Yup, the outsourcing worries me... it makes it hard to manage my domains consistently. For one of mine they use e-nom, and the process to manage my domain is a little arduous. But so far not too bad, and cheap. I just home Google has enough clout to keep them in check.

Store it upright in a bookshelf amongst books. Worked for us. Also a writing desk (that can close) is a nice quaint workspace.

haha... sucker! (We, sadly, have the same problem...)

Damn, I used to play pool at Stones back in South Africa as a kid. I love SciFi set around the culture I grew up in. My first SciFi book I read was from a South African author named Jan Rabie called "Swart ster oor die Karoo" (Black star over the Karoo) while I was in a little farm village in the Karoo... blew my mind.

Then again, I'm using Android, and providers tend to charge for Facetime and not Google Talk.

Am I missing something but is it not cheaper to buy the phone outright and going onto a T-Mobile prepaid plan that has unlimited* data for a total of $30/month? It only has 100 mins of calling, but I hardly ever call and use data for voice mostly anyway. At this rate I can buy new phones cash sooner AND I'm not…

Yup, I "emerged" gcc, vim, xterm on my Synology. It *is* more expensive, but I got it after having trouble with FreeNAS (And I consider myself a unix variants expert). I'm happy with being a user and not a system it guy anymore ;)

It's slow. See http://marcoschuh.de/wp/?p=891

I have t-mobile's prepaid plan for $30/month. I save so much money I can buy a new phone every year cash. It has "unlimited data" meaning you get 5Gb at 4G speeds after that it is unlimited at 3G.

While FreeNAS is a great attempt to create a good server, I found it to be a bit lacking in configuration options and ease-of-use with regards to installation, setup and maintenance.

Three things that annoyed me right out of the box:

Why would you use anything other than VIM on any system?

Vote: G-Ear

I've got all my music in Google Music, I'm a Mac/Android user, so for mobile I'm sorted with the basic Android music app, but on desktop Mac I was never happy with the standard web based player, but in the meantime I discovered G-Ear in the Apple App store... works pretty well.

Have 2 analogue watches and 3 digital. Love them all to bits. I find my Suunto X6 to be the most readable, but the Casio Pathfinder to be the most rugged and least maintenance.

Until it breaks (again). It has all the features, and their mice are great, but from what I've read they keyboards are not solid enough.

At this price however, is is still preferred?

X11? No thank you.

I have one of them, and was using it on my iMac. I also have a Das Keyboard (Mac version) as well as a Normal wired Apple Keyboard. All good.

Interestingly enough there is a direct correlation found in studies between the price of shoes and the amount of foot injuries. Cheaper shoes were better, so I agree with the original poster... price does not necessarily mean better. I own a G7, MX51X, Various Razer Mice, MS Habu, RAT 7 and a Apple Magic Mouse... my…
