So should we stop downloading/seeding this damaged version of the DVD?
-
One of the best shows yet! I love how Alli threw in a GoDaddy promo at the end of her heartfelt goodbye letter.
I like the two version DVD idea. Any idea on the cost for the paid version?

As Harrison said, "Hosting companies are responsible for data integrity."
If the company cannot provide a stable platform for your data OR backups, then you're really SOL. And that's what FileFarmer did. They could not provide access to the hak5.tv domain, so Darren couldn't even access the forum database, or remote backups. All he has is an outdated local backup. "Well, why didn't he backup more often?", you ask? Because it's a lot harder to download a backup over a cable/DSL line than it is for the host to backup to mag tape locally automatically with a cronjob. So Nikon, don't defend them because you are in the same industry.
Now take Dreamhost. They have a three teired backup system. Hourly backups are made to a local HD, which is physically disconnected between backups. And daily backups of every machine are made to tape stored offsite, on a weekly rotation. And finally, a RAID-5 harvester keeps 2 weeks of backups. Those backup snapshots can be accessed by the user directly, or dreamhost customer support can restore the files for you. And they're cheaper than you, Nikon!
(not fair, I know; you're a reseller, so different market)The argument that webhosts shouldn't be responsible because it is an industry with tight margins is BS. There should be a standard level of reliability and redundancy built-in. If you charge a little more because your customer service is more accessible (usually the largest cost for a webhost), then that's fine. That's a legitimate market; users who need more one-on-one assistance and are willing to pay for it.
But if you sacrifice basic data integrity and a weak backup schedule so you can charge less than the next guy, than you won't be in business for long.
And Nikon, I'm sure your hosting and graphics community are great; just don't go defending FileFarmer. :)

It would be cool however if you guys gave an offical statement instead of just ignoring it.

As for the Pandora "are you still there?" problem, I had the same thing when the Firefox window was not selected. Try selecting that window, and it should go until your HD is full!
I don't know about the naming problem. The only wierd thing that happened to me was I got one song twice (same name, same song). Maybe it actually played twice?

My point was that ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure your data is backed up safely. If you're not willing to take any responsiblity for it, then you're reliant upon whatever mechanisms are in place with your provider.
I guess we know not to use your hosting company, given your stance on the "responsibility of the provider".
www.creationstorm.com = backups are your problem!

That java pandora app, although a simple idea, is AWESOME!
I've been listening to Pandora for a long time, and have been simply copying the newest access-1,2,3, etc. file, and renaming it by hand.
This simple app saves me so much time. I hope they don't find out about it and break it...
As for the rest of the show....some screenshots of the ipTV apps would have been nice while you talked about them. After all, this is video. If you just want to talk about them, do a podcast, and save the bandwidth.
And the RF modulator thing was a great idea. I need to try it some day.

That's my suggestion.

So is this the new home of the Hak5 forums, or are these temporary?

Hak5 DVD: Best of Season One
in Hak5
Posted
Torrent just finished, and the replacement VOBs are in place. Everything seems to be working fine.
And...the DVD is awesome! Really great graphics, tons of special features (my favorite is the BTS), and, of course, DVD quality of my favorite segments!
And where did all the original music come from?
Only complaint: I'm having a tough time figuring out the code for the 3rd egg. I just have no clue where to start.
