I'd say put your /boot, /usr, /bin, and /sbin, on the SSD and throw everything else on your HDD.

Hey, I just did this at my small office where we needed some serious data storage on the cheap. I recommended the purchase of a Synology DiskStation 1511+. It can (by itself) store 15 TB, RAID, every file protocol that really matters, and is modular for upgrades (add 2 more 5 bay stacks for a total of 45 TB). It's…

I paid the $5 for Moom in the app store, and couldn't be happier letting it manage my window resizing needs.

Reboot? It's BSD! No rebooting necessary.

That's the unfortunate cost of free, super technical software.

That's definitely a problem for anyone on dyn-IP, but if you have a semi-reasonably new router, you can reserve an IP to a machine by associating the MAC. This'll alleviate reboot issues.

PeerBlock can't fully protect you — unless it blocks everyone.

Tor's not for downloading copyrighted material, nor is it anonymous. Try using a VPN, secure proxy and an IP blacklist inside an anonymized VM.

Hey, I just have a question: how do you feel about model trains?

Does a dev need to be married to an app for life?

Baudbrain was my first handle. Yup, back when I tied up the phone line with my 2400 bps modem and WWiV was all the rage. BBSing was so cool back then.

I personally prefer [www.seatexpert.com] for choosing my seats. Easy, by-flight details with low clutter.

@likwid687: hey, I have a few tips of my own.

@derilium: I noticed that 1Password didn't work with Chrome, period. (Using stable channel during the 9.x.x.x.x.x.x.x..x.x.x series) That's why I switched to LastPass.

@AgentSmithAndWesson: Well, if you're building your setup, there are plenty of mobo's that support hardware RAID right onboard. I recently did this on my computer upstairs. I did a RAID0, which is data striping, for performance only - not data redundancy. So, if the mobo doesn't support it, there are plenty of…

@TheFu: RAID1 is a mirrored array, so that's for data security, not performance.

Do yourself a favor and take a hard look at the Sandforce controllers - I purchased a Kingston SSD V-something, and it's not all that spectacular.
