Where mirroring does help against HD failure, it does not against worms and virri.
IMHO not an insignificant threat to the target market of this product.
All true, but I think you are comparing apple's and oranges.
Aimed at the 'normal' user it will most likely backup people's letters, documents, bank-slips, holiday pictures and some home-video.
Hardly anyone kept off-site backups of those when they were still on paper and magnetic-tape.
Very clever to aim it at the 'normal' user. No average Slashdotter would settle for less than the biggest big-tower available for such a device. And mini-ATX would not look cool in such an machine;)
On a more serious note. It is good that such a machine is available for the 'normal' user.
It is hard enough to teach non tech-savvy friends and family that they really should do backups of important data, and such a device would be a big step forward for many people I know!
Well. I have been to quite a few places where English was not exactly lingua franca.
In most of these places semi-right pronounciation of foreign words would not have had a big impact.
Hand gestures and my favourite dictionary (which contains pictures of just about anything one would ever need 'on the road') have always been sufficient to find a hotel, a train or bus ticket out and some food.
For the latter: Just walking into a restaurant's kitchen and pointing at the visible ingredients (dead or alive;) ) suffices, and can generate a lot of fun in the process:)
Sounds like a cheap way to get extra distcc power! You would not even need to see or hear the ad's.
Now imagine a beowolf cluster of.... $%^$%[NO CARRIER]
They need it because they need access to information, and the ability to learn.
Many examples exist!
Fishermen in India using the Net to find the best place to sell their fish, instead of being dependent on one local business-man, to name just one!
Give developing nations the possibility to develop themselves, and most of them will!
Choose one for your next holiday destination, if you are still in doubt.
Wrong... The article is not old. You have just been spending too much time online, and should have invested more into your social life!
(and for the humoristically impaired: This was meant to be a joke!)
Access to the source never implied that everyone would get a printed copy...
You can still download from kernel.org without receiving a huge box from DHL, can you not!
Why???
It would make sense for someone in power to really try to achieve his own goals, no matter what.
Re-election would suddenly seize to be a matter to take into account.
Get real!
I would rather have 100 or more spyware programs on my PC than to be raped one single time.
Yes, spyware is annoying, but to compare it to a physical assault is outrageous.
True.. All in all the chance as a world citizen to die of starvation, cancer, heart-disease, AIDS, traffic, dengue-fever, malaria etc. etc. is much much higher than in a terrorist event...
Too bad all those funds are not applied to where they would make the biggest difference.
Terrorism would automatically decline...

Ha, this is younger: printf("Hello World!\n"); I just wrote it, and have just stopped supporting it :P

Most of the material will be deflected by the earth's 'shields', so: No, not really ;-)
It is very usefull in the car... Until we can have WIFI on every road...
