Then I sync that to the daily backup. Files that have not changed are hard-linked between all the days that share them. It very efficient and simple, and retrieving files is as simple as doing a directory search.
Yep, I saw Brazil play. They sucked. Maybe that had nothing to do with the horns, but why would you hold that game up as an example?
They should have pummeled North Korea. Instead it was a close game. If I knew nothing else about Brazil I'd say they didn't have a chance of getting past the group stage after watching that abomination.
I generally use MP3 (car, iPhone, etc.), but I rip to FLAC for archival purposes. It's nice to know that in the future I can re-convert the music and start from scratch.
Also, I like the fact that I can use FLAC track/album gain on my Squeezebox at home but normalize the tracks for output to MP3 for use elsewhere.
MP3 encoders/decoders have gotten seriously good and if you don't know the songs well it's easy to be fooled. However, if you DO know the music very well it's often easy to tell the difference. It's not worse, really, just different and for people with strong auditory memories it can be a little annoying.
I also listen to a lot of music with significant distortion and MP3 seems to be weak in this area.

I live in Arlington, VA and this is a very bike friendly area (as are some of the suburbs beyond). There are numerous bike trails and bike lanes throughout the area.
I bike to work and for pleasure regularly and generally find that the driving public is very polite. I think often that is because they can clearly see that I'm commuting to work. When I bike for pleasure I stay off the roads as much as possible.
I do regularly see bikers acting like assholes, but then again I see the same from other drivers when I'm in my car. The difference is that bikers run a much higher risk by violating the laws than drivers do.
I run a laptop with 4GB real memory and a desktop with 8GB - both are running XP64 and have 64GB SSDs (though the desktop is 3x32GB RAID0). I have no swap under either and they are both stellar performers. I never use all my real memory - so why would I need swap?
On my old desktop the drive ran continuously even when RAM was not completely utilized. The drive was a Raptor so I really noticed it and it annoyed me. It's one of the reasons that I went solid state (besides having an insane urge to blow money) but the constant swapping is gone as well.
Right now I am running my normal system and 2 1GB VMs and I still have 4.8G available.
So what if I made my pass phrase the confession to some minor crime and then confessed the fact? Wouldn't that make it a more clear-cut fifth amendment issue as revealing my pass-phrase would be directly incriminating?
You are kidding, right? $120K is nothing for a consultant. There's no way I'd even consider working for that kind of money and I've worked in just about every sector there is for fifteen years (though admittedly I've only been working for more than $120K for the past ten years).
The market for $250K+ programmers is small, but it does exist.
GWT does it and very well indeed. I've cross-compiled MD5 hash code to javascript and it works fine. I'd rather not port that manually since I already have perfectly good Java code for it.
...with only my Nikon D100 (and Pentax Optio for a pocket camera), a bunch of CompactFlash cards and a 60GB USB Hard Drive. You can make copies to CD virtually anywhere in the world and send your pictures home as a backup. Do it - it'll save you!
Having a laptop is nice - but in most of the world it makes you a serious target and is very conspicuous. I spent many any afternoon sitting at a cafe writing away in my journal and watching the world go by, but this would not have been as fun and low-key with a laptop.
Of course, it depends on where you want to go. I spent most of my time in South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. You don't want to display any kind of wealth in those areas of the world if you can help it. I'm not saying everyone is a crook, but it will make you the center of attention even more than you'll be anyway.
Besides, as much of a geek as I am, I enjoyed all that time away from gadgets and computers. It allowed me time to focus on what I was actually doing: traveling. Internet cafes are fine for email, burning CDs, paying bills and whatever.
I even kept an online journal while I was traveling entirely from internet cafes: http://www.davesworldtour.com/. Check out the entries from Nov 7, 2003 to May 7, 2005.
By that logic I can assume that I've been in the industry 62% longer that you. Jeez, it's been over seven years since even I've bothered to post a message. It's rarely worth the effort given the general quality of the comments.

What about when Intel had the bug in the original Pentium chip and they would only ship new processors to people who could demonstrate "need?" That was a public relations nightmare, as I recall.

I just use rsync from the command line to do deduplication. Been working like a charm for years.
First I sync from the remote directory to a local base directory:
rsync --partial -z -vlhprtogH --delete root@www.mydomain.net:/etc/ /backup/server/www/etc/base/
Then I sync that to the daily backup. Files that have not changed are hard-linked between all the days that share them. It very efficient and simple, and retrieving files is as simple as doing a directory search.
rsync -vlhprtogH --delete --link-dest=/backup/server/www/etc/base/ /backup/server/www/etc/base/ /backup/server/www/etc/2012-01-04
