Stupid Torrent clients. My HDDs are 50% more full now.
Good thing I got that Digital Video Disc Creation Unit. I think I need a mirrored set of 400GB Seagate SATAs or something.

They seem to have a much better price-point, so I may go with mirrored 300s instead. It'll be a little bit though.

I think people will be big into BTX when they are big into dual core procs.

The debate has been raging since their inception in the mid 90s. I think Versatile is more appropriate.

Can you imagine the ISP radar? The internet would be one gigantic blip. I don't think you have anything to worry about. It just doesn't seem economically profitable for an ISP to track heavy bandwidth. Are they sniffing your packets? Just tell them you are really, really into porn. You work for an ISP - how much do they really care?

The ISP usually doesn't care until you get a letter from Ted Turner, or Electronic Arts legal department.
