Next time someone accuses you of something, ask what evidence they have to support the claim. If there is none, just ignore them and continue what you were doing. Then later if this IT person persists just ask if he likes his current job or would like to find one somewhere else. That should do the trick.

One design mistake: The sheet that comes out to say the website is a fraud covers up the URL bar, it should leave it visible in case there's a false positive and you want to check for yourself you didn't get redirected to the wrong site.
Well, you could then just click to stay on that site and the menu goes away and the red banner lets you know that you are still on the fraudulent site.

Netflix streaming content isn't that great. I subscribe, and I am happy for what is does, but it is more notable for what it does not. It wouldn't be that hard for Apple to duplicate the current Netflix streaming library, and offer that as a subscription as Netflix does. The big win for Apple is that they could ADDITIONALLY provide spontaneous limited-time downloads of new stuff on a pay-per-view basis.
Now, I know some of you would respond: "well, for $2 more per month I can get 1 DVD out at a time, which lets me watch XXX movies per month." Yes, that works for some people, but this requires a good deal of planning-- managing your queue, mailing and so forth. In my case, as I'm sure it is with many others, i have a family--wife, kids-- and I don't know exactly what my plan will be for the next few weeks. My personal Netflix DVD queue has a lot of Sci-Fi, but if I'm watching with my wife, we might go for a romantic comedy. Or we might just make a last minute decision to go out and skip the movie altogether. So a service that allows for more spontaneity than Netflix, at a few dollars more per month, would have massive appeal.
yeah we used to do netflix for a few years. when we got dvds most of the time they would sit for weeks or months so the service didn't make sense. Some of the time we would get the movie in the mail and decide that's not what we wanted to watch.
If you have plenty of content that you can stream at any moment it gives u more flexibility in what you want to watch.
Now we do streaming only and only pay for what we watch. We have an appleTV and a Roku so we can get content from amazon video on demand as well.

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned 3 TB drives, you can get 7200 RPM 3TB drives for $179 or 5400 RPM 3TB drives for $149 these days, why not reduce the number of bays you need by ~50%.
It doesn't sound like you need incredibly high performance given that it's for archiving video and your internet uplink is only 1.5 MB.
You didn't mention your budget, if it's on the low side, I'd go with a Linux NAS, you could build the whole thing for under $4k.
$335 20-bay SATA chassis http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219033
$300 for 2x Intel SASUC8I 8 port SATA controllers
$80 for 4x SFF-8087 cables
$500 for a Mobo, RAM, CPU
$2100 for 14x 3TB 5400 RPM drives @ $149 each
$150 ~800watt quality power supply
$150 misc cooling fans & wiring, dvd drive
Run it RAID-6 with 2x hot spare on Linux. If afpd meets your performance expectations, you're good to go. I have a 10x 5200rpm 2TB RAID-6 linux NAS media server on a 3 or 4 year old low end athlon x2, I get 250 MBps on reads with software RAID-6. afpd is single threaded and will likely be a frustrating bottleneck for writes, it will hang during writes while it syncs to disk periodically. The above config would have no problem saturating gig ethernet during a read and come close to it during a write. Using it as a SAN via iSCSI may allow for higher performance, although you'd need to bounce incoming connections off another server.
So thats your low end, look into redundant X-Serves with DAS arrays for your high end (or EMC if you have a few hundred grand to blow).
Keep in mind RAID is not a replacement for backup, if you are not going to backup to external media at least consider a filesystem with extra space and snapshots, and maybe a second identical server you can replicate to. A higher quality chassis, redundant power supplies, hardware RAID, an X-Serve w/ DAS would be nice steps up.

Hello kind folks of MacRumors.com-
I am wishing for help and advice deciding what type of hardware to purchase for a 30TB server. It must meet the following requirements:
• 30TB RAID (Redundancy important for backup purposes)
• Remote Accessibility in that I would like to be able to pull files from it anywhere that I have an internet connection.
• Macintosh friendly– it does not need to run OS X Server, it just needs to connect without hassle to Macs.
This will be used for at my office for archiving video. We may want to use Final Cut Server to sort the files in the future. I have been tasked with building this setup and am hoping for suggestions from one of the brightest communities on the web. :D
Your time in responding is much appreciated.

But there is a statutory transgression. It is now illegal in France ...
That's a little bit of circular logic you have going there.
By that reasoning you could outlaw anything. :rolleyes:
And many Muslim countries force their mores on visitors.
Show me the laws that force a dress code on foreign visitors.

already does this for all the music in your itunes library
And Subsonic is better...
If you have an iPhone you can use iSub. Best combination out there.
Honestly, though... I'm really interested in seeing what iTunes will do with the cloud. While audiogalaxy and subsonic work, they require you always have YOUR computer on. If the price is right I'm going to the cloud.

Seems like the only way to be an individual nowadays is to not have ANY piercings or tattoos. Isnt it kind of out of style when computer geeks are all about it?
What an ignorant statement
Those who are serious about piercing do it, not in an attempt for individuality, but as a form of self expression, ritual, culture, beauty and art.
I personally got my anti-brow temple piercing done because I love piercing and have loved it as an art form since I was 10 (when I got my ears pierced). I have read and studied and have given a presentation in a cultural diversity class in college on the subject of all bod mods as an art form, as a tribal ritual, culture etc. I love my eyebrows and eyes, I wanted a piercing that would accentuate them both, and have done exactly that. I am not a teen (pushing 30) who has gone and pierced myself out of angst or rebellion or in an attempt to seperate myself from the majority norm.
Bod Mod in all/most its forms goes all the way back the earliest records of human history around the world.

When is Apple going to figure out how to implement software patches instead of forcing people to download a whole copy of the OS for every little update?
They have it figured out. But they certainly won't do it. Too many security implications of leaving any previous stuff behind. Too many previous versions to test and QA against which would slow down how soon we get updates even more. Plus more corruption risks of doing partial updates that could brick some devices (lots of reports on MR here of that happening with some MacOS X updates). Clean installs are almost always safer and more robust for the typical non-computer literate cell phone customer.

I'd have been sold on the 11" if it didn't have nearly 4" worth of bezel. I currently have a 13" MBA and I really hope the next true redesign addresses the bezel issue. I'd love to have a 13" screen on a MBA that has the footprint of the 11" That's really the only thing that will get me to upgrade my MBA. Sandy Bridge refresh is nice, but not reason enough for me to upgrade.
For those 13" owners who are bothered with the fan noise, you really should check out coolbook. I've been running it since I first learned about it and its been fantastic. Battery lasts longer, MBA runs a lot cooler and fan speed has NEVER hit full speed since I started running it.
It is a shame that Coolbook will not work with the SB version of the MBA when it comes out....

Budweiser is basically a light rice wine with hops as bittering agents which is better served cold than hot unlike like traditional rice wines such as sake. I doubt it even fits into the lager category but it has been sold as beer traditionally for a long time here. I haven't had a Bud in a few years myself nor do I miss it all that much.
I prefer it's cheaper cousin from the same corporation Busch--there is less hangover. When I go for domestics in the wide range of alcoholic beverages of low gravity I have two preferences those two are Yeunling and Henry's otherwise a nice Scmhidts hits the spot on a warm summer evening. For Imports I like having my Guiness with a scoop of Breyers Ice cream in a float, my Fosters alone, my Angostrua with seafood, my Golsh with any kind of Wurst sausage...pairing is damned important.

Well, for as little as has changed from 10.4 to 10.5, I'd put my bets on vista having more bugs.
That would be a safe bet, Vista is bound to have more bugs than Leopard. Then again, Apple tries to work out bugs before launching as OS, not after the release like M$. :D :)

I'd be all for something like this. Normal 3D displays are useless to me, I have an eye condition that doesn't allow me to see 3D. So I should at least have SOME 3D fun.
I'll second that. I am also what they now call as having "3D Blindness" where I cannot see 3D effect with glasses. This may prove to be the better way to provide 3D effect where "everyone" can experience it. Current 3D tech using glasses leaves out a good percentage of the population. Plus, no need for glasses is an advantage in itself.

Anyone else think it's a fake? I don't see how the front facing camera could possibly follow his head _way_ off to the side the way it does... but I could be wrong (don't have an iPad2 to see how wide angle the lens is)
Not fake. This has been demonstrated on the Wii and the DS. Very simple to do actually.

The official word has come down from BBY corporate about 20 minutes ago. BestBuy will start their pre-sales tomorrow 6/15/10. It will be in-store only. You will fill out a form and pay a 50 dollar deposit, and then you will be given a 50 dollar BBY gift card.
Despite rumors about the shortage of the white iPhone, we will be selling all 4 different variations of the iPhone 4 on launch day. We will not be able to setup appointments to come in and purchase the phone until we actually have the stock hit the store, but that will happen within the next week.
So if I preorder one through Best Buy, I am not necessarily guaranteed to get one on launch day -- it will depend on how many come in? It is possible that there will be more preorders than the number of phones Best Buy will receive on launch day? If that is the case, is it first come, first served for picking up your preorder?
