Again, it's Linux based. Open source. And you can tweak it to your hearts content. Plus, they are quiet and energy efficient (assuming you use drives that are as well).
Nope. Can't go wrong with a ReadyNAS. It's linux. It's open source. It is expandable (4 TB, or 3TB RAID5). It's small. It's quiet. And its energy efficient.
What's not to like? I've been using one for 2 years now. It works perfectly.
No way. I do not pay subscribe to magazines or newspapers for the ads. Magazines I subscribe to right now are SOS (SoundonSound), EM, MacUser, MacWorld, Time, and some others that I can't remember right now. I cancelled my newspaper subscription 4 years ago because the content sucked, and I can get all the local news right away via the net.
That is different. A free paper, fine. Ads all the way. If I am subscribing, ie: PAYING, for a newspaper that is over 50% ads........then there is a problem. Knight Ridder is the parent company (or was). Since they took over the paper in 2001(?) or so, it has become an Ad fest!
The papers in my area in California are at least 50% ads. In fact, on Tuesdays, they include this ad flyer in addition to the paper. On that day, the paper is about 70% ads then.
So, to make up for their lack of "real" content, the companies are sticking ads in there. Sad really.........I remember in the 80s that the newspaper had extremely few ads.......
Funny thing is, the BEST support I got from AT&T was one of the tech guys who actually came out, and decided he'd go to bat for me. He gave me his number, and his bosses, and he spent a good hour on the phone being shuttled around AT&T. One of their own employees, getting the run around. I didn't feel so bad. He did get it fixed though.....finally. Kudos to that employee.
Well, AT&T does offer static IP with their DSL service. However, if you want the Uverse service, you get dynamic like it or not. AND, you cannot have both DSL and Uverse at the same time to the same address. I got the Uverse thing sold to me that you could, then they, without notice, shut off the DSL. THEN.....calling tech support resulted in them not knowing why it was shut off. THEN, nearly a week later, I was told you cannot have both.
THEN......it took almost a month for AT&T to reconnect the DSL I had........I must have wasted a good 15 hours on the phone with them and in person with their techs (who are nice). Their phone support sucks big time.....
AT&T is kind of doing the same thing with their Uverse service. Worst service ever. They had shoddy installation, and you can't have DSL AND Uverse coming in the same residence even though they are on different phone lines.
Supposedly it is blazing fast, but AT&T doesn't offer static IP addresses on Uverse......oh well........
Oh, yeah. Signs. Like the ones I see around my area that say $320 fine for red light running. Seems to really help with those SUV driving moms that still enter the intersection when the light is red. Or the sign that says NO U TURN that I see people not pay attention to. Sad really.
"Tele Atlas says they will release truck-appropriate databases at some point, but until then they advise local governments to make use of a technology dating back to the Romans: road signs." If they were in the states, they'd get sued for stuff like this. They are knowingly giving out false information, and potentially cause harm to life and property. To be so flippant about it is like swimming in blood in the ocean thinking you won't attract any sharks.
Which explains why Universal decided not to agree to a long term contract with Apple on iTunes. Following that sort of reasoning, shouldn't the Oil companies get a percent of every car sold? Or Nike get a percent of every sock sold? Or maybe the RIAA should demand a fee for every car sold, cause they have CD players in them? Or maybe they should do the same from Sony, and any other company that makes something that plays music?
It is out of control.
I expect the Zune to be a non-issue when the next generation of iPods hits, which could be any time now. I used to see the Zune being pushed by Office Depot, but they don't anymore. The latest circular features SanDisk players.

" has shrunk...in diameter over its lifetime, due to shrinkage at its core."
That's what SHE said.
Yeah, until Windows Home Server decides to corrupt your data. No thanks.
How many freaking plugins you running with a ReadyNAS? I run the iTunes streamer, and FTP. I don't have any problems with speed.
Transfers are OK speed with Gigabit ethernet, but I'm using it mainly to keep stuff stored long term on there.
Third (or fourth?) vote for ReadyNAS. Their products are rock solid, and work great. Plus, they are updating their software all the time.
I believe the new NAS from Infrant/Netgear (the ReadyNAS people), will have RAID 6 support. It also supports 6 drives.

But they are supposed to be a NEWSPAPER. Not an AD paper. Who would subscribe to something just to get ads?

Thanks n00b
So you assumed something?
Nice work......

Funny, I've been doing that for nearly 10 years on DSL.........
Yes, Einstein. That is not what I want to use, thanks though.

Oh, witty. You are the champ. Carnagepro.com.......run from your mom's basement?
So? eMusic is hardly a direct competitor. They have indie groups and labels. Big deal. $7.49 to download 5 songs compared to $10 for 10 via computer?
Why would I want to download to my phone again????

Microsoft should just admit defeat, and move on.
Yeah, and I'm sure the 4 or 5 songs you have on it sounds great as well. What were they again, Michael Jackson's Greatests Hits?
Perhaps a better target would have been a major record label's son/daughter doing these things?
No, if you read it, it sounds like a political jab.
Plus, the lawyer now has retracted his statement....
This has to be the most petty thing I've seen. How many millions of other people would be guilty of this as well?
I know there are people who hate Bush, but really, this is insane.
Is something messed up over there at PC World? Vista clocks set wrong?
How can you do a Best of 2007 when we aren't even half way through 2007????? Seriously. 2009 cars coming out next week?
I like compression and all, but moving political primaries up, now this.
