Considering your AC status, lack of any sources cited, and a positive personal experience with 1and1, I am not quite sure I want to trust your opinion of what to do with my sensitive data.
PS, you added the 'business' part in yourself, its not from smitty, further weakening your case.
Get a cheap hosted site from some place like 1and1.com, and just use it as a fileserver. 100GB + MySQL + PHP is only $10 a month, and there's a cheaper plan available w/o MySQL.
It's a US cultural thing, look how geeks are reviled & marginalized. People expect technology to just work, with no effort on their part, and any failure in the execution of technology MUST be on the part of the technologist or the tool, never the user. People have been taught for the last 40 years that causality is just a conceit, that logic is optional, that feeling good about yourself is better than getting good grades, that fashion trumps form, and basically that brains are for losers. The able must serve the unable in our culture, so where's the benefit to being one of the able?
My only consolation is that your children will reap the world that you've built for them long after I'm worm-food.
From TFA, what the money is being spent on instead:
Construction or renovation of dozens of museums, planetariums and science labs for colleges.
Computers, classrooms and lab space for colleges and schools across the U.S.
A website and laboratory for the Gulf of Maine Aquarium.
Arguably worthy choices to spend scientific $$$ on. If you have X dollars, and X+Y projects to spend them on, then Y of those projects are going to go unfunded.
The government loves to buy special versions of things. Manufacturers will be happy to supply the Army with $500 motherboards, and the rest of us will get the $79 version.
I have an idea where we take the CO2 from the air and convert it to sugars and other chemicals needed to sustain the reaction in reactor that I call a Photosensitive Living And Natural Thing (PLANT, for short). The PLANT device catalyzes the carbon into long chains made up of broken down water molecules, so you have chemicals made with H, O and C. Let's call those "hydrocarbons". Then, we extract them, mix them with some other PLANT-derived chemicals (say something like C2H5OH), and end up with an energy-dense liquid. This liquid can then be placed in tanks, pipelines, or directly into some (wise) consumer's vehicles.
We will call this miracle chemical "Bio-Diesel".
45-50 mpg in the VW TDI, and my exhaust smells like french fries, baby!
Make sure that Gartner approves any and everything you do, for maximum tongue-in-ass effectiveness. Rolling out AD to replace NDS, looking for FOO-compliant software, all of these things are great, but will they actually work for you? Or will upper management sit around the boardroom table, masturbating furiously, at how irrationally happy the non-technical audit people are?
btw, there's a difference between -1, Vulgar, and -1, Troll. But most of you mods won't understand that.
CSS Fags are the same fanboys to decide to use XML for everything. No wonder data pipes are getting fuller and fuller, when you have to XMLify every single transaction.
used a Tyan dual Xeon motherboard (there is a lot of compressing taking place on this machine)
How is that germane? We don't care about your dick size. Get to the point.
It would be great if we didnt have pesky choices

You know, all the products in the supermarket are really distracting. What I crave, as a product of modern USian culture and educational systems, is less choice. Why should I have to decide what to do? Surely someone could pick all the useful things for me. Maybe there could be some kind of vote, where we could all just agree to use what everyone thought was best. That would be a perfect world, with no cutthroat competition or need to worry about the future. Shouldn't I be free from worry and uncertainty?
It's not that you're so insightful or european, its that people are frustrated that they even have to go back to the store. And, in a world where reality does NOT provide a womb-to-tomb cradle, sometimes clever people have to come up with solutions to problems.

Thanks Ike, for giving the US the upper hand in the Cold War. He's also the one whose parting words were something like "Beware the military-industrial complex." A wise man, why can't we get Presidents like this anymore?
Make Magazine was so disappointing. Their "cool hacks" were almost exclusively stuff like "I got this thingamabob called a PIC controller, which somehow controls an output signal based on the input. I don't know how it works, but that's not important right now".
It's the "American Chopper" of technology - if this is the mindset and attention span of our future engineers, then nothing can forestall the apocalypse. I for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords.

I got a 5P, added RAM, and the PS ROM to it, with shipping cost me about $89 I think. 6ppm, 600 dpi, plugs into a JetDirectEX, works perfectly.
If you use a real date system, then this is 8/2/06, which is nothing special. 3/8/06 on the other hand, was a revolutionary day.
Write the keys down on paper. Place paper in bank safe deposit box. Profit.

Why do you continue to build computers for your (obviously) ungrateful sister, especially since she's such a whiny cunt?

Yes, I am a fucking psychic... as in, I fucked your mother.

The submission is simply the first paragraph of the article. Is Slashdot now just an RSS aggregator?

So how's teh buttsecks there?

PS, die in a fire, socialist.
This sounds like the *BSD or XFree86 faggotry.
So there's a bunch of FSes out there that support large filesystems. And now ext3fs will. Who cares?
That's funny because old VW Beetles were air cooled.
Jackhole.
Sounds like the Hurd to me. Nothing is supported, but its all new and cool, so you must like it, else you're not a geek.
Wake me when it supports my USB mouse. Yes, I know, I'm picky.
Nice doomsday quote in there, Editor. Have you seen "An Inconvenient Truth" ?
