Apple's "Time Machine" Now For Linux... Sort Of
deander2 writes "Apple's 'Time Machine' is cool, but I use Linux, not MacOSX. So here is a Linux implementation (built off of rsync, of course). No fancy OpenGL, but quite functional none-the-less."
...But will it run on Vista? you make the assumption that Vista runs.Anybody want my mod points?
Sure am ;) I just find that kind of "In the beginning there was Apple .. then everybody started copying it" Appleboy talk fun.

Just to clear this up for everyone:
Computers do not have sexy interfaces. Neither do phones or mp3 players.
A sexy interface is pink, and moist, and warm, and throbs gently. It occasionally releases strange sounds, odd odors and fluids of various colors. It comes with no manual to operate, and apparently many people never figure them out properly, however, it is a great deal of fun to experiment with them.
I absolutely love sexy interfaces, and I'm going to go enjoy one right now.
If you'd like a sexy interface of your own, here's a hint. They doesn't come from Apple.

I think you've got that backwards. Exposure to Perl almost certainly causes ill health, not cures it.

Do you have ESP?
It's not just a goofy-3d-zooming-thingy. You can zoom through space, find the image you want, then drag-n-drop items right through the goofy-3d-zooming-thingy. That makes it a cool-as-shit-goofy-3d-zooming-thingy that's also functional. BTW: tell your Mom to type "cp /mnt/backup/11-01-07/path/to/file/file ~/" and she'll probably wash your mouth out with soap! Tell her to find what she deleted and drag it to her desktop and Mommy will bake you brownies! Mmmmm...brownies!
Half as well.
And when I use incorrect French on a French website, you're welcome to correct me. I'd rather write correctly, thanks.
Which reminds me... I know I had your mom's phone number here someplace.

That's right. See you at 8, kiddo.
People are actually using vista/longhorn/2003?
It's a UNIX system! I know this!
Hmmm. Guess I'll find out how good the interface to Time Machine is as soon as I get past Leopard's shiny new Blue Screen interface.
;-D
