Moshe Bar: "Windows users have the option of using the Microsoft Intellisync technology for keeping folders in sync...not. Most Windows users tell me they just do not understand the system or concept Windows uses to keep the folders in sync, and all of the people I spoke to have managed to lose some work in one way or another using MS Intellisync. I myself tried it for the purpose of this column and I can say that it just doesn't work as advertised, and it takes a very long time to resync a relatively small folder of about 1.2 GB, where only a handful of files actually changed." — Eigentlich geht es in dem Artikel aber um [create Intermezzo] und das soll ganz wunderbar funktionieren.

How the Wayback Machine Works: "We're getting exceptional performance. Basically to build a 10oTB database costs -- in hardware costs -- less than $400,000, including all the network equipment, all the redundancy, all the backup systems. We've had to do it based on necessity, because there's not a lot of money in the library trade. Where the Library of Congress has a budget of $450 million a year, you can be sure we don't."
