My point here is that simple sunlight or heat from... say your household heater is more energetic than a typical handheld radio? You don't seem to grasp the fact that light (including radiated heat) and radio is the same damn thing, except the radio is less energetic!
yea. The ultraviolet component. You know what ultraviolet is right? It's the electromagnetic band adjacent to the visible light band - specifically the higher frequency edge. Which just happens to be the lower limit for being harmful it seems!
Meaning, again, that radio waves are on the wrong side of the spectrum.
They quite simply do not have the energy to knock electrons loose, which is exactly what is required to cause the problems you mention. You realize infrared and visual light have more energy than radio?
The only thing they can do is be absorbed and converted to thermal energy... and to reach a hazardous level you'd needs quite a few watts of power, and the only thing you'll get for it is a skin-deep burn no different than any other burn.
I think you've failed to take duty cycle into account. Such a radio wouldn't be active nearly as often as a typical cellphone (there's no tower to check into every couple of seconds etc)
You do know there's a large difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation right? This stuff is on the wrong side of the spectrum to be causing you such problems.
The absolute worst you might get is some heat from absorption.
At this size, likely there will be space between disks with heat exchanging protrusions. Stacked in banks, a couple of pumps near the bottom to ensure movement...
Convection would do the majority of the work, and you wouldn't really have piping so much as a "pool" the disk enclosures stick into.
MTBF doesn't seem to work all that well for drives. If they are going to fail on their own, they tend to do so quickly. Else, left alone, they work FOR YEARS.
Of course, all of that goes out the window when someone does something silly like knock the rack over.
Congratulations, you've been nominated for this year's Most Useless Comment Award! We take great pleasure in awarding the MUCA, but in order to claim it you'll need to reply without your AC cloak.
AFAIK it needs much less to maintain once it's started. So you just have to power the disks up in a 'wave' and ensure your peak power demand is below what you can supply.
Keeping some (large) capacitor banks charged can help with this as well. Put the cap banks in series with the power supply (being safe about it of course) and the caps should be able to provide for any peak shortfalls.
I expect that to happen, but those other things you mention are exactly what I was alluding to. I was trying to avoid outright saying it out of consideration for those who haven't played.

Most who do things like the submission tend to just give themselves the materials if they don't outright use something like WorldEdit to do the work.

Seems to be working, which is both depressing and scary.
The police just learned an important lesson: Don't charge lawyers with the stupid rules you use to get away with shit.

WTF is a grifer?
I cannot stand cell cameras. Like you said, tiny lens. Fixed focus too.
WAA WE HAVE A 3MP LENS!
Great! Now I can capture all the noise and blur in finer detail!
Yea? You'd think he could have afforded to at least rent a fucking camera. It's not that expensive.
You should yell at Amazon too, since the kindle .jar files are laid out the same way.
it's a typical way to make things "interesting" for someone being nosy with something like this.
Erm, unless you are designing and manufacturing those drives, you have no say. "They" in my post referred to the disk manufacturers.
Datacenter. 100s to 1000s.
You're told that... by an AI who's a moron by design and an AI who loves to lie and manipulate...
Don't forget that pure water is also quite corrosive, and it doesn't take too many impurities for it to start not being pure anymore.

To be honest, I'd rather they focus more on reliability and durability than speed and capacity...
... brings a whole new meaning to "click of death"
State-tracking hardware would use resources (RAM specifically) accounting for those idle connections.
I expect that to happen, but those other things you mention are exactly what I was alluding to. I was trying to avoid outright saying it out of consideration for those who haven't played.
