Eventually, the system will collapse in a morass of useless data. There is a big difference between data and information. Google converts data into information.
1. The tape monkey didn't make the backups in the first place and tried to cover his ass by reporting them stolen.
2. The tape monkey re-used the tapes for another backup session.
3. The janitor stole the tapes thinking that it may be a porn movie.
4. The CFO took the tapes to hide a case of insider trading.
5. The CEO took the tapes thinking that they are from the security cameras and he didn't want a trist exposed.

Well, by switching to Linux, you basically trade one head-ache for another, but I can assure you that the Linux head-ache is much smaller and infrequent.
Most people who complain about Linux do so because they tried some 5 year old version or tried to use last year's Red Hat or Fedora. If you would install a current Mandriva or Suse however, then you won't look back.
Anyhoo, my notebook PC is dual booting XP/Mandriva. I only use XP for deliberately infecting and trying out virus fixes before I go and fix a client's machine...
1. Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky-tacky, Little boxes, little boxes, Little boxes, all the same. There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky-tacky And they all look just the same.
2. And the people in the houses All go to the university, And they all get put in boxes, Little boxes, all the same. And there's doctors and there's lawyers And business executives, And they're all made out of ticky-tacky And they all look just the same.
3. And they all play on the golf-course, And drink their Martini dry, And they all have pretty children, And the children go to school. And the children go to summer camp And then to the university, And they all get put in boxes And they all come out the same.
4. And the boys go into business, And marry, and raise a family, And they all get put in boxes, Little boxes, all the same. There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky-tacky And they all look just the same.
Hmm, Australia has VCRs? China must be dumping all their obsolete VCRs in Australia. Give them another ten years, and they can rewrite the law to cover the obsolete DAT recorders, followed closely by CDR...
Hmmm, the previous Pope said: "I just loooove the children" - without realizing that, that is the whole damn problem with the Catholic church and child molestation...
Well, actually this isn't the American way at all - it is the Greek way from roundabout 350BC - The days of Aristotle and Stoa. The problem is that most Americans have not read the classics and therefore keep going over the same old, tired, ancient arguments, that were argued to death thousands of years ago already in Europe...
Progress? What progress? We are still mentally in the bronze age.
Hmm, Karl Marx also didn't write Das Kapitol either - though a nice book about all the Kapitols of the world may have been more useful as a late 19th century Koffee table book, than the series he did write...
No, this is not a blurb for KDE.
Usually married couples pay more tax than unmarried couples. This is why in Canada the gay marriage thing is mostly a non issue. Anyone with half a brain cell feels that if gays want to marry in order to get the same disadvantages as other married couples - fine - go ahead - the Liberals always need more money for their scams...

The old job preservation argument - Need to be able to blame Microsoft.
As for me, I test all patches - the ones from MS too - before deployment. I don't blame Microsoft, I take responsibility for what I do.
So crocodiles are not lizards? African (aka Nile Crocodiles) are friggen huge - up to 16 feet in length.
I think "Dirty deeds, done with sheep" was better...

Tape Ape - of course - my sincere apologies to all Code Monkeys and Tape Apes.

No, only the *reporting* of leaks will stop instantly...
Oh, goody, then maybe New Zealand corporations will stop making and distributing Windows spyware: http://www.spyaxe.com/
Well, maybe DVD playback will be the killer application that Linux needs...

Proving that ticky-tacky is a long lasting building material?
If you can't find yourself in Google, do you exist?

God Atlas is farting...
Yup, the front connector was invented for use with the camcorder, circa 1980, long before the dinosaurs...
Uhhh, is that why the USA has so many lawyers?
Yup, those must be spelling mistakes - should be grep and yast...
Well, yesh, for the kind of wine the average slosheddatter can afford you are abschooly correct - hic!
Hmm, it has been said that in Moscow it is only really vinter, after it snowed for the third time.

No you got that rant wrong. It should be: "I have done it before and I'll do it again. I am going to f*ing kill Google!"
