  1. My condolences Chris.
  2. indeed http://camelcamelcamel.com/Sony-BDP-S580-Blu-ray-Player-Black/product/B004K1EOCA It would appear so http://camelcamelcamel.com/Sony-BDP-S570-Blu-ray-Disc-Player/product/B0036WS4D4
  3. I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave Non raided - as thats only for availability not backup. Not mission critical. Offline mirroring of the drives for backup ( theres an e-sata port and I have a e-sata drive dock for such a purpose the data is mostly static) . Allows for individual drives to spin/power down independently, or just be swapped out if theres an issue (or moved to another machine , or mounted externally etc) without delays in rebuilding an array. Meets my use case. For Now Now all I have to do is wait for storage to drop in price to pre flood levels. e.g. http://camelcamelcamel.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Desktop-WD20EARS/product/B002ZCXK0I?utm_campaign=chrome_ext&utm_medium=www&utm_source=product_link_ttp
  4. Plenty of material on YouTube. Quite the legacy. If you want some insight into the man and his life, you could do worse than his memoir Hitch 22 The local library had the unabridged version on 15 Cd's. All the better for the authors delivery and inflection. Plenty of Debates out there. I Liked the Munk debate on religion, if only to see Tony Blair get Hitchslapped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYMyxa5fysI&list=UUO2aPSqobmHAeeV7SOOEtIw&index=1&feature=plcp or a nice line about Sarah Palin
  5. Replaced the servers stock intel cooler with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus that was on special at newegg The case design of the R3 allowed me to do the swap in place. Nice. CPU Idles slightly cooler. Full load via Prime95 down from ~70o C to ~470C , no noisier, so worth it. A touch more air flow for the memory and drives (now labeled for maintenance ) as well.
  6. I was lucky enough to catch him in full force at a local bookshop on an authors tour. He was accompanied by a couple of miniatures of Black Label. So Long Hitch. http://www.newyorker...r-hitchens.html
  7. Happy Birthday Ax
  8. Or move it to where you can't hear it, and stream the audio data (using an asyncronous error correcting protocol with resend/retry) to a (buffered, with own local clock) silent device with no moving parts (obviously)? But where's the fun, upgrade upsell potential (and clicks) in a solved problem.
