Amazon Glacier has really changed my backup strategy since this time last year - I now push all my own, generated content (ie: pictures, documents, things I could never get back if I lost everything) up to Glacier using the free Windows client, Fast Glacier. In February I was charged $0.13 by Amazon for storing ~8Gb of data. I tend to push new content up as and when I create it (for example, after I process holiday snaps, or get back from a day out).
Day to day file changes are now handled by Windows 8's File History feature where my changes are pushed to a small NAS (Dlink DNS-320) in my shed (technically off site?) over a Homeplug AV ethernet link. For added security I use the legacy Windows Backup application (still present in Windows 8) to create ~ monthly snapshots of the system which I store on a 320Gb external HDD. This drive is one of two which go back and forth between my parents house each time I got and visit. These disks are encrypted using Microsoft Bitlocker drive encryption.
I should get around to properly encrypting my NAS in the shed, I've been looking at encfs.
All fun and games until the guy in front decides to fully recline and you no longer have space to open your laptop. Aside from the usual 'hackathon' merits and drawbacks (personally, I'm not a fan of working flat out over my weekends); why on earth would you want to do this on a plane, in a noisy, cramped environment where you get to breathe in the same recycled air for 9 hours of pure mystery... I mean "fun".
I never said little residential backroads should be 65 nor did my statements imply it.
No, but your argument was situational awareness, driving skill and vehicle condition prevents accidents - totally omitting 'reducing speed' from the list. It was the 'driving skill' point that made me post a reply to your comment as it's this kind of 'boy racer' attitude which causes so many deaths.
On a road where 25 is truly justified, people will still die at 15. That road needs a major overhaul... someone's idiot kid gets killed because he didn't look both ways before crossing
This is exactly the reason why speed limits exist and why drivers should not arbitrarily exceed them (whether or not they believe they are skilled enough to do so). Express ways do not have side-walks for a reason; and by the same token, quiet suburban streets are lined with trees - there are places were pedestrians are expected to be, that's all part of the situational awareness.
You appear to be trying to attribute the blame onto 'idiot' pedestrians which I find disheartening - should you ever have a fatal road traffic accident and have the weight of some 'idiot kid's' life on your conscience you may re-consider this attitude. Driving is a means of transports, getting from A to B, not some kind of mindless thrill which the killjoys are trying to erode.
Probably not the most popular answer on Slashdot, and only available to those of us in Europe and Australia; but a Sony Playstation 3 coupled with the Play TV USB TV Tuner addon and PS3 Media Server (an open source DLNA server) makes for one of the best "all-in-one" media center solutions available. A quick rundown of the combined features:
Watch and record live TV
Stream MKV, MP4, DivX over your home network
Lovefilm and Netflix, iPlayer, iTV Player, 4oD all as integrated apps
In all seriousness; how long until the military just deploys (via parachute drop, or soldier) robots into decent vantage points and then just get them to identify targets and have a remote operator push the button... scary stuff.
I ran this app on my own Flash App (http://moshimonsters.com/) and it produced a plethora of "Vulnerabilities" - and really dangerous ones too like "Interesting Variable Name" (a variable named "masterList") and "Possible userdata information" (a constant named "LOGGED_IN")...
To be honest this seems like a lot of FUD being generated by HP - I mean just go look at the dailyWTF and you'll see programmers butting SQL statements in javascript! Still, I must give credit where it's due and thank HP for providing one of the most thorough SWF decompilers I have seen for free.
Wehre you trying to do a RAID-1 Mirror on a SATA controller by any chance? I have had to rewrite the grub config to the "secondary" drive more times than I care to mention

CentOS 5 Released

· Score: 5, Interesting
I know you're trolling but in my last job we had CentOS running on 30+ servers (the rest were Win2k3 servers). I find CentOS to be stable, easy to maintain and navigate around, and most importantly reliable with regular and prompt updates.
You realise it's not exactly difficult to send POST Vars to any website of your choosing? A good designer will check that the POST requests originate from their own server, but alas, not everyone is as "on the ball".
Fair point, having steered my career well away from Microsoft related sysadmin'ing I had never considered such issues. Still, that's the sort of feature I would expect to see filtered into a product as a point release - fix what's broken - but then again maybe I expect everything to live off the GNU-esq. model.
So, what this seems to say: Microsoft will allow anybody and everybody to plant their seed (the ribbon UI), to start the viral/grassroots campaign to their way of doing things. Unless and until it conflicts with their existing products.
Couldn't have said it better myself. This is Microsoft's way of trying to get a 'unique new interface' rolled out as rapidly as possible. If you're not using this 'unique new interface' then you know you're behind the time - hell, knowing Microsoft products, it also means you're probably about to be EOL'd!
"Dude, You're still using XP with those crappy flat menus.... wow..."
I genuinely hope that the public don't buy this latest round of Msft. bullsh-t, Office 2003 is still perfectly capable, why should users be forced to upgrade?

It's not the exact same code, but it's pretty damn close - nice to see all my Log.debug(); messages make it through in the decompilation stage...
Fascinating Presentation for those of you who actually bother to watch the Hour or so of content.

Apart from the fact that Nokia aren't exactly renowned game makers... well, bar Snake that is.

As a flash video designer I would be interested to know what functions you would like to see on the right-click menu?
Start, Pause, Rewind, Mute, Skip?

Wow in exactly the same boat as you. Just heard back from the recruiter that I got the position this morning, can't wait until april 30th.
