The key to data protection is risk mitigation. Depending on how important your data is, you should probably consider employing multiple methods of protection, such as a Disk or SSD based copy with a Tape or Optical based copy.
Personally, I'd keep a near-online copy by means of an External Drive or NAS device which can be powered down if necessary, but if you want to go further you could lock that in a fire-resistant safe/filing cabinet, but you should definitely have another copy offsite somewhere.
You could even use an online storage provider? Let them worry about maintaining the hardware? But you still need a second (offline, offsite) copy, imho.
Looks to me like most of the women on the chinese team look like they're fresh out of the local sex-change clinic... remember the swimming team from a few years back?
That's spot on I reckon, except we couldn't get a Sven so we had to settle for a Sebastian from somewhere on the other side of the globe. Works for us!
We have about 1500 employees on the books, and I would have suggested we have a small team of about 15 I.T. Staff (From Service Desk to Management), but we also have a team of 5 in a 'projects' division working with an external partner on our in house business applications (software).
15 actually does us quite well (including telephony services), considering our environment - we're a windows outfit (as much as I'd like to change that), but we have over 30 small branch offices and 15-20 large offices. We still do almost everything in-house which is great, testing and trying new technologies, deploying more new offices every year and refreshing equipment in the eternal attempt to thwart the electronic death.
So, when are we getting these in workstations? Although, my current laptop tends to get pretty hot, I don't think I would want 1600 degrees on my nuts:P
I cant help but think it will be too bulky and restrictive for natural swimmers and divers. Better re-inventions of the flippers have already been done, check out www.shinfin.com

How about Punch cards made out of titanium?

Some models suggest that space-time expanded at a rate faster than light speed during a period of rapid inflation shortly after the Big Bang.
I don't know about you, but I always take anything that a model suggests with a grain of salt!

I guess it depends on whether your I.T. department runs on the imperial system or the metric system.

0 to 60 miles an hour in .97 of a second! holy moly! impressive, but the bike looks like a rail engine if you ask me.
Gotta love the name... fully SiC ;)
:P

Anyone heard of VMWare? Their products help virtualise old systems :P
They have a freebie product too!
