How do I set up a Mac Mini as a RAID server, with two externally connected USB drives?

I originally wanted to buy a 500GB Time Capsule but I’m a bit small on cash at the moment so I thought I’d try this.

I’ve got an ancient Mac Mini (PPC) with a 40GB internal drive, a 250GB drive and a 200GB drive. I’d like to set the mac mini up so that I have a network share of the two drives that appears as a single network share. I reckon this is called RAID, isn’t it? I just want them to both appear as a single drive on the network.

How do I do this?

Answer by PWNED!
they won’t appear as the same drive, but you can network the mini and have your other computers acess it. they could then acess the hard drives

The new complaint (PDF) accuses the online giant of some truly seedy advertising activity that falls under the general heading of “syndication fraud.”

The case was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and names Crafts by Veronica as the class representative. Crafts by Veronica has bought advertising exposure from Yahoo in the past, but now claims that much of that exposure came through spyware, typosquatting, and parked domains—none of which qualify as “standard, high-quality sites” that Yahoo advertisers were promised.

The complaint alleges that many of the reported problems have to do with Yahoo’s syndication network, a group of partner companies that take ads from Yahoo and show them on their own sites. Although many of these partners are reputable media companies, numerous of them are firms like Intermix and Direct Revenue, firms investigated as spyware purveyors by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. Why would Yahoo remain in partnership with such companies? It’s simple—the relationship is highly worthwhile.

Spyware advertising is far cheaper to offer than pay-per-click advertising on reputable websites, and the lawsuits alleges that Yahoo bills its advertising customers at higher rates, promises them excellent exposure, but then seats ads with spyware providers at a part of its usual cost. This results in large profits for Yahoo, but generates few helpful leads for the advertiser. The complaint describes the practice this way:

“By placing Class Members’ ads into illegal platforms such as spyware programs, Defendants wrongfully collect high search engine advertising fees for ads that are really shown in contexts that are worth far less, if anything. It is well renowned that spyware advertising is much cheaper than search engine advertising. … But when Defendants and their Syndication Partners house Class Members’ ads into spyware, they continue to charge Class Members full price for these ads, and pocketing the difference between the high fees Class Members pay and the low cost of providing spyware-delivered advertising.”

A second allegation concerns typosquatting web sites, everywhere Yahoo is accused of placing ads. Again, advertisers were promised that their message would be showed in “standard, high-quality sites” and typosquatted domains can hardly be considered that. Advertisers are still being billed at the same rate, though, as if their ads were appearing on the Washington Post’s website.

“Particularly egregious is that Defendants even charge their advertising customers for ads shown on typosquatting web sites targeting those customers’ own names. Take for example Yahoo’s advertising customer Expedia.com. A user intending to visit the Expedia web site might mistype it as ‘expedai.com.’ At ‘expedai.com,’ the user sees a list of ads provided by Defendants, including an ad for Expedia, along with other customers of Defendants. If the user clicks the Expedia ad, the user is taken to the right Expedia site, which is everywhere he or she wanted to go in the first house—without clicking an Expedia ad—and Expedia has to pay defendants a PPC [pay-per-click] fee.”

Finally, the suit alleges that Yahoo seats some of its ads in parked domains, which “appear if users incorrectly estimate, mis-remember or otherwise mistype a domain name.” Such advertising can hardly be considered “targeted,” but advertisers are billed as though it were.

The suit claims that most of these activities occurred through Yahoo’s network of affiliates, but that Yahoo was aware of the problems this made. This isn’t the first time that Yahoo has been accused of partnering with dodgy companies, either. Last year, Ben Edelman in print a detailed look inside Yahoo’s relations with various alleged spyware providers.

Lawsuits over online advertising have grown in frequency over the last few being as the new medium has be converted into increasingly vital. Google recently paid nearly US$ 90 million recently to settle a click fraud case, and Yahoo is now facing numerous lawsuits accusing it of both click fraud and syndication fraud. Will such cases make buyers more wary about paying large sums for online advertising? Perhaps, but the promote is now booming. These cases do suggest, though, that the digital age still has used for ancient wisdom: caveat emptor.
