SGI has a neat solution to this problem called DMF. It will automatically migrate infrequently-accessed files onto tape, and 'recover' them when accessed (takes a little longer than normal) automatically when there's a tape library, and I expect it will prompt an operator to load a tape if the tape isn't online.
I've no idea what the cost is, or if there's a low-end solution.
yeah. second that on the 5rmb ones working (though they've been 8rmb for me, but I'm crap at bartering). also the ones on the streets are DVD5, and so they will often end prematurely, or not have extras/subtitles/etc.
like you say, it's somewhat hit-and-miss.
also, very very true about the DVD players. I have a region-free one I bought in the US (at considerable expense) because I have a lot of UK stuff. it often fails to play stuff that a Chinese one (much! cheaper) plays just fine.
(This used to be the case...not sure about these days)
You don't *have* to have a TV licence in order to own a TV. They have to catch you watching TV in order to prove you are guilty. They have detector vans that can tell if you're watching TV or not.
I'm sure they can tell if you're watching the BBC or non-BBC, so I'm not sure why you still have to pay if you only watch non-BBC.
Remember when computers used TVs? You didn't need to have a TV licence in order to use them on computers.
SGI Altix 350, thanks to memory only nodes, (IINM, which I could very well be) goes to 384GB per system and only requires a single CPU and single disk. They even have a special on 'remarketed' ones at the moment.

My Powerbook already does this - using Salling Clicker - should be easy for a phone.

You also get 2GB with Fastmail.fm, plus a lot more. It costs money though.

There is a way of making this happen reliably. I forget how. Something about the first web site you visit

Go in via https://gmail.google.com/ and it stays https - seems to work for me.

Well, I don't remember it being a problem before....
If you want to use the DVI output of the Mac Mini with an flat panel, be careful which one you buy :
a nGL5BJ.4@.68a8dc69 ...or if you are dead set on one that is listed as not working, don't buy the Mac Mini.

You can always use webmin.
> Unknown bugs are -- also by definition -- are unlimited in both number and scope.
How do you come to that conclusion?
Surely, it should be that unknown bugs are unknown in number and scope. Doesn't 'unlimited' imply 'infinite in number'?

they are 8rmb on the streets of BJ.
10rmb from a store per DVD5 and 20rmb for a DVD9.
I think we're referred to as 'big noses' - never heard 'round eyes' before.
indeed :) Scratch "UNIX" and it's about right.
if you're gonna do the mac mini beach thing someone rashly suggested, make sure that LCD works with the Mac Mini *before* you buy it/them.

Contrary to all the marketing, it does not work with just any LCD display as I found out with my HP 2335L

You like fog then?
IINM, some RAID 1's can read from each disk concurrently much like RAID 0, which improves read performance.
Write performance, on the other hand, doesn't improve.
...but RAID *can* be used as a backup solution.
All you need is a 3 disk RAID 1 array with one hot-swappable, and you can then swap out that disk drive just like you would a tape.
Much faster, since the 'writing to tape' phase is done automatically, but (perhaps) much more expensive.

Ah, typo. That should read :
Not sure if it shouldn't read, "*in*significant" too.
I'd love a banana.
Why doesn't the government go one step further and fund a org that will market the products of government funded research?

Doesn't sound like it's even trying to hit the mark.
Sounds more like "Power *Stalking*" to me...

Games that use OpenGL Performer can take advantage of multiple CPUs very easily. Some of the ones run by Disney do, for example.
