Ignorance is bliss? He was dead on about Pluto, people got all emotional about a LARGE HUNK OF ICE. Would you rather scientists just ignore stuff like that and play up to popular opinion?

What about backups? Why bother putting an array in raid 6 for a home environment when you have to backup the data anyways. If you DONT necessarily care if the data goes pop (like say daily DVR files that you watch and erase) then why bother with (full) redundancy? Im jsut curious as the the NEED for all of this, when its REALLY hard to back it all up.
RAID, for the most part is about high availability, not data integrity/storage.
It depends, if you have a sympathetic ISP (HAAHAHAHA) you can sometimes get them to ignore 'in-network' traffic as related to your cap. But generally they will tell you to upgrade to a commercial link.
A few blocks? really? A good 'master' offsite backup will be located ideally out of state (or at least a few hundred miles). Such a local backup fucks you in the event of natural disaster (widespread fire, flood, earthquake, etc.)
And when you say short haul wireless link, I hope you are referring to microwave.
Ive tried many consumer NAS solutions and NOTHING comes close to the flexibility of a PC with a bunch of disks. Its always something. I have a Linksys NAS 200 that the PS3 hates, I have an early HP NAS (before WHS) that the xbox 360 hates, etc and so on.
With a premade consumer NAS, you really limit your flexibility and future-proofing. Just my anecdotal note.
I have to ask, are you really holding so much media data that you need to run 7TB in redundant RAID.
How do you backup you 7 TB of data, since we all know RAID isnt even close to a backup.
I guess my point is why give up so much storage space for redundancy for data that you probably dont need on hand at all times, and cant effectively backup without significant cost increases.
My rule of thumb is, for every GB of STORAGE that is live on the network, I have to have at minimum 2x that amount for backups (one on-site, one off-site + special stuff like photos gets stored on Amazon S3)
Right now im still working in 500 GB data sets ( by this i mean i limit my fully backed up data to this amount), and keep myself limited to that. If you are storing more then 500 GB, I would love to know why. DVD/movie storage seems so out of place when the 'jukebox in the sky has arrived'. There are very few movies that i need to have 'on-demand' at all times. Do you REALLY need to store a copy of Aliens3 on your raid? The cost of keeping, maintaining, and backing up just isnt worth it when you can netflix, it, rent the DVD cheaply at a store, pirate it. etc etc.
Sorry for the wall of text...
Edison, how i used to respect thee as a child, up there with Newton, Copernicus, Da Vinci(IMHO DaVinci was the smartest of the lot by a mile, brutally talented indivdual).
Sometimes I wish I could hold on to those childhood ideals. Edison was smart in setting up an experiment lab, but most of his inventions were very much a team effort that he stole all the credit for. Saying Edison was a great 'inventor' is like saying the director of Bell Labs wrote Unix.
SO you are saying that from now on we should just be hands off on Microsoft? They are STILL benfitting from their illegal monopoly, its ABSOLUTELY RELEVANT TODAY. THey have never been penalized properly and none of the legal penalties changed a damn thing. Microsoft should have been broken up, but the DOJ was afraid of tinkering with the 'golden goose'.
How much of it do they actually own? From what I recall the US ended up having to build alot of the Russian parts themsleves, or at least have a helping hand in it.
Yeah i know, but a 'literal' fuck ton of anything before WCIII has been retconned to hell and back. I knew my statement would draw this argument out right around when i was hitting submit.:)
Actually Blizz has been really pumpimg up the in-game story. All throughout the new Xpac you see the Lich King, and you take part in scripted epic events (Death Knight LHC confrontation, Wrath gate). Not to mention the Thrall/Garrosh fight, the Dalaran incident with Varian and the upcoming Crusaders Coliseum story.
They have gotten much better about getting the STORY out there, a vast improvement over Vanilla/BC. In those 'xpacs' almost all story was advanced through quest text and it was hard to stitch it all together.
The storyline is awesome, but it takes a LONG time to really get to know it. Not only that there is alot of lore that goes back to WCIII. If you played that you have a much greater understanding of the lore and events.
at some point is going to implode. They simply have shitty talent, their CIO is a joke (WAAAA intel says 30% CPU increase but I cant get my app to go 30% faster. waaaaa) and Zuckerberg has limited intellectual capital.
Those gross injustices have ALWAYS been going on, we just hear more about it with the rise in global comms. THis has ben going on for a VERY long time. I have no doubt that when Mickey Mouse comes up for public domain again that they will buy more politicians and set the time limit even longer.
Britain is an ALLY. You dont shit on your allies shoes to protect THEIR citizenry. They are citizens of the UK, and they dont face any TRULY harsh penalties for the crimes they have been LAWFULLY convicted of. If the death penalty was on the table Id consider it. (i.e.mexico generally wont extradite a person if he has a real possibility of facing the death penalty.)
Already on the books. IT reads something like " it is a felony to travel to foreign countries and do things that are legal there but illegal here". The example given was a business man traveling to somewhere in Indonesia for the purpose of having sex with (according to US law, not local) 'underage' girls. He was arrested right before boarding his plane. Can you say Pre-crime????
Best response to someone burning the flag is "I may not like what you are doing, but ill defend to the death your right to do it. THAT is a truly American sentiment.

So you plan on buying 30 GB in total so you can properly back it up? Otherwise you arent storing, you are waiting for disaster to strike.
And how do you back it up?

And the internet will route around them....
If they give apple a special interoperability deal, the EU is going to land on them like a ton of bricks.

That is not entirely true. Popeye fell into the public domain, while retaining its trademarks.

Irony, you gotta love it.

I would REALLY love to know why they think the Bill of rights applies to them in ANY way.
now who is bitter??
