New Two-Headed Hard Drive Intended To Secure Web Sites
dlur writes: "This article states that Scarabs (In Japanese), a Japanese company, is developing a hard drive with two heads, one read-only and another that is read/write. With this comes two cables, the read-only side going to the external web server, and the r/w cable going to an internal protected server. While this should make it quite a bit tougher for script kiddies to place their mark on a page, I doubt it will stop any real hackers from getting to a site's DB as that would still need to be r/w."
First a 60-foot squid, now a mutant two-headed hard drive. What next, the announcement of the Bearded Lady Linux distro?

And standard Earth Gravity now has a value of 8.8m/s/s.
Up.
And don't try to fill up a garbage bag anytime soon. I've been playing with volume. They're now "Garbage Bags of Holding."
Not exactly a good solution for a high-volume site, though. Can you imagine /. being served from a CD-ROM ?
i'm amazed that i survived - an airbag saved my life.
A reboot is "only slightly more convenient" than a system restore? Exactly what is your reboot procedure? Does it involve chants, incantations, burning of incense, animal sacrifice, etc? Kind of like saying repainting my car is only slightly more convenient than simply going through a carwash. :)

What a party pooper. Here we are having a perfectly ;.)
good time talking about something we know absolutely
nothing about and along comes an educated person that
decides to spoil the party with a little knowledge.
Damn you and all of your technology.
Yeah, and some dumb overclocker kid at the colo puts a UV cold cathode in there cause it 'looks cool' and erases the whole fuckin thing. :)
Neat idea, in all seriousness.
Hey Taco! Looks like you're using the "infinite monkeys and typewriters" scheme to generate Ask Slashdots again...
