These kids are in 4th grade... why don't you stop and imagine for a moment about where technology might be by the time they are adults. I can imagine home automation might be something really cool by then. Tell them about the houses they might live in in the future. Consider brain computer interfaces... suggest to them that one day computers might be so small and invisible that they can talk to their friends across the world just by thinking it... I'm sure u can come up with some of your own grand ideas about where technology can take us. Make sure you throw some of that in. The kids are the future, the future is about hope.. give them some grand ideas.
This is like a convicted drink driver who as terms of their sentence must have a breathalizer device attached to the ignition of their car before they can start it up. Except the government's breath-alizer only works for Fords and if u don't own a ford u have to buy one if u wish to drive.
It BS.
I had 3 400GB drives in an LVM partition with a bunch of Media content on them. Things like photos, mp3 rips of our cd collection, mythtv recordings etc. 1 Hard drive died. Now I have 2/3rds of an LVM partition with pretty much inaccessible media. That i lost the video content doesn't bother me. Loosing all those photos sucks and I'm not looking forward to re ripping 500 CDs. Loosing a Terrabyte of media takes a long time to replace if at all. So my advice is to use raid5 and LVM. If you want to expand the size at a later date, create another raid 5 array and grow your LVM. By the time you want to increase your storage again the price of hard drives will have come down so that a handful of the largest drives on the market will replace both your raid5 and LVM's. rinse. repeat.
There is some good information in this thread and as has been said there isn't a replacement for backups. When bluray burners are available i will be backing everything up to those 50GB discs.
Does this prove that Mars never had liquid water in a similar fashion as Earth. If Mars was covered in lots of water where did the rest of it go? Or, how did it all clump together in one place at the pole? This is awesome news but it raises interesting questions.
Clearly you didn't listen to the speech because a very clear point with respect to this was made. If we have the ability to produce bread at a marginal rate of zero it would be immoral to allow people to starve. I don't know why i took the time to reply to your comment other than to say your ignorance annoyed me so much that i felt maybe you should start at the same point as everyone who did participate.
I was bullied at school, after school i joined the army to pay my way through University. Since the then i've occasionaly ran into one or two bullies from when i was at school. There's something about being a trained killer that unnerves bullies (queue maniacal laughter):)

Last month the PIPENetworks site reported that they had installed a temporary ADSL connection for the webcam. I guess that's what it's still using. Mirrordot: http://mirrordot.org/stories/948bdf7529da4432c4216 0f0c33166c1/index.html
