Story: Gates wants a server in every home
You can't switch a server off....
You can't switch a server off, and yet we're told that not even "stand-by" mode is good enough for our current electrical appliances. So looking forwards, how much electricity would a one terabyte disk server consume? Multiply that by the number of homes in the (e.g.) UK...
It might be different if I could think of an existing device that this disk server could replace, but Mr Gates is definitely advocating this in addition to people's existing PCs.
