    Batch resizing photos and how *YOU* handle storing them

    Best IDE for php?

    As a non-compiled language, PHP is a bit simple for an IDE. If notepad doesn't float your boat then any simple program with syntax highlighting should work. If you use Linux I really like Gedit. Your best bet for debugging is to turn on error reporting in the php.ini file.

    How do you feel about Refurbish hard-drives?

    Good choice going with Seagate, you cant beat a 5 year warranty. RAID 5 is nice, but redundancy does not equal backup. Refurb or not, i always have at least one drive that is dedicated to backing up data to protect against faulty hardware or a family members mistake. If it dies reinstalling...
