At least they didn't use cells from a cockroach, you would not be able to kill it.

you do that for other content that is less controversial.

Really, it takes a lot of energy to locate and process oil and gas. Make that more efficient, and guess what. you save energy and avoid emissions.

i think i was about 12.... and that was in 1978!

the power in my area is reasonably reliable. and yes i am on the same sub station as a hospital. but the times the power has gone out. is mainly to 2 events. 1: drunk drivers for some reason are attracted to telephone/ power poles and of course other things that should not be hit with a car... 2: animals... a squirrel or raccoon get into the electrical equipment and tries to have a lunch. i remember seeing one lighting up the sky for miles as 100,000 volts went through him.

i tried the HD swap, the problem was the sata connector didnt hold up after about a year. i'm using LTO3 at home and 5 at work. maybe why the lto media sales are down is everyone has filled their libraries with tapes (when they had the budget to) and the failure rate on lto is low. i think D2D is still a good way to backup, especially for disaster recovery. assuming you do it right, offsite multiple copies, etc. tape for archival purposes still makes sense, unless you want to open the argument about using cd/dvd/blue ray for archiving...

the under monitor power strips. I'm still using 2... i don't know why they are so hard to find. and now with usb and other external connected devices, i would like to get one with a usb hub built-in, slots for media cards and other things...
