    Synology DS207 2-Bay NAS Server

    Do you know if Synology devices can retain symlinks? I have been backing up to another NAS box that is unable to do so, but it's kind of important when backing up an entire Linux PC.

    Is the iPod touch the Buggiest Apple Product Ever?

    From our front-page news:Normally when Apple releases a new product, it's gobbled up by fans everywhere, with little known about bugs and oddities. However, with the iPod touch there was no such thing. This is one of the few Apple products in recent memory that has had an insane amount of...

    Is AMD Planning On Triple-Core Processors?

    From our front-page news: According to The Inq, AMD is readying three-core processors, which immediately prompts the question of.. why? The Inq insists this is not a rumor but solid "fact", but three-core CPUs just doesn't seem to make much sense. What I could see resulting from this is bad...

    New iPods Require iTunes, Breaks Linux Support

    From our front-page news: Planning to pick up a new iPod Nano/Classic/touch? You might want to re-think that purchase if you are a Linux user, as the latest models break support with all of the popular iPod synching applications.

    Microsoft Allows Students To Steal Office... For $59.95

    I was deliberately making it out to sound like $20 for Ultimate is expensive :-) Which it is. That said, I'm still hoping that SP1 will fix most of my main gripes. I installed Vista on my sisters PC as a "test"... I wanted to see if someone who is not a computer geek could handle Vista. She's...

    How is Tabula Rasa?

    That might be in part to it being a beta. Maybe NCsoft doesn't know how to handle betas. The Lineage 2 beta was absolutely awful... it was down every half-hour. Sometimes the game would work, but there were no mobs, heh.

    Sega Dreamcast Iomega Zip Drive On eBay

    I'd definitely take a good look at it when you get home... take pictures also if you can. I am very curious now. I have never been one for Molson Canadian... or most Canadian beer for that matter. It's odd, because I keep getting told that Canada has the best beer, but I have yet to find one...

    Sega Dreamcast Iomega Zip Drive On eBay

    Sounds fun man. What kind of Canuck beer were you drinking? I love in Canada and rarely ever have Canadian beer (except for Sleeman once in a while because it's delicious). I am still impressed that you own one of those drives. I thought I was a DC fanboi but apparently not, since I didn't...

    How is Tabula Rasa?

    I never did play the AA beta despite having access, so I am not sure about those issues. I played immediately after retail and didn't find things that buggy. I was actually impressed that I had so much fun solo. Got to level 30 or around there solo, which I liked. Too many MMO's force you into...
