Too much time reading so called "books" and "Medical Journals" to realise the upsetting truth that nobody on the internets is ever wrong.

I am sure there were some reservations about using the Docklands Light Railway,London in 1987 as it operates as a driverless, computerised system instead of the normal London Underground driver based system. Nowadays up to 500k people per day (at the height of the 2012 Olympics) treat it as perfectly normal. All over the world systems are running in the same manner. It's only a matter of time before we percieve cars, buses and Johnnycabs in the same way. Eventually of course we will lose the ability or desire to take manual control and a driving licence will become a thing of the past in first world countrys, only required if you want to keep antique vehicles. Travelling to less developed countrys will then be even more of an exciting rollercoaster ride as people still control the roads in absolute meyhem.

How much "insert your own currency here" and its electronic backing would also not be wiped out by said EMP? You think all of your savings are neatly stacked in a vault somewhere to be withdrawn when the electricity goes off and spent as and when you wanted? If the electricity failed I guess your currency would also become pretty worthless. Give me a truckfull of food, water and seeds over a lump of inedible gold or pile of paper and ink any day, diamonds just get stuck in your teeth and are a tad uncomfortable when passing them out anway I should imagine. but they are nice and shiny.

I heard they were moving it to the CNCC Grand Hotel in Beijing?

First time here?

rather drunk, the poster doesnt fare well with the previous ramblings and simply replies a load of horse shit

Will it blend?

The great demotivational poster: Bloggers, Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

Must get a spellchecker :P

I would have to agree with you, Synology for their NAS range is very intuitive for non techy people, shame the hardware underneath is a bit underpowered for what it could be. For SOHO though you could pretty much run one as the main server. Great GUI for a linux backend. XPEnology is pretty good too though, best of both worlds when installed on to a mid end PC (thinking i5 / low end Xeon ?) not entirely legal though I suspect. I guess the usibility is why their NAS's hold their price second hand as it can't be the power of the hardware or reletively slow network transfer rates that keep them popular. Hmm, where have we seen that before ? Apple ?

I think the feds have just busted an international ring of people who like to do that sort of thing.

Catalogue the contents and when you lose it all you can spend 10 minutes searching for the 2% of the content you really want to download again and feel good that you now have 98% of your storage space back to start filling with more crap :D

can i have your stuff?

Plenty of fans out there who would queue up to lick the backside of those.
