    That's why we're working on getting to Mars. We need a RAID solution!

    (Insert RAID is not backup line here)

    Even if you do need S/PDIF, there are some USB->S/PDIF dongles from Turtle Beach at around $30. As for the DVD drive, I recently purchased an external slim drive for my Revo, but that may not be the option everyone wants (it's toploading, so it has to sit on top of everything else.)

    Sure your nuclear reactors may get it hot right quick, but they sure don't compare to the hearty taste of food slowly roasted over an electric car!

  10. Re:Something doesn't sound right on Microsoft Facing Class-Action Suit Over Xbox Live Points · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I understand, you want a way to "charge up" your account with money, so you can buy points (and likely not in increments that align with the amount of money you charged the account up with), so that you can buy content (which again, likely doesn't align with the amount of points you're able to buy)?

  11. Re:Ok then, why not paper???? on A Practical LCD Writing Tablet · · Score: 1

    I was thinking this myself, but finally came to a conclusion in favor of the boogie board. When doing circuits homework, I often have to shift circuits around so I get something pleasing to look at or manipulate equations, which can sometimes be trial and error. Now it looks like instead of blowing paper on trial and error, I could do it on there and later transfer the final version to my homework. That being said, I'm finding it a little hard to justify $30 for it, since this is the only use I can think of. Maybe if I was able to flip between a couple of pages, so I didn't have to erase as soon as one filled up. Neat concept though.

    Then I would gracefully fall down towards the enemy gate. (I was actually looking around yesterday and it seems there may be a battle room videogame on the way : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game_(video_game) )

  16. Re:I use it on Are You Using SPF Records? · · Score: 1

    I should have added that this is just my personal experience. I have looked at the headers, but they are gibberish to me that I can't find information on via Google (X-Spam-Track in particular). As far as contacting the postmaster, I received the helpful reply to have all recipients whitelist my domains in their filters.

  17. I use it on Are You Using SPF Records? · · Score: 1

    Yes, and it's not very effective in the places that matter. My school has recently transitioned to Zimbra, which has been automatically sending anything from any of my domains into the Spam folder. (I also have DKIM set up, but that didn't help. As far as I know my IP isn't on any blacklists, so it should be getting through fine.... )

    Without reading anything else, it seems like it might be the case that he was thinking they could have apprehended the kidnapper even faster if this legislation had been in place. Not a lie, but definitely not a reason to put it in place either.

    I think he's talking more copy than rename.
    I imagine it's something where they open a.dxf, make their changes, save to a_new.dxf and add that file and commit to the repository where it now sits alongside a.dxf
