I was gonna use the PI as a network storage device, chaining 3 or 4 external usb hard drives to it via powered usb hub, and it worked and all but the PI is soooooo slow the transfer rate would dip down to 5K-10K/sec over LAN when trying to save a large file or copy a large file from it to desktop.
I think you are doing something wrong. I'm getting 8-9 MB/s using SMB shares on an external USB HDD (whcih also contains the root fs).

Comment Don't use meaningful names! (Score 1) 429
Don't use meaningful names! Instead use a number scheme. Call your servers Z000001, Z000002, etc. That way you don't have to change servername when the server changes function, location, etc. (if that's how you previously named your servers).
If you really need different names then create a DNS Alias/CName.

The article states that 33% in the range 0-10 years have a mobile phone. That translates to 100% of 6 2/3 - 10 year olds are having a mobile phone. That seems way to high -- especially when I compare to the real world (here in Denmark)!

"It's gotten to the point where Skype doesn't work anymore," he said in a phone interview, noting his broadband speed was down to 3.56 megabits per second
WTF? How much bandwith does Skype require?

I use iGoogle.com and cannot see why anybody would use drudgereport.com. Everything is just headlines. In iGoogle you at least get to read the start of the article/rss-feed before you proceed. How many times haven't you clicked on a headline and got disappointed when you discovered the article was about something completely different from what you expected?
I know google tracks me but I don't mind when I get something in return. In this case a useful feature...

Passage of Time Solves PS3 Glitch 147
An anonymous reader writes "A quick update on the widespread PlayStation 3 glitch we discussed recently: as of last night (Monday, March 1st) the problem has resolved itself. I powered up my PS3 to find the clock was set to April 29th, 2020, but once I went into the system menu and set the date and time via the internet I got an accurate date. That seems to be the test of whether your PS3 is 'fixed' or not; Sony says you should be all set."
