I built a cheap hackintosh, with reasonable grunt (Core i5, mini ATX etc). I use Plex, which is just amazing, especially the latest version. Will transcode anything. The same box also runs Apache/MySQL for a webserver, and hosts DNS + a few other services. It's great!
But pwn2own has local access to the computer. The hack on Windows was from China, through Firewalls. I'd like to see someone attempt such a feat on a Mac...
Get him into developing in PHP/HTML/CSS/Javascript. It took me three years to learn how to make sexy, functional and useful web apps. Follow latest web trends with jQuery etc and you'll be flying in no time.
Sorry. I'm an Apple sysadmin, but I still cringed at what you just said. 1, he's a home user that wants a quiet and cheap solution. 2, Apple doesn't make these anymore, so when they die, you're stuffed. 3, Promise way outperforms these bad boys in every single way now. What's the point?
Oh yup. I'm not a windows fanboi, but that whole "linux/osx/*nix" doesn't need defragmenting thing is a load of rubbish. It's better than Windows, but honestly doesn't work well.
Here here! unRAID rocks. I'm a big believer of keeping storage completely separate to any other functions. I built mine for a pittance, but has great transfer speeds and it's just so reliable. I've had mine running for just under two years, no major issues. Only problem is that it runs ReiserFS But to be honest, that's not the end of the world, as it's still better than striping data in a software RAID environment;)
Problem is, innovation doesn't sell and make large profits in the world of technology. Apple now plays it safe, copies ideas and makes them better and generally useable. Then they sell for a neat profit.
I used to be massive. I used to think exactly those things. One day I got sick of it, and started changing my life. You don't have to change it much, and the weight will start coming off. DON'T DO DIETS. They don't work, and will leave you craving for un-healthy foods.
I just started eating normal meals. That is; normal portions, 4-5 times a day, and I took up biking. I had spine issues, but after exercising and building muscle with the riding I lost 40kgs in one and a half years and my back problems are gone. I even eat snack foods sometimes, no biggie. Just be aware of what you're eating.
Working in an office job sucks for your health, but now I can look forward to knocking off and going for a mad ride somewhere. Made heaps of mates and got into professional downhill. I'm the happiest I've ever been, and my body looks great.
Stop making excuses and just start doing it. It's hard, but so worth it. Find something that you enjoy, and stick with it.
Just thinking, don't soldiers wear full gloves everywhere? Last time I heard, you can't use the iPod touch with gloves, you have to use your bare hands.

Thanks mate - that's a great explanation.
All I have to say after looking at their logo is 2 Girls, 1 cup.

You hate the environment don't you..

Why not run the OS on a memory stick?
Why is the marked redundant?! For "long term" and "reliable" home storage, unRAID ticked nearly all of my boxes.

Cheers for that ;)
And, frankly, there's no way they will test that code completely every time they update it.
Perhaps this is where the problems stemmed?
If it's lung cancer, they'll be coughing up more than just a royalty. Badom-pish!

Quit living in the past, and get a perm!

We found a cure! All you have to do is inject yourselves with lots of cash! Yipee!
Don't you mean honey?
