Oh yup. I'm not a windows fanboi, but that whole "linux/osx/*nix" doesn't need defragmenting thing is a load of rubbish. It's better than Windows, but honestly doesn't work well.

Why not run the OS on a memory stick?

Why is the marked redundant?! For "long term" and "reliable" home storage, unRAID ticked nearly all of my boxes.

Here here! unRAID rocks. I'm a big believer of keeping storage completely separate to any other functions. I built mine for a pittance, but has great transfer speeds and it's just so reliable. I've had mine running for just under two years, no major issues. Only problem is that it runs ReiserFS But to be honest, that's not the end of the world, as it's still better than striping data in a software RAID environment ;)

Cheers for that ;)

Perhaps this is where the problems stemmed?

If it's lung cancer, they'll be coughing up more than just a royalty. Badom-pish!

Does perian work with Quicktime X under snow leopard?

Problem is, innovation doesn't sell and make large profits in the world of technology. Apple now plays it safe, copies ideas and makes them better and generally useable. Then they sell for a neat profit.

Damn harley owners...

lol

Wish I had mod points... made me lol

I used to be massive. I used to think exactly those things. One day I got sick of it, and started changing my life. You don't have to change it much, and the weight will start coming off. DON'T DO DIETS. They don't work, and will leave you craving for un-healthy foods.

I just started eating normal meals. That is; normal portions, 4-5 times a day, and I took up biking. I had spine issues, but after exercising and building muscle with the riding I lost 40kgs in one and a half years and my back problems are gone. I even eat snack foods sometimes, no biggie. Just be aware of what you're eating.

Working in an office job sucks for your health, but now I can look forward to knocking off and going for a mad ride somewhere. Made heaps of mates and got into professional downhill. I'm the happiest I've ever been, and my body looks great.

Stop making excuses and just start doing it. It's hard, but so worth it. Find something that you enjoy, and stick with it.

Quit living in the past, and get a perm!
