@vinod1978: Good point. My brother is a airline mechanic and I can see where drawing a schematic on the display and then looking through the display to match it up to the physical part would help. But we are no where there yet. Till then it's purpose for the consumer is meh.

@lankysob: My thoughts exactly. It's all good and fun till some hairy chap forgets his screen is clear.

@QMurphy: I can explain it. But it's pretty obvious.

@haran_elessar: Hush, this is Giz. If it ain't fruit it ain't shizznit.

i've never understood the idea of a clear background. So you can see your lap while you chat it up online?

In that last pic with all those Seagate HD's I cried a little. Then laughed.

@linuxpirates: I have to disagree. I was always the paper and pen guy till LH put me on Onenote for my tablet for class. But don't get me wrong, the moleskin and pen are much faster. Either way great article.

@glaeven: I am 33yrs old back in school for programming, I also work for a big tech company. Would love to follow your wave.

@robio376: I really shouldn't be saying this. But honestly you've helped me get promoted to Gold support at my job. They've tried to fire me 4 times for not following protocol (manual), I always do my best go the extra mile to help. Your timely response's have given me a greater knowledge personally and…

@TheFu: My main concern was redundancy and speed. That site breaks it down very well. Thanks Again!

@TheFu: Had to add on got a timeout error:

@TheFu: Thats a good eye-opening read on software vs. hardware raid. I always figured that if the raid was built in to the motherboard as mine is, that it would be ideal. But alas, you have no control with the firmware that vendors supply. And software raid spanning over different (type) disks is a plus. I never…

@TheFu: My router is GigE and N+ Wireless, and my laptops have N cards, and all the pc's are now GigE.

@10pound: If it doesn't use the cloud why do you need a internet connection?

@TheFu: There you go again with your Tech-Fu style! Lovin' it!

I think it depends on what you are trying to share across your network. Music, photo's, and documents are fine across a simple 100mbit, wireless b-g network. But with HD content becoming mainstream you really want a separate box to handle it. I've tried sharing my mkv, BR-rips, HD shows from my personal pc across my…

@robio376: Nevermind, wasn't a LH post.

How did I miss the Dropbox Lan sync article? Thanks Again Lifehacker!

@BrandonDees: Actually what I wrote was just a fix to get Windows MBR back. His Ubuntu partition is still there until he deletes it in Windows. But to use the Windows MBR you can do it by modifing the [boot.ini] in msconfig. Have a read here

@h4nn4h: The recovery disks you made are essentially reinstall disks with the manufactures preloaded drivers, software, and such. If you want to reinstall just put in the first disk you made and boot from it. That should delete grub and format and recover your harddrive to what it was when you recieved it.
