USB based Disk on Key's are the next solution for universally avaliable removable storage.

in 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 meg sizes they're the way to go.
Unfortuantly computer makers aren't including them with new machines. My theory why is b/c they're a separate device not attached and removable like the venerable 3.5" floppy.:-(
> For those not in the know, Darwin is the foundation on which MacOS X is based. It's a BSD Unix, including significant contributions from the NetBSD and FreeBSD kernel and userland code. -----------------------
Which userland are they referring to? The only Userland I know make web development software, not operating system code. Anyone know who they're refering to?
It's manipulating abstract relations in a formal language and doesn't provide the kind of straight forward visual dynamic story that good movies are made of. Now the result of a program may produce something of great visual interest, but the process of programming itself is not the visually interested. To think of it another way, do you know of any good movies about writing a book? I don't mean the action described in the book, I mean the actually process of an author writing.
Hi, I work in a Cogntive Neuro-Imaging lab at Princeton University. We use an fMRI scanner to image people while they're doing working memory tasks. Our work generates a substantial amount of data that needs to be archived. Our current need is to archive around 500 GB, but this figure will likely increase to 3 to 5 TB in the next two years. Our current plan includes investigating a Pioneer double sided DVD-R jukebox that should store 9.4 GB per disk and be available around this summer. We considered tape solutions but found them significantly more expensive (when we factoring in the cost of the robotics) for similar capacity. A DVD based solution also offers the promise of non-proprietary universal access. We would be very interested in any advice/suggestions that the Slashdot community has to offer about "reasonably priced" high capcity data archive solutions. Thank you.
