Why are there 2 online service options? I'm doing external drive + online service, but have only used my external drive to restore from failure, so I chose that.

Usually, my phone (N900) lasts 12 to 36 hrs. While downloading torrents though, It only lasts 4-6 hrs. My record low is 2 hrs: downloading w/ torrents, running asterisk, postgresql, apache, some python scripts and 3 browsers (fennec, opera and microb). It was a great replacement when my laptop broke though.

I think the scale was ok on this one look how small a number were more than 120. I could see if half the people polled said more than 120 but not so in this case.

It would have been better if it was 0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-120, and more than 120.
We'd see a more even distribution on the 1st 3 choices. Also, those choices would probably yield in more interesting results.

gjt writes: When Intel and OCZ recently announced new "affordable" Solid State Disk drives — offering a meager 32-40GB — we initially yawned. But, then we took a closer look at the press releases and the in-progress research and development in SSD technology and opened our eyes. While the new drives aren't affordable on a cost per gigabyte basis for everyone, it does set a precedent — and most importantly a barometer price of $100. And it really does start the death clock for hard drive technology.
