?? how much waste is there really from a modern reactor, for decommissioning? could we shoot it at the sun? a closed main loop would prevent the need for very large amount of metal, of course the reactor would need to be, but what are you going to do with the solar panels afterwards?
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116046 24 ports, in a 8x slot... so there you go (the card is not cheep though) but you get 24 ports from your ATOM, since the card handles all the RAID calcs, it should be just fine.
Just get an atom board with a PCIE slot, and add a raid controller. Or for that mater get a VIA board with one, and save some electricity(or add a drive). http://www.willudesign.com/BlackDwarfTop.html for how little power one really needs for raid.
There are large capacity "green line" drives from some manufacturers, 5400 RPM, that might be perfectly enough.
Do they work in RAID? or do they randomly stop responding to the raid controller and then get dropped from the raid, triggering a rebuild, to show up a few minutes later, to trigger another one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLER
www.qnap.com/pro_detail_hardware.asp?p_id=127 and you get 4 drive slots, for 600, with a better feature set than the Drobo. Dual GbE nics, 2 esata ports, 26W active w/ 4 drives vs 56W with the drobo. Anyways, thought i'd point out that the drobo is quite a bit overpriced like you mention.
Traffic caps i would be fine with, if advertised clearly, I.E. Plain english, and was given a tool to monitor my bandwidth both from my own hardware end, and from the ISP end. What I do not want to see, we have reached an aggrement with Microsoft, traffic from BING will be 3x as fast as traffic from google. Same thing with vimeo/YouTube. Even worse when it's done for pay for sites that the ISP owns. ISP starts up a HULU competitor*, and throttles hulu to 25Kbps, give 100% of bandwidth available to ISP site. *competator in the sense that both are video sites, not that HULU would have been loosing traffic otherwise.
i doubt it was "halfassery" more, like a higher acceptance of damage/failure and a lower cost of life when sorting out what should be done. Also I would love to see a methane gas drilling location flared to strat a fire, i bet it makes a wonderful fireball.
I'm not so sure, do facebook, farmville, youtube, hulu, and flash games work? if so thats about enough for a "couch tablet" getting the price down around 200-300 may be the problem though, considering you can buy whole computers for that price, but they sit on a desk, and don't have batteries.
doesn't http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/ count? Also i'm fairly sure that it shouldn't be that hard to get the links out of the normal google search(but it's been a while since i looked at the HTML of the results. yep,
a href=foo class=1> name/a> (sry i had to mangle it a bit, but the idea should be clear)
The results are the only links to have a class of 1. so a simple matter of parsing it as XML should work.
they are not "memory issues" they are "features". I wish i was kidding, but both chrome and FF slowly take up more and more RAM and CPU time the longer they are open. It has to do with the whole saving your tab history so that you can "Reopen last closed tab". Most days i'd rather just use my history and be done with it.
Videos ripped straight off the DVD or Blu-Ray disc, byte for byte, then redistributed? Data not changed! Bam! Checksum . . . completely intact!
Good thing each disk has it's own checksum, and that it's linked to the UPC and requires ID to purchase (like Pseudoephedrine, or caned air). perhaps no cash purchases allowed either. That would let them know exactly how's disk made it to the internet.
Only reason I see to go Intel is the availability of mini-itx motherboards with PCI-E X16 slots. I have yet to find one for AM3. I found a AM2+ board, but it only has an 8X slot. boo.
I pay $19 (rounded up to whole dollar including tax) for 3 disks at a time, and unlimited streaming. minimum there are 3 days between receiving new disks, one day out, one day processing, one day back. so (30days/month)/3days/disk = (10 disks per month) * 3 disks at a time. So i can get 30 disks a month if i try hard. cost of a disk is then $0.64 (rounding up again), granted i don't get to keep the disk, and to keep the cost there i have overnight to watch it, and a 3 day lead time on a new title. Overall i would rate owning the disk at around 3-4 times the best case netflix, so $1.90 - $2.53(including tax). At ~$2.50 per disk thats a "at the checkout line impulse buy" put some microwave popcorn along with them and the sodas that exist and I wonder how well they would sell. Now as i don;t have a HD TV, I can't comment on the value add for that. My PS3 won't upscale a dvd, but it will upscale the ripped DVD(straight stream rip) so no real loss there. Depending on the qualiity of the upscale I could be convinced to pay double for the bluray version.
On a side note, why don't blurays have a normalized audio track so that I can watch an action movie with the kids asleep? (normalized in this case being the volume levels of quite dialog and explosions roughly the same, so i can hear people talk, and yet not wake the neighborhood up when something explodes.)
thats my big complaint, i wouldn't mind 30 second render times for slashdot, but the fact that i can't do anything else(like look for something else in google reader), really makes firefox feel really really slow.

Glad someone else saw that! looks like a nice build, i'd be doing a few things differently. Anyone know of a modular rail/backplane system?

like implement DRM?
It's not that the trees block the wind, but they don't really "remove" energy from the system. Wind power on a massive scale could.
decommisioning? why would you do that in less than 75-100 years on a nuclear plant?
So what's your bold quick cheep well built plan? ohh right "something"... damn hippies.
Shut down your testicles tomorrow and you'll still be fertile until the stored sperm in the epididymis is used up.
Thats the second part of the "service" a blond Scandinavian woman to ensure that the "stored sperm in the epididymis is used up"

who says he read those? maybe it was the one about the new virus and how to clean it up?
other Dogs, Bears, and Sharks may pose a problem though.

Does XCODE do pascal for the iPhone? no? oh well now you know why.
3) Web authors: start using HTML5 video standards and quit the stupid flash video player already!!!
You need to pay more attention, there is not standard video codec for the tags. As far as AJAX + SVG thats doable.
i doubt that up for much debate, they have more coverage, more consumer freedom and a better selection of phones. so GSM wins.
