Just because people arent telling you what you want to hear doesnt mean we didnt read your question. In short you are an idiot for not hashing/CRC your backups to begin with and for having a 9 month old backup. You have a shit sandwich and are asking us where you should start on it and we are telling you that its a sandwich of shit, it doesnt matter where you start is going to be a fucking mess. If your backup wasnt so old you could restore from it and call it a day instead of playing digital archaeologist.
LOL at you thinking an associates or even a bachelor's equals educated. It means they went somewhere for 2-4 years and at the end of it someone handed them a piece of paper. It really proves very little in the modern world.
It is wrong ot view the telecomms as purely private entities. They 100% rely on governmental approval for right of way and wireless spectrum. We should be able to exercise more control over them. They should be treated just like we do electrictiy, gas, water etc. A guaranteed percentage of profit and nothing more.
Your understanding of evolution is off. Crocodiles have been evolutionary stagnant for millions of years. Evolution is the process of genetic mutations creating subtle variations in lifeforms. In extremely rare cases a subject has the right mutation to affect his entire species and an evolutionary change occurs. While optimization does occur, its doesnt do so in the direct manner you suggest.
You assume that the current framework is ethical. Rationalize mind abuse all you want its still mind abuse. Copyright holders assert far too many rights, one of which is that once they let the cat out of the bag, they presume they can stuff it back in anytime they desire. Maximization of profit is not a strong enough reason to allow the current abusive system to continue.
IM not going to get into an argument over absolutes. For most people in the 90s, you flat out could not source a pre-built computer without a windows tax on it unless you assembled it yourself.
No what im saying is that if the government feels that its important enough to legislate me having to wear a seatbelt in a steel cage, perhaps we should outlaw motorcycles. Why is it ok to outlaw me riding unfettered in a car, but you have no safety AT ALL? Its illogical.
You do not NEED a browser. You need a browser to surf the web, you dont need one to connect to the internet. DO you now that MS almost missed the internet browser completely? And because they were late to the party, they illegally used their monopoly status to crush their competitors in the fledgling browser market. Before advertising was used to fund browser development, people actually paid money for the software. The whole browser punishment was because they acted ILLEGALLY.
I love this revisionist history. Google is in no way as powerful or as evil as MS was in its heyday. Its not even close. Back in the day you couldnt even BUY a computer without windows on it. It could be said that MS ushered in a short era of computing dark ages.
I dont see google having the possibility of owning ALL of computing like the spectre we faced with MS. Microsoft wanted to whole pie, forever. Convicted monopolist does mean something and has greatly shaped how MS operates in the 21st century. Sure we didnt get the 'split the baby' punishement that most geeks wanted, but MS was effectively cowed by the judgement.
Sometimes i think we shouldnt allow people to drive motorcycles on public roads. We force people to wear seat belts in steel cages yet motorcyclists can ride around with no protection at all?
Its called Remote Desktop/VNC. Stop trying to shoehorn stupid shit in that we have done remotely for decades. Tablets are portable screens with big batteries, thats it. If you want to do heavy lifting, install a fucking backend and remote in.
The other day my NAS reported to me that there are some virus files it quarantined in the Mac backup sparsebundle. So of course i run out and install Sophos on the mac and do a full scan. Turns out it was my Win XP VM that got hosed. So in this case, macs DO get PC viruses.
I doubt it. Apple is all about user performance (for the envelope they target). You would probably see more real world dollars by keeping the stock battery and touting the 15-30% increase in battery life instead. 12 hour tablet? yes please!
You are taking my statement to an illogical end. I never said that we shouldnt try to reduce human error. My point is that Imperial isnt going away anytime soon so rather then hoping and wishing, lets recognize the fact that we have differing measuring systems and drill it home. My 'an idiot will fuck it up anyways' means jsut that, someone who is a moron will fuck it up no matter how 'safe' you make it. It doesnt mean 'well we shouldnt try then'.
I dont care about hot swapping. Its a 'whiz-bang' feature that has no REAL use in home. I dont even RAID the drives, i just keep another Synology NAS at my in-laws and sync them once a month. Drobo is also quite a bit more expensive for their cheapest model and I dont think their software suite is as robust. Synology's DSM OS is fucking killer. Does so much more then store files. DHCP, LDAP, torrent, terminal, Print serve, surveillance recording, anti-virus, etc etc. Drobo is nice, dont get me wrong, but the hot-swap is generally sold to dummies who cant figure out how to power cycle the device and make sure the drive is operating normally when it comes back up.
Seriously, buy a Synology NAS, dump all your data on it and call it a day. The cheapest 2 bay model they make is straight up badass for its price point.

Thats called 'preaching to the choir'

They dont have a 'right' to demand it. They claim it by invoking monopoly on violence.

Been there, done that, with a $250 Ergotron arm. Ipad wins hands down.

You really need to reassess your perception of mac users. Scads of CS/IT people use macs because its so UNIX-like
The standard 'big box' desktop is on its way out. Pocket computers and docking stations are the future, bank on it.

This argument precludes the possibility of easily sourcing a pentabular screwdriver. In short, your logic falls flat on its face.
