數碼照片流行之後

因為拍下來就方便日後重溫
因為拍下

古稀青年(反過來說,就是死火)

(談五四的文章,刪節版發在五月四日星島日報。在豆瓣上,竟然發不出去,被禁了。信哉大陸網友北風的說法:今年五月四日,除了官方的五四紀念活動,是沒有任何紀念、報導、評論五四的民間聲音。在共和國的扭曲歷史裡

Our disk-based backup system

Our solution to the tape backup cost problem hasbeen to move to a disk-based backup system.

The problem with tapes (for backup)

While it's true that high capacity backup tapes are expensive enoughto make you blink, the media cost isn't really the problem with tapebackups. (Although I haven't checked the numbers lately, I'm preparedto believe the claims that tape still has the lowest media cost pergigabyte.)
