Perhaps you could share with us your corporate credentials so we would feel better in getting this information from you? When I last checked, to become a public corporation (in the US, anyway), you have to have a charter. You are supposed to follow what you say you are going to do in your charter. This whole "one single goal" thing sounds pretty childish, actually.
And, along the same lines, is this guy a sublime master as slinging disinformation, or is he a dowdy old codger who thinks he understands technology? Did something get lost in the translation here?

Shit, I must be getting althzeimer's disease (you know, where you forget how to spell things), but didn't the government just include China in its "most favored nation" trade status not too many years ago?! This whole charade is hypocrisy of an order of magnitude only a government body could manufacture.
It is being grown up to take responsibility for your own actions. Sony has proved itself to be a bad corporate citizen. The whole reason that corporations were allowed to exist originally was to serve the pulic interest. Yes, the corporate members were out to make money, but the people ALLOWED them to exist. This point seems to have gotten lost as towns and states suck up and whore themselves out to be the most corporate friendly places on earth. It's sad we have no way to generate wealth ourselves to the point we have to agree to corporate blackmail.
You think the government will make corporations behave?! History seems to imply otherwise. The only vote that really matters is with your pocketbook. No more Sony here.

P.S. If you're so "grown up" why to you have to post anonymously?
RAID is an overly-complex solution to this problem. Get a fileserver with two big disks. I've done Suse with both Samba and NFS with little or no knowledge of either. rsync nightly. Every computer in the house has shortcuts in "My Documents" or "home/myhome" that point to directories on the share. Life is good.
If it's really that important that you are worried about your house burning down, then a RAID machine wouldn't solve the problem either. You need to print stuff out and keep it in a firebox.
4th Grade! Hell, in Soviet Russia we learned differential calculus in the 2nd grade. If you couldn't spell "intercontinental ballistic missile" by the time you entered kindegarten, you were sent to Siberia. totally.
It would seem reasonable to assume the poster was talking about apples versus apples. You give 2 numbers: One for a SINGLE YEAR and then one for MANY YEARS. That would be the difference.

so what was your point? You and the parent post are longing for the "good ol' days"?!

Heh. That, and it would look like hieroglyphics...

The word is both used for noun and verb. You put the flim in the camera and then flim somebody.
