  1. Re:Omni Outliner Pro on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    I do not want leave things to chance. What if your home server gets stolen? What if you misplace the hdd? you can never be sure.

    I have at least 4 extra copies of the hdd image at all times, so the chance that all 3 will get corrupted at the same time is very low.

    1. Automate nightly backups to a home server.
    2. Test important stuff once a month. Everything else test every couple of months.
    3. Do a weekly rotation of the 3rd drive in your raid-1 with a drive that you keep in a safe in a bank or at a relatives or friends place. MAKE SURE the drives are encrypted.
    4. Daily diffs of important stuff can be saved online.

    It gets a bit tricky when you started backing +100GB of data. But thankfully 2.5 and 3 TB drives are here.

    With the help of Physics and a PC I can accurately calculate and predict the flow of water down a slop with certain obstacles in its way. In this case WATER does not have free will.

    In the Theoretical "God" model no one else has free will. This is a more accurate analogy.

    So you are telling me that the players that you TiVo-ed are free to anything they want in that recording.

    Every time you are going to replay that game it will be exactly the same. The recorded players do not have a Free Will.

  17. Re:Better & cheaper? Not my Nokia on Symbian, the Biggest Mobile OS No One Talks About · · Score: 1

    I would suggest that you look at the prices without the contracts. As with a contract you pay for your phone not in 1 go, but in installments.

  18. Re:Slackware is even better now... on Unusual, Obscure, and Useful Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    MrHanky, you must have not noticed that Viol8 is hardcore as he can read and write directly to a gz with his needle. I bet that he posts to /. with the help of a phone and an ability to mimic a modem.

    He is clearly too leet for you even to look at, let alone argue with.
