are looking for subcription based revenue streams. Unfortunately, I can only afford so many of those streams. In my case, I forgo a cell phone so I can have a high speed cable internet connection. When COX internet sent me a survey about my cable modem service, I flat out told them the I expect the price to decrease, not increase.

    During the Napster heyday, there used to be a website that allowed you to do just that. Send them money, and they would send it to the artist directly. All I can remember is that Metallica garnered 3 dollars, and the band DID cash the check.
