You are in over your head. Buy a pogoplug and some usb2 hubs. Connect your drives to the hubs and they appear as unified file system on your clients. Or, if you need better performance accessing the data, call an expert.

pick a different storage backend.

Yes, the general egg came first.
The first Chicken Egg was laid by a chicken.
The first chicken hatched from a non-chicken egg tho.

That site offended me. From the mass of stock photograghy, to the lack of content, that site was offensive. I was asked to check it out, but I sure won't be following that POS. It hurts to look at it. Someone should be looking for a new job for showing that to the public.

somebody patent the use of autonomous technology to allow a driver to partake in an interactive advertisement, or otherwise immersed in an advertisement experience that under standard non-autonymous conditions would be unsafe.

If they could sell ads via a wind farm, they would be working on it. Googles interest in driverless cars is to remove the driving so they can present more ads. Googles interest in fibre is to get higher bandwidth to people, so they can show them more effective ads. Google is an advertising company. Their interest is in getting more ads to more people.

Googles wants to make cars that drive themselves a reality; driving is a major distraction from the advertising they would like to present you. Google wants to make your fridge know what you eat; knowledge of diet lets them show you ads related to shopping you must do. Google wants to develop advertising into all aspects of life. I think I just solved for X.

genuine cross platform abilities

Three of my best friends and one professional photographers I hang out with have them. I have spent a lot of time with the camera. They are very nice, but i will not give Sony my money.

I wont own a Sony because I have personal issues against the entire brand, but the NEX5 NEX7 cameras are awesome at photos and video. The manual controls are easy to use, and the auto settings produce great photos. The only down side to the camera is that it feels like a cell phone that somebody turned into a camera. The sensor is world class tho, and there are adapters to mount old range finder glass onto it. The panasonic micro four thrids cameras are all great. The GX1 with the pancake zoom lens could be really appealing to you. You would also be happy with the GF3 if you want more auto features and features in general, and maybe the G3 if a more traditional dslr inspired design fits your hands better.

just get virtual box, and run linux on your mac book.

Really ? You know, if one can't find particles that a model predicts, the model is likely to be crap. Being able to validate a model, lends credit to assumptions made in developing the model.

I thought the share holders were the people funding the terrorist forcing us down a path of maximum corporate power and profit at all costs. Governments bend to the wishes of these terrorists.

They were probably waiting for "Mission Accomplished Day" to come around before giving the news. Everything is scripted for the best theatre.

They got him on Mission Accomplished Day !
We are all safer now that he is dead.
Osama was one of the few people who could mastermind the destruction of three towers with just two planes.
