I really like Areca Backup. It has a fairly straightforward GUI and you can easily back up groups of files to different backup locations or media. If you run a differential or incremental backup, the GUI presents a "logical view" of that backup against the last full backup or series of backups.
Now, if only I could find some easy way to tag and organize 20,000 mp3s...
I'm a developer working on a personal project. I will not use any GPL code because I don't want to release all my code. So I'm only using code that's under the Apache or similar licenses. And since that's what I'm getting, that's what I'll give back. I'm not willing to release all of my code, but I'm willing to release some of it. In fact, I'm happy to because I want to show it off. So I'll put it in a library and release it under the Apache license. Maybe some other developer will find it useful, and the cycle will continue.
Why should I care if a commercial developer uses my code to make a profit? I won't have lost anything if they do. I don't write code with the expectation of in-kind "payment" under the terms of the GPL. I write code because I enjoy it. If your reason for licensing code under the GPL is an expectation of getting something back, then I'd say you've got a gambling problem.
In one of Heinlein's books, a character has himself cloned with one major change: his Y chromosome is replaced with another copy of his own X. This results in two cloned "daughters".
Of course, the offspring of the original male organism and the female clone would be as inbred as a creature can be. Plus it would express any recessive traits on the X chromosome. I wonder if the offspring could be kept alive for enough generations to produce diversity through mutation... and whether it would be monstrously cruel to do so.
I grew up in Indiana and lived all over the US. I've always ignored those yellow advisory speed limit signs on curves and stuff. But I discovered that in Tennessee, more than anywhere else, you ignore those at your own peril. Even in a BMW!
The average galaxy experiences a supernova roughly once every hundred years. Yes, we have seen some; there was one in a neighboring galaxy in 1987.
What's really whack is that there are about 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Using the estimate of one supernova per galaxy per century, this works out to like thirty supernova every second! Shit's blowin' up like crazy!
That's because it's not in the Koran. It's in the Hadith. Islam would actually be pretty tolerable if they followed the Koran and only the Koran, just like Christianity would be pretty tolerable if not for all the crap the Popes have added over the years.
So they're wasting time on configuration options that I can (and do) change myself, instead of getting back on track toward their stated goal of producing a distro that "just works." Warty was a major breakthrough in usability, but it's only been downhill from there.
When people have less than three sensitivity peaks in their photoreceptors, we call them "color-blind" – a condition that disproportionately affects males. When they have more than three sensitivity peaks, we call them tetrachromats. Though not proven to exist, experimental evidence suggests they do. And the theory explaining their existence requires that they be female.
My understanding is that the RGB standard is the best compromise for the largest number of viewers. Sure, a fourth channel would probably improve the image for some viewers, but not all viewers. And it's not even clear that the same fourth channel would be the optimal improvement for any large subset of viewers capable of perceiving it.
Why is Slashdot treating my paragraph tags like blockquote tags?
The additional cartridges in photo printers are not different colors; they're different densities. Fine variations in print density can be achieved with the "thinner" inks, and the "thicker" inks can be applied for high density without saturating the paper (in the wetness sense, not the color sense).
The reason the shuttle is strapped onto the side of its launch stack is because it carries its payload internally. There are only two justifications for the engineering difficulties and operational hazards of this design. One is to have the expensive SSMEs attached to a recoverable part of the vehicle. The other is to give the vehicle the ability to recover payloads from orbit (read: steal enemy spy satellites.) With the end of the shuttle program looming, I'm guessing the Air Force is interested in maintaining that capability. And who knows... maybe they'll be nice and bring back Hubble, too.
Note that most modern systems actually specifically disallow mapping the NULL page, out of security concerns. To run the following example on a recent Linux machine at home, you'll need to run # echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr as root, first.
So under normal circumstances, even with a NULL dereference in the running kernel, this method would not allow you to gain root privileges.
My question is, what legitimate reason might there be for a system to allow applications to map the NULL pointer? Is there a class or role of machines where this might be expected to work?
In the summer of 2006, the Fort Wayne Police Department set up at busy intersections and pulled over the last car through every yellow light. The newspaper recently reported that they wrote approximately 40,000 red-light tickets that year -- 30,000 more than the average. Everyone who contested it in court had their fine reduced to $1. But of course many did not. The FWPD has never apologized, disciplined its officers, or returned the money.

Isn't this basically the same effect that creates the L1 point?
...but only in the same sense that the Broken Window Fallacy creates them.

Yeah, that observable universe.

We're fighting a centuries-old war against censorship and intimidation by Christians. We have no problem opening up another front against Muslims.
Yeah... the entire site (what there is of it) reads like it was written by some teenage stoner.
Seriously, Jimbo? You let yourself be used as a political pawn by Fox News? Does anyone care about the drivel Fox News spews?
Wait, scratch that. A lot of people care.
Does anyone who matters care about the drivel Fox News spews?
The United States could cut its defense spending by 80% and still have the most expensive military in the world.

Harvesting energy from the tides will sap additional orbital energy from the Moon, causing it to spiral off into deep space. SAVE THE MOON!

All of these things are true. This is why responsible consumers shop local as much as possible.

Uploading audio to your car while you're sitting at your desk.
Identifies, and then redacts the images that would support the claim. How convenient.
It's yet to be established that any of those killed were armed.
