Light/Matter conversion

I wonder how much faster we could do this research if we got rid of all religion and wars and stopped blowing the shit out of each other at 2-4% of our total GDP

I guess there is always hope that humans will actually evolve.....but probably not in my lifetime.

When you look at how much potential there is in the light/matter conversion (unlimited energy for one) it makes you realize we aren't much more evolved than stick wielding cavemen.

Hdev cameras live from the ISS

Please someone tell me again why we don't have people living in space and leaving the earth behind to explore other solar systems right now.....?

My father came back with a link that's even cooler... this one shows a downward camera view AND the location of where the ISS is on a map - http://www.n2yo.com/space-station/ very cool being able to match up the view with the location.

4k set-tops

anyone know when Time Warner is planning on rolling out 4k? I'm continually surprised there isn't more demand for higher quality images and the amount of "low def" content still on cable.

microsoft sbs 2008 backup hell ??? swapping out multiple disks causes problems

You are supposed to be able to use multiple disks to backup sbs 2008 (eg take one offsite for redundancy issues)

Inmysistuation I'm backing up to 2 different external disks (2tb disks in removable cases into a esata slide in docking station) and then swapping them out weekly.

Week 1 backs up perfectly to bk-1
Week 2 backs up perfectly to bk-2
Week 3 I swap back in disk bk-1 only to be told that both disks are offline and the only way I've been able to get them back online is reformat both disks and start again.......frustration city.


NONE of the documentation on the MS site give any indication other than yeh sure you can swap disks in and out but you cant actually see any details on HOW to do it.
