I'd like to echo these points with my own experience at work. We had a major server go down, taking with it all of our source trees and the old tape backup system hadn't been run in months (to which I had the _only_ clean checkout, i.e. we lost all revision history). I reworked the system with three of the goals mentioned above:
1) Protection from "idiot" mistakes (whoops, I deleted a file!); tar is ran on a full/differential cycle weekly. Everything else is on a Full/differential/incremental monthly. I can restore the file system from any one day, exactly the way it was on that day.
2) Protection from disk failure; these backups are stored on a 1TB server (another networked machine), which is also running RAID5 to protect it from failures. (the main server has a mirrored array as well).
3) Protection from fire; backups are burned to disk and stored in a fire safe, as well as off site.
One _super_ addition to this list: 4) Protection of privacy; all backups are encrypted before being burned to disk.
If you are anal and don't want to spend 30+ hours rebuilding a source tree (or other important work, like porn), you go above and beyond the call of backing up data.
I can't help but think, is it really Gentoo's fault? The majority of bugs I see on my server are related to the packages them self, not Gentoo in any fashion. If the gnu-tar group releases a 'stable' release (1.16.1 has a serious bug with gnu incremental backups), how much testing should the 'tar' group put into their software vs. how much testing should go into every distro?
If you want to be super anal about things, then you would run your own barrage of tests before updating your 'live' servers.
I'd have to say that "crashing" in general is _bad_. Here's a quick lesson in programming: check all return values:) You can write code that doesn't accept malformed input and still keeps running (perhaps by saying "Hey, id10t error, stop feeding me junk).
This is as big as they get, curb weight of ~4400lbs, 5.7Ltr V8 LT1, 4L60E tranny. "Drive it like I stole it".
Good days, 20mpg. Bad days, 16.
One of the guys in my group was talking about getting a smaller car for the "gas savings of 200$ a year"... we told him it was a loss since he would be spending that 200$ on "Why the hell did I sell my car" therapy.
I've worked to get where I am, and I will work to keep moving up. I'm completly against the id10ts that want to take away from my success to float a few freeloafers through life.
I'm voting for less goverment, less waste, and less taxes; atleast one party can deliver on the taxes.

School A's 3.0 might be better than School B's 3.5. I can't tell you how many people I know that have a 3.0 from a solid school, only to be rolled over by some other slacker from a second rate trade school.
Your assesment seems to lead to the thought that the data / documents are never unencrypted. Why waste time breaking an encyption when you can sniff the signals off the viewer's monitor, or pay an insider to leak sensitive info?
I believe "On Demand" video is refering to VOD with digital cable/satellite. And with phone companies competing to bring phone, tv, and internet to your house via fiber, you'll have plenty of bandwidth.
This is what Augmented Reality was originaly designed for. A boeing employee came up with the idea while working on engines.
Other ideas have been: 1) Constuction - Allowing building inspectors / contractors to see the layout of the building, already ran wire through the walls (to help aid in routing), to see city pipes/underground powerlines before digging 2) Self guided tours - Give directions, brief text, show how/where buildings once stood, draw "ghost" like people in clothing of a certain time period 3) Repair - As mentioned, repair of a car, computer, laser printer. Animated lined images show you have a certain "do-hickey" fits in a "thing-a-majig"
if they last forever, how come you need a stash?;/
Simple, I've got more than one machine, at more than one location (ha, simple KVM wont work!;) ).
I went to a LAN party once with one sticking out of my backpack (and an optical mouse) and people kinda were like "Wtf?" (computers were provided, but Fsck if I'm going to use their kb's and mice)
I can't stand new keyboards with the Bell-Dome technology. For this very reason, I've got a collection of Model-M's stashed away. These keyboards last forever. Right now (at work) I'm using the keyboard that came with my PS-2/286. At home I've got one from 1986 on my main computer.
For you hopeless, porn adicited, social drop outs, you can put these keyboards in the dishwasher.
I remember a discussion a while back dealing with small zeppelin/ballon networks placed around a metro area. Wouldn't this provide a better platform from which to launch city wide wans?
I do agree that it wasn't WiFi's fault, but I think itâ(TM)s a good thing to have "news at 11" to promote tightening of security. Now that itâ(TM)s been exposed in that district, I'm sure the surrounding area will also investigate their own blatant oversight.
I don't think Linux will have a chance among gamers until the newest releases can be installed with ease (read: no dependencies, loading wine, or other backwards thing to make it:seem: like its on windows) and played right away. Until that time, I'm going to play some Generals.

You get what you pay for....
They call it neophilia, I've always called it technolust
File that under shit I already know.

Where's the fun in that? It would be like going to and piloting a RC car from your hotel!

The largest security hole is human error.
So let me get this streight... you used a telent client to access a goverment database? lol.
Why would anyone be using msn search? Are you glutons for punishment?
That's per sector writes. If you have a decently large flash chip you can write 'smart' and spread your usage evenly over the whole chip.

If stupid fsck'n end users would stop openning and running attached files with no good reason to.
Example: Joe Blow expects file "abc.pdf" from Jim Bob-Blowme. Joe Blow gets file "abc.exe" from Joe Bob-Blowme and runs the file.
Outcome: Joe Blow gets shot in the face.
The reason why "intelligent and logical" arguments don't sell is 95% of the population is not intellegent enough to think for themselves.
If you've read the IBM filing, there is a line:
A jury doesn't nessisarly represent the more intellegent in society.
Jim Bob Bumble-Fsck with a GED and a drunken slur had better not be on the juror's list.
Notice the buckling spring keybaord in the last photo? Booyah.

And would you look at the three wreck already down town! Fsck! :( Looks like I might just ride down peachtree again.
