Stash Your Hard Drive In The Attic

RegardsSJ writes "Robert X. Cringley on his PBS website mentions a $479 wireless, fanless 120gb network storage/file server appliance (running linux) in his column. He thinks the killer app for this one is for keeping your porn storage hidden, if you're busted by the cops. I think his concept is weak, given the wireless signal is traceable (security through obscurity?), WEP is breakable, and the fact that you have to have the thing plugged in somewhere... The company selling the device is martian.com. Anybody use one?" Now that it's possible to stream audio and video through various boxes originally serving other purposes (like TiVo and PlayStation2), this looks like a good companion piece, too.

120GB? by MourningBlade · 2003-04-12 09:17 · Score: 0, Troll

Surely you jest. I mean, who'd need all of that to store a porn collection?
Whoops, typo. Revised version:
Who'd need just that to store a porn collection?
Hardly a decent "collection" without some variety and historical context, not to mention some "best ofs."
I mean, if you're stepping up to "collection," from "stash," you have to do your duty to librarians over the world.
Wait, that sounds pretty kinky...and it's not in my collection! Oh, woe is me!
