The speed at which you can find email compared to outlooks find makes this a worth while install. Too bad the interface is starting to look a bit Real Inc... which is never a good thing.
I've 2 x 300gb drives in raid 1 (mirroring), i had to raid them after my previous 200gb drive failed and i had no backup (you try backing up 200gb cheaply) losing months of video work. Raid 1 is hardly great for throughput, especially when working on very large files (i now copy everything over to a spare 15k scsi drive to work with)
A WORM system that's similar in size to tape but costs a lot less is a very attractive product to me.
We're used to wasting our POUNDS on failed IT ventures. If you've been following the recent upgrade of the NHS (national health service) ITC systems you'll know the government IT projects work something like:
1) Get overpaid consultancy firm to suggest "great idea"
2) Insert Tax Money
3) ???
4) Insert More Tax Money
5) ???
6) Abandon project at a massive loss.
We're Brits remember, we'll just take it on the chin and have a game of tennis to vent....
If i recall, the "Next Generation" console was called LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) with the specifications (voyager):
Crew Interface Software: LCARS 2.3
Access Time: 4,600 Kiloquads/Second
Number of dedicated modules: 2,048
Capacity/Module: 630,000 Kiloquads
Simultaneous access to 47 million data channels
Transluminal processing at over 8 trillion calculations per nanosecond
Operational temperature margins from 10 degrees Kelvin to 1,790 degrees Kelvin
The article talks about cell computing... that's so 2005.
Instead of patching my thinkpad, i just uninstalled all traces of Symantec Software. I'd been debating whether to ditch the preinstalled antivirus (so thinkpads aren't perfect, just almost) for the past few weeks as it's been reminding me my subscription (which i never paid for; or wanted for that matter) is up for renewal and this tipped the balance.
Also the following helped:
I've installed gentoo so i'm in linux half my time (if it wasn't for exchange it would be all my time)
I run firefox
We use messagelabs at work and my personal emails through yahoo are all scanned
Windows firewall *cough* seems to do a good job at keeping the machine hidden *cough*
Funny.. now Norton's gone XP seems much more responsive. Probably just in my head.

I have to say I'd be happy as a schoolgirl if schoolgirls brought me a server.

Kiss my shiny metal.... ohh wait. Dupe.
I second this.

Sounds too much like Mandribble and that can't be good for business
True. We all know what happened to the farscape project!
Industry first to have new york upside down?
Closely followed by a little red cross.... damn it!
