  8. Problems are on Ask Slashdot: Best Medium For Personal Archive? · · Score: 2

    The first problem, you don't said how long you want to preserve the data without transfering it on another support!
    Because, the longer you don't use the support the more you have these problems :
    with HDD, the mechanical part, even when not used risk to jam. Happen for me to a HDD stored in a safe in a Bank
    with SDD and other flash drive, especially when not in use, the data (electric / magnetic gate) evaporates
    With opticalDisk, except some old cd made in real gold, the data will fade aways is in contact with light.
    with magnetics tape, the problem will be the same as the flash drive, the magnetics elements will evaporates.

    And with all these technologies, you will need the hardware to read and connect them.

    You today are able to find a computer with a 8 inches floppy drive or even a 8 inches floppy drive or a computer that have the ide connector to connect the 8 or 5 inches floppy drive ?

    My solution, is to backup and copy often. I transfert my backup support every year or two to a new kind of backup support. First tape and CD, then DVD, then BR, Then HDD, this year TB SSD are cheap enough to be in my near vision for the next backup. And I keep my older backup.

    No, It's illegal to sell Alcohol to under 18 YO people, but a parent or adult tutor can give alcohol to his/her children. Period. And parents almost all over the world do this to their children to give them education about how to drink alcohol.

    300$ fee if you drive in 3 feet of snow!!! GEEE! Hope these guys never go up north.

    I remember the first time I travel in the USA with my children, they have around 8-10 years old. We were in a restaurants, I order some beer for myself. A unknow local beer, and my children want to taste it like they do here, I give them the glass... then the waiter tell us that it's completly illegal and we can be arrested for doing that. I think to myself, what a real land of the free where you government tell you how to raise your children. No wonder why alcohol crime are so high down there.

  18. I'm a watchaddict on How Apple Watch Is Really a Regression In Watchmaking · · Score: 1

    I have a good number of watches.

    My preferred are the Casio Tough-Solar (I have 5 of them) and Citizen Eco-Drive (2 of them) like the name suggest I never change the batteries of theses.

    I also have some Samsung Gears watches, the original watch (v700) on a normal use (ie I don't spend the day playing with 2048 or taking picture with it) can stand 4 days without problem (around 15 to 20% of battery use by day).

    For me, the Apple iWatch is like other iProduct from this company: bad technology, bad design, bad software good marketing; remind me the old Microsoft.

  22. Windows 8 touch interface on Microsoft Surface Drowning? · · Score: 2

    I'm writing this on a windows 8.1 tablet (HP) and I'm also a user of Android Tablet, Ipad, and some others phones/touch interface.

    A lot of people in this site and others sites point that windows 8(.1) are too much touch oriented to be good on a desktop, in fact, windows 8(.1) is also not ready to be used on a touch interface. Touch interface is not only a thing about how too choose the app you want to use, but also how to use, write, select, draw, etc. without a mouse and a keyboard, and on these points, none of the windows 8(.1) software are efficace here, they are 10 years late on any others interface, including the old windows CE/mobile interface that I had use for more than 5 years.
