Drives, esp. IDE drives are a commodity. You really don't have any excuse in my book for not having hot backups of pretty much everything. I haven't had a machine without matching internal devices for *years* for this exact reason. If I take a media hit, it's no big deal. Yank it, pitch it, new one installed in a few hours.
And yes, I have a completely separate backup process for disasters. The duplicate drive is for media problems and Stupid Human Tricks.
I'm not sure if you want to connect linux--linux or not, but assuming you do, it's all built in.
All the computers here in my home and in my office are basic, basic installs of debian. Open gdm, pick 'xdmcp chooser', and you'll get to see all (1) computers serving X. So, we all have homedirs and applications on the one box.
It's not the lightest client since each box has a local OS on a local drive, but it's plenty good enough. Maintenance and DR are a breeze...
In short, you'll find a *very* wide range of prayer-styles among christians. On one end, you'll have more formal, more liturgical christians that will only pray pre-established, corporate prayers out loud on Sunday. That's what you seem to be most familiar with, and that is very common.
On the other end, you'll find fundamental or evangelical christians that refer to Paul's instruction to 'be joyful, pray continually'. So, while I walked out to my office this morning, I thought about thanks to God for a new day and asked Him to be with me. I try to live my life aware of God at all times, to me, that's prayer. You could have walked next to me and not even known about it -- it's a God and me thing.

And some of the game consoles also show it can be done, if you get the volume high enough.
Yes, but to be fair, the console companies realize that they can sell at or below cost, and then recoup the profits when the suckers.. er gamers buy proprietary games down the road.
Good point, but not really a fair comparison.

Until they start packing better NTFS support (Captive NTFS is a pain in the ass,.... it's hard for a lot of current Windows users [XP users, mainly] to switch over.
Hang on there - the *they* you should be bitchin' about isn't anybody on a free software team. NTFS is undocumented and has changed a few times. It's a software engineering marvel we can even read the stuff in the first place. You might want to send your comments to the NTFS authors instead.
Would a reasonable person assume that Happy Birthday is in the public domain?
Actually no. I think that someone does own rights to Happy Birthday. That's why you never hear it sung on television shows or movies, and that's why Fridays, Hoolihans, etc. wrote their own stupid-ass birthday songs for staff to sing.
We had a fella from Wyclyffe Bible Translators come out and give a demo of what technology is being used in the missionary field. One of his exhibits was a red plastic bag -- looked somthing like a WalMart bag, that had the entire book of John printed on it. Missionaries are filling these bags w/ helium and sending them into Korea and other places.
why don't all the people complaining about the NYT simply register and forget about it?
'Cause it's *annoying as hell*, and when people like you stick false data in, it's not as painful to NYT as it would be if no one read the bloody thing in the first place. It's obnoxious, and I won't have anything to do with it -- they need to know or they'll be stupid forever.
Any time a stock gets attention of non-StockNerds, you're going to see this type of thing happen.
The odds of SCO coming out on top are low, but the stakes are high. So, as others have more eloquently pointed out, the 'hype & greed' factors are kicking in to drive the price up. Everyone wants to kick in a couple of bucks in case the under-dog wins. (Don't for a *moment* confuse right and wrong with the opportunity to make a buck -- bad mistake.)
You saw the same non-StockNerd action with RedHat, and you'll see it again w/ the Google IPL. Quite predictable really...
Faubackup is a super-slick backup option that will save you from a) media failure, and b) stupid mistakes. It won't fix c) catastrophy, but that's easy anyway.
I have two devices in my soho development machine, one hdd is for backup only to cover media failure of my main drive. Each day, faubackup runs against my home dir and makes a new replica over on drive 2. The really neat part is that it uses links in the filesystem, so the new dir *looks* like it should, but only new files actually take up space on the filesytem.
Out of the box, it keeps two yearly images, twelve monthlies, 4 weeklys and 7 daily copies. I have more choices to recover fresh stuff than older stuff (obviously). Old stuff falls off automatically each day too.
Available for Debian. I can *not* over-emphasize how cool this little utility is. It's a real 'set-it-and-forget-it' backup solution.
My simple plan is that each off-site CD (tape) that I make gets a date. I keep 5 year's worth of data.
Once I accumulated 5 years worth of backups, I copy the expiring data to new media and throw the old away, this gives me a little protection from 1) aging media and 2) aging i/o devices. I also make sure that as I get rid of older devices, that I convert all backups it might use before getting rid of the device.
You can get a CD with IBM's last non-licensed OS, and the hercules hardware emulator, documentation, code, and *tons* of neat stuff at the following link.
I've used the Turnkey MVS project to learn a ton about mainframes, and have a 3270 console staring at me right now. Invaluable tool for learning abou the 'guts', algthough the new and sexy stuff (ie: ISPF/SDSF) aren't there. You should check it out though...

What the hell is it doing on the front page of SCOdot?
Doesn't do much for me.
Now granted, slashdot does gather good stories, but it's the same old song: what really counts is the community contribution via comments.
Now if I wanted a story w/o commentary from bright people, why not go to one of dozens of other sources?
I just don't see the value.
