That's what I'm thinking too. For the past year or so, I've been wanting to swap my MacBook Pro for an Air, but I'm becoming more hesitant now. I just feel like OS X is going down the road of iOS, and their lawsuits as of late are rubbing me the wrong way.

Maybe I'll give Linux on the laptop an honest try. I know for sure it won't be Windows.

Intel. And the nipple is awesome. Much faster than swiping a finger across a trackpad.

To me, this is comparing apples and oranges. A lot of indirect costs are built into Glacier. With a local tape system you need to factor in: backup software, backup server, operators, power, off site pickups, fire suppression, cooling, security, etc. Sure it might be cheaper in the long run, but it's a lot more to manage.

Wouldn't you want at least two NICs for that?

I'm pretty sure they switched their stance on "too much" termination.

Also, I believe while on a call you can transfer off of wifi, but not on to it.

I'm in your boat. I have an account, but it's more of a blank place holder. I have zero customization to it, and maybe once a year log into it (only to promptly log out).

Back when I was in college, 2003-2007, I remember going to lecture halls and sitting in the back. Every student had a laptop out, and all they were doing was posting garbage on other peoples walls. I was so disgusted with the popularity contest that was facebook, I vowed never to take part in it.

I guess I keep it around for the fringe use cases where maybe an old friend will move to my current city, and learn that I live here. Then again, I could close the account and never miss it.

Prices are still twice as high as the items I spot checked from McMaster

Am I missing the joke?

There are plugins, one for example, so I can type putty[tab]servername. You can also index more locations than your start menu. I index a common shared documentation space, and can easily open files by typing their name.

Check out Madison, WI. http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/24/wisconsin-land-of-beer-chee...

As one comment summed up: "As the founder of a 5 strong semi-stealth Madison startup I can definitely attest to our fair city's startup culture. Great university, great lifestyle options and create urban and natural environments. It's hard to beat our live-work-play stats outside of Europe. We've been rated the best place to live in the US, raise a family, bike, and other various accolades from major orgs/mags over the years."

With Amazon you could facilitate a DR onto their other platforms. With your Equallogic example you would need to mirror that data to another device with recovery targets in another location.

I usually have half a dozen RSS searches added to my Google reader for items I am keeping an eye out for. Using the advance search operators and RSS feeds, I usually am the first person to reply to ads.

ooo racey

I'm running FreeBSD 9 with https://hostigation.com/

Very happy.

I'd love to run Linux at home, but gaming keeps me on Windows. Sure I could dual boot, but it's such a pain for little gain. I tend to hang out voice chat programs while gaming, and interrupting conversations to reboot to Linux after a gaming session is an inconvenience. Same story for OS X.

Yeah, the old ICE contact.

1) Namecheap supports Google Checkout, so you can pay through Checkout but have it backed by Amex. Pretty sure I've done that in the past with Namecheap

They weren't "begging them to stay", merely asking if there was anything they could do to keep the customer.

And more often than not the coupons are good for the first year only, and transferring after that year (for me anyways) is a bigger PITA than the coupon savings offered.

On the customer service end, I've found Amex to be leagues above the other two. Speaking from my 2 cents.

I have all my domains at NameCheap and have never gotten any spam (or maybe google blocks it all?). Either way, I'm happy. I haven't tried http://en.gandi.net/ but they are bit more expensive.

All you need is a building with walls, then BAM, Sprint is blocked.

Corporate GPOs restricting browser usage. My company JUST upgraded to IE7, though as I am in IT, I can use Chrome

I really want priority inbox and bulk actions.

And most of us are still stuck with capped internet plans.

The benchmarks are pretty disappointing.

My gut says Sprint will announce the iPhone 5 soon.

As a long time (relative) Chrome user, I've recently switched back to FF. I need video ad blocking (ESPN for example). I'm sick and tired of watching a 30 second video ad, followed by 15 seconds of content. Chrome cannot block video ads do to the plugin being javascript. Firefox is native C code, so apparently it can.

Why does "social" have to be pushed down my throat?

MOG has a solid free option, mog.com/m
