I know wrestling shoes are quite light, as well as relatively thin, especially compared to running, or just about any other shoes. Have you tried those?
Welcome to Digital World. My wife is an archivist and family historian, and has been worried about similar things for years now. All of the digital cameras, digital documents, digital whatever are not being backed up in an archives safe manner. We will lose a large part of our personal as well as business history because of things not being backed up.
We both work a the local University, me in IT, she in Archives. I personally know of no plans to do anything about all of the syllabi, meeting minutes, and who knows what else that are not being stored somewhere. People don't bother to keep printed copies because it's on the computer. People delete things because "somebody has a printed copy somewhere", that gets tossed a year from now.
Yes, we will lose a generation or more of our history if we don't figure out good, open source (or at least well documented) means of storing things now. we already have, I'm sure.
I vaguely recall an article on/. some years ago about a different way that, again as I recall, was about as efficient as physically possible. It had something to do with using electrons being jumped across a vacuum barrier to carry the heat away. Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? Or, what the status is of that technology? Just did a quick Google search, and nothing looked like what I am thinking of.
I have a MacBook Pro here at work, and happen to have a Dell 2001FP LCD from a previous workstation purchase. I've found that turning the Dell display 90 degrees and telling the MBP to use the display that way works VERY well. I can now run 190x120 char ssh sessions if needed. 120 lines should be enough for anybody...;)
As I understand it, in the case of ZFS, which the question specifically mentioned, nothing. You get a new RAID controller, attach the drives, and let ZFS figure out what's where. In ZFS, you don't (or at least it's highly recommended that you don't) use RAID on the controller(s). Give the disks to ZFS and let it figure it out.
A bonus of using ZFS (RAID-Z) is that the 'write hole' that traditionally shows up in RAID configurations disappears. It writes all data, leaving the previous data alone, and the last thing it does is change a pointer from the old data to the new. Also a reason the snapshots are so easy.
I used to live in Glendale, AZ. At the time, while all the cities around us were putting in cameras to catch red light runners and speeders, Glendale tried to time their lights such that if you went the speed limit, you would get green lights.
This reminds me of when I lived near Detroit. They had done something similar with Ford Rd, which comes in to Detroit from the West. The catch was, you needed to consistently drive about 5 miles OVER the speed limit to hit every green. So, in this case they were basically encouraging speeding. Go figure.

Actually, a former co-worker of mine has one of the new green VW bugs, and her license plate reads 'iBug', so not far off. Yes she is a Apple/Mac. person, as is her husband. I still have a number of old Apple ii floppies lying around that they gave me.
In response to this as well as a post further down about it being known since April 2006, it seems to me that only makes matters worse. If IE 7 is supposed to be so secure, why didn't the fix an exploit know for 6 months?
Same here, except I've got an Apple Laserwriter 630. Best, it was free. I ran the Mac management utility on it back in 2003 or so, and it already had already printed 130,000 pages. My wife does a LOT of printing, so I imagine it's quite a bit higher by now.
I can't believe I hadn't seen anybody with Apple II of whatever sort listed. OK, so browsing at 3 probably hid them. Anyway, the first computer actually in my home was an Apple//e. I think it was already enhanced, but I'm not sure. I still have that one, although it's presently in the garage because we just moved, and I haven't been able to set anything up yet.
The first computer I personally bought was a//gs. Still have that one as well. It's keeping the//e company. Most recent card I bought for any of my computers (linux world now) was a CompactFlash adapter for the//gs. If your interested (he's still making them) do a google search for CFFA apple. He should be the first listing. Didn't want to kill his server with a direct link.
Still love the// computers. Same as everybody else it seems, they were my real intro to programming.

OK, so OCR it, or just plain re-type it. If it's this important/restrictive/whatever, what's an hour or two of typing?
Subject really says it all.
A minor addition would be 'hide the valuable item under the seat' or some such.

Wow, the motd is just too appropriate on this one...
Wait, advertisements?
Neither. Both can be extremely jealous of their own ideas/world view.

Actually you can, just stay outside of a 1 mile radius of all Starbucks and you'll be safe. So, basically, move to the moon.

Well, THERE'S your problem. Try 'James'.
Great, now I'm gonna have to watch that movie again. Thanks!
Also, in Wisconson, it's Wisconsin. Even Firefox knows that!
OK, funny at first blush. After thinking about it for a second though, I have a question. Did you s/radius/diameter/ on purpose, or was it a mistake?
My main computer is an Apple //gs, you insensitive clod...

Severus Snape as a Mac... the possibilities. So, the PC should really be Michael Gambon?

Wouldn't this only affect color printers? The request was for B/W only.
