isn't 'set it and forget it' the tagline for the ron popiel rotisserie?

sweet lord... I just read it through more thoroughly...
it's just a fucking back-up system... Pure and simple... Ya'll need to go change your pants and get back to work... :)

hahaha... 'flux capicitor'...'mr. fusion'...
.... seriously though... when I press delete... I should probably want to delete it... right? Not to mention the trash which stores all the shit until you kill it again...
... what's the compression like? I kill files to free up space on my drive... if there's a permanent 'back-up'... what kind of compression are they using and where are they storing it?...
... and really... this tool is for 'tools'... not folks such as yourselves who should have running back-ups of your work. :)
I keep two external drives of everything I work on... which seems a little smarter to me...
I find being able to 'restore' anything fishy... because it MUST BE compressed and stored somewhere on your local drive (and taking up storage and paging files space)... meaning... why the f%ck do you even have a delete key?
nah mean?
this would be a feature I'd 'turn off' if you have the option.
Give me the power in the chips and the processor... I don't need the 'tard tools...

Every TimeMachine screenshot I've seen has an external drive mounted.

I think its aimed at the consumer market who dont fill up their drive much. I assume that it will use some compression/versioning system to help keep the data file size down, and there will be a preference where you choose how much hard drive space to reserve for this..

does time machine work with an external? if not, would that not fill up your HD in no time?

if they could help locate my keys/wallet/sense of sanity as well they could possibly conquer murphy's law all together

yep secure delete will do the trick, currently stuffit has a secure delete alias as well. I assume this will be built into timeMachine. Cool feature but where is the iphone haha.

I think seure delete will still put things away for good. Secure delete (or secure empty trash) overwrites the desired sector three times. Mostly irrecoverable after that.

that core anima stuff is pretty hot.
- Rand0
when you delete stuff on your hard drive, it really just moves it somewhere on it
- harlequino0
Hmm, weird. Then does nothing ever get deleted?
More importantly, what the hell is going on with that Core Animation thing? I don't wanna watch any of that.

It's actually a flux capacitor but I got what you meant and it was still funny.

If "Macs never crash" what are they worried about?
Wankers.

(Aug 8 06, 10:33)Um, the point of this app is to access information you might have deleted by accident months prior.
