What else is there? It's not like you can back up to a SAN, and then stick the SAN in a courier bag and send it to remote storage.
In fact you can. With a DR site you can replicate the backups to a remote SAN.
/. Yokel #1> But I have TiB(s) of data. It would take more than 1 day to backup 1 TiB over my WAN.
You don't do a full back up remotely. Intelligent software will transmit only the incremental. If you want you can locally seed the remote site before deployment.
/. Yokel #2> Haha, you burned that last guy. But seriously, even my deltas are fairly large.
Seriously, source side de-duplication and compression. In most work environments the amount of net new data is not very large.
/. Valid User> Does this even exist.
For serious people willing to pay: Avamar and Datadomain are examples. I don't know about the FOSS space though. If there were I would be interested in.
Tape is legacy.
It's difficult to restore from, sometimes you need the full and all accumulated incrementals.
It's difficult to know if data is even safe until you actually perform a test restore which NO ONE does on every backup.
It's inefficient. You can't just re-use parts of a tape.
Managing tape libraries is a needless nightmare.
Investing in a legacy architecture should result in a beating.
industry and politics will conspire to do what's profitable, not what's good policy.
Then as a member of a democracy it's your job to make sure that such behavior is not profitable, and good policy is.
What country do you live in that has a democracy? Seriously. Most countries have a republic at best. That system involves voting a member into government based on promises. Then having those promises reneged upon without consequence other than not being re-elected again.
You know what I'd like to see: Politicians sign a binding contract based on their platform promises with clearly defined sanctions for not following them. Sanctions up to and including personal liability.
If you do, make sure you attach a string to it, for easy retrieval when done. And refrain from doing it in your car, the brown stains are awfully difficult to get out of the back seat...
That's just plain ludicrous. How can you drive from the back seat?
Seriously, self-censorship is a good thing, often under-practiced.
I agree.
And as to the ACLU fighting to say profanity is everyone's right, well, it's everyone's right to be a fool too, but that doesn't mean it's the best thing to be.... Is the ACLU going to go to court and support the Constitutional right be a fool too? It makes about as much sense.
I find it amazing that people will say a Christian doesn't have the right to spread/proselytize their religion, or the symbols of Christianity offend them, and want all symbols of Christianity wiped out, while they will fight for the right to offend someone else with their profanity. It's nothing but pure hypocrisy.
As someone that taught in a French university: "I don't f-ing care whether students come or not in my class". It is THEIR problem if they fail the exam and the mid term, not mine.
What I find entertaining is some students started a facebook page to protest their invasion of privacy. Isn't that IRONIC?
Frankly, I was a bit surprised to see LON come out and suggest people should not commit crimes when they are desperate for money. I think this would be obvious to any rational person.
Unfortunately, there are people that do become irrational when they lose their source of income. I have had several ex-coworkers call and ask for monetary assistance. There was one that pulled a knife on me when I told him I couldn't help as my wife had lost her job the previous week.
Seriously, what kind of place do you work at, are you a carny for a traveling circus?
I'll be letting my Dual Tuner Dish DVR boxes grab all our favorite shows up to two at a time. We'll watch them exactly when we want to, and we'll skip over all the commercials by pressing the Yellow Arrow key on our remote 6 or 7 times.
Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Kumar Patel: [to illegal immigrant] I'm telling you Jorge, the first thing you have to do when you get to America - buy a device called TiVo. Okay? Freedom means nothing if you're a slave to regular programming. I promise you that.
Between applications from recent grads that can't find jobs, ex-grads currently working at Starbucks, and those folks laid off to increase CEO paychecks, EVERY job market is already flooded. Might as well do something you enjoy for 4 years. You're going to be fucked after that no matter what field you go into.
Yes, and this way you get to carry around a large non-dischargeable debt to remind you of all the good times!
I sincerely hope that US people are less dickheaded than you. In civil law countries (like Italy too) the judges have little choice in applying the law.
If I yell in the streets something libelous I am responsible, even if someone else told me first.
If someone yells fire in a crowded chat room and you run out of your house in your underwear... then you deserve all the ridicule you get.
Not to mention that a huge number of cows are fed corn, which is a food that eventually causes liver failure -- by the time the cow is slaughtered, it was basically going to die anyway. But hey, the FDA says that the quality of beef is determined by marbling, and corn gives way more marbling than grass (the cow's natural food, which we don't exactly lack), and it lets us grow and subsidize a shitload of corn, so who cares about the cows?
More importantly the corn changes the acidity of the cows stomach which promotes e.coli. growth.
Don't forget cows sh@tting a lot, it getting all over the machine means a high maintenance cost.
Yeah, but then you create a circle of really long treadmills that all terminate at the center. Then a dump truck sits below the e-poo-center and collects all the poo. That way the treadmill will also offset cost of shoveling and collecting manure.
Oh did I mention the dump trucks will be electric and directly powered by the cows.:)
Intelligence, probable introversion, and a fondness for non-mainstream pursuits isn't the sort of thing that can be blamed on a specific DNA sequence. Even if certain genetic factors encourage it, it's not like geekiness is hemophilia or something.
Intelligence can't be linked to genetics? Probable introversion; autism can't be linked to genetics?
If intelligence isn't linked to genetics then how did I know that neither of your parents were very smart. Figure that one out.
More of the "geek" stereotype. I'd say around half the geeks I know, who are in or above their 30's, have children and are happily married. The other half have a long term girlfriend and haven't had children due to economic factors. When I was a young geek, in my 20's, I had several girlfriends, and could have spawned at any time, but chose not to.
The average couple needs to have > 2 children (~2.1) in order to maintain the population. If only half your "geek" friends are having 2-3 children then they are a dying breed, just as the author explains.
A leader who ignores a human being's natural right to free speech, or to hear/read the words of the speaker, no longer deserves to be a leader. He may either step-down voluntarily or by force of the citizens' will.
The average Joe is afraid to let internet filtering into the hands of the average politician but at the same time are afraid of letting the pirate party control the economy.
What the pirate party should do is run on the platform of: if elected they will reverse all internet censorship and enact legislation to make it near impossible to re-establish THEN step down and hand over majority control.
I agree with your comment about the mouth, but not with "nothing uncanny about it." It creeps me out a fair amount. I don't understand why we can't just have robots that look like robots and people that look like people. R2-D2 wasn't humanoid, wasn't creepy, and was still completely trustworthy.
When R2D2 can blow me then I'll trust... hmmm wait. Maybe that's what made R2D2 trustworthy, that he didn't go around blowing everyone. Would have made a hell of a movie though.
I'd rather get to a point in America where the city planners meet with business owners and focus on reducing the time the majority of people commute from their homes to their place of interest.
Oh, you didn't hear. With all the off-shoring of jobs and an unemployment rate of 14% in California (10% nationally), they really have reduced the average commute time.
Three cheers for corporate welfare and government planners.
However, most research and medical breakthroughs come from publicly funded money, research, and institutions. They only find their way into the corporate portfolio latter.
Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.
Project goals were to
* identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA,
* determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA,
* store this information in databases,...
Are you claiming the Federal Reserve is lying about basic economic statistics? That's actually a far more serious charge than saying they failed as regulators.
Are you kidding? The government manipulates the Consumer Price Index on a regular basis, this is a fact!
If sector X (ie energy goes up in price), then X's weighting is magically reduced. By their standards we all own computers that would otherwise be worth millions of dollars in the 60's so we're ALL rich. Of course, the average person can't afford proper health care or a diet of non-processed food, but WE'RE RICH!
"Deep discount" on research and development from the Chinese government? Big deal!
Didn't the US just drop $750 Billion into banking. I bet any day now they'll produce some spectacular product that will revitalize the American economy. Wait for it, wait for it...

Then tell them to call up and have the fucking book delivered. Or would that knowledge be gleaned from having skimmed TFS?

Give them the documentation you have and do not say a word
If your product requires a manual than your user interface sucks.
Add a wizard for common scenarios... anything but documentation that no one will read.
Prior art, I do this all the time.

Shut the fuck up.
32GB should easily be enough for your main system drive no matter what desktop OS you're running
Hahah, 32GB of storage and 640K of memory, gotcha.

I dunno, if I was forced to exercise 8 hours a day, I probably wouldn't be all that happy...
Jesus H., it's a NON-POWERED treadmill. There's nothing stopping them from standing still or even laying down.
You guys keep picturing a cow on a POWERED treadmill where they are forced to exercise. That would be the EXACT F**KING opposite.
