Just make sure you have a portable and open compression format that you will be able to dig up in 50 years. I have a ton of old data that I backed up in MacOS System 7ish using an old version of Stuffit that did automatic compression in the background (I think it was called Space Saver or the like). Well, it was a really dumb idea of me to install that because that data is inaccessible to me without running an old copy of the MacOS (though perhaps classic would work) and digging up that particular version of Stuffit Expander (the versions they have produced since OSX came out do not recognize the format at all, even though it is a format they created a decade or so ago). The point is not just to be able to store the data in as little space as possible but also to reliably access it 10, 50, 100 years from now.
What's amazing about it is that this computer was running Linux. Could this open some eyes and increase interest in alternative (Linux, Mac) offerings?;^)
Why do people use "computers" when all they need is a pencil and paper?
Seriously, I haven't used a "computer" in years, except to read stupid infected files other people send me. Crayons are more handy, but pencil and paper does just fine in this area. So does my Etch-a-Sketch.
I noticed this was listed under "Apple" because the students were using iBooks. Could this open some eyes and increase interest in alternative (Linux, Windows) offerings?
Some of the guys over at the Star Trek and M&M fan clubs were still managing to get laid once in a while. A copy of this journal on their coffeetables should help alleviate that problem.
I want a map of everyone who has stolen a car. I like my car, I don't want to move into a neighborhood where a former car theif lives. You know he'll (or she'll) just go right back out and steal my car UNLESS they're on a searchable map.
Not only put them on a map; we should poke their eyes out too. I don't even want them LOOKING at my car!
Not only that; to my knowledge Linus has not said he has never used windows. I recall reading an interview where he said he used Powerpoint for presentations.
Well it was pretty intense here. It felt like the whole world was shaking. There were all kinds of noises and objects flying around. Everything turned different colors too. And there were naked women everywhere....

Sorry, sorry, I had to.
There are other things you can buy in Manhattan, you know!
yeah but where are they gonna find rednecks with guns in the U.K.? And Coventry doesn't count.
Unfortunately, it's not medical marijuana.
Hello, History? You are going to judge these people, aren't you?

How many Libraries of Congress is that?
Because only old people will administer the servers.
But all the files I have that are worth backing up already have names like that!
Yes, they should really be using bash.

They want to remind customers how much they loved their Powerbook 5300s.

What? you mean your computer doesn't support PDF natively at the OS level? What kind of ancient system are you using?
Not only put them on a map; we should poke their eyes out too. I don't even want them LOOKING at my car!
Are you serious? Man, what is President Reagan gonna do when he finds out about this!
How many buttons will it have?
Not only that; to my knowledge Linus has not said he has never used windows. I recall reading an interview where he said he used Powerpoint for presentations.
yes! It's a much better choice for vegetarians. It's not like ordinary meat; it's force fed!!
Yes you will. But it only works if you take the acid at a strip club.
Courtesy of the US Geological Survey right here. Plenty of info that I don't understand, plus pretty maps!
What's that? the quake was up north you say?
That's it. No more LSD on weeknights.
that you had to post to slashdot before calling them to see if they were ok.
