I saw this youtube video that seems to point out what it looks like. How much does this cost? I have to say this makes the deal to me. I don't even play WoW. But for someone super hard core, it'd be neat. Going to the FigurePrints.com says that they open Dec 11.
At that time, linux was inferior to various free BSDs(some would say it still is but linux clearly has more mindshare). And even xfree86 was just maturing. Open source desktop *nix wasn't bad, but Windows was superior as a desktop environment. Today, the differences are subtle and arguable about the quality of xorg and Gnome/KDE versus XP. The reason people couldn't switch back then was because it wasn't viable. The reason people don't switch today is because they don't want to teach themselves new linux applications.
I think there will always be a bandwidth problem. There might be enough bandwidth now for downloadable video, but it's definitely a stretch. And as we upgrade the network, we'll just want better content. HD content will required 4x as much bandwidth as we need for regular TV and once you see things in HD, you never go back.
Summary: Java is great in a large scalable, all Java world, but that's just not reality. Today it's all about pockets of service oriented architectures tied together with agile, interoperable web services.
The consistency and quality of Java's class library has always been it's strongest suit, so it will live on for quite a while, but I can see why people are slowly shifting away.
This brings me to my other question. Why haven't we found a new paradigm for relational databases. I know a lot of the strengths, but it just feels like we could have done better by now.
I'm curious about honest opinions on whether they would buy out my employer become.com. Our search results are good, but I wonder if they have too much invested in Froogle to consider it.
I've always wondered where are the 3d pr0n games. It seems like there'd be a huge market for life-like interactive sex games, but i've never heard of any.
I haven't tried DIBS, but I've been considering it lately.
I wouldn't assume that performance suffers just because it's written in Python. I don't hear people complain about BitTorrent even though it's written in python.
Back to the original question of what the best solution is. Obviously it depends on what the needs are. If you need total transparency and minimum downtime, then a RAID is great, but it isn't cheap. If you don't mind slow backups, and slow recovery times, and you already have extra disk in separate machines, then a network based backup is pretty cheap.
DIBS has some interesting features, including the ability to backup to N different places and incremental backups.

No one mentioned the custom Figurine. This done by figureprints.com with a 3d printer.

And yet Windows users have stuck to an inferior product for far longer than that.
Either that or:

I recently blogged why I feel Java isn't growing as quickly as some of the agile languages.- is-dying.html

Sounds like some other stuff I've seen. http://www.seastead.org/
