The Internet service itself from the ISP is already taxed and other surplus fees. Wouldn't this be a double tax to use something you already paid tax on? This is a dangerous slop I would think. What is next changing an extra tax because you want to use the electricity to charge your car? Oh you want to use that water to bake bread with, yea there is a tax for that too...

I had the house run with a star config, multiple drops in each room, and multiple runs for both rg6 and cat6 to the utilities all back to my central server area. I have a DWR-24-17PD http://www.middleatlantic.com/enclosure/wall/dwr.htm mounted to the studs. Plenty of room in the rack, it swings out and I'm able to access the back. I've been running this config since 2006. I had custom enclosures made for my machines, as the rack can realistically only hold things about 13" deep, but the folks at www.protocase.com made the process of getting custom cases easy.

Here are somethings you really should think about:
Add more drops then you think you will need before the drywall goes up, trust me a few years down the road you will wish you had more.
If you ever plan on getting satellite remember that you need far more runs of rg6 then you would think.
Also think about multiplexing OTA from the attic and the output from a media server from your rack.
Have your builder install a HVAC supply and return in the room that will house the rack.
Most importantly install sound proofing in all the walls around the rack, consider even adding a muffle on the bottom of the door.
Plan to replace fans with quieter ones, and harddrives with quite or silent ones.
Get a good UPS for the server room.
Get a good firewall to cover the entire house and allows you to place a machine or two in the DMZ.
Use separation on the switch to keep the wifi/LAN/DMZ separate
Have all the cables simply terminate at a patch panel, trust me this will save you a headache when you need to reorganize something. Also do not let the builder install any of their usual splitters, say for phone distribution, as they tend to degrade the signals and if you run it to the patch panel you can map the rg6 and cat6 drops as needed, and split things with higher end equipment. The builder will likely add a surcharge for everything they do. So stick to just have them run the cables, sound proofing BEFORE the drywall goes up, and framing it proper for the rack if you want to attach it to the wall.

My builder used a structured wire panel insert in the wall which makes sound proofing that portion nearly impossible.

I found that my builder was unfamiliar with networking and I had to redo several of the drops that did not test right. So you might be better off not having them connect it up and getting your own patch panel that handles multiple types of cables.

Yes, that is in my opinion why SGU and Caprica lost viewership too, inconsistent air times Just as one was getting back in the story, they take a break and the thrill of a *series* is out the window. If they would just show the entire season back to back every week and only have long breaks between seasons I think the shows could have kept/gained viewers. Even W13 and Eureka are hard to follow with all the breaks and they don't have as many story arcs.

They already have the ability to pump down to that depth, since they were pumping dispersant directly into to the stream at one point. Dissolving gasses in pressure is actually very simple, the act of the gas moving through a column of liquid will dissolve the gas. Yes, it is harder to dissolve a gas into a liquid when the liquid is under pressure already, but at the colder temps a mile down oxygen is actually more soluble then at the surface. I dissolve gas into a liquid, granted the gas I use is CO2 which is many orders more soluble, and my liquid is beer not sea water but the method is the same. You stick a pipe down to the bottom of the column you want to gasify and turn on the pressurized gas flow. The weight of the water in the sea is enough to force the air into solution.

If you are commenting on the approximate 2200 psi needed to pump down to that depth, my little pressure washer at home can do that.

I never claimed to be a environmental engineer, I'm a computer engineer, and was asking a question.

The bacteria need small bits of oil and lot of oxygen to eat the oil why not in addition to breaking up the oil pump oxygen from the surface down to the depleted areas. Sure it will end up with mass amounts of CO2 in the water but then also make that area ripe for an algae/plankton bloom and then things would start to get better. That is help the other parts of the natural cycle. Maybe add in some bicarb to help keep the ph where it should be. Sure throwing chemicals into the water is bad, be we have already done that, now we need to add others to counteract the effects and neutralize things back to the state they were in before the spill.

Give the microbes the oxygen they need to feed on the oil, and then give the other algae/plankton what they need to eat the microbes and make more oxygen. Speed up what would naturally happen over the next 30+ years without human intervention. The planet is fairly good at correcting things on it own just not in time scale we can see, or if part of the correction lower the habitability for humans we may not see it, but the earth will eventually recover to its normal ebb and flow.

It is like helping an old lady across the street. Sure she could do it on her own but with some boy/girl scouts there they can help her across faster and safer.
