To show my folks how good their middle of the line $300 Fuji 5200 camera was I set it on the roof of my car and did a high resolution.5 second exposure of Jupiter. Then I took the cam inside, loaded the pic on the pc, and zoomed it in to show them the moons of Jupiter and some of the cloud colors on Jupiter itself.
And you could just add a false layer to the encryption. So the keys the govt have decrypt the data into something that's recognizable and looks real, but is just a facade for another still encrypted layer.
Free NAS
Wireless, secure, open source, multi platform, easy to configure, etc etc etc. For free!
I've used it. Compared to the LaCie network devices (not the USB LaCies, they're great) it is FASTER! But a dedicated Linux box you config yourself and with a tuned IP stack is quicker. However, for the effort of downloading a teensy ISO, burning a CD, and spending 5 minutes to install and config, this solution is really astounding.

Here's a pretty OS-nonspecific example of cross-platform storage implementation. Some of it is about backups and may seem off-topic but is valuable as an example of how much you can mix platforms and OS to get what you need in network storage solutions.
We protect 3 Terabytes per night from 250 remote servers with a backup strategy using RSYNC. These include both Windows and Netware servers. Our centralized backup file server is a single Dell PowerEdge 2850 with dual Xeon CPUs which runs OpenSuse 10 and has a combination of both Dell Powervault RAID SCSI enclosures and LaCie Big Disk USB External drives attached. Using a fast server with an OS that we can tune gives us incredible multistream-capable throughput for network storage. Think about the speed required folks, 3 Terabytes in 12 hours from 250 hosts at 75 sites. (Well RSYNC means we don't send all the data, but still!;-0 )
Then, each day, we back up the Linux box using a Windows server installed on a Dell Optiplex workstation box with a tape jukebox attached and running CA ArcServe. That way we get a daily snapshot to tape allowing us to do a scheduled rotation.
This means we are following the Golden Rule of Backups, which applies no matter how much data you back up, which is this: Always have 2 separate backup copies of important data. And it's better if they are different types of media. And with SANS and NAS solutions redundancy is critical. These acronyms should be called AIOB which stands for 'All In One Basket'
RSYNC has done what no commercial software seemed to be able to do: give us a good working backup system for our enterprise. It uses very efficient synchronization and compression algorithms to move the changes from our distributed servers. If you want this rig to do backups too I recommend considering it. Here's a link to the RSYNC Project:
The NASBackup Project is a neat Open Source effort to make a gui-based RSYNC client for Windows. It works very well.
More info: RSYNC uses an algorithm that only sends the changes in the file systems. This algorithm is so efficient that i can even get down to only sending the changed blocks in an individual file without having to send the whole file. It works very well for us even over DSL/Cable speed connections. You want to optimize your entire I/O schema including all network layers as well as the way you read, write, and cache file and database operations on all connected hosts.
after the cattle done run off, but, given Apple's latest ad campaigns, I think it's smart to publicize closing the kernel off to ongoing inspection by those searching for security holes.
I manage 2 Domino servers that back-end our school district HR system. There's a well-entrenched user base for this app in the school district market. Anything that helps us get stuff in and out cleanly is a huge leap forward. PDF generation and compatibility has been a bear for our technically challenged, but good at their HR specialties, HR dept staff.
Averatec and other manufacturers aside, When you see a white notebook, you assume it's a Mac. Apple is giving you a $150+ subsidy for advertising that you're using their product when you go with white versus the color used by almost every other maker.

You're right that implementation of Internet2 has been limited, and practical examples of use are hard to find.
But we use it for a Shared Learning Project between our school district, Richland One in Columbia, SC, and several school systems in Russia. It really is good stuff allowing amazing simultaneous throughput of info and video.
Any improvement or extension of Internet2's availability would benefit many.
The only way to function with Aspergers is to consciouly learn to read expressions.
It is a power tool if you choose to use it that way. But it is the dark side because it keeps you from having real interaction and backfires completely when you tire.
And it is a hell of a lot of work.
Aspergers sucks
I also have Aspergers, and one of the most painful things about it is that people can't believe it's possible to miss simple and seemingly impossibly obvious clues.
It's sad that folks don't know enough, yet still comment, to believe that something this simple would be a huge help.

Is an Idle Grid the Devil's Workshop?

Have the algorithm try to come up with how any app that needs the Grid to power it is only worth $50K?

I agree with you, what I meant was it's good news for Google, not for the S&P, since it gives Google a stamp of solidity.
Dude, Google sneezes and Wall Street catches a cold. AC of course.
