1. Take the drive that needs to be failsafed and placed into a box lined with bullet-proof material. 2. Mount my patented Bango Drive Destroyer on the drive. 3. When the time comes, press the Bango Button! causing two 30 carbine slugs to fire through the drive case shattering the platters into Zillions and Zillions of pieces. 4. Profit!
I the 60's there was a program on CBS called "Men into Space". It was on Wednesdays at 7:30pm ( So was "Lost in Space", but that's another reality). The program dealt with the everyday problems that happen when you work in outer space. You know, malfunctioning equipment, leaking space suits, jealousy, greed, other endearing human qualities. It was a good show.
Use the space environment as the backdrop, not(!) the main reason for the show.
I read thru the comments. All I hear is whine whine whine. You are addicts! Hell, as long as you can see Natalie pour hot grits into Carrie-Ann's pants, you won't care what browser you're using. Think about this. IBM had the computer world in the '70s. A couple of guys in a garage changed that. They had far less resources than anyone does now. David vs Goliath. Try starting from ZERO. Like they did. Can you? Nerds and geeks? No, sadly enough. Just users with an over rated sense of self importance.
I am pulling the plug on Slashdot. Good bye (l)users. That sound you hear behind you is the next PC revolution, and I'm going to be on that truck.
oh and I'm sure you will. I don't understand what all the whining is about. Didn't personal computing basically start in a garage? It separated itself from the "big boys" and became a hobby, then a business, then an industry. Are you saying that you geeky geeks can't do it again? Are you saying it would be to inconvienent? If you have to take another path, do you take it?
But you wouldn't have your cel phones if it wasn't for hams(VHF repeater technologiy) or your 802.xx (packet radio). Satelite phons either for that matter.

Hey, If you use ANY kind of card with your name on it, they track you. Credit cards, debit cards you name it.
So, in other words, nothing worth watching.
And Don't call me Shirly, you insensitive clod!
Do you think you are THAT important to the ruling class, worker unit?

Whoa! There's a scary thought. Perl still alive in 28 years.

Not a word about GNU Radio busting DRM into little pieces. Whats the matter? The subject not trivial enough?
Slashdot: Renting the pretension instead of buying into the dream.
So what does it matter. I mean, have you done VOIP at 42K dial up?
But then everybody knows that.
Troll me. I dare you! You slutty little scriptkiddys
It is just another release of some unimportant software.
