I was just trying make a point that Seagate use to be reliable and had good service therefore it was worth the extra money. It doesn't seem worth it to me anymore when every time you get a firmware update you need to ask yourself is this data backed up.
Seagate use to be a respected name, a to many maybe it still is, but I personally no longer feel like taking the risk of losing important data. The only real leg up they had was their 5 year warranty and now they are cutting that back.
I was going to purchase a 1 TB drive tomorrow and had already picked a Seagate out....but now....nope.
Seagate better get their shit together if they want to stay in the game because there are plenty of no-names that have better reliability and cost far less than them at this point.
I think they maybe still economically feasible in many regards because if there is one technology that the public and therefore the government is going to be willing to get behind its alternative fuel.
The main question is are biofuels still environmentally viable?
Currently the answer is no.

Very true California's number one cash crop is Marijuana, the second is grapes. The amount of money that the state receives for their progressive stance funds better school, better roads, and really overall a better quality of life. I think even if you aren't going to be smoking you should realize the potential here to shrink a staggering national debit and hell you are alleviating peoples suffering at the same time.
I read the article and thought it was pretty interesting and credible....then I saw that it was under the fashion and style section....so I looked up what other articles this write has done. Wow such probing and great articles as "How to Treat a âMoney Disorderâ(TM)", "Girl Talk Has Its Limits", and "The Sum of Your Facial Parts". I am by no means saying this writer is a bad journalist but what makes her qualified to write an in depth story of psychology?
I am actually a hip hop fan and it really bothers me when they create these raps to more or less try to "dumb it down" or to make it more appealing to the masses. I really have no desire to listen to a rap about life in space unless its a psychedelically induced vision. This all just reminds me of middle school and the DARE raps about anti drug. They were lame then I still think they are lame.

I personally never get sick of Chip's Challenge. Great old school puzzle game that fosters the development of problem solving skills.

Yea the internet lets crazy people meet other crazy people anyone who has spent anytime on slashdot knows that.
I have more MS office keys floating around than I know what to do with so I just go with that. If I had to use one it would be open office.
