No, but Luke is told that his father, like himself, was an exceptional pilot.
If this is the same technology as Sprint Broadband just got out of the business of selling (as posited in an above posting), then yes, this is a "Lightning Fast" connection. I can download.zip files from Sprint's 1-hop FTP servers at 6 Megs a second.
But. As soon as the hopcount hits Earthlink on it's to the internet, things slooooooow doooooown. I can top out at 150kps, but only on the best of days, and it's usually more like 50kps.
Also, latency isn't bad until you hit Earthlink. It's about 50ms for the 1st 3 hops or so. It ramps up to 200-300ms once it hits Earthlink.
Buy a hard-drive for the initial back-up, = or > than the (compressed) size of the data to be backed up.
Do the initial back up onto the hard drive.
Do incremental backups on only data changed since the last back up, on CDRs.
To restore, restore the initial backup, then restore every CD since.
I doubt that the average home user (even with their 100+ Gigs of mp3's) changes more than 650 megs of files every month. If they do, a shorter backup cycle is needed.
Anyone who doesn't have permanent room for a rigid one the size they want. Most home cinema projection screens roll up. Now you don't need the projecter.
Untrue. You'll still need a good light source to illuminate the screen. Something equivalent to a projector in terms of power/lumens. Keep in mind that e-paper doesn't glow.

...whoops...
^6 Megs a second^6 Megs in 10 seconds

Hmmm... Perhaps we should ask why the cost of the software will be 20x the cost of the hardware? Naaaah...
Actually, the _one_ thing I really want Linux on PS2 for is playing streaming music/MP3's. The rest is tertiary and incidental.
