A given person is more likely to die of suicide than a robber killing them.
I'm vastly more likely to be killed by a robber, as I am way to astoundingly self important and arrogant to ever commit suicide. Or something like that anyway. The point is that you are using statistics awfully sloppily when you make that statement.
Right, that's why I called them 'another' copy. 10 DVD's is a big pain in the ass compared to an external HD drive, but it is another layer of protection.
As far as capacity, I disagree. I kept up with capacity gains from 1995 to 2005 by digitizing music. I have little desire to do the same for video, so 0.5-1.0 terabytes will last me for a very long time. Even if I started doing video, I don't see the need to go all that far past DVD resolution (I'm cheap and only by 'small', 40" screens), so a couple of dozen of terabytes is going to last a very, very long time.
The original question was "What peril of backing up to CD/DVD/Blu-ray does the great unwashed just not get?" my answer, in essence, was that they aren't reliable (this *is* something that the great unwashed masses do not get).
I never said that they were better or worse than anything else...
Even people that have experienced hard disk failure or floppy disk failure think that burned discs simply will not fail. I'm surprised you haven't encountered such attitudes.
Also, pressed media is probably more reliable than burned media.
People seem dead set against it, but it is obviously a great feature if it only costs $20 (which is what will happen if 1/2 of laptops ship with touch screens), and who knows what kind of stuff will happen when thousands of people start messing with them.
Hopefully it was apparent that I was agreeing with you. If it wasn't, I was agreeing with, by emulating the non-nonsensical/. jabber that you were referencing.
What makes the loader uncacheable? It probably needs to expire more often than version frozen library urls, but I don't see why it would be a problem to cache it for a day or whatever.
In theory, cache hits wouldn't give Google an information at all. So when the api works the way it is supposed to, it doesn't reveal anything.
Someone could even put up a site called googlenoise.com or whatever, with the sole purpose of loading the useful versions of the library into the cache from the same place.
It isn't about bandwidth, it is about the apparent responsiveness of the page. Pulling the library from disk is almost always going to be faster than pulling it over the network. If it gets there faster, the browser has more time to chug its way through the bloat.
On the shuttle, the waste management system desiccates the poo for storage. It isn't 100% effective in managing the dried poo. Little bits of it eventually start floating around the cabin.
Yeah, but Microsoft still failed to live up to the expectations that I had imagined for them. I'll be really mad if they make Vista work better before they release Win7, Win7 is supposed to be the fix for Vista, not Vista. Also, rainbows.
Calling a duck a duck is not anti-US. I was irritated by the way that I was treated coming back into the country (on the ground, from Canada). The poor attitude of the border guard did nothing to make the nation more secure, and it did plenty to make us look bad. The worst of it was that the Canadian border guard that we dealt with on the way out was a lot more friendly, and we were just punk kid guests, not citizens.
Burger (King) McDonalds would probably result in more beatings, plus, he might get sued by multinational corporations, which is sure to build excellent amounts of character.

You did better than I did, I got confused at "Kauzlarich".

People think they are a 'hard' copy and 'safe' whereas they are 'another' copy and 'unreliable'.

I would imagine that it is Yahoo! Mail.
Perhaps not the most Web 2.0 site out there, but almost certainly the most heavily used ajax site.
As long as they keep this js script available, you are incorrect (this is how the demonstrate using the libraries):
http://www.google.com/jsapi
They would still probably get a referrer url (it would depend on the browser)

Real guy.

They encourage use of the loader, but they aren't requiring it, there are direct urls for accessing the libraries:

Not quite what you want, but close.

Thanks.

Body management is not a solved problem in space.
"Wah". Slashdot made a point of NASA boiling some solder:

That's not very fair to the larger nations. More people will take longer.

Chinese security officers speaking in a German accident would give a whole new meaning to the last 50 years of history.
