because WASTE networks dont scale very well. these people are trying to create, in effect, one giant network where each node belonges to a (relatively) trusted incividual.
"...For example, a high-quality analog equalizer can be used to attenuate strong low-frequency fan hums and background noise..." taken from the article. you'd need background noise in the same frequency area (dummy CPU ?)
dunno who modded the parent down, but its actually on topic.... all that heat being dissipated by the liquid nitro there is coming out of the power socket..... hence the huge bill you'd get if you run this things for a couple of weeks (not to mention the transport costs for 20 galons of liquid nitrogen....)
i dont like writing long rants, so i'll be short. first of all, regarding your 1st statement, i only wish it were true. anti-semitism in europe has reached an alarming peak, and many jews (especially in france) are simply fleeing from there. and second, regarding the american aid to israel: this aid comes in the form of money israel can only spend on _american_ military products, so actually most of this money is used to keep a part of the american economy alive, and not to be used by Israel as it wants.
to answer your question with another, why do americans feel they have any right to live in the US ? were they there before 1492 ? and the australians ?
or maybe without US political pressure backed by US aid, Israel could finally let its army loose on the palestinians and end the conflict a lot faster ? (they dont buckle under european pressure anymore, the US is pretty much all thats left)
no, its just that there are a lot of scientists in the world, and since even the mediocre ones need something to do, things like these keep them busy and out of the real scientist's way
the cost of sending stuff from earth to the moon is prohibitive, but its a lot cheaper the other way (provided you manufacture the vehicle on the moon and never expect it back) so once you set up a (reasonably) self-sufficient mining operation on the moon you can send stuff back relatively cheap
or on the other hand they may simply be running out of space to store all the stuff they keep recording and would like to know what to keep and what to throw away

like a P2P equivalent of orkut.

that 'o' is a long way from the 'a' , at least on my keyboard.
you'd need to be epileptic to make that typo
i think the point he was making is that DOS boot disks (if it is indeed plain old DOS) cant read NTFS
why surely they'll have compact cold fusion by then no ? :)
well given that you can see earth's shadow on the moon, which is completely out of the atmosphere, i'd say its not very practical to consider this
but considering icarus' final fate, you have to wonder why they keep naming projects after him no ?
dedalus is a bit better
i was merely saying the aid wasnt as philantropic as some people made it out to be
