Because I can't do a RAID 5, I pay for MozyHome instead (US$4.95/mth) to backup all my important stuff over the internet. That is in addition to an external HDD backup. I love online backup because it insures against losses caused by fire/theft/etc. Paranoia is good. lol this is a win.

PHX.GBL is the domain that all of Microsoft's internet-facing servers (in the US, at least) are joined to. MSN, Hotmail, MSN/Live Messenger, Live Search/Bing are all hosted on servers in this domain. I don't know why connections to Messenger go straight through to .phx.gbl, since everything else is forwarded through their walls of F5's.

Word is that you now can't purchase iTunes songs in India, even if you have a US account! It looks at the IP address. Meaning that if a US traveller comes to India, he can't purchase songs legally with money that he has as a gift card. I'm not sure how true this is - I'll only find out when I get back to India. How are we supposed to purchase legit songs online when there's no avenue for doing so? Couldn’t agree more! Word is that you now can’t purchase iTunes songs in India, even if you have a US account!
