If you're not looking to build it yourself, I like the D-Link DNS-323. $150, two bays. Toss in a couple of 2Tb drives and you're on your way. Setup literally takes maybe five minutes.

I went the poor man's route. I got a D-Link DNS-323. It's been great. The software that comes with it is simply a network scanner to let you find the NAS and mount the drives. There's nothing to install. Once mounted, the drives work like a HDD, which is what I wanted. My MBP connects to the NAS whenever it reboots,…

I guess I don't understand business. It seems as though, if the DVD market is going to shrink over time, that either costs will have to go up or services will have to go down. If DVD goes the way of the VHS, basing your business on the people who refuse to migrate seems like at some point you hit a steep drop... and…

Ah. Logically proven facts and the opinion of the author are the same thing (from the point-of-view of the author). Proven facts are just opinions about explanations that are widely accepted, so even if he'd said, "Gravity is what holds us onto the Earth," that would be an expression of his opinion that he'd accepted…

Reading the article a little more in-depth they do differentiate this method from the laser method several times, saying the method here uses an electron beam. I'm not sure what practical difference this has on energy efficiency or cost. Still neat, though.

That makes sense... and I support the use of lasers in any and all applications.

I just want to try it. Probably because I want to try pretty much everything that's darker than a lager at least once. Sometimes you strike out (Goose Island Pere Jacques, Stone Imperial Black IPA, I'm looking at you guys), and sometimes you find something awesome (Georgetown 9LB Porter, here's to you!).

Me too. It seems like you'd have to be working in high heat, or else you'd just end up with metal dust. The metal has to be melted together... I assume.

"No, sir, it's called Tank Woman. A beautiful woman joins the military to get out of a life of prostitution and has zany adventures driving tanks until she falls for commanding officer who whisks her off her feet! Also, George Costanza gets kneed in the balls."

Right. I think we can all agree that it's the author's opinion. But saying, "that's your opinion," is not a rebuttal, which is how it seems to be used by jbaranski. It's simply stating the obvious. Like replying to your post with, "Yeah, well, you posted some ideas, so there."

What I'm hearing is that if I fire off my script to the Pentagon they'll let me drive a tank.

Reading these comments, I'm amazed how strong some people's feelings are for their laundry cycle.

You had me at "run a hot load."

It's generally unnecessary for a writer to explicitly state that something is their opinion when they're writing in the first person. It's obviously his opinion, and he even gave you some facts as to why he's changed his mind.

You mention one time that you like using them as bookmarks and suddenly everyone in the family is gifting me their empty gift cards...

Everything works as a bookmark. Lose the ticket stub, you'll use a Rite Aid receipt. Or a Starbucks receipt. Or a Target receipt. Or an actual bookmark. For years I've been using empty gift cards I get for holidays.

Oh damn, how did I forget the gay prostitutes? And we're giving them all mansions! It's hard to keep up with all of the activities of the socialist fascist liberal anti-american freeloading immigrant-lovers party.

Wait, liberals support the "colonization of the US by the third world narco state we border?" Shit, when did we take that position? I mean, I've been to all the party meetings. We voted to force you to buy a pussy electric car, we voted to steal all your money and give it away, we voted to kill your grandmother with…
