Michael Light sifted through thousands of NASA shots (many never published) to produce a coffee table book of Apollo photography, "Full Moon". Definitely worth finding a copy if you are interested in Apollo. Many of the shots reproduced are breathtaking; all are beautiful in some way.
You're wrong - but only by about an order of magnitude. A 6x6cm Hasselblad frame records at least 400 megapixel equivalent (according to my tests with medium format frames and drum scanners).
...if you want the state of the art in data integrity. (Checksumming, transactional copy on write, self healing, simple pool management, snapshots, filesystems, etc.) Read more: Solaris 10, OpenSolaris.
Re: "backup old file and write a new one" - A transactional copy-on-write filesystem such as Sun's ZFS is doing almost the same job, transparently.
I have little doubt that copy-on-write will eventually supersede overwrite-and-pray filesystems. The wins are numerous, including cheap snapshotting, etc, etc. Install OpenSolaris and give ZFS a try today!
1. The cloud! 2. Most virtualisation solutions include networking and file sharing. That is easily secured, especially since the host O/S is probably not Windows.
But seriously, does anyone still do real work on Windows?
VirtualBox snapshots are ideal for this purpose. The host can be OS X, Linux, Solaris...
The only thing better than this is not running Windows at all.;)
This can't help in the case of malware you don't know about - so naturally you would still avoid using any valuable logins or data on Windows (in particular never do your online banking on it). But everyone knows that by now, right?

Java and Erlang did. Python isn't particularly 'functional' despite some recent syntactic grafts.
I certainly wouldn't use LVM, RAID-5, ext4, XFS, or Linux. I'd use Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris and ZFS.
And now Obama's elected, all that bad stuff is stopped and it's never gonna happen anymore!!
But the OP was talking about a *HARDWARE* problem.
Merely *wish* we'd never heard of her...
ZFS, on the other hand, is production ready today.
So far Linux has nothing even close.

...in putting "Microsoft headquarters" and "centres of excellence" in the same paragraph.

Just to switch entirely to Linux or OS X?

Was using rm -fr on an NTFS partition, while booted into Linux.

Apple's keeping the radical I/O expansion well under wraps! At first I was like... wtf... then I was like... cool.
