No matter how big, or how small, there's only one way to make sure your data is safe....
Back it up yourself.
Like everything else - if you want it done right, do it yourself!
Seriously, if you're using a service such as Yahoo! or Hotmail for important matters (whether they be family, personal, or business), make sure you make a copy of it somewhere that's in your control.......
Yeah, but see, the problem is that there are SO many conditions that can cause a SES light...
Like, my car, if one of the daytime running lamps (which are NOT part of the state inspection) is out, the light goes on. If the gas cap is loose, it's on. If you get a single misfire in a cylinder, it's on.
Now, a misfire is (typically) indicative of a problem, typically an over-rich condition, but even still - a single misfire can happen and will cause a SES light.
I shouldn't have to fail inspection because the vehicle misfired once.
Now, I'm not saying all mechanics are sharks, far from it, but if you don't think there's a few out there who'll loosen Grandma's gas cap so she has to bring it in for the inspection, you're naive.
This is New Joisey, home of Tony Soprano and all.:)
Here in good 'ol New Joisey, any 'newer' car (I believe '96 or newer) gets a computer test instead of the rod-up-the-tailpipe test. If your check-engine light is on, you automatically fail the test -- they won't even plug into the computer.
If it's not on, they read the codes in your engine, and if everything is OK, you pass the smog test.
Now, do you smell a racket here or what?
State inspection: free. Inspection at a "PIF" (Private inspection facility): $75.
Isn't it in your mechanic's interest to conveniently have that irritating-yet-not-telling-you-anything check engine light go on, so you have to bring it back to be inspected for $75?
People are about to be fired, lives uprooted, and you're screwing with their computers?
Glad I don't work with you. I don't know if I'd be able to restrain myself from beating the bloody pulp out of you.
If you really want to be a useful member of society, you'd start making phone calls, setting up some training, helping all those people about to be let go line something else up.
Yourself included.
If *I* were about to be laid off, the last thing I'd be thinking about would be gummi worm backgrounds.
Our company has 40m customers. Approx. 10% of those opt to receive their bills online. That's 4m messages per month we send, JUST so those customers know their bill is ready online.
Not to mention all the OTHER email, such as transactions from the online store, etc....... and on the "human" side of the house, we have 4 Ironport C60's (2 east coast, 2 west coast) setup as the in/out gateways..... they front-end MS exchange (no comments, please) and do a damned good job of it.
Couldn't be happier. The ironport boxes (A60 & C60's) let us shut down our entire Sendmail infrastructure (over 15 machines)....
You really could get the CD and run it without every knowing it had anything GNU/Linuxy in it
Sounds to me like Sun's actually on track to make Linux vaguely usable. Hiding all that crap is exactly what needs to happen if you want someone to actually *use* it.
I heard 10 years ago that Linux was going to take over the world "in a few years".... still waiting.
Please, it's good for what it is, but it isn't everything to everyone.
You zealots are worse than the Mac zealots, or (gasp!) even the OS/2 zealots.

Thank you for Getting It (tm).
Makes me feel good to know that at least *someone* here works in a real IT shop and doesn't just play sysadmin in their parents' basement.
We use TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) to backup our systems.
t orage-mgr/
We backup from the systems via gigabit Ethernet, to the TSM server, where the data is stored in a disk pool.
That disk pool gets flushed out to an IBM 3584 tape library. LTO2 tape drives. Great stuff.
TSM then duplicates those LTO2 tapes, and ejects
the copies from the library, for offsite storage.
Tape's going to be here for a LONG, LONG time.

The only thing VZ and VZW shares is the name.... the companies are run completely independently, for regulatory reasons ...
Oh, and the fact that the death spiral at landline won't infect the cash cow (wireless) that way!!
Seems to be like a rehash of the AltaVista Desktop search ...
:-)
I keep looking at Google and thinking "wow, this is just like AltaVista, without the death spiral!"
Good thing it started life in OS/2 as HPFS386 .......
All the thing says is that IBM did the manufacturing ... were they xSeries, pSeries or zSeries? :-)
:)
(I doubt the zSeries.... nobody buys 3300 processors' worth of mainframe
Absolutely.

Anything else doesn't look right in the browser.
I don't actually use Yahoo for anything, but it's what Browsers Are Supposed To Have At Startup.
Now go sign up for the service and make me happy.
