How can Siemens be the worst when we have to actually see one in service (except for the test R143) and the R160s will be the first?No R160 will be built by Siemens. They will be built by Kawasaki and Alsthom. The R143 was built by Kawasaki only. A portion of the R160 cars will use a Siemens propulsion package. Siemens has nothing to do with the new subway cars other than providing components. |

I've been to some WMATA stations before and they are DEEP. I can't imagine what a direct escalator ride from this new level to the street would be like. |

Siemens has never ever built a FRA compliant car in USA or a Heavy rail car, so the chances of them getting M-8 contract are slim to non.Kawasaki is contender but just about everything in specs reads must be same as M-7, must be compatible with M-7 , must look like M-7 etc so my bet is that its 99.9 % sure Bombardier gets the contract |

Unfortunately, due to technical issues @ home (damn hard drive failing after only a YEAR), and with this stupid @$$ proxy server my company uses here, I can't view anything related to "travel", including anything on the MTA website. |

"It'll probably be akin to the PATH station at the ex-WTC site, with multiple mezzanines before reaching track level deux."Very likely. Very long escalators are possible, but owing to the slope the top level is then a long way (horizontally) from the bottom level. While this can be useful, it probably isn't helpful when you put in a new facility vertically beneath an existing one. With several shorter ones, they go down in zig-zag fashion. Very long escalators can be alarming to timorous users, too. of course, the Soviet Union didn't worry about that sort of thing, so there are very long escalators on the Moscw and St Petersburg metros. These are very deep - rumouredly so that the stations could double up as nuclear shelters if necessary. The longest one in London is at Holborn station, I believe. |

No, the Moscow subway was built before nuclear weapons. But they were designed to serve as bomb shelters. People may not survice a nuclear blast down there, but they ought to survive conventional bombing, assuming that they will be able to get out somewhere. |

They are cheap. Get one that is less than $0.25 per GB. Yeah, it stinks that many hard drives only have a 1 year warranty now. |

I'm bringing the new one I bought (wasn't detected or was detected as "BAD" by the SATA controller on my motherboard) back to the store, then on Sunday, bringing my whole system in to the store where I bought my mobo and CPU chip to see if they can diagnose any problems with the mobo (in case it wasn't just the HD that went...) or Power Supply. |

The technician put it into another computer, and it recognized the drive. The fault now either lies in the settings, something on the motherboard having gone bad, or the power supply not supplying it power. |

"I actually have an 80GB SATA Maxtor that went bad in less than a year."I have had several Maxtor SATAs that failed within a year. They replaced those. Mine were 120s, but they were a mirrored pair on a machine that ran constantly. Now I am using Seagate 160GBs in a RAID-5 array with automatic dfs shut off. ROAR |

This is a Seagate Barracuda 300GB SATA, replacing a Samsung (bad bad BAD choice...) 300GB IDE drive. I'm still too new to the whole SATA and RAID scene. |

That doesn't make any sense, since you would already know what it's like. The new LIRR station will be 155 feet below the street. Wheaton station on WMATA has a 230 ft (vertical height) escalator. So Wheaton's escalator is longer than ESA's would be. |
