Umm, how often do YOU have to clean your tape drive? We had to clean it A LOT. How often did YOUR tape drive die and have to get fixed? Maybe we just have bad luck or something. I dunno. I'm not a fan of tape drives, sorry. And when it comes to backups, convenience is pretty important...

As long as we're on the subject, I can offer my own real-life experience in deciding between USB 2.0 or FireWire. We have a PC that performs network backups. Because tape drives suck, we decided to a use removable hard drive method. Addonics has a nifty hard drive enclosure called the Combo...

Heh, that's awesome! Yep, it's right on Radisson Road there by the airport. You probably saw this sign, right? I made that sign too, although in retrospect, there's too many words for people zipping by at 40 MPH to really notice and read anything other than "COMING SOON!" It warms my heart...

Guys... read the article! Intel made a piece of plastic that looks like the Mac Mini. There is quite literally nothing inside that thing!!! What a retarded moment in computing history.

About the firewall... I think I understand the issues surrounding that item. Unless another easy possibility presents itself, I am planning on pushing for an 1U appliance firewall of some sort. My need is primarily to tie 3 LANs together into one BIG LAN. That would be a permanent...

I tried this Synergy program out once. I liked it, but the one feature I wanted to see was a volume slider just for iTunes alongside the buttons in the menu bar. I actually emailed the developer about it, and he just suggested something else involving hot keys or something. <shrug> I didn't...

I don't think so. People wouldn't blow themselves up if they just believed in power and politics I think. But I could be wrong since I've never blown myself up in the name of God...

I have an AGP G4 that I'm getting ready to sell on eBay. The best upgrade I've given it was a Radeon 8500 Mac Edition. I read somewhere (probably xlr8yourmac.com) that the 8500 was the best graphic card for the AGP Power Mac; the benefits of the other more powerful cards don't shine as much or...

Ahh... progress. Groundbreaking was last week! Internet I'm thinking T1 is definitely the way to go. Stupid phone companies won't give out phone quotes... they always want to come in and meet face to face to push a contract, so I'll have to deal with that. VPN Stuff The latest issue...

Meh. I bought the Kensington hub. It's pretty good. The weighted base could be heavier yet (why don't they just incorporate the power supply into the main unit????)

It sucks when people die.

Another option for remote control via Bluetooth is a free app called Romeo: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18573 I use it to watch my DVDs too! :D

I have a Sony Ericcson T616. I don't know if it does the PDA thing, but it does have a calendar and contact list that syncs with iSync. Bluetooth support is pretty good, except for the fact that my contacts' workplaces don't update on sync for some reason. I would not recommend this phone...

Because we're too lazy, and people don't value the fought-and-died-for right to vote that we have. It was Ross Perot, a 3rd party independant who disrupted Bush Sr.'s bid for a 2nd term that got Clinton in. Often times voting for a 3rd party candidate means either a wasted vote or a vote...

ElDiabloConCaca, you are a breath of fresh air. I am so glad to hear a sensible democrat. Thanks for saying all that. :) :) :)

LOL, no problem Diablo. I appreciate the way you were asking the questions. Sorry if I sounded a little defensive at first. :)

Yes, because I DO support acknowledgement of our nation's heritage. Such symbols should not be removed only because of somebody's uncomfortability or supposed "offence taken". I do not have the position I have because I am a Christian. That's just a coincidence.

I think that I would be fine with your scenario because I would recognize that said nation was founded on a different religous code. If I was to move to Israel and assimilate and yet keep my Christian faith, I would not have a problem with the Star of David showing up on government tokens. If...

Well, I'm sorry but I do feel discriminated against often times when I read some discussions going on here (more often at the MacAddict forums; that's why I hang out here more). But when the ACLU demands a small cross to be removed from the Los Angeles County seal because of "separation of...

What? Like laws against murder and stealing? Yah, those are sure old fashioned and should probably be abolished. I don't know what you intended with your statement, but the fact is, government is ALWAYS 'legislating morality'. Nowhere in modern history has homosexuality been more accepted...
