which uses a combination of rsync and SSH to push data to the backup servers. The client is currently only for Windows at the moment, but with promises of a Linux and OS X version coming soon.
It generally works quite well - WinSCP is included to pull data back off the servers.
Tried scanning a UK 10 pound note and Photoshop CS would not even let me import it into the application - it threw up the money warning and that's it. So yes, it seems that the UK is also protected:)
I wonder if Weta will now go on to win an award for best visual effects in an acceptance speech?:) But seriously, it was an absolute riot and definately worth waiting for. Hope they include it on the special edition DVD of the Two Towers (region 2, please!!!!).
I remember watching a documentary about this - they hooked up a video camera to the system and wherever you pointed it, you would get a rough 3D rendering of the virtual set in "real-time", with the actors composited within it (IIRC).
Rack-mountable flight case size? You'd get a number of 1U machines in there quite easily and as it'll be on wheels it'd be quite portable for wheeling about the set.
Pah - Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Weta and Framestore have been doing this sort of thing long before ILM. Framestore did this for Dinotopia, Weta for Golum, and JHC for a variety of different things - all too numerous to mention here.
Looks like Verisign might become the Microsoft of the Internet. They've gobbled up Thawte which as far as I was aware the only competition with regards to digital certificates. It would have concerned me even more if ICANN had not allowed for other registrars to pop up for.com/.net/.org domain names. This could get nasty IMHO.
Translating the English version of the Panix admin letter to German and back produced some rather intersting effects:

On second thoughts, I'd imagine they'll stick all the good bits on the other side of the region 1 CD so it would be a flipper anyway. D'oh and double d'oh to my previous post. Sorry:(
If they ever decide to release this as a region 2 DVD, who wants to bet they'll make it a flipper and then remove all the extra bits (i.e. no collector's edition for us Europeans). Grrr, I wish studio's would treat region 2 with a little more respect like they do with region 1 films.
Microsoft are really quite greedy buggers - I remember quitely fondly how they forbid UK magazines from distributing Service Pack 4 and the Office 97 Service Pack 2 fixes. Microsoft UK seemed quite pleased to do it, but their US counterparts said no.:(
Who else would think of paying $89 just for a series of bug fixes - Microsoft. No wonder more and more people around here are going down the Linux/FreeBSD route with the arrogant and greedy approach Microsoft have to business.
I see Microsoft digging their own grave very soon unless they start taking a more nicer attitude to fixing bugs that their own programmers have probably (note probably doesn't necessarily mean that it's MS programmer's fault - but I would bet the majority of these fixes are) arsed up in the first place.
Slashdot Mirror
.. soaking it up at the local caravan/trailer park due to all that money they're making from their get rich schemes.
Unfortunately I just read the post - properly. SquirrelSave doesn't (yet) support server OSes according to the web site. Sorry 'about that.
I use a product called SquirrelSave:

.. and go down the G5 PowerPC route instead. This is my story of the nightmare that is Dell Hell:
Dell's Labryinth of Departments
and the nightmware that is technical support when trying to upgrade my previous Dell machine was just surreal.

Anyone remember that show?
