Ahhhhhh? yet another obscure IT related op. ;-)
Rather than just give you a run-down on the tape itself I thought I'd give you a quick insight into the exciting world of data backup. This will be a quick 'n' dirty guide to backups. It's by no means a comprehensive overview. I've been doing this stuff for over six years and I'm still learning bits here and there!
LTO tapes are the latest in a long line of removable data backup devices, thus meaning that they are A) Faster than their older rivals, and B) more expensive (Naturally).
LTO Stands for Linear Tape-Open. And no; I've got no idea what it means either. Bit of an obscure one even for the IT industry there. I suspect it's got something to do with the way the tapes are read by the drive. Unlike a video cassette in which a length of tape is exposes via a long flap along ...
It is, I think, a good idea to confront one's prejudices from time to time, and it would be hard to be more prejudiced than I am against The Sun newspaper.
I hardly ever see The Sun in the usual way of things, let alone read it, yet if you asked me to describe it I would have no difficulty in trotting out at least a dozen derogatory adjectives, the most polite of which you will see listed as "Cons" in the summary points above.

So when I saw that the Ciao competition for May was for reviews on sun-related topics, I decided it was time I bought a few issues of The Sun and made a serious attempt ...

Discovery
As far as music goes, I love it all, I always find my taste varying as I discover new artists, I love rock, pop, hip hop, old and new, everything.
Empire of the Sun is something really different. I discovered them about three or four months ago when one of the songs was played on the radio and I was desperate to hear more.
I could not find out who they were and eventually the tune faded from my head, when I then stumbled across the song again I remembered as many words a possible and Googled the lyrics, found out who they were and bought their album from Amazon.
Who are they?
Empire of the Sun are an Australian duo who formed in 2007 but have only recently started coming out of the woodwork in Britain with some of their songs being played on the radio waves, and also more and more regularly their songs are ...
