The solution doesn't require a SCSI controller, or tape drive, or the ability to grok a scripting language or archiving tool to work, either.
One worry I have about the backup solution from the article is that there's no redundancy; the author backs up three drives to one large drive. If the big drive fails at the same time one of the backed-up drives fails, he's got a problem. I almost think that if I were in the same situation, I'd switch to RAID-5 inside the box with the whole directory structure on the array (instead of broken up onto different drives the way he has it set now) and back that up to the large external drive.
Not perfect, but I'd feel a little more secure with it set up that way.
When I saw the phrase "coaster set", I thought the original poster meant coasters like these and I wondered what kind of sad kid would get so excited about protecting the furniture.
Given the length and complexity of the Watchmen comic series, I don't think anything less than a 6- to 12-part miniseries could do it justice. Oh, well.
The video on their site of a guy unpacking one of their bags is impressive and kind of amusing at the same time -- sort of like when all those clowns get out of the little clown car.
I like P.K. Dick's comment (in the novel "Valis") that "Reality is that which, when you ignore it, does not go away." On-line games pretty definitely go away when you ignore them. Plus you can't level up. nn
Do the G4 suits really think they purchased the eyeballs of TechTV viewers along with TechTV itself and that TechTV viewers will watch anything on that channel now that it's a completely different channel? Very strange logic.
It really reminds me of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Oops! No more eggs! nn
I have been on the lookout for several years for a robust version of the classic Drinking Bird I remember seeing as a kid in the '60s -- http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/1169 -- but every version I've found lately is made of incredibly fragile, thin glass too easily breakable; the pivoting mechanism hangs and (metaphorically) sputters as the thing tries to work.
What this country needs is a good $10 Drinking Bird!

Okay, so the survey dispels the "slacker" stereotype in regard to Daily Show viewers. Now we need to find out who smokes the most pot, O'Reilly, Daily Show, Letterman, or Leno viewers.
Anytime I see a caller I don't recognize on Caller ID, I don't answer the phone and let the answering machine deal with it. Such calls have increased in frequency over the last few months; I wonder how many of those calls I don't answer are pollsters or campaign fundraisers?
I wonder if Caller ID has a neutral or skewing effect on the accuracy of polling today?

I've got a RoadWired camera bag; they seem to make tough, capable stuff. Here's a mondo laptop bag that might do the trick:

Hey, I didn't say I believed PKD's religion; I just thought the quotation was nifty.

According to the Renault Web site linked in the post, the Vel Satis is a saloon.
Therefore, the driver must have been drunk.

If the worst problem you have all day is that you can't play Star Wars Galaxies, you're having a pretty darn good day.
