Spam isn't a free speech issue. No one's trying to stop spammers from standing in their front yards and shouting their message, or sending their message to the letters column of their local newspapers, or setting up a website. We're trying to stop them from shoving their messages down our collective throat and interfering other aspects of our lives. Frankly, I'd like to see anti-spam efforts expanded to cover postal mail, too. I missed a relative's Bat Mitzvah earlier this month because the invitation got buried under all the junk mail I get.:-P
General Motors started their own college: GMI. It became a fairly well respected (at least in the circles I travel in) engineering & management school. It also gained independence from GM and eventually changed it's name to Kettering University.
Some standard aquarium pumps (like the Hydor 30 that I'm using) approach complete silence already. When I was leak-testing the system, with no fans running, no PC power supply running, the only way I could hear it at all was when I put my ear next to the pump. Also, if you bleed the system properly you shouldn't have any splashing or hiss in the reservoir.
Their pump may be a good solution for laptops, but that's an issue of size, not noise.

This is all very interesting information. Thanks for bringing it up!
On a related note, how does RAID 0+1 compare to RAID 5? I've got an old Mylex card that has both options (among others).

Being allowed to guarantee something isn't the same as actually guaranteeing it. I can't find the text of any guarantees on their website.
Also, that "Up to 200 years longevity" language doesn't imply a 200 yr. guarantee, IMO.
