My wife's elder brother moved to Stirling a while back, after about 8 months he came to the People's Republic of Trans-Tynesidionia. The change in his boy (about 6yo) was tremendous: he kept banging on about how great Scotland is, recited a few the Jocks has actually won, and when given some felt tipsdrew the saltire. InAlex Slugmond SNP Scotland, the country educates you about itself.

Mrs. W's friend and her hubby live in Eddinburrer. He works at the Grangemouth refinery and goes to work on a company bus. He says, that he never laughs as much as he does each day on his way in and out. He also admits he doesn't always understand them but on life's larf-o-meter he said he puts the Scots up there with the best.

Nice word.
I have been gone a while and thought I'd see if the CCC was still running.

This is indeed my solution. To the extreme, make a RAID [^]setup.

I've no patience for RAID 5, so always go 10. (Last time we 5ed, it took an entire day to rebuild a bad disk...)
Of course, once you go RAID, you start worrying about the RAID card going bad, and the new card which shows up in the mail 3 days later won't recognize or mount your array.

I have a RAID5 NAS with 4 1TB HDDs (from different manufacturers and / or batches) and an automated hourly backup system which maintains multiple copies of important stuff. (In addition I also archive the important stuff to the net, so I have seriously off-site backups - can't get much more offsite than a different continent)
HDD's fail. They all do, it's just a case of when. If you can plan for failure, you can limit or remove any damage caused by the fault.

That really all depends on how quickly you need to be back up and working when a disk crashes.
Raid is the way to go for if you cannot afford to have any downtime(I cannot advise you on which flavour though).
I have an SSD C drive on which I pretty much only have the OS.
I then have two disks with various partitions on those disks.
I have a regular schedule of imaging the C drive and other partitions - the advantage of using partitions is that some partitions change very little and consequently the incremental image size is very small.
I have had two disk crashes in my computer owning life and both times I was able to get everything back up and working within 2 hours - make sure you have a spare disk if you need to restore in a rush.
This strategy has worked very well for me.
I use Acronis for disk imaging.

Even in recent times, we hit people who behave as if internet was never invented. They continue to use heavy and stupid corporate policies like working hours, NO work from home and Dress Code.
Just wanted views, about do these things actually apply to the process of software development?
or its just an HR/Management ego that they want to boost but enforcing such historical mode of office going?

I keep telling everyone that I don't actually need to be at the office, and showing them pictures of Barbados, but no-one listens.
