  2. Re:Investiment bank? on World Cup Prediction Failures · · Score: 1

    Investiment banks employ invesiment bankers who only have the purpose to count beans, or in this case soccer balls. Those of us that know a little about the game know that there is only one ball on the field at a time, but like the soccer refs these invesiment bankers easily lose track and foul up everything, unfortunately investment bankers aren't much better in the financial field.

    Well as for the media player portion of your question I think Amarok fields your needs.

    You are able to browse, select (multiple) files from your filesystem and have them appended onto your playlist.
    You can also add files, (multiple) directories to be added into your collection for easier searching.
    You can use a search such as ` genre:"classical" OR genre:"instrumental" ` to grab songs that match either criteria. This is also available through a menu off of the search bar.

    OSX supports SMB for use as network storage that you can have auto mount on your mac machine, use Cmd-Shift K to bring up that menu on your mac client.
    It should be simple to add/edit content if you grant your clients r/w access, the method might vary some on the server end depending on your distro.
    iTunes shouldn't care about the fact that its remote, after all its just another location in the file system when you have it mounted.

    Traditional or not I have no idea what that last paragraph is about, unless your trying to run 2x window managers, 2x desktop environments wine (probably with an unmanaged desktop) and wow inside that... I'm still lost.

    Pick one... Higher prices for all Most users do not have an issue with paying for a service, its when they are not getting whats advertised. See: VerizonMath.

    Dropping high bandwidth users Comcast has a Hidden Bandwidth Cap already in place.

    Capping users monthly bandwidth This is just as disruptive, perhaps a soft cap then throttled wouldn't effect most, and should be NOTED SOMEWHERE with a definitive value (and not existent on "UNLIMITED" service plans).

    Throttling the one application which uses 2/3's of the system bandwidth Also Acceptable, MUST BE NOTED, and throttled is not the same as terminate all communication.
    The real issue that people are having about this is that it is:
    1. Silent
    2. Denied by Comcast
    3. Disruptive
    4. Trying to cover it up

    I see nothing related to security on that.

    It also says that it "copies the entire contents of the computer", which isn't backing up a portable storage device which is what gp was questioning.

    Hourly backups on removable media like your key chain sized USB drive is also a horrible approach as you would like to backup on connection and on disconnection without needing to wait for the backup to finish.
