excluding drives.. I wouldn't mind to build one by myself, it's something I've just recently looked into. The DAS enclosures I've looked in to (preferably 4+ drives w/ raid) all have terrible reviews

Just keep in mind. Your goal should not be getting someone punished. Your goal, if anything, should be getting the downvotes reversed (if they were truly serial downvoting), and the question ban lifted. Of which there are several methods.
Any punishment, etc., would not involve you at all.
The mods/team might let you know, if they want to.
SE owns the site. SE employees can in theory overrule a mod, but this is almost never done. mods are users like you, selected by fellow users in an election
I am really angry about what happened.... beacause it reminds me the communsim.... They could arrest you, kick you out from university, you could loose your job, they could kill you.... and nothing happened to them.... They didn't even go to jail after the fall of Communism
@OliverSalzburg: Oh, my brother does that. Naturally he's the engineer ;p

how many recent review audits have I failed? I get a message on my screen saying that I have failed too many of them and have been given a ban for that reason, yet I'm quite sure I've only failed one recently, i had a brief exchange with a moderator about this, but I'm unable to send them any further questions until they reply to my last message so I must ask here
@axrwkr Well, you're right, it won't make a difference. But I would assume other factors were taken into account when the system decided to ban you. I would assume the points mentioned in your correspondence with another moderator lately had something to do with it.

@OliverSalzburg the system did not decide to ban me, a person decided to ban me, at least that is what I have been told
@BenRichards what language accepts "Hi", "Mike", "I", "do", "if", and "let" as valid words, but not "not", "sorry", "However", "find", "someone", "I'll", "you", and "know"
@BenRichards expensive as all get-out, but fantastic learning experience, especially if you sign up for the yearly Total-e plan (it's all online/streamed, no software installs)
native Android smartphone/tablet version with all the features of the desktop edition, and I think the web version works on desktop Linux if you have a working Flash plugin
you have to make it a habit to keep after it, it's entirely self-directed, but with Total-E you can meet up every once in a while with other people and a teacher online on VoIP (the whole thing arranged by Rosetta Stone within their software) and practice
it's very different from learning a language in a classroom though; it teaches through total immersion rather than formal/abstract instruction
when you learn a language in a classroom, your teacher spends a lot of time talking about the language, in English, and discussing rules of grammar, etc., almost always in English until the very advanced classes
@allquixotic Some classrooms do that. I visited a charter school that I applied to (but didn't get in) when I was in highschool and that's how their spanish class was. The entire class they spoke in spanish.
yeah. it's entirely in the language you're learning, and you have to rely a lot on visual cues (they make them as obvious as they can)
people who are face blind or something would have a hard time with it, because the primary mode of instruction is showing you a panel with 4 pictures and asking you to either say what they're doing (usually filling in the blank in a sentence), or tap/click on the picture that represents what sentence/word was just said by the narrator, or listen to them speak then repeat it back
the pictures are varied enough that you can't just memorize which pictures go with which words
and they switch it up and randomize the order, too, and change little nuances like plural vs singular, and they really hammer home subtle variations in the language where students often think that it's the same word when it's actually different
also I think a "passing" grade is 90% for each module; if you don't get 90% it doesn't let you move on :P
the offline version is more expensive up-front, but if you are going to learn it very slowly/gradually over a number of years, it's probably a better value than paying a lot every year for the online experience
I think it'd be good enough to travel to a foreign country and be able to survive once you have completed all the course levels offered by Rosetta for a given language
although it would really be helpful if you can practice with native speakers first
@JourneymanGeek Google Voice on my smartphone wants my phone number but fails to verify it. Would Google Voice on tablet that does not have 3G require phone number?
@BenRichards Ah it's you. Been a long time. How was your caribbean vacation?
