$500? That's expensive for a fileserver, unless you've filled it with $350~450 worth of (SAS/SATA) TB HDDs. You don't need new hardware for a fileserver, buying used (server) hardware is cheaper and usually far more effective (You get HDDs with the hardware).

Be sure to run a fileserver in RAID5/6 if you have the hardware to do it (Get a hardware RAID card instead of software RAID, saves CPU cycles).

Don't run windows on a fileserver, it takes took much space and gives you too little control over your system. Linux takes up less space and you have far better control, plus thousand of tutorials explaining how to set-up fileservers.

I drop by from time to time.

Kane's right, there hasn't been any explanation of why Shiba Kaien and Ichigo look the same and have the same personality.

The Iron Man one is the better of the two. I'm looking forward to the final result.

I'm watching it.

/b/ is 4chan's random board. :/

You haven't heard of 4chan and /b/? Interesting.

Magnet men, eh? It's been a while since I saw that one posted here. I guess we're lucky TC doesn't visit 4chan's /b/ on regular basis or else we'd be drowning in those images.

Anyway, a new female member? I wonder how long she'll last...

There aren't any rules. Take the word "Truthiness" for example, it was coined by Stephen Colbert who merely proclaimed it and it got accepted.

Or the English loan word "Anime" which got accepted into mainstream English while it's a shortened version of the Japanese word for animation (animēshon), which in turn is a phonetic transcription of the English word animation.

Another example would be the words made up by physicists, chemists, mathematicians, engineers, etc..

Basically it all boils down to coining the word and other people liking it enough to use it.

I predict a few deaths early on to show us how serious the tone of this series is. And there will be a few shipping moments, with some of the female love-interests dying so the hero gets an emo powerboost.

All hail Lelouch! Also, C.C.'s back!

Code Geass: R2, ep 22.

Not really, she was shown in the flashback to be shy and timid (iirc she was (sex-)slave). Her Geass gave her confidence ("If I could only make one friend/ally ...") and her subsequent immortality made her cynical. Scratch those memories and you've got the slave C.C. back.

Anyway, it didn't seem strange to be since it's a logical outcome of her losing her memories of after she acquired her Geass. It's kinda comparable to a coma patient waking up decades after going into coma and having to adapt to a new world, or a person with amnesia who lost a few years, and kinda comparable to a person with dementia.

It doesn't do anything like that. The thing is that most clients have "anti-leech" protection which couples download speed to the upload speed you're making available. Ergo, when you lower your upload speed it'll limit your download speed as to protect the swarm from leeches who download but don't upload.

There are clients, like BitTyrant iirc, that have very low upload settings while getting high speeds from the torrent swarm. It's why those clients are usually banned from the trackers as to protect the other people using the torrents.

But, there is something which can have a huge impact on your speeds: Throttling. There are ISPs out there that throttle download speeds from torrents as to discourage people using it due to the massive amount of connections opened by torrents. To beat this you might try to use encryption which is currently provided by most, if not all, of the major torrent clients.

And on the note of speed: Fastest speeds are attained by getting access to (private) trackers which enforce share ratios to ensure a torrent stays healthy.

C.C.'s change has to do with the events that took place at the temple. She's reverted back to her persona before she made the geass contract and as such she doesn't remember the times when she had her geass and her subsequent immortality. I guess she gets it back once her "true" wish is granted by Lelouch or when Lelouch gets immortal and gives her back her memories.
