HAHA. in my pursuit of backup/networkshare i tried: many nas distros and the NSLU2. show me a solution that can EASILY:
- JBOD, just a bunch of drives
- duplicate ONLY files that need duplication
no i don't want to learn RAID thank you very much; and i don't want to use the WHOLE disk to mirror another. WHS works fine for me.
I've installed ubuntu, and even as very technical user, I had problems when trying to customize my installation to my needs. You basic email, web, IM works out-of-the-box with no problems. However I need to:
- connect my windows mobile device. (no i'm not going to reflash it with something else)
- had problems with ATI driver
- have to compile drivers for any obscure devices i might try to connect
- safe mode is not graphical
- windows was snappier on my 6 year old laptop (probably due to generic drivers being used by ubuntu)
I'm afraid we're living in a MS ecosystem. In the business world it's Windows-Exchange-MS office + windows mobile. At home it's windows, windows games, windows media center, and xbox.
Ubuntu has given Linux some sort of standardization but still I think they need alot of money to even approach the dominance of MS. Even Ubuntu feels like many separate projects held together by string.
Of course Apple has their own eco-system too.
Conclusion: governments should do more to support open source for the benefit of all.
instead of trying to 'secure' this and 'secure' that; why not address the heart of the islamic world's grievance with the West? "islamic" terrorists have only surfaced about 55 years ago. hmmmm....what happened 55 years ago?
but oh i guess that's not going to happen, since you'd have to 'give up' what you've illegitimately taken. oh, then you'll let the terrrists win!
anyways, it's resources well spent. we don't need to worry about obesity, cancer, heart disease, car accidents, hurricanes, global warming, pollution, oil depletion, murder, sharks, falling from the stairs, lightning..etc.
Why? Because such people and communications are utterly outside the jurisdiction of the US Constitution. Think of it this way, should the US have to get a warrant (FISA or otherwise) to intercept a satellite phone conversation between Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri in Pakistan? What jurisdiction does a US court have to rule on that matter? Answer: None.
remember, the constitution was supposed to be self-evident! why is wiretapping US citizens NOT OK while tapping foreigners OK?!?!?! what a great example of practicing your ideals.
When it melts, the gram of ice cube becomes a gram of water, which now changes the water level by exactly ZERO.
of course gram of ice means gram of water but the relationship b/w the water LEVEL (volume) and mass is density. So assuming the ice is just submerged, the water will take less space and REDUCE the water level. But in reality ice floats so the the result is that the effect of the melting submerged ice cancels the effect of the increasing level caused by the ice above the water.
if your point was: more islam = brutality; well, your 'examples' don't prove anything. also, you're assuming those countries are democratic and the people want such behavior.
i agree with you. but here is the 'commons' problem; if eveyone says why should i try to change it when america is already better; people will go to the usa. everyone is acting in their (self-)interest.
furthermore, it's really hard to expect change within a lifetime.
What do you expect when Muslims are provoked?! The Pope had angered virtually ALL 1.5 billion Muslims and you don't expect a few extremists to say such things?! Of course alot of people like to pick on such protests by Muslims and amplify them.
I say: YES to dialogue between people and NO to inciteful speech. Wouldn't it be better to talk with people you disagree with instead of insulting them?! Sure you can't codify such activities but their must be a gentlemen's agreement with regards to speaking about others.
caller id is useless if you have alot of people..

Everyone relies on the NAME associated with a number to know who's calling. I don't think BT sends the name to a caller id device. It only sends a the number.

lies? this is one of the most respected sources about islam on the web. it's the second google hit for 'islam'.
Most of Islamic law is based on the hadith, the reported sayings of the Prophet, not on explicit statements in the Qur'an. To find out what Muslims actually believe, you need to look at the hadith and at how they are interpreted by Muslim legal scholars.
Wrong. It's Quran first; Hadith second; jurists opinions third. No muslim doubts the text of the Quran. Most muslims accept the validity of the majority of Hadiths.
Historically, Islam has spread to a large extent by warfare and forced conversion. Here's an article about the reporters recently kidnapped in Gaza...
Some interpretations of the Qu'ran (that are taken very seriously by their Muslim adherents) claim that it is the duty to convert every non-Muslim, or failing that, to kill him.
stubbon ignorance. enlighten yourself. here i've done the work for you. all you have to do is read. http://www.islamonline.net/english/Contemporary/20 06/04/Article01a.shtml
In view of this danger, I have no problem with the government
* monitoring bank transactions
* tapping phones
* deporting known radicals
* sending spies into mosques and Qu'ran schools
great. embarrass and outcast the muslims you need to keep you 'safe'. it's the people who tip off, not authorities.
by the way, you comment is extremely incendiary. i'll reply point by point. the opinions of the majority of muslims.
- muslims *want* a caliphate on their lands. they don't want to invade other lands
- people should practice islam by CONVICTION *NOT* COERSION!
- the current conflict comes from Western injustices towards muslims...which LEAD TO "extremism" and terrorism (long history here).
i always point people to http://www.islamonline.net/ for a moderate interpretation of islam.

i HAD one of these: it was slow and unreliable. sometimes it wouldn't recognize my disk. i had to plug it into linux to recover my files.

Islam came 1400 years ago silly.

As far as recent history, it has.
(or people who appear to be Muslims)

you could have gotten an up mod if you broke up your superlong paragraph.
some things don't need to be changed like: the google search page, basic instant messaging, basic email, windows xp, and the jeep cherokee.
mod up
...all in one! think of facebook as an open identity that will connect freely with any web app. this is what i've been waiting for!
You foreigners have been way too cowardly, refusing standing up for yourselves against my government. Get some fucking backbone.
..by flying a plane into a building?!?!
if 'you' citizens can't change your government, how are we 'foreigners' supposed to?!?

your answer is right but the reason is wrong.

So a kidnapping is representative of more than 10 centuries of islamic history?!
islam spread by war huh?! How is it that indonesia, a nation of >250M, is muslim?! indonesia is a land separated by thousands of miles of ocean and land from arabia. they embraced islam from the kind dealings of arab traders.
