      Something took on Internet access in the area. They have power, no Internet.

        Looks like it will be down awhile too. When I called in to open a ticket there was a 45 minute wait time.

              They need to upgraid from a single hamster to a RAIHAM 10... Redundant Array of Inexpensive Hamsters 10.

                Is that two wheels with two hamsters each?

                  They only have about a 2 year life span so they need to be hot swappable.

                      Is there one wheel with two hamsters walking on the wheel as a warm spare?

                        Nah. They just shout encouragements at one another to keep them moving. Drop some cheese in front of the wheel to ensure maximum power.

                          Ah that's smart why waste the cheese on hamsters not working at full speed.

                            Because they last longer that way, ha ha ha.

                              Right, everyone know hamsters wear out most often when they are starting up. The wheels fail most often when they spin up and down constantly.

                                @coliver Exactly! Turn them off and leave them running 24/7.

                                If one passes out from malnutrition, the warm spares can take over while the injured one rests and gets ready to take the place of the next one who passes out. But remember, if you lose both on the same wheel, you're going to suffer from power brownouts.

                                  Sometimes loose parts get caught during the spinning and causes catastrophic failure.

                                    This is called a System Crash. You hear that noise? Yeah... we'd better go check that out.

                                      Supposing that NTG's internet is powered by 1HAMP (1 hamster power), what would you need to run it 24x7 with any degree of reliability?

                                      To begin, some definitions:

                                      RAIHAM 1 - Two wheels, with a hamster each.
                                      RAIHAM 0 - Single wheel, two hamsters
                                      RAIHAM 10 - Two wheels, two hamsters each

                                      Given the below data sets, we see hamsters run an average of 4 hours per day
                                      http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/114305/analysis-of-hamster-wheel-rotational-data

                                      As hamsters are nocturnal and primarily active at night, you will need to have at least 6 RAIHAM's setup on separate light/dark schedules.

                                      Assumptions:

                                      • Hamsters are fed and cared for
                                      • Hamsters will run together on the wheel

                                      NTG's hamsternet will require 12 RAIHAM 10's setup into 6 banks of 4 hour offset groups to achieve even close to 99% uptime.

                                      NTG's hamsternet will house 48 hamsters, who will run on average 192 miles every 24 hours.

                                        Well then... I'd say you need to get a hobby but it looks like you already got one.
