Lift Fingerprints Like The Pros
Considering all the crime dramas that I watch on TV I think I would make a great crime scene investigator. Run a Q-tip on some blood, spray some cool looking mist on a carpet, insert a hair into a fancy machine, and way a gun around. Doesn’t sound so hard. I suspect that I’m not [...]

RAID Primer
Now that some of us got shinny new external hard drive units that support RAID I figured we might as well go through a basic RAID primer for all so everyone know the difference between 1, 0, and 5, I know it gets confusing.
