Just a small comment for those who haven't come across graphology before: try it.
Seriously, just grab a book on it and have a play. Don't take it too seriously but give it a whirl; it's surprisingly interesting. There's more information there than you'd think.
Just don't take a small amount of text/doodlings and extrapolate a huge character profile from it; only journalists do that:)
I have internal-disk-1 nitely rsyncing to internal-disk-2 and then (every wkend or so) I rsync to external-usb-disk and keep that off-site. Works very well for me.
I tend to get a lot of good stuff from IUMA. They have a way to buy the CDs from artists you like as well. Do folks know of many other sites like this (aside from mp3.com I guess)?
An article on *The Register* website "Stealth plan puts copy protection into
every hard drive" contains false information that the 4C's (Intel, IBM, MEI,
Toshiba) Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) is to be applied to
all PC hard drives. It is misinterpreting a specification for use of CPRM
with the Compact Flash media format (which supports either semiconductor
flash memory or IBM microdrives) probably because Compact Flash uses the
same command protocol interface as standard PC harddrives. The technology
is neither intended nor licensed for use with PC harddrives and is optional
even for the supported media types (flash memory and microdrives). John
Gilmore, a noted privacy and consumer advocate, has picked up the article
and further propagated the erroneous information and mentioned Intel
"IBM&Intel push copy protection into ordinary disk drives". I have alerted
public relations at Intel and are disseminating accurate information within
Intel and among our industry contacts.

Yup, no criticism in the mainstream media at all.

Totally agreed.

AFAIK: Compared to/with depends on context. You "compare to" when likening; "compare with" when contrasting.

There was an interesting BBC Radio 4 program on this: Bird Brains.

Actually, I believe that (strictly speaking) it should be "owing to"...

There seem to be conflicting reports of this:
