  1. Re:From personal experience on The Decline and Fall of System Administration · · Score: 1

    While that may make sense on one level, the time it takes to setup the software on that machine is not zero.

    But if you know what the problem is... and you have an image of the server in a working state, or a documented procedure on how to set up the server in it’s intended configuration then why would anyone waste time trying to repair it.

    How do you know that the issue that occurred wasn't because of how the server was initially setup and reimaging is just a time bomb waiting to recur?

  3. Re:WA as in Western Australia? on WA Election To Try Online Voting · · Score: 1

    Whoopy doo, this site is based out of the US. There are a boat load of stories from Australia every week, so realise that WA is a state abbreviation for Western Australia. I know it's hard to understand that other countries have states and abbreviations. But that's the way the world works.

    This is the Internet, not the united states of internet.

    Yeah, cause we all know that newspapers only report on news local to them...

    considering the HUGE amount of stories that come from Australian sources on this web site, SOME context would be nice you know.

    I live in the US and wasn't sure which WA it was referring to.

  9. 30% forever? on Apple To Keep 30% of Magazine Subscription Revenue · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is that 30% for as long as they keep renewing or is it 30% for the initial term? How does one determine if it's a new subscriber?

    Also, charging the same price in and out of the apple verse could increase prices for all

    The family plan is awesome. Unlike with services that charge on a per computer plan, I can have up to ten machines backing up to the same account.

    I definitely wouldn't rule online backup out. Unlimited backup providers like Crashplan, Carbonite, etc. certainly provide a service that can be very useful.

    No, if you go over they cut you off for a year. Big difference.

    Sure, if ALL you do is stream movies... let's also remember their cap is total, up and down. I somehow used 495GB of bandwidth last month with a combination of the Steam xmas sale, being home and streaming movies and anime from netflix, podcasts, crashplan backups. All legit traffic.

    The extra 1% or 2% that pushes you from 99% to 100% or 101% that gets you booted off their network for a year certainly costs you...

    One steam game, 12GB
    backing up online (I did just 137GB in this last month from a single PC) 2GB per day for two computers, another 60 GB
    2GB in other assorted network use per day (youtube, itunes), 60GB

    Now we're down to 2 movies a day.

    With only a single connection for a family of four, that's not an inconceivable usage scenario.

    One movie can be 1% of a comcast cap, that's not marginal in my books.

    Since it uses 2 or so GB per HD movie streamed, your comcast caps will be pushed. The USPS hasn't called me up saying I have used too much mail.
