My understanding is tape has very long restore times. It is also difficult to access just a few files. If these are offline data-sets that need to be accessed periodically, he would be way better off w/ disk IMHO. If they are a put it up and keep it just in case, then he is probably better off with tape. The time limitations of tape should definitely be considered, not just the longevity.
Yeah, that guy pulling down $40 an hour is not stupid, he will start his own company, or someone will cut him in on a bit more of the cash, or someone will undercut your 80% profit. Either way, there is no way you will keep that scam going.
I'm not sure that there is a way to compile real evidence for this.
I consider myself intelligent. I'm no Genius, but I get by. My comment is mostly based on observation. Maybe I am observing pedantry?
I seem to observe that high intelligences tend to specialize, over specialize IMHO. This specialization eventually leads to a feeling of superiority, locking in of ideas, and eventual stagnation.
It's also hard to pick out smart people because smart people tend to doubt themselves, which can inhibit their rise, while there is always some asshat, to stupid to know they are stupid who runs to the top of their field and causes a catastrophe. They often look smart at first and may be smart depending on how you define smart, I don't define it by IQ.
I'm more concerned w/ multi-display support. On opensuse, I can dock my laptop, undock, plug in a projector or run dual-displays with no problem. On Ubuntu, it is painful to switch between displays with different resolution and plugging in a projector is a nightmare.
actually, if you have two turds on the bottom of the bowl, parallel to each other, there is a trademark fee you have to pay to Disney. They call that one the disney-eisner.
10 day is 80 working hours, that equates to $37.50 per hour on the low end. I don't think you are describing a $3000 photographer, so let's pick the middle range.
10 days of work, 80 hours, at a $10,000 fee equates to $125 / hour. That's a pretty decent wage. If this guys keeps busy he will gross about $260k. Not shabby, I don't think he needs to steal my copyright.
Wow, between that and some of the themes I've seen on multiple Disney kids show, stuff like FBI agents investigating pirating and how wrong it is to copy things. I'm really starting to think Disney is the Devil. Not to mention they way they treat their child actors, using them up and discarding them. Stealing their innocence...
I've used both and pretty much settled on OpenSUSE, especially for desktop. It works with dual screens and you can undock your laptop and reconnect a projector or external screen. Try to get that working with Ubuntu or Mint.
The 1-click install on the OpenSUSE website is the icing on the YAST cake. It's really a great distribution and supports more hardware out of the box then any of the other distributions. Especially wireless.
The only time I use Ubuntu is for servers where I need to install something that is not packaged for OpenSUSE and I can't get to install manually. Almost everything is packaged for Debian, but OpenSUSE is catching up and working on this problem.
PfSense is where it's at. Affordable support, top notch, their support is really great and you often talk to the developers. Even if you don't pay, they have an excellent community with a forum and mailing list. Use a server, an old PC, or slap it into an embedded system from hacom or netgate. Your customers will never even suspect it is just an x86 computer.
I have never had better support then I got from all of these companies. They work with you to solve all issues and you talk to people who know what they are doing. Hacom even sent an identical hardware platform to pfsense so they could troubleshoot an issue they were having trouble replicating. It turned out to be an issue with large SATA drives, so they replaced the SATA w/ ATA.
I can send money from my bank, oops I mean Credit Union, to anybody with an email address. They have excellent web banking. Plus I can send a certified check to any address. It's a very nice feature. When will the Banks catch up?

If I hadn't commented, I'd mod you up, but I see your anonymous anyway, I agree, let the client store the data.
Tape would probably have fared worse.

I think it was the last release, I encountered the problem on stock Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Good to hear they may have fixed this issue.
what do they write then, it may not be a numerical 1 or 0, but it has to be an equivalent binary status, right?
Hey, don't go getting rational on us!
That's no help, he only sees *****, Slashdot's filter blocks anyone else from seeing your password if you post it. ;)

Keeps us at optimal intelligence. People who are too smart are just as defective as people who are too dumb.
wtf...?

This is why nobody takes IT seriously, we over analyze everything.
Another good option from OpenSUSE. I have had better results with their releases. They tend to do better more reliable hardware support.

After that first paragraph, I thought you had been going through my dresser. I know, I dress like crap, but don't call me out so publicly...
I can use my web banking site to pay anybody, they either get a certified check (mail), or an electronic deposit depending on their bank.
Try a Credit Union, you will be amazed. I really, really like https://www.lmcu.org/ but they are of course, regional.

Avoid driving when visibly poor.
That won't avoid accidents, but it keeps the cops from bothering you.
