The previous admin team used names of different wines but we thought that was pretty ghey so now it's all Futurama based... Bender, Flexo, Fry, Leela, Nibbler, Farnsworth, Elzar, Calculon, Hermes, Morbo, Zoidberg, etc.

Amazon S3 Adds Option To Make Data Accessors Pay 80

Posted by kdawson on Monday January 05, 2009 @08:17PM from the by-the-byte dept.

CWmike writes "Amazon.com has rolled out a new option for its Simple Storage Service (S3) that lets data owners shift the cost of accessing their information to users. Until now, individuals or businesses with information stored on S3 had to pay data-transfer costs to Amazon when others made use of the information. Amazon said the new Requester Pays option relieves data providers of that burden, leaving them to pay only the basic storage fees for the cloud computing service. The bigger question with the cloud is, who really pays? Mark Everett Hall argues that IT workers do."

Thecus 5200b Pro - currently the best soho NAS i can find. I use it with Raid 5 and it never drops below 30MB/s throughput. Highly recommended!
