Sorry, but I have no desire to have my personal information shared on FaceBook, nor do I care about the status updates of 'friends". I was on there, and deleted my account. I see no value in it. If people want to get ahold of me, they can text, email, IM me. If they want to know what I'm up to, they can ask or check out my website for info.
If that labels me as "suspicious" so be it. I have no desire to see Fuckerberg make money from his hodge-podge system.
I think they really missed a chance to turn Smallville TV show into a movie enterprise. They had most of the characters assembled, and could have done a proto justice league type movie.......
I'm not really expecting the Superman movie coming out to do anything. In fact, it could be a huge flop......and I don't see anyone doing a Justice League movie anytime soon either. You really need to do like what they did BEFORE the Avengers. You need to have a movie or two to give the origins of some of the main characters. So, say a superman movie......a flash movie......a green arrow movie.......
Or just spin off Smallville's version of them and put them on the big screen.....it's not like the cast of that show is really doing a lot right now.......
Well, there was a Wonder Woman TV show in the works, with a more "up to date" version of the character. They filmed the pilot, but no one picked it up.......so.....
A huge old Windows 2003 machine is sucking power like a highly paid prostitute. And you aren't using exchange? Why did you even consider Windows 2003 when you could have built/bought a Linux/Unix based server for quite a bit less. I mean, the license per seat of a Windows server is probably upwards of $1K for about 10 people. Isn't it? I know Dell and others were selling non-Windows servers over 10 years ago.......
I'd wholeheartedly recommend getting a NAS. I have a Synology DS1512 that I got in April, upgrading from a ReadyNAS NV that I had for 5 years. Nothing against ReadyNAS/Netgear, that unit was robust and I never lost a single byte of data even though a few hard drives failed on it (gotta love RAID5). It is now serving as a backup device for my Synology unit.
Anyhow, the Synology unit is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the Netgear stuff in terms of software and hardware. They have a whole line of stuff from 2 disk units to like 16 disk units. All of them run the same software. They are easy to configure, and maintain. You can easily set it up to be able to share files over a VPN with it. Or your can log in via the web and get documents. Or have it stream music and videos over the internet for you. Macs, PCs, whatever can hook up to it. They even have iOS/Android apps to monitor or access files from it (like a streaming audio app, video app, etc).
The software and hardware is sound. I had a flakey DS1512 initially, buying it like the day after it was available. Some sort of ROM patch was needed. Synology was fairly good about providing me with a replacement (I did have to complain a lot to their support people). And the current 4.1 beta of their software is causing random crashes on my unit......but it is BETA after all. The release version is rock solid (DSM4). My DS1512 was running that since I got it and it never had any issues at all.
I'd say that hands down, when I was researching a replacement to my aged ReadyNAS NV, the Synology software and hardware was the winner. And it has proven so far to be true. And I still have two more drive bays to fill on it......;-)
Except the latest batch of Synology machines (like my recent DS1512+) seem to have a hardware flaw. You reboot them and they die. And then just TRY getting Synology tech support over the weekend........NOT HAPPENING.
Raid and an NAS is a great thing. My Infrant (Netgear) NV has been solid for 5 some years now. Synology seems like a nice product, but if the thing is going to freeze up and die on a reboot and I can't get tech support for it over the weekend........fuck that.
Forgotten? Hardly. The Foundation Series won a Hugo Award OVER the Lord Of The Rings series.
For those who are going to read the Foundation Series, start with the original three. Asimov wrote a bunch of novels towards the end of his life that tie his whole Universe together. You need to read the original three first. Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation. Then read Foundation's Edge, and Foundation and Earth. Then go back and read Prelude to Foundation, Forward the Foundation. Then read all the other related.
Absolutely DO NOT READ any of the other Foundation books first. Do not. You need to read them in that order. Period. It's like seeing Star Wars out of order. You don't start Star Wars with Episode I. You start with Episode IV (New Hope).....the original Star Wars Movie, then do Empire Strikes Back, then Return of the Jedi then go back and watch Episodes I-III.....
You are joking right? Gil didn't do shit to help Apple, and the only thing that saved Apple was them buying NeXT which also came with Steve. So.....I can see CmdrTaco continuing to sink the company that is the Washington Post....but he isn't going to save it.
Yeah, it's really burning a hole in apples pocket. I mean, they are buying companies left and right......
Not
Why do "market analysts" seem to always be completely wrong about everything? Look at their records? Are they correct most of the time? No. Then why the hell do we have to keep listening to them say things in regards to what a company should do?
If anything, I'd like to see apple invest several billion into their new campus. Maybe also put a billion back into making sure its suppliers are actually following FLA guidelines. There are a lot of things Apple can do, but it does not need to give out a dividend. No one has any right to tell the most successful company in the united states how to do business, especially some fucking market analyst.
Why don't we examine some of the OTHER factories in China that do business with like, oh I dunno, WALMART? Or Sears? Or JC Penny? Or the GAP? Wonder how proactive Walmart is about working conditions where it gets its products from...
Sony should AT LEAST refund the difference for the people who bought her albums after the prices went off. Issuing an apology without a refund is sorta douchebaggie.
But oh, if we pass the stimulus we will stay under 8% unemployment. Or if we pass this insane high speed rail to southern california that will fix everything.
Learning to code? If you are interested in that. It would be smarter to get into health care services, or tax related things. Law is always safe too. Coding? There are so many people doing it, and it's a cut throat business.
Id much rather see my state invest in energy programs than this rail system. Or improve the roads. Or maybe fund charging stations for electric cars and trucks. Or fund stations for filling hydrogen powered cars.
Yup. Hoffa is one reason why we have shipped most of the jobs to China. And look at the US Postal service. Unions and their pensions are the main reason it is going to go under without a bailout.
What Obumma should be doing is going after the Banks and the people on Wall Street.
*yawn* what? The east coast had an earthquake? They do get them. The history or science channel had a show about it. I think the most frightening thing is that they believe there is a huge san andreas type fault like in the Ohio valley or the Mississippi river or something.....I'll have to find the info.
I find it funny watching all the east coast people all worried. Eh, we California people are like chill about it. Call us when you have a 6 or more quake
I think the problem is more like it is way to easy to get a BA, and a Masters. Seriously. They pretty much rubber stamp it in the California educational system.
Why even bother doing that when you could get a FREE Google Apps account that has up to 50 (used to be 100) users? Then you get great calendaring, anywhere. On iOS, Mac, PC, Android, etc.
Seems sorta like inventing the wheel again. plus what are you going to do if it crashes or the IT bozos mess it up?

Though of course you'd want a UPS on that......would it really matter? He's a lawyer. Law documents. I don't think they'd need a cache.
WTF......a Synology DS1512 will set you back about $1000 for 3 2TB drives. You also get Active Directory, VPN.
Way way cheaper. Or he could get a smaller Synology unit (like a 2 or 4 bay one) and save even more.

Death Gate series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
Great books. They should make a movie or series out of them
You are joking right? Gil didn't do shit to help Apple, and the only thing that saved Apple was them buying NeXT which also came with Steve. So.....I can see CmdrTaco continuing to sink the company that is the Washington Post....but he isn't going to save it.
Wait, April is not here yet. WTF. This has to be a joke right?
The Washington Post hiring Rob is sorta like Apple hiring Gil Amelio..and we know how that ended.
Yeah, it's really burning a hole in apples pocket. I mean, they are buying companies left and right......
Not

First step in fixing Government is this. Get rid of the lobbyists.
But oh, if we pass the stimulus we will stay under 8% unemployment. Or if we pass this insane high speed rail to southern california that will fix everything.

But a train? No. Not a good use of money I think.

Ten Times the man Bill Gates is. Bill Gates is now trying to buy his way to people liking him.
Guess I'm an idiot then......cause I haven't given anything for the Linux stuff I use.....or all those free Apps for my Mac and iOS device.
*yawn* what? The east coast had an earthquake? They do get them. The history or science channel had a show about it.

I guess those Russell Brand ads and that boxer.....whatever his name is, aren't working huh?
I think the problem is more like it is way to easy to get a BA, and a Masters. Seriously. They pretty much rubber stamp it in the California educational system.
There is NO good reason why he couldn't signup for a Google Apps account (Free one), and set up a calendar there. You can have up to 50 users.
Why even bother doing that when you could get a FREE Google Apps account that has up to 50 (used to be 100) users? Then you get great calendaring, anywhere. On iOS, Mac, PC, Android, etc.
