I am no hard drive expert, but even on my 15K RPM scsi drives, I am not sure I could write 1 terabyte in 30 minutes. What are they doing with the data on the other end?
I can remember when my dad first got his job driving the candle truck. Once he got his first paycheck, he bought me a C64. Before long, I had programmed my first speaker bracelet. Those were the days...
uname is for system info. The date is (I think) part of the kernel version information (release date?).

I did that on an old slow laptop, and it cut the boot time quite a bit. There is plenty of stuff that you might not need to run like kudzu, lpd, portmap, sendmail, sshd, or clock syncing stuff.

Because if the did...
1. A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that year, instead of before.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would just die for no reason,and you'd have to restart it. For some strange reason, you would just accept this.
4. You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless you bought a car '95 or a car NT, but then you'd have to buy more seats.
5. You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car... Wait a sec, it's that way now!
6. Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice as reliable, 5 times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.
7. The oil, alternator, gas, engine warning lights would be replaced with a single ``General Car Fault'' warning light.
8. People would get excited about the ``new'' features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other brands for years.
9. We would still be waiting on the ``6000 sux 58' '' model to come out.
10. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft GasTM.
11. Lee Iacocca would be hired-on as Bill G.'s chauffeur.
12. The US government would be getting subsidies from an automaker, instead of giving them.
13. New seats will force everyone to have the same size ass.
14. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler would all be complaining because Microsoft was putting a radio in all its models.

Fellow Slashdotters, prepare to be dazzled! [walks to the front of the room] Well, as Timothy already mentioned, the name of the book that I read is "Java Web Services In A Nutshell". It's about these... [describing the book jacket] services... with acronyms like . JAX-RPC... and... WSDL... and Web Services tools and configuration files... [pause] Did I mention this book was written by a guy named Kim Topley? And published by the good people at O'Reilly. So, in conclusion, on the Slashdot scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, one being the lowest, and five being average, I give this book... a nine. Any questions?
Here is a patent application for a pepper shaker shaped like a dog where the pepper comes out of the dog's ass. That's what is being patented: the fact that the pepper comes out of the dog's ass and that it can be called a 'pooper shaker'.
If your offsite backup is within convienent driving distance then odds are it's not far enough offsite.
Safety deposit boxes are good places to store off site backups. They can be just down the street from where you work. If a vault is destroyed in the same disaster, then there are probably more important things to worry about.
There are also services. Our data is backed up in our ISP by a company that only does backup services. They connect to one of our servers through a dedicated line and backup to tape. They then transfer a copy the data to another location in another city. It costs money, but if your data is important, you do what it takes.

Got my atari and apple II almost in the same week. I can still remember my dad saying it was a waste to spend money on the atari and that the apple II was far superior. Course, I was 7 or 8 at the time and did not care too much about computers. That is, until I got my hands on Wizardry.

I did that in college. I stole a sign from the library that said something like 'Stealing from the library is a crime.' Ah, memories...
