In many ways, this is the perfect picture to describe the console situation in Japan. The Nintendo Wii and Ds are both sold out, Sony (not really but metaphorically speaking) is trying to get people to buy their PS3 and the Xbox 360 is no where to be seen. I’d say you couldn’t craft a more perfect picture!

This tutorial shows how you can set up a network-attached storage server with FreeNAS. FreeNAS is based on the FreeBSD operating system and supports CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC, SSH, local user authentication, and software RAID (0, 1, 5). It comes with a powerful web interface and uses very little space on the hard drive - about 32MB.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

When Microsoft officially announced that DirectX 10 (DX10) would only be available for Windows Vista, many gaming fans yearning to be on the bleeding edge were upset. In order to get the most from their video cards, users would have to upgrade their operating systems to Vista. Some have attributed Microsoft’s decision to be purely based on marketing, but that’s not entirely the case. What other factors were in play?

SCE UK commercial director Jowett has been something of a stalwart within the PlayStation division of Sony. He took over as sales director from Doug Goodwin back in 1998 and has played an integral role within the organisation since then, in particular working closely with retailers over stock allocations on PS2, PSP and, more recently, PS3. He has also taken a keen interest in general retail issues such as pricing and the second-hand games market.

UPDATE: 9 More Hewlett-Packard Company Secrets From A Former Employee
A former Hewlett-Packard worker could barely wait for their non-disclosure-agreement to end so they could spill 14 company secrets to The Consumerist.
1: Many HP Printers, like their laser printers, have a built-in page-count after which they won’t work. This resides in the a transpart sometimes called image or drum kit. Rather than get the printer fixed, it’s often cheaper to buy a new printer, OR you can do a NV ram reset. It resets everything in the printer, including all the page counts, but it’s not without risks.

Back in September I revived my MiniITX box to serve as a backup server. I set up BackupPC, ran it once, it seemed to work, and then ignored it for weeks. When I checked back, it hadn’t run successfully since. Ugh, I want backups to just work!
A few nights ago I decided to try again, this time dropping the constraint of not installing software on my laptop. Turns out I already had the building block I needed: rsync, installed in the form of Cygwin.
I began with these Rsync for Windows instructions, and everything went smoothly until the very end—rsync on Windows wasn’t connecting to rsync on Ubuntu. My gut told me rsync’s port 873 isn’t open on Ubuntu, but I had no idea how to open ports anymore. Luckily I found How to start rsync daemon at boot in the Ubuntu forums which told me exactly what I needed to know.

Devshed articles have been a great resource for php-learners to learn php techniques very quickly and easily. A similar article on making a RSS (Rich Site Summary) has been posted on Devshed.
In this article we are going to discuss how to create a PHP-based RSS reader. It would be helpful if you know something about XML, but not really necessary. RSS documents have three main tags: Title, You can read the rest of this awesome article at http://www.devshed.com/c/a/MySQL/Creating-an-RSS-Reader-the-Reader/

Linux is the clear winner out of a dispute between the Russian legal authorities and schools over who should carry the can over the use of pirated Windows software. Russian schools in the area are so scared about being shipped off to a Siberian Gulag, that they are buying Linux gear instead.

If the company you work for spends more than an hour a week in meetings you just might have the organisational version of analysis paralysis. While it is perfectly natural to want to spend time planning, especially one with an element of risk, there comes a point where any more thinking is counter-productive and you need to start making progress.
