Comment Local Backup + Online Service (Score 1) 499

I keep my photos and video on an external hard drive which is attached to a Mac mini. I have a larger hard drive that I use with Time Machine for both the local and external disks (Time Machine can be configured to back up both). I keep a copy of my photos on my MacBook Pro, and periodically rsync them to the external drive attached to the Mini. The video is only on the external hard drive because it is too big to keep on a laptop disk, and I attach the drive to my MBP whenever I want to build something in iMovie. The Mini is attached to a TV so I can watch the raw video without having to move the external disk.

My fire/theft backup is Backblaze, which was the only service that would allow you to back up both a local and external disk for the same price when I selected it. It continuously backs up my Mac mini and the external drive with my video and photos.

Comment Re:Which NCC-1701? (Score 1) 1148

After the refit of ST:TMP the Enterprise was still NCC-1701 (no A) and was destroyed in ST III. NCC-1701-A which first appeared in ST IV was originally the USS Yorkstown (NCC-1717) and renamed for the Enterprise crew (I'm assuming because the Constitution class was pretty dated by this time and there were no builds).

You're correct that NCC-1701-B was an Excelsior class ship, which was first seen in ST:Generations.

Paramount dropped the Star Trek tag altogether, and it's simply called Enterprise.

Which is fun, because the German translation of the original Star Trek series was called "Enterprise".

I wonder how they'll react to this in the translation of the new Enterprise series.
I'd bet they'll put back the "Star Trek" tag.
