I got an old Dell poweredge tower ($150) and put ubuntu and samba on it (free). Bought a cheap adaptec sata raid card ($65, took some searching) and setup a terabyte raid array (3 500gb drives at, then, $85/pop). I use it to host ghost backups of my desktop, and my and my girlfriends laptops. A raid5 array (and other configuration) means I get an email when there's a failed drive and I can simply replace it (now a drive is about $50). Remember, raid is not backup in itself. So I took it a step further and used a portable drive and ghosts offsite backup feature. So I hook the drive up to my desktop on my first day off work, Ghost backs up existing backups to it and then I keep it in my bag I take to work. So should my house burn down, I have some selected data (software projects, pictures, video, and music) with minimal losses. No single backup method should be considered best. It's a multi-faceted solution that takes some regular, dedicated work on your part.
Hey, many people have asked for it by allowing TSA to take a little more and a little more dignity and freedom. So I say to them: eat it. Need I remind anyone the recent article pointing out these scanners are not regulated? No one is auditing these machines for safety like radiology equipment in hospitals.
I'm a registered nurse by day. I've seen my employer and other hospitals adopt electronic methods for charting, care planning, and most recently medication reconciliation. These are still new grounds that is littered with startups. Our new med rec system flaunts a feature allowing us to pull a patients current prescriptions and allergies from only a handful of major pharmacies. It's an absolute mess as the information providers often contradict each other. There is no common standard or sandbox and it has gotten so bad sadly even the almighty Google cannot survive it. I can see it as a good business venture, yet so many hands in the pot (many are companies with no healthcare experience) makes it a hazard to patients. Some of those hazards are prevented by people like myself. I am sad to see it go down hill for Google, I was hoping this was something they'd end up taking charge of and making consistent.
If you are in public where you have a right to be, then whoever else is there with you has no privacy. You can video tape cops if you want to goto the trouble. If they're complaining about it, then they need to find a new job or do theirs right.
I think that's the consensus from the tech industry. These companies have no intention of legitimately profiting from their patents. They are not acting in good faith with these patents. You want to talk about stifling innovation? These guys are. This is comparable to cyber squatting and legislature needs to open their eyes to it.
I like your idea. I never looked at it that way before. If cyber squatting is illegal, why not patent squatting? I was reading not too long ago you pretty much can't publish software anymore without violating a stupid patent. It's stifling innovation.
Agreed. Some of my family have one. SD gives me a headache now. My girlfriend's nephew often asks me for help with some of his games, which are often puzzles that need to be solved looking at your surroundings. It gets a little difficult with the lacking GPU and resolution.
Veet will do it but it grows back. Figured if they can help hair grow, then they may be able to stop it. Put it in something you can inject like Botox and I'll take 8.
Why not leave social features to extension developers? When I find something I want to share I usually do it via my rss reader on my iPhone or copy and paste in firefox. This will just slow down firefox and add weight to it. Boo bloatware!

Thank you. Someone besides me realized this. A body scanner would not have prevented that tragedy.

Pull up to a 4-way stop. Just proceed with caution when it's you're turn... or is it?

Steve Jobs put it eloquently to the little guy once: "Just change the name. Not a big deal." I bet he doesn't see it that way anymore.
..."Criminals reverse engineered our stuff to commit crimes against innocent people." Whatever, I get phishing messages on Skype regularly.
So it's time we bring justice to that fat asshole on the Sea Shepherd?
Or isn't it a little early for this? I thought I was in the clear seeing people with Christian bumper stickers still driving their cars after 6:30.

Heh my first thought was "So there were more CFCs being used than cars on the road?" where'd these guys goto school?
These are the guys who wrote int getRandomNumber() { return 4; }. Surprised?

Been saying it for a while now: the terrorists won, we are all terrified.
So long Linux support.
Spinoff of Angry Birds called Angry Consumers.
you forgot the closing sarcasm tag for those who are deaf to subtlety.

The root password was "password" after the random numer flaw was exposed in their encryption.
Seems like a waste of everyone's time. Worst lawsuit EVER!

Can we do the opposite and inject something to stop the hair growth on my back? Looks like I have fucking angel wings folded back there.

I saw boson in my RSS feed and got excited.
