The basic question is in the title. Here are the particulars of what I have: I bought a 3TB WD MyBook external HDD (USB 3.0) with the intention of connecting it to the USB port on my router to share on my home network, for file sharing and a DLNA media server. I was disgusted to find out the hard way that my router at the time supported less than 1TB through the USB port. Then I had internet problems, that Shaw eventually solved my replacing the old cable modem with a brand new top-of-the-line combined modem/wireless router (with gigabit Ethernet) made by Arris (Motorola), which doesn't have USB. I want to get the extHDD on my network, to be shared by all the laptops, iThings, and TV's in the house. There are no desktop PC's in the house, so sharing it through a PC isn't an option. I also don't want to spend much more than Cdn$100, if possible. I've looked at various options, mostly NAS enclosures with USB expansion ports., such as a Dlink DNS-320L or a TrendNet TN-200, which are only USB 2. A little research has shown that gigabit is faster than USB 2.0, so I would prefer a USB 3.0 device to connect my eHDD to my router/modem. I also saw other USB NAS devices for this purpose, such as in this article Bottom line: Can someone suggest or recommend a decent, affordable device to connect a USB 3.0 external HDD to a gigabit router? Or in practical use will a 2.0 device be good enough? Note: While we mostly use wireless around the house, I can hardwire some devices and plug in my laptop when necessary for max ethernet speed.

Yeah, wait until you can put ion drives on a tiny probe, or Alt-F12 cheat and turn on infinite fuel for the probe you already launched. Or force completion (I don't think you get paid for that) to clear it off your contract list.

How many faces did you want? Edit: Cranked up graphics

From looking closely at the image, it appears the top port may not be perfectly aligned (very slightly rotated). Do you have "NavyFish Docking Alignment Indicator"? That also has a rotation alignment on it, although that may not help with this square setup. Try to undock that top part, give it a slight twist, then quicksave. When you quickload, it should reset the ports and they should snap together. *Disclaimer: I haven't used the quickload trick myself, but I've read on these forums that it works. Also, you may want to use alt-f5 first so you can go back to where you started if things go wrong. Alt-f9 lets you choose what to quickload.

And how did they make it home?

Data? Digital data?

Sorry it's later than 0.23, and may be hard to read during a quick clip, but I can't resist offering up this

I'm not sure how much more powerful the game RW's are, but the unrealistic thing about them is that they don't saturate. That means they can continue applying torque in the same direction forever. In real life, reaction wheels trying to do that would have to keep spinning faster and faster and faster, and eventually something would fail, either the bearing would seize or the wheel itself would fly apart from centrifugal force. Or the motor would be unable to accelerate the wheel any faster (fail-safe)

Duna? Mars?

I've done that a few times. Hit "space" with the engines at half power (or completely off), hit max power as I touch the pad and launch in a blaze of glory as the pad explodes around me

A tesseract? quantum data/foam? string theory? TV guide/programming schedules? A panda?

Computer storage: RAM, ROM, optical storage, flash, HDD? Or maybe Dr. Who?

I landed on (docked with?) Gilly, and sent my kerbal on EVA. As I left him hanging on the ladder doing reports and collecting experiments, he slowly drifted up the ladder. When he reached the top of the lander can, the Hell Kraken struck and everything went black. So I quickloaded the quicksave I made as soon as I had touched down, and did the same thing. Sure enough, the HK struck again. So the next quickload I got him the hell off that ladder and onto the surface, and everything went fine from there.

You know, I hadn't actually seen a picture of a Mariner probe until you mentioned it. With all that hardware on it, it does look like an Okto2-based probe. But these MMS's look like nothing more than on Okto2 with antennas

Just gotta pump enough laser energy into it....

On March 12 Nasa will launch a stack of 4 Okto2 probe cores into space, but for some reason they are called MMS's. Something about them actually being Magnetospheric MultiScale Observatories, or some such.

They don't want you coming home; you're taking anti-aircraft fire

After landing on Eve: either "Help!" or "Home sweet home..."

One common tactic is to place cubic octagonal struts above and below a joint (docking port, decoupler, stack separator: docking ports are weak btw) in at least 4x symmetry, and strut across the joint between them. In 8x symmetry you can also "cross-stitch" them for extra strength.
