Sounds like you're assuming that it's a cluster of Linux servers (that they're going to give you access to) and it's a traditional file system interface underneath. I can almost certainly guarantee you that it's not. The interface you have is an HTTP looking endpoint. If what you want to do is backup data, you might want to take a look at duplicity. You should be able to drop in your Google Storage supported version of Boto and it should work. If you want to upload diff of content, I'm guessing you're going to be out of luck for that use case.
But it's not going to make anybody skinny. Just make hordes of cash under a cause that everyone would support. This is a money grab.
So if it's a money grab and not going to work, how is it a "worthy cause" again? It's not even close to being a "worthy cause". It's a bad idea and yet another chunk of personal responsibility stomped on. Stop robbing Peter to pay Paul (in everything...)
Being opposed to government sanctioned same sex marriage is not gay bashing. Tom and Bob's relationship will never have as much value to society's as Tom and Jenny's. Why? Tom and Bob can NEVER produce offspring. Tom and Jenny's can. No offspring. No society. Before you get all spun up about, "Oh, now you need to have a kid to be a productive member of society, blah, blah, blah." No, that's not what I said. Tom and Jenny's relationship at least has the potential for offspring. That makes it different than Tom and Bob's. And it's potential value to society (furthering it) is clear. So one could make the argument that it's in governments interest to promote marriage between a man and a woman as a "better thing" than not. And if Tom and Bob want to get married. I couldn't care less. Good for them. May they live long and be happy. I just don't think that government should bestow it with the same benefits of marriage between a man and a woman. If you consider that position "gay bashing" that's fine. We have no common ground on the issue at that point I would imagine. Finally, yeah, I'm fine with government getting out of the marriage business.
Immigrant bashing. Damn, you're not a careful reader (I know, I know, it's slashdot.) I took great pains to point out that people here illegally are not immigrants. I'd like more immigrants to come. I'd like it to be easier for people to immigrate. Hell, I'd love for Mexico and Canada to perhaps become part of the union. Illegal aliens are just that. Don't call them immigrants because they've done nothing to immigrate. If people don't want to come here legally, I'm 100% for building a big fence and sending people back home. I'm also fine with naturalizing them and having them pay fines. I'd just like illegal migration to stop (note, once again, I didn't call it illegal immigration.) Finally, I'm sympathetic. If I was dirt poor in Mexico, I'd want to come here any way I could. That doesn't make it any less illegal. And if that still makes me an "immigrant basher" in your eyes, apply the lack of common ground point above to this as well.
As for anti-science, thanks for pointing out the Texas deal. I'll ammend my above quote "I think the creationism in schools is dumb but that's not a national issue." I don't know the specifics of the Texas case (don't live there, don't really care) so I'm not going to condemn nor defend it. My knee-jerk reaction is to be in opposition but that's as far as I'll go at this point. If you feel like producing some actual links, I'd be happy to take a look. As for the ice cores, they may not be the holy grail you think they are. It seems to me that you have your own (religious) dogmas that you denigrate in others. Personally, I'm agnostic on both God and anthropogenic global warming.
Aren't we supposed to all get along now in this new era of b-ipartisanship and national unity? Hell no, debate like this is good IMHO. Keep it up.
I'll leave you with this:
A woman once came to Gandhi and asked him to please tell her son to give up eating sugar. Gandhi asked the woman to bring the boy back in a week. Exactly one week later the woman returned, and Gandhi said to the boy, "Please give up eating sugar." The woman thanked the Mahatma, and, as she turned to go, asked him why he had not said those words a week ago."
Gandhi replied, "Because a week ago, I had not given up eating sugar.
Your view of the GOP is, um, apparently coming from the left. You seem to imply that you are a center of the road guy. But from where I sit, you're quite a distance away from me. Now, that may mean that I'm a bit off to the right. A debate we can have another time... I don't know of a single Republican of any consequence that "gay bashes" and, no, being against same sex marriage is not gay bashing. Nor do I know of any that hate immigrants (nor do they hate illegal aliens -- that's what they are. The term illegal immigrant implies that they immigrated when they simply migrated. Perhaps illegal migrant?) As for the anti-science, I don't quite see that. I think the creationism in schools is dumb but that's not a national or even state-wide issue. Just a group of dorks on a local level that get lampooned on the national stage. If you want to talk anti-science, how about the global warming nuts on your side of the aisle?
I get the feeling you don't run a business that collects sales tax then. PayPal may collect the sales tax, but the business is still on the hook for sending the tax into the state.
Nice image, but I'm curious... Where is Tory? If she's one of the final 5 wouldn't she be important? Is she supposed to be at the empty spot at the table? Or is she the "red shirt" of the final five?
Found this in the Flickr comments and it might be of interest...
It just seems weird to me that your killer app is media streaming, but you won't buy a 360 that does that out of the box (or close enough, with the Update).
But it doesn't do that (at least for me.) I don't have a Vista or Media Center server in the house. I've already got my Linux server set up with all of my content (Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Xvid and DVD ISO images) that plays via XBMC on my original Xboxes throughout my house. On Linux AFAIK, transcoding isn't even an option, but if it was, that'd be silly given all of the horsepower of the 360. Why should I need both a beefy server and a beefy viewer on the other end? I would get a 360 with XBMC support in a heartbeat given that the original box's hardware is being pushed to it's limits already.
Please note, that I'm not trying to whine about the need for Vista or XP MCE. It's Microsoft's box and if they want to tie it to their other products, good for them. That's however stopping me from getting one for the moment.
And I do agree that their XNA platform is very cool.
While AFS might be fine in a larger environment, what the grandparent poster describes was a small setup (one Linux server and 3 Mac OS X clients.) AFS is awesome. Doing a 'vos move' on an live volume and the clients don't miss a beat is to die for... However, I not sure it's not worth doing for such a small setup. I would maybe like to run AFS on my home network, but I just don't think it's worth doing. I only have one server at home acting as a file/print/mail/web server for a few client boxes throughout my house. If I put AFS volumes in place to replace my existing ext3 file systems (years ago AFS did not map metadata over existing filesystems as DFS did) there wouldn't be a strong enough benefit for me to disrupt everything. At home, SFTP/SSH and SMB work well for my environment. I keep expecting NFSv4 any day now that does what AFS does but that day never seems to come...
There are at least a few "Christians" that would threaten the same kind of violence as these Islamic extremists. Thankfully the seem to be a lot fewer of them.
I see it a bit differently. If a nut did something violent in the name of Christianity, the vast, vast majority of Christianity would denounce the act and the practitioner. That doesn't seem to be the case with Islam. I'm not sure of the reason. Maybe they agree with the sentiment. Maybe they're scared of being targeted themselves. I'd like to think it's the latter rather than the former.
The friendship was obviously motivated in part by a mutual need to bridge their ideological gap so they could work together to make law that people on both sides could live with.
That's funny, I thought that the legislative branch "made law". Silly me...
I do the exact thing with an X-Box running XBMC (via a softmod.) I use DVD Shrink to get only the movie and the AC3/DTS sound in English (although my kids loved it when I ripped "The Prisoner of Azkaban" in Spanish.) Much cheaper to set up than a MythTV box and easier too -- just a SAMBA share off of my already existing server. There are also scripts to use XBMC as a MythTV front end, but I've never tried them so I can't comment about them...

I use Unison too and love it (Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.) However, it does not handle Windows ACLs. Does anybody have a solution for this?
I stream everything from the network (so no need for DVD.) Linux will be installed on a USB drive (so no need for hard drive.)
That's around $100 bucks off the price right there...
Yeah, I wish ASRock made a real bare-bones model with no hard drive and no optical drive vs. just no operating system. I'd be all over it.
I applaud the effort- it's a worthy cause..
