The New IPHONE

[ragboy]

I spend about 100$ a drive in my servers, right now $100 gets me a 500GB 7200rpm SATA II drive. My data servers have 8 drives each. Since we use redundant RAID controllers, the system emails me on failures, and we can hot swap the drive without even powering down.

But all hard drives are made the same, and they die all the time, you need to be prepared for it. The best preparation i have seen is Time Machine by apple. My wife set it up on her own on her mac book pro. Its great software.

Sometimes you can get those disks restored, but its VERY expensive. They don't repair the disk, but give you the data off of it.

well I was looking at the drive and I found a solder piece undone, so I'm going to get a good solder gun with a fine point and solder it back together and try. then when I buy my new macbook, you can bet I'm buying a time machine.

Time machine is free, comes with mac os x 10.5. I think you are thinking of time capsule. But you only need USB external hard disk to work with time machine.

i heard that about the accelerometer before and that's sweet.

Where's the flux capacitor?

whoops your right.

ha ha ha, but isn't the time capsule a pretty sweet deal for the space you get?

It is if you need a airport extreme, cuz it is basically an airport extreme with a disk. So if you want the wireless router, its a good deal.

cool thanks!!

This thread isn't really about the iPhone anymore, is it?

I'm pretty sure I'm one of the culprits

There was talk about city wide wireless here but it fell through...

[Domsz06]

what they are doing now is looking at a Nationwide wireless.

It will happen just a matter of when.

[zad0030]

Im sure that would be $$$$$$$$$$$

[Domsz06]

Yes, I did. That was my point before about 3G. Who needs 3G if WiFi is everywhere. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
