The New York Times reports that about 10 percent of electricity generated in the United States, comes from fuel from dismantled nuclear bombs, mostly Russian. 'It's a great, easy source' of fuel, said Marina V. Alekseyenkova, an analyst at Renaissance Bank and an expert in the Russian nuclear industry that has profited from the arrangement since the end of the cold war. But if more diluted weapons-grade uranium isn't secured soon, the pipeline could run dry, with ramifications for consumers, as well as some American utilities and their Russian suppliers.'

Verizon will kick off tests of its LTE network in Seattle and Boston later this year.
"We plan to conduct LTE trials in Seattle and in Boston later this year," chief financial officer John Killian said during the company's earnings call. "We're working on a commercial launch of LTE service in up to 30 markets next year."
Verizon wants to ultimately cover 100 million points of presence (POPs), or Internet access points, with its LTE network, Killian said. "In 2011 and 2012, we'll continue to expand significantly with the ultimate goal being to cover all our POPs with this great product by the end of 2013."
LTE is Verizon's next-generation, "4G" network, which will supplement and eventually replace its existing CDMA network and provide average data speeds between 8-12 Mbps.

I have been ripping all my movies and TV shows for easy viewing through a media PC. Because I would rather not rip everything again I'm looking for a simple backup solution. I'm considering a hard drive dock and several internal hard drives to use as "disks" to back things up every once in a while but I don't know what the best way to store internal drives would be in the meantime. Could they sit together in any empty box an be OK or would a number of externals be worth the slightly higher cost with fewer worries about storing them in the meantime?
