First thing i did in college right after ordering my laptop was stop by a State Farm agent. for about $60 per year i got a Personal Articles Policy that covers even self-inflicted accidental damage. This came to help me a few months later when I tripped on the power cord and pulled my laptop off the kitchen table. State Farm sent me a check, and didnt give me grief about it:)
Now this wont save your data, were you to loose it somehow, but nowadays CDRs and DVDRs are so cheap that its your own fault for not having a backup scheme going at least once a week...
Quick disclaimer: i dont work for state farm, i dont even get free stuff from them. Im sure a bunch of other insurance carriers rovide the same service, ive just never used them.
Actually, Schrodinger's Cat model was used to explain a small thing about quantum physics. basically it said that when we observe something we are undoubtably changing it and thus it isnt what was actually there in the first place.
Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle comes into play here because we are incapable of actually knowing the precise position and velocity of the cat:). We change it by checking:)
Technically the cat is both 100% alive and 100% dead...

for a better explanation (though not complete either)
That really sucks, ive just lately dicovered Propaganda and their fantastic textures... at least we still get to mesmerize ourselves looking at the past volumes...:)
Have you seen the number of hits on the linux-hacker.net page??? its going up like nuts!! im thinking there may be just a wee bit more than 1000 or so people getting these for hacks... -zr!
2.5" are too expensive, why not just go external. Im sure most of us have old 2gig hd's lying around...
cut a small strip into the case and feed the ide cable out. You might not want to run off it though, i imagine the larger hard drives dont care too much about saving power... maybe use a real external hd case...

oh well... guess this really shows a trend with just about every industry. Its hard, costly, and most of all scary to change... -zr!
