Labels vs. Folders

Couldn’t agree more, Rafe on Labels versus folders, labels win. I have fallen in love with del.icio.us labels and started experimenting with them in Thunderbird, dumbing everything into one folder with lots of labeling.
Now if I could just do the same with my home direcory or My Documents. And if MovableType made it easier to label/categorize. Well Thunderbird needs more than 5 label options.

cgi-force_redirect

Note to self, PHP on windows:

; cgi.force_redirect is necessary to provide security running PHP as a CGI under
; most web servers. Left undefined, PHP turns this on by default. You can
; turn it off here AT YOUR OWN RISK
; **You CAN safely turn this off for IIS, in fact, you MUST.**
; cgi.force_redirect = 1
cgi.force_redirect = 0

Windows Security Update CD

Order the Windows Security Update CD and why is this not going to be on the checkout counter of every computer retailer? Sure it would cost but isn’t that a required expense of selling a defective product?

The Million dollar question

Steve Ballmer On Microsoft’s Future

Most analysts think the price of Windows to our hardware customers, people like Dell Inc. (DELL ), is about 50 bucks. If you stop and think about it, most people are going to own their PCs for four years. So do we offer $12 a year of value where you can run tremendously more applications, it’s tremendously easier to take care of? It’s $12 a year when people are spending $90 to $100 a month on cell-phone bills, and we’re talking about saving you hours and hours of time. I think it’s a pretty good value proposition, myself.

Which assumes that the customer is the consumer when in reality it is Dell. Now $12/year for how many MILLIONS of desktops, laptops and servers. So the real question, Does Windows provide $12,000,000 of value each year to Dell?

Network Attached Storage

Firstly I know that what I’m looking for can be done DIY with pretty much any Linux distribution but the solution should be something that survives if I’m gone.
I’m looking for a Network Attached Storage(NAS) solution. It will need to support SMB, NFS, FTP and HTTP have a built in or easily attached tape backup, have at lease a web based administration and be a plug in and forgetabout it, except for changing daily tape backups. There should also be at lease 2 drives RAID’d for redundacy. Linksys has something close, the EtherFast� Network Attached Storage but no apparent tape backup option.
So anyone have some good suggestions?
