i would go with the almond + http://www.securifi.com/almond... for me it will be the end of using custom firmware but theirs will be open source .
Beta backers and early orders are shipped or shipping. Its about 6 months from being for sale on amazon i think.

last time i checked that will work in my mac book pro with out having to mod its case... or a mac book... or almost any mac.... oh the star at the bottom says no support for pc... but it says it will fit and its been out for a while. i guess there is no love for hd dvd in this world since it is a inferior product
he is right you cant really compare a closed os to a open source based os. for apple people can find bugs and report them. MS ppl can find them also but its a LOT harder. also MS does not really say what their fixes are fixing when apple says what it is patching.
the reason its not in a sub directory is because it would index its self sending it into infinity... then again u could probably set it not to index that part but why would u want a backup to be on the same drive anyways? the whole point is to back up ur data to have it safe for if the main drive fails... they just added in the going back in time part to sell it. dont be cheep get a external 500 gig drive for 100$ (i think thats what there down to when there on sale)
way to get the most posts on/. post something about apple and vista... but seriously if apple released it then it would of been as buggy as vista if not worse... they waited worked out bugs and didn't implement drastic programming changes at the last second. on the other hand vista was in beta for years then the last second they did drastic and dramatic changes.
at least it wont take till SP 1 or 2 for people to start using it. also in reality what one looks like the other is it apple cloning vista or was it vista that threw the stuff from apples betas into its own OS and the reason why its OS is so unstable... also look at vista final beta they changed a LOT before GM that pissed off programmers...
take the hdd out and say you can not let them see the contents of the drive dew to sensitive data. then if they say they need it to do the repair ask them for their security clearance level. of course you have to keep as straight of a face as possible and say i am serious. then just stare at them and they most likely will fix it if they state a clearance level then say thats not a level and say they can be arrested for falsifying security clearance levels. that or get a other hdd and install windows vista back on it and take it back into them or install XP for all i care.:) social engineering is amazing. of course you have to be dressed your best when you do this. (i did it to HP here in the states because they refused to repair my main board with out the HDD so it is essentially the same thing) also look over the waranty papers and see if it says anywhere about that. also there i do believe is a law in London that says prevents them from doing this. falls under the same law as cell phones locked to a carrier.
ya i can see it now... call in to tech support "ya go into reg edit and modify this key here... ok your good to go" 2 hours later "what did you do? you deleted a bunch of things from regedit and your wondering why the internet will not work and your computer wont load anything... im sorry call MS"
for a technician taking a user into the registry is like giving a terrorist a tour threw a reactor... you just dont want to do it if you want to have problems
last time i checked it doesnt take 9 hours to fix a NIC, or even scan the network for what computer is putting out crap all over. if it was a "bad NIC" that caused it then there would of been major warning signs on the machine its self (that and most the times that i have ever seen a NIC fail the OS just says F-it and disregards it) i have seen it cause routers (linksys and so on)to reboot but routers like those are not like managed switches in networks like the ones the airport should have. not to mention it was a DT computer they say and last time i checked most computers at airports are just terminals not full blown desktop pc's... but i do agree with the fact that one NIC would not take out a whole network. it could take part of it out but not the whole thing
who forgot to pay the IT guy? last time i checked shouldn't most switches correct this issue... i could see them using hubs and thats what really caused the overload:)
come on give them some credit... they are releasing the super duper deluxe premium ultimate edition soon that will rectify this issue. of course it wont be available till SP2
i feel really bad for these police officers children. come on thats like a parents dream being able to track their kids with out having to fallow them or anything... i can see it now...
you can look at this in many different ways like he found the bug so he should get paid for finding a issue with the OS and paid to help protect the OS from exploits, on the other hand he should also release the information to the manufactures in a timely matter before releasing it on the web. yet if you look at the wonderfull world today everyone wants to piss people off. apple is easy to find bugs and security issues because majority of the OS is open , PC's you have to dig and dig for them (then again MS does make enough of their own with their patches that no one really needs to mess up windows anymore they just do it their self) oh well apple will probably fix it as soon as he releases it into the wild... where did he get 1500 macs running 10.4.9?
damn you apple for making iThings it makes every one want to put an i in front of EVERYTHING and this just adds to the list... i wonder if any one made a list of ithings

i remember seeing this somewhere a long time ago for NES (and it failed) but it used electric shock for feed back :)
