Unlike most posters here, I have actually been a Reactor Operator, albeit many years ago. Yes, you want any questionable signal from primary systems to initiate a scram. But I question why any primary system was connected to or using data from such a questionable source. In my experience, all such sources were hard cards - no software involved. Obviously "modern" plants have become too modern for my tastes.
For those who wonder what a scram is - it's from the early early tests where the rods were actually pulled by a human tugging a rope attached to a pulley. Once pulled, the rope was tied off, and he stood buy with an axe. If the pooh hit the rotating blades, he chopped the rope. Super-Critical Reactor Axe Man = SCRAM.
I would have to go even farther. Our cars are our property. I don't recall anything in the constitution regarding needing any government's approval to use my own property, and in my opinion, the State has no authority to demand license plates, registration (property taxes by another name) or any of that hoopla. Telling me I cannot drive is Unlawful Taking, and is forbidden in the Constitution. The most they can do is require that I be over 18 (i.e. a citizen). Once I reach 18 and am a citizen in my own right, the State has no authority over my property.
Call me an anarchist, but that is how I interpret the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the supporting documents (letters and notes, etc.) written by the framers. And yes, I actually read them. I wish more people did.
Evolution has something very close to this. Also, my understanding is that Evolution versions > 2.14 will integrate with Google Calendar. Offhand I have not done the required setup to make the "Availability" feature work with other google calendar users, but I think the Evolution guys may have. (I run 2.8, haven't upgraded yet to 2.14, so I can't know for sure). I think its worth looking into.
Maxtor makes a set of these drives called "Shared" (try www.maxtor.com/shared). I bought a 300G one for the church a while ago, and it works well. It's actually Linux, using Samba to manage various shares, and comes with a Winblows auto-backup utility for the clients on the network.
