Each shelf will hold 16 square feet of stuff for a total of about 240 square feet of storage. We imagine that this will be storage for user projects in large plastic bins, and storage for machinery. These shelves should make organization downstairs much better. Currently the shelves are not fully supported, so don't use them until we give the ok.

Unless it's a multi-hundred-dollar card, the "hardware raid" is really just software raid, but with a crappier driver (aka "fakeraid"). 2. CPU speed has advanced so much these days, that you don't really gain much by having a specialized processor to handle the calculations. If the system isn't maxing out the CPU doing other stuff, it's pretty much a wash 3. Often times raid cards store data with some proprietary format, so if the card dies, you can't replace it with a different one, you might need an identical raid card.

If the raid dies & you need to do forensics, the tools are *much* better for software raid.

For new people, as always, the starting point to learning python is here: http://learnpythonthehardway.org And specifically for Peter, here is where you should start learning Pyglet, http://www.pyglet.org/doc/programming_guide/writing_a_pyglet_application.html And if you somehow manage to perfect your Python programming and your mastery of the Pyglet engine, I'd recommend you move on to actionscript and flixel, a flash-based game engine http://flixel.org/index.html Or, if you really want to bring out the big guns, this http://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php/Starting_Panda3D Which is a hefty full-blown 3d engine that's been used in some commercial products.

Sorry I missed this thread earlier. Android phones running 2.2 and later can share their internet connections over Wifi without needing to root the device. (Ostensibly they can also do it over USB, but I've never seen that work with my Macs.) The network can be protected using WPA2, which is not impervious to eavesdroppers -- as always, encrypt sensitive traffic. Carrier-subsidized phones typically use modified firmware that extracts more money. Tethering is often the first thing they disable. Verizon Android phones go so far as to excise all Bluetooth RFCOMM support, which could theoretically be used to *implement* tethering. The Nexus phones provide Android without carrier-specific intrusions, like no tethering, or certain paid apps you can't uninstall. They're also very easy to root. They're the phones I recommend to geeks. However, because the carriers don't have as much power to control what the phone can do, they often won't subsidize a Nexus phone, so you pay full price. Finally, even with a Nexus phone, your carrier may require you to pay more money to use tethering. If they notice you tethering without paying the tithe, they can slap on ridiculous data overage charges. You have been warned. -- Cliff L.
