Comment RAID + offsite backup (Score 0) 229

For all of my important files (family pictures & videos, financial records, etc.), I have a RAID 1 array with dedicated hotspare, and use the Syncrify software (essentially a UI wrapper around rsync) to do nightly, incremental, versioned backups to a server that I maintain at a friend's house ~75 miles away. My next step is going to be moving the backup server to a RAID 1 array as well.

Comment Funding (Score 0) 568

Unfortunately, many schools are having a hard time paying their teachers, let alone a competent IT staff. Such advancements are rarely possible without the proper technical support. Maybe if we could get the federal and state governments to actually fund schools, we could move them into the 21st century.

Comment I personally saw this (Score 5, Interesting) 101

My google page did this sometime this past week. I wasn't logged in, it just randomly started doing it as part of the test... Personally, I hate it.

You know how when you normally type in things, Google "suggests" what you might be looking for? And how, sometimes, those searches are, shall we say, "interesting" to say the least, or "NSFW" or just plain old weird? (For instance, try typing in "How do I" or "how do you" and see the odd results that occur... the ones I currently see are "get pregnant" and "start selling weed").

Now, imagine having the results of those show up as you're trying to search for something else entirely.

Frustrating, to say the least, and embarrassing or potentially job-threatening on some of those more risque searches.

Euchre is the best card game EVER... I don't know anyone around my area now who plays, but I sure miss playing... also it is available online at games.yahoo.com , so you can play there from around the world. Though it does seem to be a mainly midwestern US game.

I think your problem may be that Euchre is a Thinking Person's game. It requires a lot of brain skill to play properly.
