What NAS To Buy?

... then you will end up with another Linux box. Not necessarily bad, but NAS devices in your range are what you already have. Just packaged a bit nicer, with a customised web gui.
I'm always amazed to hear Americans complain about gas prices. We pay 1.70 Euro per liter of regular gas. That is (1.70 x 1.55 x 3.78) $9.96 per gallon. And guess what, we are still driving our cars and our economy is still running. Sure, people are mad about it, but it's not the end of the world.
For starters, get your fat *ss out of your SUV when going places less than a mile away...
They are actually much further than that, they already have a simulation of intelligence at human-size. It's only running a very crude version and it makes many mistakes. They have kept it a close secret, but in fact the prototype is kept in The White House. When it boots it is rumoured to stumble 'G..W..B.. V0.98.1 Alpha'.
Since you are reading/. at work, those men showing up might happen anyway. And righfully so. You shouldn't read/. at work. You should work! For me! WORK! FOR ME!! HEHEHE ! FOR MEEEEEE!
Be prepared to be disappointed. If you have to wait another few years for your son then you will most likely find that each and every one of those kits will be declared "Verboten" because they "aide the terrorists"... If you learn to launch a rocket you might point it somewhere that doesn't please your government.. If you get smart about electronics you might "circumvent" the 24x7 surveillance you are under.
Absolutely right! The ST506 was full-heigth, 306 Cylinders, 2 heads, 17 sectors per track, 512 bytes per sector.
My first harddisk was even smaller, only 4MB. It was part of a Grundy 8200 series CP/M business machine. That system couldn't boor from harddisk, it needed to load the bootstrap from 8" floppy...
I came across an unsecured network with strong signal a while ago. Turned out to be someone across the street. They had 4 Windows systems attached, with C: drives shared, unprotected. I also found a shared printer on their network.
I warned them by printing a page on that shared printer, identifying myself and describing the problem. Next day the access point was secure..
That's not how it works. A certain type of HD may have a specified MTBF, a single drive never does. It's all about quantities. A drive may be designed for 5 years of economic life. That's 43800 hours.
If that type of drive is specified for 1 million hours MTBF, approximately one in every 23 drives will fail within those 5 years.
If you run a disk array with about 115 of these drives, you will have an average of one drive fail every month. Run a data centre with 3500 drives and you will have a drive failure every day.
Well, I do not know Indian law at all, but in The Netherlands you can be slapped with income tax for illegal activities. If you run an illegal radio station and broadcast ads, the tax office can make an 'educated guess' of how much you made off of that, and tax you for it. This however does not legalise your illegal radio station..
The content of the website was no more than a single sentence "Coming soon - Fitna", and a picture of the Quoran. If that is considered objectional, than any and all websites can be declared in violation of those terms and conditions!
No-one knows the content of this movie. Mr. Wilders has announced that he will show the dark sides of Islam. However, he has not been seen with camera teams, not has anyone else seen camera's in action. With the amount of media attention his announcement got, it would be naive to think that any related movie set would go unnoticed! Most likely the movie will be a documentary using existing material from previously shown sources.
Mr. Wilders does not have to release his movie anymore - The ridiculous responses to just the announcements, including Network Solutions becoming a censor, proves his point that Islam has no self-reflection and should be considered a dangerous movement to Western freedom.
Yes you can build a shitload of windmills for $1.8 B. But do you know how much energy it costs to produce these windmills vs. the amount of returned energy out of wind? And do you know what a field of windmills looks like when you live in a small crowded country?
Sure, in the USA there's plenty of open area to cover with windmills, but here in The Netherlands there are so many of these windmills already that it's becoming butt-ugly. Not only that, all these windmills produce about 1% of the annual energy requirements. It's not a solution, it's a feel-good measure for the green families..
I once worked for Intergraph, a company that still exists but was a pioneer in the CAD/CAM workstation arena. They had their own internal LAN network system called 'Internet'. Not to be confused with today's internet... This was a 1 Mbit system that let VAX 730/750/780 back-end systems interconnect.
Internet Explorer by default processes 404 errors and displays a self-generated page suggesting to visit the homepage of the website you tried to reach. That's client-side processing.
Although I agree with your general direction, there's a slight problem with your proposal..
The combination of #3 and #4 means that any leaked/stolen/phished/cracked key will allow anyone access. There will be websites set up to distribute these keys.
If every company submitting such silly and obvious pattent applications gets their way then the system is bound to collapse. Business as the USA knows it will come to a halt, because each and every piece of equipment is being threatened by dozens of lawsuits.
Fine. Let it happen. China and India will be more than happy to ignore US patents and create new economies on that. It's already happening and stupid stuff like this will only help to make the process go faster.
Why would you want to run a consumer desktop operating system in a virtual environent? How will that help you being more efficient? Microsoft can't be seriously promoting the use of their desktop OS for server tasks, are they??
Mining on remote planets is risky, as bringing all that extra material to Earth will increase it's weight, thereby shifting the Earth's place in our galaxy, making it move slower. With increased mass and gravity we will be drawn into a new orbit in the direction of the sun, adding to GLOBAL WARMING!! OH NOO!!!

For a major company-wide high-load system, virtualization is absolutely not what I would be looking at It can be, when the goal is not to run faster or cheaper, but when the goal is the ability to recover from a disaster quickly. Restarting a virtual server on a different VMWare host somewhere far away from the earthquake/fire/whatever-drama is a heck of a lot easier then having to rebuild the physical environment.
Just wondering if 'Alta' and 'Vista' were actually meant to be two words, as in "Old Vista". Looks like they are doing equally well as the "New Vista". sort-of-ok start, followed by a quick demise once a real alternative shows up...

I still use a trusty old HP 200LX, which sports a graphics shell, MS-DOS, 2MB RAM which serves part as disk, and it too runs on AA batteries.

Hmmm... Beer line flow monitors? And how long did you manage to keep this system in beta?? Must have been a real party ;-)
"A HD might have a MTBF of 100 years"
That's not how it works. A certain type of HD may have a specified MTBF, a single drive never does. It's all about quantities. A drive may be designed for 5 years of economic life. That's 43800 hours.

IE does make a small customization to the page. It inserts a direct link to what it thinks is the homepage of the site you refered to.

Yeah, I'm a cynic...
You are confusing this with the Moller SkyCrap. This was closer to the real deal 18 years ago then Moller will ever be.
