Exactly,
It is way too dangerous to put photographs of your little children online
The safest way to have photos of your children, is to keep them private, within your own collection and keep them on your own hard drives
Do not back those photos up, on your Google photos, since then they will be in the pool of shareable data

Most of us here are technically well versed.

If I say, that I have a networking HOWTO doc at revision 0.4.6 you know what I talk about. I've got contact with people who cant even fathom the concept of revisions.

THis dumbed down system is for them

Zero income means priorities need 2 be met and having dying drives is worse than having other dead computing hardware.

I would buy the best replacement that fits your budget, since you used your old setup for 8 years, you will use this storage system for years to come.

How do you keep drives working for 8 years? I had fujitsu 10.000 RPM drives (68 pins enterprise SCSI) that worked for 10 years but they were enterprise drives

The GUI is not modern, IMHO. It's a flat 2d mess with not even a colour change when a window is active. A gad damn nightmare

I quoted you on twitter, with source reference ;)

> This is just another in a long series of slashdot articles that have pointed out the broken nature of our patent system I assume you mean the US patent system. I my section of the world something like this would never see the light of day. From my point of view, there must be many parties of interest, who make billions of dollars (per decade), resulting in the delays in reforms. There is just too much money to be made. This problem is so bad in the US, it looks like Third World country politics, horifficly infantile

Quite funny your post ;) NFSW lcd_calibration 4 adults http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sexual_intercourse_with_vaginal_lubricative_fluid.jpg

Thanks for the explanation. I've been an avid amiga user for about 15 years, but didn't know this. My handle is also referencing to RAD: the persistant amiga Ram disk, is 'encoded' in it {RemADeus}

Enligten us...

Remembering from a time, long before war ;) ...there's no sunshine when she's gone, she's gone, gone too long, anytime, she goes away ...

The most [b]sneaky[/b] of all these evil interfaces are the ones which ask you for your mobile phone number (like in mafia wars) so they can verify the link between your identity and your name. I have made sure my FB account has garbage as info (I only use it for MW), and I laugh at the attempts to get any of my phone numbers through the appps

Actually, customer relations was one of the reasons Walmart failed in Europe (especially in Germany) when it tried to expand to over here a few years ago. ;-P

The other thing regarding this case might be that every retailer has to give a 2 year warranty on any product. One more important fact is that in the first 6 month after the purchase, the law specifies that a consumer that claims the product is at fault is right unless the retailer can PROVE that the product works as advertised, or the customer damaged it on purpose. So there would be not much to gain for the retailer by going to court, unless he can prove that in court.

For the remaining 18 month of the warranty the burden of proof is reversed, so there the customer would have to prove that the product was already defective by design when he bought it.
