Correct: That was nice how we could get all that stuff for free and much more conveniently. I mourn it's impending doom but understand that not everything can be free because it costs someone money to provide such things. Once again, I am happy that it was free for as long as it was.

I think it is you who is displaying ignorance. You can't just point to one or two blogs as evidence that all blogs are legit. The simple fact is that the vast majority of blogs are heavily biased, poorly researched opinionated editorials.
Yes, sorry, this article is clearly intended to teach one how to backup in a large scale environment. I reread the article. It's funny, the first time around I missed the part about the author's prefered backup file size is 650MB (he likes to burn them to CDs). I italicized the part about CDs because I didn't want anyone to get scared. It's a very enterprisey technology.
OK, for you nit-picky bastards with your "copyright infringement is not theft" and your " it's not stealing if you are only copying it because there is no loss" apologists, I restate:
Is the employee refering to the type of person who willfully violates company policy, which in the view of the company is a crime aka the procurement of company trade secrets regardless of whether or not they divulged them or made a profit from their actions or is the employee refering the type of person who thinks being honest about willfully violating company policy, which in the view of the company that they work for is a crime aka the procurement of company trade secrets regardless of whether or not they divulged them or made a profit from their actions absolves them of punishment?
If the file has say, 5 columns that are tab delimited - make a table with five columns of the appropriate type
Then use this statement:
load data infile '/path/to/file/file.txt' into table name_of_table;
Tab delimited is the default delimiter for that statement but you can change it.
And as someone who regularly works with this amount of data - dump grep, sed and awk and learn Perl. It is way, way faster and is exactly the tool for this kind of job. Oh, and put an index on your search term column.
Heh, yeah. I searched it last night with some crude perl regexes. There were a bunch of full names and SSNs in the same search. One funny thing I kept finding was a search like:
"locate John L. Smith last address 123 Main Street, Houston, Texas social security number 123-45-6789"
Like AOL was some magic person finding machine. I kept thinking Star Trek, "Computer: Locate..."
One per year per agency. Get one from one agency every four months. If anything major happens, you can bet on it being in all three. Minor stuff, like addresses, etc are most likely what will differ from one agency to another and are not so urgent to get fixed.
Indeed. We just signed up with a pretty big net backup service that runs tape backups in data centers. They run a patch cable straight to your cabinet, give you some backup software like veritas or what-not. These jokers hand me a non routable IP address that is something like 192.168.1.53. I'm no master network admin but I'm thinking, "hmmmm,.53? Why.53? Have they used up.1 to.52?" So I port scan 192.168.1.0/24 and find all kinds of "shamefully exposed ports" on dozens of servers, linux, unix, windows whatever. A big time backup company and dozens of servers all making huge mistakes. Maybe the server was compromised, but there are a lot of idiots out there.
And I really don't even know what I'm talking about.

You and your precious online encyclopedia. The one that can be edited by anyone. The one that contains absolutely no bias. It's so cute.
Well, this one has more than a shitty http interface as an API.
From a backup?

Just give them a Speak & Spell. It'll have as much value at a quarter of the price. Plus it already exists.
I suggest your encourage your subscribers to change over to GMail.
Yeah. That can be the first topic of his next newsletter. It'll be useful advice to people whose ISPs are blocking it.

Blog posts are pretty much editorials or opinions.
In depth articles contain more research than a few links to wikipedia or other similar minded blogs.
That's the difference.

In 2050, I am going to get so fucking high and totally watch that game.
Is Google good or bad at Slashdot these days?
Anyone can go to a public university and get access to most journals.
Ask a scientist who works a lifetime for little pay and publishes their discoveries in journals anyone can read.

It's just not so obvious to the consumer. Where do you think the money comes from? A magical treee?

How does one get it every 4 months for free

Here in the backwater US, you can get your credit report for free three times a year at http://annualcreditreport.com/ - Check it every four months.
