The Death of HD-DVD
jhocking:
I think maybe you guys need to go through the trauma of a computer (or at least harddrive) dying a couple of times in order to desensitize yourselves to it. If you ask me, preferring getting shot (I don't care where) to losing your computer is the sign of some sort of mental illness. Don't get me wrong, losing data is very annoying, but we're not talking about a little cut here, we're talking about getting shot.
Also, ode back up important files right now. Even if you can't backup the entire harddrive, certainly you can get a USB memory stick and backup journal entries or email contacts or whatever it is you so desperately don't want to lose.

My RAID5 and I agree. I keep my massive photo archive backed up on two different external drives, too.

It's the two weeks worth of music and 30 or so movies I'm worried about, Joe. The harddrive, and the one with my favourite OS on it (this one) died recently. Thankfully I fixed them somehow! There's some nice external drives on overclockers uk, hopefully I'll be able to afford one in a month or so.
sean:
Are you guys fucking honestly arguing that it would be better to get shot than lose your computer's HD?
You guys are insane.
Sox:
Having lost entire hard drives several times and gone through the effort to re-establish music collections more than once, as well as record new memories and create new artwork, I can say with certainty that while losing a hard drive is annoying, it's certainly not the end of the word. That said, I'd rather back up important data to gmail than get shot in my hard drive/gut.
