WTF? Adverts for disk recovery companies and bicycles than launch floppy disks. Thanks/. Have you jumped the shark?
As for recovering data, and as many, many, many people have said here. If you don't have a backup, you are a complete tool. And I don't mean archiving to optical media, because you're just asking for trouble there.
As for recovering data, short of mechanical failure, if you're trying to recover data from a drive or RAID array of some sort, I can't recommend the stuff from Runtime Software (runtime.org). RAID Reconstructor and GetDataBack have saved my arse more than a few times (Because yes, the first time I was a tool and didn't have a backup. The second time I still didn't have a backup, cause "That won't happen again". The third time I had a backup, but it wasn't automated, so it was out of date. The fourth time I didn't have sufficient capacity). So basically it just boils down to me being an idiot, but Runtime's software got everything back each time. The last instance just took three weeks (Long story). So now I have an automated backup, backing up the NAS to a RAID array of sufficient capacity.
I came to say the same thing, found you already said it (Well done Sir), and find your getting modded as a troll?!?!? FFS. Sorry America. You deserve to have your economy flushed down the toilet if someone criticising these shams is labelled a troll. Keep talking about growing breast implants. I guess intelligent conversation has left Slashdot.
When you said "It seems like there are ten thousand of them now", I was wondering for a sec if you were being sarcastic in the "Yet Another Fine Distro" bit, but I guess not...Honestly, yet another distro just feels like so much re-inventing the wheel now...
To protect yourselves from the terrorists, first ask yourself why the terrorists exist, and secondly, why they are attacking the United States in particular.
BS. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Telcos are well aware of the details under FISA. Honestly. The fact that your average American does nothing as a result of the evidence that this administration has been illegally wiretapping since 2002, if not before (Well before the Protect America Act was passed) says so much. People I speak to are waiting for Obama to change things. Well. Wait for this to change:
If Obama is elected - "I haven't had enough time in four years to change anything, so elect me again". At the next congressional elections - "We haven't had enough time with a Democrat as President, so elect us again"....What will you all do when nothing changes? I'm taking bets if anyone is interest.
(Note, this post is not a message against Obama, or for any other candidate. Just pointing out details regarding a candidate who everyone thinks will change things, but who is simply another politician, and an individual person, up against the whole of the political machine).
B) Going on a holiday as opposed to work...Unteather yourself. Sure. Take a camera, obviously. Don't burden yourself with too much technical junk. You're probably going to 'relax' and get away from this kind of stuff. A phone that does e-mail, and sat nav? I'm as much a technophile as the next Slashot reader, but let it go already...
To keep this on topic. Ron Paul. I'm tired of the self fulfilling prophesy of "He's not a major candidate, so he can't get coverage to be a major candidate". $%^& your hypocrisy!
Yip. Games I happily go back and play are System Shock 2, Half-Life and Home World. I wouldn't bother replaying anything I've purchased in the past few years. As a result of this, I buy fewer games now than I used to. It's all just the same rehashed stuff, with pretty graphics.
Yeah. I bought my PSP (+ 4GB Memory Stick) as a PMP. Couldn't beat it (Though transcoding was annoying if I'd just finished downloading/recording something and I needed to run out the door and wanted to watch it then). My VAIO VGN-UX17GP is pulling PMP duty nowadays, but I wouldn't have even bought the VAIO if I'd been able to get a keyboard for the PSP. I mean, c'mon! WiFi + browser + keyboard. The thing would rock. Damn you for killing the Logic 3 keyboard Sony!

Actually, I hate to point this out, but 1984 is like so 24 year ago. Catch up man...
...when American companies start whoring themselves in this fashion, what does that say about us (as Americans) in general? You're whores?WTF? Adverts for disk recovery companies and bicycles than launch floppy disks. Thanks /. Have you jumped the shark?

Well there is 3 minutes and 46 seconds (That's all I could get through) of my life I'll never get back...
Damn! Too late. Grrr. Well done Sir.

Correct answer is, simply peel off all the stickers...

B) Going on a holiday as opposed to work
I'm flipping you the bird, as hard as I can.
The results of prolonged exposure to black holes are not part of this experiment.
C'mon...In today's political climate, you know spending taxes on anything other than war makes you a Commie! That's what the free market is for.
Damn. I read that as a "PMITA meeting".

Will it play Doom?
