Doesn't a bird normally experience high-velocity wind in its normal life in the wild? I don't know the speeds at which this kind parrot typically flies, but in the avian kindgom, birds flying at speeds equivalent to a car's highway speeds is pretty normal. Peregrine falcons dive at speeds over 200mph.It an interesting one --CWuestefeld (March 31, 2011, 11:38 AM)
Generally birds follow the facetious advice often given to pilots -- "fly low and slow." Most cruise speeds are in the 20-to-30-mph range, with an eider duck having the fastest accurately clocked air speed of about 47 mph. During a chase, however, speeds increase; ducks, for example, can fly 60 mph or even fasterwhich (60m) isn't too far off of 100km, so sounds like you correct...
tomos, yes you can do a "seed" approach with a friend backup too. Just take their drive/system over to your house, attach it to your computer/LAN, do the initial backup, then they go back to their place and the backups continue. Pretty awesome. Same could be done by mail for more distant friends.wunderbar :-)-JavaJones (March 31, 2011, 11:51 AM)
Not sure what you mean about partial file backup? Are you talking about only backing up the changed blocks of a file? In that case yes, they definitely do that.--JavaJones (March 31, 2011, 11:51 AM)
thanks!The friend backup option is really a genius feature. Essentially if you and your friends have some spare hard drive space, you can each help each other provide off-site redundant backup for the others. Form a network of 3 people, each agreeing to buy a 2TB external drive for backup purposes, and it's likely you can each have 2x off-site backups of all your data, along with 1 on-site backup (to the same 2TB drive).--JavaJones (March 29, 2011, 05:43 PM)
I don't condone him doing that, but looks like to me the parrot would fly away if it wasn't enjoying the ride because the parrot doesn't look like is attached to anything.-hamradio (March 31, 2011, 12:39 AM)
I think the parrots wings have been clipped. Not 100% sure, but it would make sense.-Renegade (March 31, 2011, 01:16 AM)

Can you change the target in the header to be $13,838 instead of $15,000, to make it more tantalizing and less seemingly unreachable in the final days!?

I requested that all the existing MX records be removed (Um... Yeah), a new MX record be created, and that all the mail was now to be sent to an off-host IP address that I specified.-Stoic Joker (March 22, 2011, 05:41 PM)

His big issue seems to be with people making money off of something that isn't theirs, which is what my issue would be, also.-wraith808 (March 19, 2011, 02:03 PM)
