So one sector (let's say 4kb) in 12 trillion bits is bad, so you're saying your RAID controller is so pathetic that it cas not continue?!?!?!
WTF?!?!?!?

TAPE?!?!?
Try backing up to eSATA drives.
Basically, this moron has no clue of how to actually use a PC.
Also, I used to drive to a place in Mansfield, TX called "American Bearing" - they were a machine shop that specialized in that kind of stuff. Don't call them, as they are a local (non-mail-order) business, but I'm sure there's an equivalent in your town. There's always an old state highway that runs through a part of town where every other business is a welding or tower fabrication place, and the rest are strip clubs. There's sure to be a bearing place there somewhere.
I ordered a pair of 1.5TB (1361GB) Barracudas from New Egg on the night of the VP debate. $189 each with free S/H was cheaper per TB than the 1TB drives I had planned to buy.
They work well for library storage on my aging Pentium D (GA-P65-DS3R, XP x64, 8GB RAM) machine.
The real goal of all this nonsense is not to compensate the artists, but to guarantee the MAFIAA's continued monopoly over Intellectual Property in the USA, to the detriment of authors, inventors, artists, fans, and industry.
I teach at a local community college. I teach 4 classes a year, (2) 16 week classes, and (2) 11 week classes. That's about 65 nights a year, spending 6 hours at a time on campus.
I get $35-$40 per hour, so that's $200 a night for 6 hours. 3 hours teaching, 3 hours in the computer lab.
All the classes I teach are the same basic course: intro-to-computers, welcome-to-college, here's-how-you-type-a-term-paper-in-word-and-take-an-online-class.
There was a space flight simulator for the 2600 that resembled Battlestar Galactica, except that you could turn on your shields that tinted the screen blue.
Given the slander of every Linux user and FOSS contributor by SCO's employees, let's get started with 10 million small claims suits for libel and slander.
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act says that in the USA, while engaging in interstate commerce, that it is illegal to use a monopoly in one area to force a monopoly in another area.
For example, it is illegal to use a monopoly on rail roads to force a monopoly in oil.
Given that Microsoft has a monopoly in commercial desktop operating systems that can be installed on generic (non-Apple) hardware, what monopoly are they creating by forcing people to move from PX to Vista? Is there utility software that ran on XP that Microsoft includes with Vista? If so, they are in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
I've paid for too many games that don't work, from the 1980's to the present:
"World War 2" never showed it's animations correctly
"The Global Dillema: Guns or Butter" showed color screen shots on the box, but was ONLY black & whit
Accolade's Test Drive 2: The Duel (which never worked due to copy protection)
Sierra Online's Heros' Quest 1 (which always crashed when you threw the ball to knock over the pot of magma to win)
Sierra Online's Homeworld (which never worked past a certain point due to copy protection.)
I've seen the same thing in more serious software products, such as Wolfram's Mathematica that refused to work due to my needing to call in to get it activated, but the activation line was always closed,
Microsoft's Photo Draw 2000, which refused to work once I scratched a CD,
Microsoft Windows XP refuses to install due to an error in the copy protection, but Microsoft's support refuses to give me a correct CD key
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
I've been screwed so many times that I refuse to pay for software.

Fido is a good puppy and a pit bull terrier known as a "Rat Thing" by others. He's a biologically-brained robotic guard dog that does bad things to bad people, as he should.
What you are seeing is the "Not in my backyard" effect.
Congress does have the power to regulate interstate commerce. I've pushed for a bill to ban all flows of materials, products, and energy from states with less restrictive regulations to those with more restrictive regulations.
The idea is this: build a wall around the NIMBYs, cut off the food, water, and electricity. Let the suddenly decide to survive by building power plants, or die of their own stupidity. We can burn their bodies after the fact.

Ummm I think he is an Aussie. Although I admit we Aussies make our outragous territorial claims in the hope that the yanks will defend it for us.
There was a day when we yanks would have moved in and claimed as much Arctic oil and gas as we could, especially if gasoline was 4x it's usual cost here.
Today, our damned politicians will not even drill in our own country. There was a meeting of Fort Worth's city government to stop drilling oil and gas wells there.... Yesterday!
If anyone can come up with a better explanation I'd be interested to hear it.
Some benchmarks are designed to run one version optimized for an Intel chip on the Intel chip, and another version optimized for an AMD chip on AMD chips. This is legitimate, but only if you have correctly optimized code for each and every chip.
Let's assume that the code optimized for an AMD Athalon is less efficient on the new AMD chip than the code optimized for a Core 2 Duo.
Or, Intel could have paid Tony Soprano for a "favor."

Option 1: Live with it.
Option 2: Find out from someone who paid them what address the company is at - get it from a credit card dispute. Then, walk in and kill them.

The moral of this story is that you can nto get a fiar trial without $107,000.00.
So, if you have less %107,000.00 but more than $500.00, then buy a gun and get even.
If you have less than $500.00, let them sue you as it won't matter anyway.
