The native capacity of Jag Gen2 drives is 500GB. Using hardware based compression at the drive (depending on the data), you could see up to 3:1 compression, or 1.5TB per tape.
The native capacity of LTO3 tape drives is 400GB. I think they estimate 2:1 compression, or 800GB per tape.
(Understand that these are enterprise class drives, and it wouldn't be cost effective to use them for just one workstation.)
The bigger question is whether all 750GB of your data needs to be backed up. If 10% of it represents original hard work on your part, then backup that data at minimum.
At one point you could hang around on ebay and find microchannel 390 cards to host under OS/2. I don't think there was any legal way to get the OS to run on them.
These days, there is the Hercules project, but the legal hurdles still remain.
The goal is to always have more dirt on your employer than they have on you.
Screw hacking the server. Spend a few months running the license paperwork through the shredder, and then call the BSA. If you do it right, you may even be in line for a reward.
Seriously folks, if you want to treat your employees like criminals, hire people who are already institutionalized. At least you can find out what their predilection is.
A specific URL for IT-only jobs. (Foodservice people ware welcome to use the www URL.)
Settings that stick between reloads.
Some control over how specific the location matches are. If I select area code ###, then I want to be able to control whether non-location-specific matches are returned.
Random samples of postings should be dragged out from time to time and dissected. If some HR monkey puts out ambiguous postings, then his/her karma should suffer.
Under no circumstance should mouse-jockeys be called systems administrators or systems engineers. "Windows Wankers" or "Must-Consult-Someone-Experienced" would be allowed however.
ID Escrow. If companies don't want to admit who they are on a posting, then I don't want to admit who I am either. A neutral third party should know who both of us are, and we can swap real info once we've made it to third base.
No-bullshit rules. If you post a position, it needs to be real, and it needs to be filled.
Also, only one front end allowed per job search site. I don't want to accidently find myself searching the same pool on three different sites, cause someone is selling ads in three different places. (Or maybe I start cranking out fake people.)
I've offered to pair off with a Democrat to leave their party and leave the Republican party. The idea being that I wouldn't be conceding a victory to a party I loath more than the Republicans.
Suprisingly, I haven't had any takers.
Giving all the credit for the events that happen while a particular party has people in office is a bit of a stretch. Both good and bad outcomes can be fostered while some other administration was in office.
Will the current president feel compelled to put down Iran for its attempt to become a nuclear state? Are we ready for the next war?
I finally passed on my 15 year old RCA TV (which only had RF input, and no remote) to my brother to replace his failing 23 year old Mitsubishi TV.
Now I can do without the composite to RF adapter I needed because DVDs have macrovision. (The VCR would've preformed the task, except for macrovision.)
My Sima volume stabilizer is now redundant as well.
I replaced the old RCA with a new Standard Definition 29 inch RCA set which includes an ATSC tuner. (The set includes component input as well.) If I can get 15 years serivce out of the new one, the 269$ purchase price will work out to less than 20$ per year.
Even if the set vaporizes after 5 years, its still cheaper than the interest payments on a bigscreen.
Yes, I could've afforded a HD LCD, but all my favorite content is on DVD boxed sets, and the source material wasn't even HD in the first place.
ATSC is based on an MPEG-2 stream and an AC-3 stream. Even downconverted from HD to SD, the picture looks excellent. If you haven't seen what it looks like, you may be suprised at how good it looks compared to analog broadcast.
What interest would those four have in reducing human suffering? Those people don't have large chunks of disposable income, feel compelled to run shitty operating systems, pay fat margins to traders, fly to the UK or drink soda, respectively.
While you're at it, why not ask the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Father Christmas to take care of the third world? At least for the second group, it'd be in character.
I saw a film in 77 that had some of those. They're called moisture vaporators. I knew of a moisture farmer name Lars who had some, but I hear that he has come afoul of the Patriot legislation.
Next time you're in Mos Isley, you can make a side trip and see the moisture vaporators at work.
The first company I worked at with always on internet access was connected via a 64kbps frame relay. Dowloading slakware onto 1.2MB floppies tended to tie up the connection. (We took breaks between dowloading floppies to allow the mail backlogs to clear out.)
I didn't mind v.32bis internet access at home, once I put up an accelerated web caching proxy.
The motivation to go to broadband access was the fact that it is always on. If you walk across the room and hit the spacebar to power up the system, by the time you sit down and get comfortable, the browser is ready for use. No waiting to hit the dialup pool, no CHAP sequence to worry about, etc.
I'm on my second round of DSL. Verizon bought GTE in my locale, and Verizon is using different gear than GTE did. 3Mbit down is fast enough I almost wonder if the move to FIOS is going to be all that noticeable. With 5Mbit down and 1Mbit up, home users will be able to swap co-lo space with each other.
I think its funny that many people who claim to not see the value in a 30$ pre month broadband account are the same people who are paying 80$ per month for cable.
After 15 years with NTSC over the air, I just made the transition to ATSC over the air. With no cable bill to deal with, FIOS seems pretty affordable to me. I'd rather download my favorite shows anyway. Hopefully some internet-only production houses will spring up. I'd love to see a net-only version of Firely-2. Not likely to happen though.
If Google is successful in building a bridge to the China populace, is the US Government in danger of being put in the back seat?
Do sanctions and the machinations of the state deparment really mean much if China finds itself on a level playing field?
Either party is going to have a hard time getting Joe Sixpack to give a shit about what the Internet will evolve into. Maneuver the Religous Right into thinking that Google is "child porn friendly" and its Google-Pinata time.
Sounds like a bad script for a made for cable movie.
Sorry kid, according to this file you're not a hacker, you're a freelance net-merc. You appear be in posession of a tempest-safe laptop, OpenBSD, and munitions grade crypto hardware.
If you want my opinion, you better become a Patriot, or you may end up as Fed ass pussy.
Sig-Int is always looking for a few good men. Think it over.

Long live the DXR3, baby!
If it doesn't have at least some degree of autonomy, then it is not a robot. If it is not a robot, then the rules don't apply.

You either need to stage a Boston Tea Party, or wrangle a Cheney hunting trip invite for the responsible Canadian.
Tax CDs huh? Hey wassat? Blam!

If the supreme court has a hard time deciding what porn is, how are two Patriot rent-a-cops qualified to make that determination?
Its time to stop wondering about Osama and Saddam. Who are the targets going to be in Iran?
Come now, pedantry is certainly a sex crime in most states.
The DXR3 is a fun card to play with. Hardware accelerated MPEG-2 playback.

You want to see OS/2 in action? If you have a 3494 in the data center, take a look at that. They still run OS/2.
The only thing more dangerous than negotiating with China is not negotiating with China.
If China gets fat, dumb, and happy, then they won't be any more of problem than the other places that plan has been use on.

VIIV, looks like and ASCII diagram of a collar and tie? Sony PC, now with VAIO and VIIV?
Viiv is to multimedia what Centrino was to wireless networking. (An approved parts list and a sticker for the OEM to put on the case.)
I worked all summer and came up short on the money needed for a C64. The CoCo was on sale at RadioShack, and the rest is part of my personal history.
In the CoCo's defense, it did have a more or less legitimate RS-232 port on it.
Dang. Now it is going to be illegal to cruise the 'hood with your car coated in nonstick spray. Pam sales are going to be way down.
Is it AGP? Who makes it? Thanks.
Its frustrating to see a 350$ card with only one DVI connector on it. (Please ship cards with two and an analog adapter.)
People wanting to run two flat panels on their (AGP) system are going to have one less-than-crisp display, or run a 6600GT.
I'd really like to upgrade off my Ti4800SE, but I want dual DVI.

Easy come, easy go. Torvalds has the skills, and he hasn't asked for shit.
