  1. Re:What will the EU do? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    What many forget is that the support for the terrorist groups in the middle east all too often comes from financial sources already in the west.

    [Consider]

    1) The IRA got a large portion of its funding from so-called patriots of irish descent in the USA.
    2) Many Jews and other supporters in the USA also support the Israeli's.

    [Important Note!]

    No I am not calling the Israeli's or the USA terrorists. They are just the only relevent examples other than the Saudi-AQ link that I can think of right now.

    [My Point]

    What is there to stop support for these terrorist organisations in the middle east coming from the people in the USA? Or Europe? or Asia? Russia perhaps? What about South America? Africa? It could come from anywhere.

    [Ergo]

    Pressure should be placed on finding methods of halting financial support to the terrorists. Attempting to "convince the people into not joining up" has already been shown to fail dismally.

  2. Re:RAID 5 on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 2, Informative

    For a decent RAID 5 system, always a good alternative if affordable and you require access to images all the time, why not check out the links from related /. stories such as the one below taken from a /. story earlier today? http://groups.google.ca/group/alt.comp.hardware.pc -homebuilt/browse_frm/thread/63ac764decdbfef4 FYI: It describes building a (reletively) cheap('ish) RAID5 server with >2TB of sharable drivespace to play with.
