Crashplan offers unlimited storage, yes, but they limit it indirectly by slowing down uploads.
I recently paid for a crashplan account to back up ~6TB of media, and at the speeds I'm seeing the initial backup is going to take more than a year. I have 100Mbit/s fiber at my home and can max it easily with other services.
So for 20TB, it's going to take many years to back up. I don't think that's a practical backup solution. There's a decent chance you're going to lose your data before the initial backup completes. And if crashplan goes under, you have to start all over again with the next "unlimited except for rate" provider, and have no backup in the meantime.
Did your upload start fast and then slow down? That's not network throttling that you're running into. I ran into as well as did "network rockstar":

I made the change described there and my upload speeds went back to normal, as "network rockstar" mentions here:

Have you tried those changes yourself?
I use the onbaord video, sound and network in my shuttle system and it works fine. Your best bet is not buying something and hoping it works, but looking up the component online and seeing if it is supported under linux.
Several people, my girlfriend included, have mentioned to me that she looks hot with an eye patch. Am I the only one who doesn't have a thing for people with eye patches?
Same here, I'm not into smoking pot or any other drug use along those lines (I'll have a drink or two, but not a lot) and I do enjoy the long jams. I also like the longer songs that progressive rock has as well, not just the long songs played by jam bands.
First, you get the speed of RAID drives, and you only lose 1 drive of your entire set. (So the more drives you have, the better it gets)
The flip side of this is that the more drives you get, the higher the chances of one drive failing are. Sure one drive failing is fine, but if you had a 25 drive array or something, and 2 drives failed (or, rather, one failed, the hot spare started to rebuild, but before it could finish, another one failed), you're screwed.
More drives means you "lose less space", but it also means you up the chances of the array tanking.
Agreed, I'm not disputting that. I just don't think anyone here can afford to spend several hundred a month on servers for their personal websites. Those of you who do spend hundreds a month to host your blogs and photogalleries and resumes and vanity domain for email, raise your hands.
Someone who doesn't take out two dedicated servers from Rackspace for several hundred a month just to host their own web site? Email should be seperate from that as well, making it three servers a month. Can someone who just wants their own dot com really afford 3 dedicated servers for a personal dot com? Sure, the best thing to do is seperate them, but some people don't have the budget you do to host your own dot com.
An in ideal siutation, yes, you hide your database server from the internet and have the webservers access it, but, again, not everyone has the money you do to host their own personal dot com.
What about people like me who use their phone to wirelessly surf the web? Doesn't make any noise, but you're willing to stop me from surfing the web just because you don't want to hear others? Any establishment that blocks my internet will find themselves short one more customer. What's next, dumping buckets of water on each person as they enter so they don't smoke?
More of a linux primer than an upgrade guide. An upgrade guide would tell you how to dual boot to see if things work, move all your applications over to the Linux equivilant, and than, if you like it, show you how to remove the Windows portion.
It seems Groklaw will be able to (A)branch their website out into covering all stupid tech litigation or (B)spawn a sister site to cover this particular matter.
They could do it free with some Common Content released under a Creative Commons license. No music tax for people in Canada, almost no cost to Apple, and other people get their music heard. Sure 99% of iPods buyers will delete it all, but who cares? If 1% listen for just a minute, it's that much exposure that the musican had, at no cost to them.
Thanks. I've been able to find a few other places that cater to linux users from this list here:

My workplace allows me to get a nice discount on all Dell products, which is why it's actually cheaper for me to buy a Dell with Windows, than another brand without. Thanks anyhow.
It's my antenna on my property, as such I can do with it what I please. Conversly, I should be able to tell them to get their satelitte out of my way, it's blocking my view.

Chances are the Wikipedia link will work a whole lot longer, I'd guess that it is less susceptible to linkrot.

I did include a wikipedia link in my submission, but it was removed and the line about the Chinese was put in its place.
Am I the only one who wishes they made their laptops in black?

The author of the extension mentions the bugzilla entry for this very thing. I guess you can write a patch yourself. Anyhow, my point still stands.

Whoever modded the above as off topic clearly hasn't heard of ROT13. Who doesn't have ROT13 for their webbrowser and mail/usenet client?

Be nice if I didn't have to transcode, I'm lazy like that :)

(Oblagatory "RAID is not a backup either".)

Actually, it's his second slashdotting, and his CMS, Drupal, has an anti-slashdotting mechanism built in--caching.
Call me when I can play Rise of Nations on Linux under winex, I've already replaced Excel.

Ditto. Not sure why that happened.

Ah, a lossless music store. Finally. Why would I pay the same for music of lesser quality? Never made sense. Time to go look at it, thanks!

I can't seem to find their laptops without Windows on them. Got a link to those?
