Quadra cost me 25 bux.
if you want a macintosh solution it's awesome. has 3 massive drives, and has been running 2+ years with only 3 restarts. I serve 7 machines in my house.
Advocating the giving up of a right such as privacy to save a few dollars is a slippery slope that I am sure many big businesses are prepared to exploit to their advantage and definitely NOT yours. Who do you think is going to be shelling out the dollars for the box in the first place. You are going to be giving up rights for nothing in return, and once you advocate giving up one or some of your rights, you should lose your right to complain about their loss.
How about getting rid of cash? that would cut down on Illegal transactions like drug dealing.
How about national ID cards? Internal passports? That would cut down on terrorist movements.
Why not put radio chips in our arms (asses) to track everyone, or GPS locaters in our cars That definitely would cut down on illegal activities.
How far is too far to save a buck? Once you have given away a right, it is LOST FOREVER perhaps the only right the government has ever returned after removing it was the right to drink alcohol.
I drive a pre-1965 car without seatbelts, ride my motorcycle without a helmet and when I was 18 I could drink. I for one wish to retain my right to tell the government to F***-Off every once in a while.
A.---Could it be that antennaes are built in poorer secions of towns and cities, hence lower land values, and poorer living conditions?
B.--- Could it be that antennaes are built more often on mountains, hence higher radiation levels in general?
C.--- Could it be that un-used (un-plowed) land near antennaes (guide wires) attracts higher concentrations of settling contaminates?
D.--could it be that the use of tin foil hats doesn't block all those alien signals from Zeta Reticuli?
People seem to think that before cell phones and Wi Fi, somehow radio itself didn't exist. I have been a ham radio operator for over 30 years, and my grandfather for nearly 70 years. I have been shocked by RF, zorched by stray B+, curdled by un-grounded capacitors, and zapped by unseen third transformer wires. I have been inches from enough RF energy to zap a cell phone into a pile of slag. Besides for a bit of a twitch once in a while, I feel fine.
Perhaps a comparison of ham radio operators health who used high power HF in the 50s-and 60s (the era of big tubes) with the general public of the same era and age would serve as a better study than one go un-controlled as this one seems to be.
I love the fact that they don't have an historian at the PTO, and really don't seem to care too much about all this historical folderol.
Maybe if they did have someone to keep the history, and actually carred a little about how what they were doing could have a significant impact on society as a whole, a lot of the abuses in the past few years could have been avoided.

ConceptDraw is an Awesome piece of software that I have used for flow charts, cubicle diagrams and some huge charts that were 14 ft. x 6 ft. and had about 80,000 data points.
Many many years ago, I purchased a 52Mb External hard drive (my first) for $310. I was amazed at the freedom from floppies that it gave me and I was so enamoured with it that I told my wife that it was all the space I would ever possibly need, and that I would never need to buy another hard drive. (that's how I got the $310)
I still have the drive, and it is used daily... so are about 900 Gigs worth of it's brothers, but to this day any request for money for computer equipment is met with a quote like "yeah, right, just like that hard drive of yours" from the wife.
Since Civilization 4 is being written, I do sincerely hope that the end of civilization is reflected in roving bands of Patent Attorneys suing civilization to the bedrock. Also needing to be included are myopic patent examiners and clueless judges which you need to have built before you can build The Patent Attorney.
I knew that there would be a use for all the Y2K food I have tucked away in the bunker. Burn Baby Burn...... I got my tin foil hat on, and Ashcroft still has the threat level at orange. Burn Baby Burn...... My patent for devices using multiple electron energy levels is going to be granted. Burn Baby Burn...... Acacia taking lessons from Al Capone--Gee that's a real nice business you got there. It would really be too bad if something were to happen to it. Burn Baby Burn......

Never in the course of human history have so many made a good living off the ignorance and stupidity of others.
