This isn't new or the first use of compressed air as a storage solution. They've been looking to build one in Ohio forever it seems.

How can some of the same folks that are all about sharing music files or having the right to rip DVD's for 'safekeeping' (remember Napster and the like) have a problem with sharing a name? Geez.
Has anyone here responding with 'obey the laws' comments actually had to deal with these cameras on a daily basis? They are about the most rigged game of chance around. While 'normal' lights have a very predictable flow to their sequence, red light cameras have unusually short yellows and always seem to catch traffic that is just beginning to flow. This forces a fun decision of slam on the brakes, hope like hell the light is still yellow as you pass through, or just drive uncommonly slow as you approach these cameras. The third option only applies after you know where the camera is though.... The particual city being sued also has a mobile speed camera van that is parked in various places around the city to pass out speeding tickets on random roads, don't worry take a drive through the town and see if you get a present in the mail a few weeks later -- does that sound like fun to anyone?
17. KDND-107.9 THE END radio, its agencies, affiliates, sponsors, or representatives absolve themselves of any liability, financial or otherwise, resultant of any "on" or "off" air contest staged by KDND-107.9 THE END.

See, line 17 of the waiver clearly states that its a-okay for the station to kill you, but they certainly aern't responsible. Uh, yea. Waivers really mean squat in court.
I don't know 'for certain' that this is what occurs, but i've heard that retailers will sell merchandise they don't yet have on eBay and then ship it when they do... could be days, could be weeks, either way they are using your money to make money, nice, huh?
If it lasts 3 years, i'd take it in a second;)
Is there an actual 'problem' to go with this 'solution'? i.e. are there marauding thugs all over the UK or what?
does anyone actually care about this stuff?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
