    You can also decase your harddrives and mount them internally, or buy a bigger one and consolidate, or decase them and mount them in a storage bay. Or you can do what I did and that's add a shelf & just store them there keeping the one (s) I need plugged in and powered.

  8. What I've seen on What's the Shelf Life of a Programmer? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm of the younger generation, but I've worked with all the age groups at some point or other on multiple occasions, and what I've found is... older devs tend to be more encompassing, think their approaches through, and have the jist of how to tackle a wider range of techniques / fixes (experience). Younger devs tend to be faster coders, better out-of-the-box thinkers, and more motivated to do the work (typically, comes from having something to prove), as well as try various approaches at solving a problem. There are high & low programmers in all age groups, I've met people 40+ who rattle code off methodically without external references, and those that can't rewrite a render method. A lot of "newer" code is "older" code optimized, all AJAX is is javascript more or less, insanely complicated javascript at that. A lot of big wig types find it easier to deal with somebody that is more their peer also. Another thing that comes to mind is "culture", bringing a 20-something year old into a team of 50 year olds has some serious cons to consider. There's a ton more factors, but there's a reason age isn't listed on resumes, and that's because it's the shoe that fits that you'll wear.

    It becomes a problem when the older person can't land a job as a result.

    Just mention that Rachel might have stolen the recording from a copyrighted source and they will come.

  15. Re:No more bloatware? on Apple Delays Simpler and Cleaner iTunes 'to Get It Right' · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I feel bad anytime I have to install itunes on my gaming machine, it hits it like installing another AV almost, much more when it's actually running. VLC ftw.

  16. This was inevitable on Russia's Internet Blacklist Law Takes Effect · · Score: 1

    The means by which the Russian government wants to do this are well... Russian: I say you do. However, this was a long time coming, there's a lot of stuff coming out of there that well is actually illegal there and in the rest of the world: hacking stuff, child porn, warez sites. I don't think they've done much towards trying to control it, and the thing with Russia is even though they pass this law now, doesn't mean they're going to enforce it with due diligence like they do here in the states. Time will tell.

    Yep, backwards compatibility is something that's become expected of MS as of late, it's also kind of important for marketing purposes. Either way, I'm thinking pass unless somebody buys me a tablet w win 8.

    The problem is users using the search to try and find something local & then getting a bunch of amazon results alongside their files. Not very Linux like at all.

  23. Re:I'm Optimistic on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Well... there's all the SW novels they can recreate, most aren't that great though. I'm neutral on this move as long as SW7 isn't animated... not sure if we really need a SW7... the new trilogy complemented the old one, but seriously lost steam around ep. 3.
