"by 2100, more than half of them may contain at least 50 percent more salt than they used to" - a total meaningless statistic. Are are going from 1 ppb to 2 ppb, which is essentially a non-event, or from 1% to 2%, which would have serious implications? Doubling without giving a baseline and what that baseline represents is just scaremongering.
This is what I am looking for. The problem is how do you access the remote disk via crashplan? Every type of NAS disk that I have seen only supports access files via the internet side via the web - no options for remote SMB links. What I really want is a remote disk that I can access via a windows share. This would solve my problems. I just can't find one.
We are very lucky here in Sweden - I have 100/100, as do my parents in law (via a local exchange point), where I hope to place the disk.
I have Crashplan setup with my computers and a closer neighbor (who has 1000/1000 via the same broadband provider as I do) and a 3TB drive in his 24x7 server, but it has not been reliable at all. I can hit his port and crashplan responds (when I check it via telnet), but the services don't talk to each other. It can go weeks at a time with no successful backups (I also have Crashplan+, and the cloud backups are working just fine, so I don't worry too much, but I am concerned about the potential restore speeds). Maybe I just need to reinstall crashplan on his machine...
When Ikea rebranded Westinghouse/Whirlpool dishwashers, no problem - the underlying companies will support them with spare parts for years to come, but now when you go to Ikea, it all their own brand dishwashers and ovens - where do you go for spare parts? Ikea has great reputation for abandoning products and making things that don't last so long. I wouldn't touch their own brand of anything that plugs into a wall outside of simple lights.
It's really hard to make money in electronics - many companies, but retailers and manufacturers, fail to make money - just look at Dixon's (UK), Best Buy (US), On/Off (Sweden), Sony, etc. and these companies already have very advanced supply chains. Ikea doesn't bring anything new to the table here.
Acrobat actually works quite well for text-based bitmaps. Simply run a Paper Capture (under the document menu). It effectively does a text recognition on the document then only stores the text for the sections that it can recognize. Makes the documents nice and small.

Yea, you got me. But the principle is the same. 50% more than x, where x is not clearly defined is still meaningless.

Does this mean the end of the fake plastic TVs and laptops that they use in their in-store displays? :(
