So much for "Hope and Change". I was looking forward to the end of the Patriot Act, and the closing of Guantanamo Bay.

I say this as the United States Government is staging "advisors", on the border between Syria and Jordan. I guess our Government didn't learn much from Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Remember, the enemy of our enemy isn't necessarily our "friend".

I like how they link to the article about how they build up their pods. Really cool info for the novice storage builder trying to put something similar together for their small enterprise. Enough information to get you going, enough redacted so that you actually have to DIY.

Honestly, I wouldn't think twice about doing the same thing. They are purchasing the drives, not stealing them. For "some reason" costco is buying them in lots where they can distribute them at that price. I guess they were just leveraging Costco and Best Buy's buying power to keep their business afloat.

I attended the first six weeks, I feel horrible that I didn't finish. But life gets in the way; wife, kids, house, work. I am glad I earned a high quality education while I was young and had nothing better to do.

Palin sucks. Obama sucks. Bush sucks. McCain (while honorable in his military service) currently sucks. Boehner sucks. Reid sucks. We are in a country of >300M people and these are the best we can come up with.

Rights, who needs them. Now bend over while we inspect you for a rectum bomb. Warrant? We're the government we don't need no stinking warrant.

Not my problem. I married an American woman. I love the United States and prefer to travel domestic and to Canada.

I personally don't fly unless my employer forces me to. My 2 year old daughter will certainly not fly since the porno scanners have been installed. She has flown twice before the porno scanners were installed. My family has chosen to drive to our destinations the last couple of years. The TSA is a joke. Right after 9-11 when President Bush announced the TSA and Patriot Act, I knew we were in for a knee jerk reaction which won't solve anything. President Obama is just accelerating the stupidity.

Still waiting for my change. I am getting a little worried it isn't going to come.

Awesome, I am sick of hearing "You got mail" in the middle of my music. Stupid AOL users... I'm still waiting for iTorrent though.

You are talking about the EPCOT where nobody owns real property, and the corporation owns everything. You come home and there are new appliances there, because the corporation thinks you are ready for them. Where all of the residents work for the corporation in exchange for living in this Experimental Community. Yeah, sounds right where this country is headed... The wrong way.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of our knee-jerk reaction to 9/11. The enemy is winning when our government spends trillions to treat every American like they are criminals. They spend thousands of dollars and a dozen lives, and we spend trillions and tens of thousands of lives. I just don't think "we" are winning.

Don't even get me started about the trillions it cost to get one guy sitting on the floor watching TV with the protection of our "ally" Pakistan. Get nukes, now you are our ally.

Absolutely; we are spending until our credit card with China and other developing nations is maxed out. I was hoping that Mr. Obama would fix the mess that Mr. Bush got us into; guess I was wrong. Mr. Obama, where are the taxes on the rich you promised? What ever happened to "too big to fail is too big to exist"? Our government likes to add the prefix "Cyber" to anything that has to do with technology. Maybe I should just hang out drinking my Cyber-coffee using my Cyber-macbook, and finish doing my Cyber-tax return.

I don't google/bing/yahoo anything I would not want printed on the front page of the New York Times.... I think Glenn Beck is a nut, like the Y2Kers. I also don't think a multi-billion dollar company who's business is storing data; is on my side either!

Too bad we didn't crucify L. Ron Hubbard...
