    A Hackintosh is definitely more work, but it's not as bad as others make it seem. Recent software makes it really easy to install. It gets complicated as your setup gets more complicated (RAID, for example), but if you're going for a normal build with supported hardware on a single hard drive, I think you're in for

    They're Moo's basic stock. They have an awesome feel. We get compliments on them all the time. They feel almost like playing cards, with a similar thickness, but slightly lighter. I can't speak highly enough of Moo.

    I have never experienced this problem at Starbucks, and I've worked at all different ones. I've never even seen a Starbucks employee approach a customer, paying or not. They also never limit wifi at their company-owned locations (which are most of them, I believe all of the stand-alone stores are company-owned).

    Ha, not calling you a moron!

    Well that's because you're not a moron. Microsoft is clearly trying to corner the moron market with Windows 8. That's the only possible reasoning behind such a hideous, dumbed down interface.

    Ha, was getting that same vibe from this, too.

    This article offers some fantastic advice that anyone looking for a job should consider. While your skills may independently be pretty common, the intersection of those common skills often becomes fairly unique. I've seen many people become very successful catering to very specific markets because of their unique

    Thank God is right!

    When he says this is what they do "right here in our restaurant", is he referring to McDonald's, or some other restaurant?

    Right, exactly - that's why motherboard raid sucks. A good hardware RAID card is the best option for both speed and the ability to rebuild it if the thing fries, but software RAID gets you the latter benefit at the cost of speed for the cool price of $0, which is great for a homebuilt budget NAS where awesome RAID

    haha you hit the nail on the head! I'd consider myself a grammar nazi, but only when the mistake is clearly out of ignorance and not just a mistake. I feel bad for anyone who has enough time to proofread every comment they leave around the Internet - especially on a site that consistently makes grammar and spelling

    Real hardware RAID is fine, it's certainly faster. The problem arises when the card blows out and you need to find another one that can reassemble the array. You don't really run into this issue with cards from good manufacturers, like yours - but it's a very real problem with motherboard RAID.

    While RAID certainly isn't a backup solution and shouldn't replace one - it can reduce your susceptibility to drive failure. That's just pure probability.

    +1 for software RAID, lots of people get sucked into the fake "hardware" RAID on their motherboards.

    I think LH just trolled all of us.

    I'm wondering this myself, seems very arbitrary to me - unless on 1/7 they're rolling out some patch that'll fix it, but the support doc doesn't mention an update being required.

    Prediction: flop.
