One approach is to burn three copies and then you can recover the data by averaging the signal between them. This requires multiple drives but it is better than having to give up on archived data. Manufacturers suggest: "Store your recordable DVDs vertically, protected from sunlight, in a room that avoids wide variability in temperature and humidity."
It is hard to be afraid of Google when they're sending you checks every month. Microsoft and Yahoo never found a way to deal me into their growth the way that Google has.
And apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I'd suggest doing a bootable CD. You can have total control, then. In my limited experience, gamers are typically not too disturbed by having to do a reboot to get to their game.
The default browser is opera. Version is "8.0.2 internal" system string is "armv5tejl" So how do you go about figuring out what the version is of the flash player?
To confirm, there is no infrared port on this device. The Nokia 770 has three buttons on the top: a fullscreen toggle mode, a zoom with +/-, and a power button.
Four buttons on the face: a four-way directional controller, menu button, home button, and a undo/redo button.
No thumb keyboard, but there is bluetooth keyboard support.
One of the best things about using this for ssh in a handheld is that the wifi is VERY sensitive, so it is fairly easy to get low latency connections to 802.11 access points. In my world, there's nothing worse than a really SLOW-response shell.
There is a bootable Linux live CD that has a development environment for the ARM chip in this thing: maemo.org/maemowiki/LiveCD
I got a development unit on Friday last week. It took me about a half an hour to get ssh, vi, and nmap running on it. Shell tools are a variant of busybox. The ssh client and server that are the easiest to get running are from dropbear project. I'm working to compile gdb for this thing.
Other comments: wifi is INCREDIBLY sensitive. Will make a great stumbling platform and 1G MMC cards are only like $75. Bluetooth works, and requires that you sync with a 4 digit code every time. The big question is whether it will work with bluetooth GPS.
As a side note, hats off to Nokia for sending units to developers before sending them the press. Don't get me wrong, CmdrTaco, I hope you get the free unit that you feel entitled to in a few months from now, but the fact that Nokia wants these in the hands of developers before the press speaks volumes about how successful this platform will be.
It's all about the software.
By the way, if you want, I can paste a dmesg from this thing. It feels pretty quick, especially running X. Native RAM/storage is 128MB and it comes with a 64MB storage card. MP3 playing slows it down a bit. It can play movie files, but pretty much if that's the only app you're running. Chess, Mahjong, and a Marbles puzzle game are all very nicely built out. The RSS feed reader in this Nokia770 is AWESOME and puts the PalmOS equivalents to shame. The web browser feels like Firefox in your hand and already has Flash support in it. Blah blah blah; I'm rambling, if you have questions, post them here and I'll do my best to answer.
Actually, the internationalization code that Sun donated to GNOME was a pretty big deal. Also, you're right about the [Star|Open]Office. Point well taken.
Look SunBoy, even Solaris incorporated GNOME so that Sun wouldn't have to build out their own desktop software. You can't be serious about the GNU-Free-World all of a sudden capitulating after more than a decade to just decide that for a few minor improvements that they would rather work on top of an OS by Sun, open or not.
Totally appropriate that the fortune cookie that came up on the bottom of that story's page is: "I am not sure what this is, but an `F' would only dignify it."
This 5 to 8 percent of marketshare is the number of people who have a clue enough to be willing to switch. How many of the internet explorer "users" are really licenses that are sitting on a machine that isn't being used regularly by anyone? I'll bet around 92% to 95%. Bloated market numbers are to be expected from any of the Fortune 500. So finally what we have is a realistic look at the number of real browsing public.
Put a server in San Francisco, put a server in Massachusetts, put a server in Florida or Texas, put a server in Chicago, put a server in New York, and then redundent-cluster them all with something like mod_globule or rsync scripting mojo. Problem solved.
This is the best chance we have for rapid world-wide deployment of IPv6. Nobody wants to convert their existing networks, but if you're building out something new, why not? You heard it here first: the entire current internet is effectively just a relatively small subnet in IPv6 address space.
There's a nicely compiled list of Linux companies in Omaha. My experience is that companies in midwestern cities are slightly less eager than big cities/big co's to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to purchasing high-dollar solutions from Microsoft and the like. The local user group is pretty active too.
You can push MySQL way beyond 280,000 customer records. I know because I've done it.
With properly normalized data, on fast, current, commodity hardware (10krpm drives for instance), using InnoDB, you can pretty easily push MySQL into the 5 to 10 million records-per-table range before you start really needing a bigger relational database engine. This assumes no more than 1% of your data is needing to be updated per day. Staying with GPL database software is a really smart thing to do: you don't know how much time and money gets spent on just negotiating with Oracle over their licenses: it is anything but simple. Small business web sites cease to be "small business" when they grow beyond of.01% of 10 million per day.
A non-trivial part of my business is in advising companies in how to get the most out of MySQL. Replication is one part of that, but having the right data structure for scalability is really key. Want more? Ask around at: www.phpconsulting.com
About two years ago I completed an in-house project that involved integrating sendmail (via pipes), PHP (for text handling), and MySQL, to archive all messages in a set of MySQL tables that can then be queried later. Separately, I have a web-based search and browsing system. If you're interested in using these tools to build out your email repository, you'll find my contact info at phpconsulting.com. It doesn't handle attachments very well, but that could be built out without too much hassle.
For what it's worth, if you're considering building something yourself, there are various advantages to not using mbox or maildir, but a truly relational structure for archiving the email.

The article said nothing about "geeks."
Instead, this is a two-year-old study on yearly graduation rates of some selected technical degree programs in the U.S.
Anyone care to explain why we aren't seeing 2004 or 2005 numbers here?

Works well with Firefox on any platform, in my experience.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but in a completely legal way to discuss and develop for x86 stuff, check out the Darwinports list of x86-related ports.
