Not at all. The FLAC algorithmn is different from other generic lossless compression types. It understands what it's compressing, and treats it as a serires of audio samples, not random binary data.
Well, yes, and no. The reduced surface gravity helps more than you might think. Also, Mars has no atomosphere to speak of. Taking off from Earth, drag is signifigant up to, say, 75,000ft or so.
Abiword is really a nice little word processor. Quite trim, nice looking GUI. Works as advertised. Much nicer than the WP part of OO.org. Also, while on the subject, gNumeric is much nicer than the spreadsheet part of OO.org.
Yes, but I'm talking about something even more radical. The idea being that the copy is on an entirely different section of the disk. Imagine being able to take a CD cut it in half, and then being able to read all the data from either half (ignoring structural issues). The idea is to be able to take heavy, but localised, damage.
Care to back that up? When ever someone mentions data loss from ReiserFS it's always "other people", "a friend", etc. I've been running ReiserFS on a number of machines for several years, never had the slightest problem with it.
Did you even bother to read the links? The machine costs $65,000. At $20 a pop, and figuring, say, $7.50 per book for the paper, ink, parts, power, labor, etc, that's a profit of $12.50 per book. Which means you'd need to sell over 4,000 copies before you could even think about breaking even, much less MAKING money.
The problem is that small print runs have extremly high per-unit costs. You would be looking at a run of several thousand paperbacks, and even more for hardbacks, to be able to offer them at any kind of sane price.
Well, of course. That's why you have backups, and backups for the backups. Likely backups for THOSE. If all those levels of redundency fail, odds are not being able to see is the least of your worries.
A modern airliner with all the latest gadgets (GPS, EFIS, ILS) can be flown without any sort of external vision at all. Heck, the modern autopilots can take off, fly to the destination, fly the approach, and do all but about the last 50ft onto the runway.
If it's anything like past Nintendo handhelds, that figure isn't that impressive. Breakdown will be roughly:

I think I see his point. We already know enough to know that there really isn't anything worth sending people to. To put it in 15th century terms, it'd be like sailing all the way around the world to land on a tiny rocky atoll with no native life. There frankly are better ways to use the resources.
100 mile LOS at 5,000ft? Um, no. At 50,000ft maybe, not 5,000. At 5,000, you're looking at maybe 20-25 miles in each direction, assuming no hills, high trees, etc.
Um, you do know that a default apache install logs exactly the same kind of data (IP, pages visited, refering URL, etc) don't you? Also, any modern web app practically has to use cookies, as it's the only way to maintain state without a superlong URL.
The thing with destructive viruses is that they don't tend to spread very far, since by definition they take their host (and thus themselves) out after a few minutes or hours, where as something like Code Red, Nimda, etc,etc, can go for years without being removed.

Actually, I'd say it's far more likely to be an engadget shill.

Wow.
Total complete ignorance.
Ever heard of ASCAP or BMI, and the fees music venues pay to these and other licensing body?
Quite frankly, I think this "autoload" behavior is stupid. If you want to serve reports via the web, USE A FARKING CSV FILE.

Uh, I can remember when 150 or 175GB was the biggest you could buy. Ya know, that was what, a whole 6 months ago or something?
Sorry, but you dinosaurs are now on the way out..

In this situation, what precisely is the difference? The effect is that it's harder to have data loss.
Why not just mirror the data? If it's a 1TB disk, why not treat it as a 250GB disk, and then have 3 extra duplicate copies.

Frankly, I thought AoTC, while not a super film by any means, actually sucked far, far, less than Phantom Menace.
Nah, the Games section isn't nearly as bad. At least there is enough contrest there.

ROFL. High quality single player? It's Doom 1 with better graphics. Thank god I didn't actually buy this.

It's just you being paranoid.
