No, I understand 'backup' - my question was about the process of comitting the particular file to the backup drive. I can see where an automatic backup should do it itself, but there are lots of things I do that don't NEED to be backed up and, so, I do mine manually.
When I save a file and want to back it up it can be done in one of two ways: 1) save it to the current drive and DRAG a copy to the backup 2) save it to the current drive and SAVE IT AGAIN to the backup from WITHIN the application
I repeat my previous observation: It _seems_ like TFA is saying not to save it to the server directly from the application. (i.e. step 2 above)
>> Programs written for Mac or Windows will not run. >> that's true, also true is that Mac doesn't run windows or linux software and windows can't run Mac or linux software nor in the case of Vista even use older pieces of software *written for windows* game over.
Um, actually, MacIntels _can_ run windows software (and some Linux dists, I believe) through Parallels and BootCamp.
I'd rather see a snowy picture @30FPS (29.97?) than choppy digital images at a few frames/sec or images that constantly 'shatter' while waiting for a keyframe. Low framerates are not an acceptable tradeoff for clear images - for me.
Question to all: are the digital transmissions still in the same bandspace as their analog counterparts? I'm near the edge of my cable's 'market' and watch several UHF stations that aren't must-carrys on my cable system - and I'm hoping that I'll still be able to use my current antenna/rotor/amplifier with a converter box after the change.
I got a laugh out of the irony too. I regularly analyze china-counterfeits of my employer's products - they're found evenly distributed throughout the country and our other international markets.
I've used the same email address too - and while I haven't received a personal response I have a vouched-for 'friend of a friend' who works there and she _was_ able to check it out and found that my email _was_ read and considered.
Her response _also_ repeated the point that Apple (quite naturally) prefers receiving bugreports through the proper (secure) channels and not having to cull them from unrestricted forum postings.
Regular suture material doesn't come in bright colors (darks contrast better so you can see what you're doing) so bright fluorescent (easy to see) monofilament (easy to sterilize) about a foot long on each sponge won't get in the way and will be ultimately visible for removal.
I can't figure out the article: they're talking about "launching" bombs. I normally take it that 'bombs' are dropped and 'missles' are launched; bombs use gravity and missles are powered.
Are they trying to say that they're firing the bombs backward to the direction of flight so that they end up with significantly lower forward-velocity and, thus, fall with a shorter ground track?
I can figure it must be merry hell trying to sight a target SO far ahead (at your given speed and altitude) that you have to drop the bomb SO far away and hope its trajectory holds to the target.
Yes, but kids seeing it as a 'pet' doesn't generate nearly as much Ph.D.-output as if they see it as a 'peer'. Gotta keep those phony-baloney jobs, y'know...
No, not just for cleaning up the analog picture - if you have a borderline signal level, making your system drop packets that need resending, or making it freeze until the streaming re-syncs, then amplifying the signal level (and keeping a good S/N ratio) _will_ help your digital 'reception'.
The cable companies want to stop supporting analog signals now - they can fit eight digital signals in the 6mhz space of one analog channel. They can also fit 7 HD channels in the space of two analog channels. (disclaimer: this info comes from a technerd friend who works for Charter) And, of course, the more channels they can push on you the more they can charge you.
BUT they don't have to stop supporting analog sets - there'll still have to be a box (theirs) between your set and the head-end no matter what, and the box can output analog channels 3/4 or digital channel [whatever] or NTSC-composite or s-video, or SDI, VGA, or whatever to connect to your TV or monitor & speakers.
The digital/analog boxes in the field now will last looong past 2012 and the cables would be idiots to replace them as long as they're functioning. Consider: "we're recalling your box, you can either upgrade your set or cancel your account" - consumer ill-will and corporate suicide in the same sentence.
It IS an interesting copncept, but I'd rather see images with cars and pedestrians arount the vehicle - you SURE aren't gonna see images as nice and clean and 'correct' as the flat-plane parking lot surface shown in the demo.
I'd bet the imagery would look pretty wild and subject to a hell of a lot of interpretation by the driver.
How much compensation will they get when someone anonymously uses their IP to text/chat/email/etc. a threat to the gov't? Or starts a virus/worm/etc.? DDoS?
No tritium or "betavoltics". And anyways: tritium's half-life = 12.3 years; PU-238 = 87.7 years. It's senseless to use a short-life material for a spacecraft.

So then, what? Create/edit a file on your working drive, save it there, quit the app, and drag the file to the backup drive via Windows?

Agreed. Everything looks too perfect for photos. And one of the earlier comments in the article also says this.

I suspect the boxes may negotiate for the best signal/compression they can, weighted against the signal they're receiving.
I bought one of these http://www10.epinions.com/content_129202687620 and it tremendously helped both my picture quality and my cable modem.

Look at http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/galileo/messenger/oldmess /RTG.html and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium to learn that the Voyagers used Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators which used plutonium-238 - which is an aplha-emitter.
