  1. Local Usenet Mirror, with 100 day retention. Probably need a very high-speed connection to an internet backbone for faster mirroring. Storage goes without saying. Gig ethernet with lots of hardwire links locally.

    Then add a nice recording studio setup for fiddling around with electronic music for months on end. Probably 4-5 iMacs, loaded with software like Pro-Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reason, Cubase, and 20-30 of the best hardware synths money can buy, not to mention CDJs, and mixers to play with other peoples tracks.

    HI-FI Digital monitoring/Home theater audio setup goes without saying.

    I'm going to need one of those multi-touch tables from Microsoft, and top of the line digital photography and video equipment along with some Runco 1080p projectors.

    I'll also need a render farm to encode all the 1080p video I take from my many trips to the edges of the earth. An IBM System Z mainframe should be sufficient.

    Out back I'm going to need a large RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator) to use as a power source.

    This setup will be located on the big island of Hawaii, with a fiber link to the Keck observatory for some midnight star gazing. I also require hard links into CIA and NSA databases so I can do background checks on the people that I meet, or research on political issues around the world.

    Hm, well I guess that's a start.

    Ilove the background check part.

  2. Does anyone have a guide or tutorial on how to get my RSS feed to pick certain torrents to download by themselves.

    Because I have the feed coming in showing me what shows are available to download. But I want it so that I can open it say wensday and automatically start downloading the shows i missed from Monday and then open up my zune program and sync it up.

  3. I'll join the list of free food/booze while fixing friend/family computers. I also spent one semester pretty tanked when I setup a sign in the campus bar for free computer help and physics tutoring so long as they kept the draught flowing.

    On the more monetary side I once had a really nice and cool business man take me to lunch at a fancy restaurant with him and his wife while few pcs where formatting and installing windows. Best part was he picked up the tab and paid me the same hourly rate for the time we were eating. :D

    Haha that is sick. Im looking to start doing some tech work for people, I posted an AD on craigslist. And I'll probably do free PC fix's for friends and family.

  4. There is no point to post this. They aren't going to change for someone who is going to abandon them. Why post this and leave and not see the resposes and actually contribute and make your own projects. People are aloud to ask questions in the questions section. If you don't like it then don't complain and just leave.

  5. From what I hear it's a good field to get into. The college I want to attend will cover all aspects of basic programming, web development/design, and system administration. So that leaves me with a couple of directions to go. So you can try out the web design field and say it sucks then go to the sys admin route and say you love it.

  6. Yeah now that you explain it all out it sounds more like a pain in the ass than anything fun or interesting. I probably won't do it all. I might just reformat the drive and throw it in my new machine and use it for music, videos, and pictures. So then if I ever need to get a new machine I can just swap it in.

  7. Okay So I am going to build a PC soon, and would like to take a bit for bot copy of my current laptop HDD and load it onto the new HDD. I know you're saying, why not just backup and re-download programs. But I wanted to try something a little different.

    So I saw on an episode of Hak5 that using Helix and other tools Chris Gerling got bit for bit of an HDD. Can this work in my situation? Or is this just way too much work for something so stupid?

  8. Well Since my laptop is only 1.3ghz with 1gb of ram and is 3+ years old to me it can't handle fancy effects and backgrounds and still perform the way I need it too. So I just made weird configurations and that's what came out. But don't worry one I get my car within the next couple months I'm going to put together my own rig.
