I've seen quite a lot of USB 3.0 flash drives on amazon and newegg recently. Corsair seems to be making quite a few different models, but the reviews (which are rather sparse) lead me to believe Corsair is really lacking in the QC department for them. I ended up just getting a patriot XT flash drive and it's plenty…

I should get a patent on "Methodology and implementation of blackmail via the United States Patent and Trademark Office" just to sue everyone that tries to patent troll.

I didn't know about the Euro one, that is interesting. They must not the Euroness coming back over.

+1, WD drives always last forever and then some for me. Heck I have an 80MB western digital drive in an ancient desktop that still works like it is brand new.

Because he is obviously one of those people that use quotation marks for emphasis

Only one connection probably, correct? Try putting an actual load on the system and it will easily get overwhelmed. ARM just isn't designed to be a good server CPU architecture. Sure it may be fast if only one connection is being made to it, but the second multiple clients start trying to get anything it grinds to a…

They probably do, after all most video recording that is still done on Film uses Kodak film. They probably have a few patents on color spaces for digital imagery as my point and shoot Kodak cameras that are kinda oldish still take better pictures than a lot of the newer ones I've used. It will be a sad day when and if…

And when it's worth $0.00 I'll buy all the shares thank you.

I'm basing my statements on personal experience on actual trips I've taken with Whole Foods employees (family members) on their random inspections of the farms. You may choose not to believe me, but I sure as hell am not going to believe an author whose sole proof is words they wrote in a book.

I can see why IE9 has a lot lower RAM use then Firefox or Chrome simply because it isn't designed to be cross platform. That alone gives it an advantage Firefox and Chrome don't have by relying on Windows Services that are already running to provide much of the functionality it needs. Granted IE9 isn't that bad (as…

Firefox has always been stable in memory use. Before yesterdays update to Firefox 7 it always floated around 400 MB of RAM very stably (seriously, what memory leak?) now it's even lower down to 250-300MB. Chrome commonly goes to a gig and higher (across all it's damn processes as Chrome has obviously never heard of…

Doesn't help that x86 is many times faster at the same clockspeed then ARM, most CISC (didn't remember what it was called in OP) CPU's will end up being faster then a RISC, and a lot of NAS servers tend to need the CPU power or it doesn't matter how fast the rest of the hardware is.

As much as I dislike Chrome because of it's damn forced tabs on top placement (and IE style menu buttons), I have mixed feelings about it. I like Chrome because it is helping to finally rid the world of IE by making it go the way of the floppy disk. I strongly dislike Chrome because they made Firefox adopt their…

+1 for the inspiration for snarky reply.

1. They aren't wild animals, they are bred for human consumption.

So you don't like cake? How is that possible? Are you telling me the cake was really a lie for you?

Only issue with cheap ones like this is that most of the time they are horrifically slow. A $50 atom motherboard in a mini-itx case running FreeNAS would run better then one of these things (and the damn slow as hell ARM chips they are using, servers deserve a full instruction set CPU not a RISC)

Prime example of a PETA idiot right here.

No, because they we don't have eggs. Or cake, or anything that involves tasty eggs.

This just failed so damn hard I couldn't leave it being pink. A chicken egg is NOT fertilized, it IS NOT a chicken fetus. A chicken wouldn't have EVER seen the light of day BECAUSE it would've NEVER hatched.
