Unexpected comparison of trained coders / developers, many with certifications and degrees, to untrained sub-GED Taco Bell employee... well... frankly, knuckle-draggers.
Also, I don't care if your code is minimal and profitable, if it gives me a sore stomach as Taco Bell does, I'm opting for something more complex and just... better. Better for me, better for everyone.
I get the appeal of promoting minimalistic coding styles with food concepts, and it's a refreshing change from the raggedy car analogies... but come on. Taco Bell? Really??
Since start-to-finish projects only come in sub-terabyte levels, a single 1.6TB LTO4 tape holds that specific project nicely for around $120.
It's more of an archive, than a backup, as others have mentioned. I feel I can trust my Raid to hold recordings and masters for about a month, which is usually all it takes to finish it up.

WD Launches 3 Terabyte HD

· Score: 4, Insightful
Good for you. In the last year, I've put about 8.5 TB into my house (without a single torrent) and I could use another 3 TB. Running a small recording studio digitally has it's upsides and downsides.
A 5x 3TB Raid 6 sounds just about right for a nice 9TB assembly. (And yes, I know, Raid isn't a backup, there's tapes for that.)
What, you mean that if you slice up a pie enough times, you don't have two whole pies eventually? Isn't this what politicians have been telling us works?
I'm such a whore for those two games in particular, I'd buy 'em. (Assuming the graphics were updated, and updated ONLY the graphics. We don't want "gameplay improvements" tyvm.)
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the fact that PSXeven + some ISO's pulled from my FFVI and VII discs make the games themselves playable on any computer I'll own for a long, long time. But let's face it, FFVII is farking DISGUSTINGLY UGLY at 1600x1200. Argh.
Yes, yes they DID. I received my free one as selected through the iPhone app just a few weeks ago. Fortunately for me, Squaretrade.com ALSO sent me a free case, and I liked theirs better so I stuck with it. Glad I did, too.
Just what we need, more ammo to put multi-year non-competition agreements on employees.
I live where that one really big business used to be, what was it called... Apple hated them... IBM or something I think. =P I've seen thousands of jobs slashed here in my time, and a lot of those people walked out the door with a clause behind them stating they couldn't even begin to work in the industry again for at least a year.
A year is a long, long, long time for your typical family to drop from working wages to unemployment.

I'm ALWAYS looking for ways to make my ISP hate me!
Or, maybe not me... how about my neighbor with the unsecured wireless?

Not to be pessimistic, but I don't think it's possible to completely rewrite the game in just a few weeks.

Actually, Apple provided these cases to many iPhone 4 users, free of charge, to fix the antenna issue.
You better believe that Apple is afraid of being liable for providing cases to users that destroy the device.

Great, it's denser. Does this mean it now comes in a yellow-white, almost blonde color?
