I started deploying X1 http://www.x1.com/ in a small company where I do the IT service and it beats every other desktop search appliance I tested.
I haven't found one necessary file type it doesn't index and the reaction time is usually 1 second. I can't tell how well it works in larger network but for small companies it's really worth testing.
I think the company will have their ROI in 4-8 weeks.
how many breakthroughs do we need to get real e-paper ?
I like the graphic, looks like all the e-ink graphics I have seen in the last 10 years.

And don't even think about it if this is in a post-technological or post-apocalyptic scenario. That's when you want hardcopy! Old-fashioned printouts and photographs... with all their attendant preservation headaches. That should be in the bunker too.
The basic data that defines our civilization along with a lot of technical data is in fact stored on microfilm, in metal containers in a salt mine.
The german Bundesarchiv does this, the Swiss archive does it and I think there are some other countries with these kind of national archives.I think the library of congress has some of these kind of storage capacities.
It's absolutely safe, there has never before been a safer storage for information. The microfilms are produced to last some thousand years. A microfilm reader is essentially some kind oflense with a light and the salt mine was here for the last 50.000.000 years.
It will survive a nuclear war, an asteroid impact, it will probably survive human civilisation.
I wouldn't be too worried.
What people are forgetting is the amount of data we have, one hundred years ago there weren't that much photos around in the first place.
Today... well if we would loose 98% of all data available at the moment we would still have to much data in 100 years.
Imagine in 2100 we will have 100 years of satellite images for some areas, we will have homevideos, TV shows, Internet archives... and thousands of private foundations and archives. At the moment there are more books printed than ever before.
Here in germany we have the http://www.bundesarchiv.de/ it stores all interesting books articles and all laws and speeches in parliament on microfilm in a salt mine.
Just to get the history facts right: My personal libary is ten times the size of all books we have from the dark ages.
Maybe we will have some problems with lost data in 100 years but compared to the problems we have today finding data from 1900 it won't be a problem at all.
And of course we will have infinite number of technical collections ( the history of the cell phone... ) and if we loos the development data of the Ipod or some of the data of the Space Shuttle... I don't care, who needs it ?
yes,yes but... it's not really about copyright. It's more about taking pictures of people without them knowing, like in the sauna. Or in a huddled japanese subway, crowded with little japanese girls with short skirts... whhant the URL ?
Actually I thing it's sensible that my phone makes a noise.
Yes Hamilton might be one of the stupidest SF authors around. But as stupid as the Mindstar books are I really liked Night's Dawn.
Rather strange:
- the fortress of monaco, heavily armed since the starving ( because of climate change) french masses attacked
- the good people of Petersborough who built a damn by hand to protect their city from the rising sea ( we are talking about a very fast rising sea )
- the russians who export only wood because all their trees died... global warming
you people realize that the "target" image has nothing to do with the study ?
The Question is: Can you see the gun?
The first image ( the bloody hand ) is quite violent and how hard I tried wasn't able to see the gun.
Mostly I agree, but I can also see that there may be a suspect who needs to be hold without charge for longer than 14 days.
I think if there was a safe procedure, i.e. two judges have to approve it independently and while there is no actual charge there's a list of possible charges and at least a sound link to terrorism ( instead of tax fraud ) I could live with that.
I mean it sounds more reasonable than having my fingerprint in my passport ( no idea how that's is going to help against someone who wants to kill himself ) and in the worst case I'll be held for three months.

Our robot masters force us to do it and they don't need no gun.

that is rather brilliant ... I hope you don't work for a spammer and no one reads this...

You realize that you don't need any kind of internet connection to watch TV ? Do you ?
