Like others have already said, backing up to optical media is a pain.. Like seriously 4 gig discs? Ugh.. Painful.
Buy a 320gig HD (about $120cdn), pop it into an external enclosure (or not), and use something like: SyncExp (http://syncexp.com/). Pick your host and mirror drives, run it as often as you want manually or setup some automated crons. And yes, it's for windows.
Otherwise go nuts and setup a slave linux box with a redundant RAID5 array and setup cron jobs there to backup all your critical data every 5 minutes if you wish.
I'm really curious as to how they are going to handle the * html hack that is current with IE6...
If they have fixed the aforementioned bugs (from the IE7 Blog) will we still be able to target IE6 and whatnot the same way? Wonder wonder wonder..
I can see shit + fan if the same * html hack works in IE7, or if there isn't a way to target it specifically.. But who knows, it's gonna be a gong show regardless.
The brutal part about IE being part of the OS is that people seem to be retarded about opening/closing their web browser.
I've heard that Moz loads too slow all the time... Waaaaa.. It's not as fast as IE.
Why don't people just realize that once you open your web browser you should just leave it open?! Why are you even on your computer?:P
Anyways.. back to my point. People will keep using IE simply because it's there, and the convience of being one of the fastest loading applications in Windows (oh wait.. I forgot about Calc.exe).
Oh.. And most people can't wrap their heads around tabbed browsing (or see the point of it). But tell them it blocks popups then they get excited.
Back when I lived somewhere were I couldn't get DSL I had to use these bastards. Funny thing was when I signed up it was for "Unlimited Internet" and all their advertisting was supporting this, no clause, nothing.
They disconnected my service for a week after saying they warned me. I had to physically go downtown to their building and raise some hell. Needless to say they switched it back on. Also our household usage was something like 10gigs/mth and they said that was 100's times more than ANYONE else (*cough* bullshit *cough*).
Since being back on DSL I've had ZERO problems. Granted the service support on Telus is brrrrrrutal, but when it works it works good.:D
Sounds like MS wants to once again jump on the bandwagon of Apple. Perhaps I'm exaggerating but I can foresee MS wanting to charge for updates just like Apple does with its Jaguar, Cougar, Mt.Lion releases;).
Too bad half the updates I've ever install make my copy of windows worse.
I've been seeing something totally different yet extremely effective here.
It's a thin coat of platic, yet you can only see all the digits of the plate while looking straight onto it, if you are slightly to the left or right you will miss some numbers.
Sounds like a good thing to avoid paying fees in the UK, otherwise people try to use them to escape photo-radar here (Canada); however I think they might be illegal.. Hrmm
(GEEK)Crap, I'm going to lose my uptime when I take my computer (which is normally plugged in to my UPS while I transport it) to Joe's house to play starcraft(/"GEEK")
This is not I lie, I knew someone that did this to come to a Net party. OMG.
6-8 weeks? Hah.. Screwed, let alone unplugging the computer. Waiting for the fire is a better solution than voluntarily losing your "year plus" of uptime.:P
I wonder if Nasa's budget getting larger is part of the science-fiction to be tracked and logged. heh.
Are we ever gonna get to Mars or what? I remember reading back in "Science et Vie" about populating and building an atmosphere by 2020 or something silly. Seemed believable then..
Um. Right. Of course, since it's an OpenSource database, it's obviously better. I'm sorry, but that's not quite logical.
Isn't cheaper better? *cough*
And besides if it wasn't for bashing "idols" where would all the Gates jokes go?:P
Um.. Crap, I can't play it, I only have a Matrox G400.:P
Maybe they leaked the alpha on purpose because they knew practically no one can play it. Well unless of course you just stare at the ground the entire game.
Looks really cool though, do we get a chainsaw again?

Yes, yes he was.. ;)
At lest if you are thinking of the kid that had to escape the matrix himself (ie: jump off a building after being chased by agents). Yep.

Actually.. Xeon 2.0 512K $359.00 Xeon 2.4 512K $384.00 CDN $ too..
Isn't that what they said about the Pentium Pro?
:P
All you neeeeeeeeeeed is tiiiiime!
I wonder if you'll need to use an Activation key for their new controllers? :P
But seriously, why would PC's need a standard gaming controller?? I can't see the keyboard mouse combo going anywhere anytime soon..
That makes for a lot of large porn collection. 0_o

The Future of money can't be with Banks (or at least I hope not), cause shit they're making money hand over fist here in Canada.
Shit, when banks take up more than half of the top 10 most profitable companies you know something is up.
Plus, how do they justify raising simple banking fees EVERY year? Debit, no thanks, I'll use my CC's which don't cost me a dime.
While I'm at it, I'd really like to stop writting checks. Be your own bank, stock your pillowcase!
Ya.. Maybe in a perfect world you could stop spam.. Pffht. While you're at it you better turn off your TV.
Hack = Sony iPod?
Why do people like you even bother? First off, you're not the "First post!" Lame.
:)
Say something useful if you want to say something at all..
Yes yes.. I might be trolling, but I've got a point!

Good freakin' luck..
:P
As the pesimist I am, I say this is impossible. What about all the stuff that is so deep in the sea we can't even get to?
I think we'd have better luck finding life on Mars.
I wonder if Nasa's budget getting larger is part of the science-fiction to be tracked and logged. heh.

Put on some powerful magnets on the back of one of these, and you got yourself a cheap internet fridge (why you'd want one is beyond me).
:D
Heck this might be the coolest fridge magnet yet!
ya.. just play some Britney Spears.. BURN IN FLAMES! mwhaha.. Um.. ya.
Start the reactor!
:P

Oh yes.. New games do suck.
:P
Mainly because innovation has warming the bench, and the team is out there playing the same endless game. Bust some caps, click click death, whatever.
The money is in the innovation . Make something totally new, and chances are it will be successful.
I'm personally tired to death in blowing stuff up in the first person, I'd rather play solitaire.
