Insync has a small GUI that you can open that shows you, visually, what files are being synced. I've used it for years now with no complaint between several computers (desktop and laptop) and the files are just there. The bigger ones take a little longer but with 1gbit network it is almost instantaneous.

Really? You are making this about immigrants? I am here on a H1B visa and if I lose my job then I will get deported within 24 hours. I will lose my house. I will lose my car. I will lose everything I worked for after I came to the states. You can start a business and fail and all you get is a bad credit score. If I start a business and fail I lose everything!

All the other elements to playing Jeopardy can be easily solved. These guys are handling language processing. That is no small feat in itself. Try RTFA. It helps to appreciate what was done here.

They reproduce asexually. Hasn't that been the only option for geeks for some time now?

Here's a tip: don't friend your boss. Seriously. He doesn't need to know what you do n your own time.

This is overwhelmingly not ironic!

I think the number of hollywood shows available on a given box will be the deciding factor. I hope UI will be the deciding factor, but I fear it won't.

Last time I checked Snow Leopard was only about $29. You might want to spend your time on something slightly more profitable than fighting for a refund for that particular item...

There's always somebody who'd only be interested if they can get a lot of luxury goods for very little money. What makes you think you are in Apples target audience?
