If you like StarShipSofa, you'll love Escape Pod.

Escape Pod does a free weekly science fiction podcast, but they pay authors for use of the stories.

I've been using an old P3 with 2TB of space as a media server for a couple of years now.. But it's just awful having this tower case in the living room. (I too planned to rip all of my DVDs, but somehow it got filled up with other media before I got to that :) )

I would love to replace my current setup with a nice small consumer NAS box but the solutions I've seen are too constricting.

If only there was a product that supported 6-8 drives or one that could be expanded by attaching a second unit... I would buy it.

It might be the holiday season talking, but I was immediately reminded of this Toothpaste For Dinner strip: Nerds Need To Learn

It's also not the only one - Joystiq has about a dozen different videos embedded on this page: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/22/dont-move-hacked-mario-world-levels-play-themselves/
