Acronis Acronis inc., a provider of easy-to-use backup, recovery and security solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, announced Thursday Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online. This online backup and recovery solution offers the advantages of a secondary redundant data store without a substantial upfront investment. The product is one of two Acronis cloud computing-based offerings that will be shown at next week’s VMworld in San Francisco August 30 – September 2. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online answers the need for cost effective online redundant data storage for backup and recovery. IT administrators can use it to recover files, folders or complete systems. While on-site local backup software like Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 provides the benefits of high performance backups and recoveries in the event of specific infrastructure failure, the new Acronis solution enables IT organizations to recover completely from a secure cloud computing environment in the wake of a full data center disaster or outage, without building a dedicated and redundant offsite storage facility. it includes support for mixed virtual and physical computing environments found in many businesses. With this product announcement, the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 line offers data protection solutions to offer agent-less backup for virtual machines (eliminating agents reduces repetitive administration tasks). it also has minimal impact on management overhead, since the same Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 management console allows for control of both online and local backups, for both physical and virtual machines. The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 line also recovers individual files or whole system images so organizations have the disaster recovery flexibility they need, provides flexible retention periods depending on customer’s backup and archiving policies, protects backup data through AES (advanced encryption standard)-256 data encryption and user authentication, and offers an initial seeding option for customers with large amounts of data, where the backup is placed on a hard drive and sent to our data center for uploading.

Similarly, in the event of a large server outage, Acronis will load a server’s backups onto an external hard drive and ship it to the customer as part of its Large Scale Recovery option. “Small- to mid-sized organizations are eager to adopt recovery solutions that will provide them with greater availability and flexibility on their journey across physical, virtual and cloud environments,” says Dave Russell, vice president, Storage Technologies and Strategies, Gartner inc. “Best practices for disaster recovery typically involve having multiple layers of protection with both local and offsite redundant backups,” explains Jason Donahue, CEO at Acronis. “Unfortunately, some organizations don’t have redundant data storage across multiple sites. Our new online offering, coupled with Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, gives organizations of all sizes the best of both worlds by combining high interval, high-performance local backups with the added protection of offsite redundant backups.” The service will be available for a free 60-day evaluation starting September 6, 2010 and will be generally available in North America in the fourth quarter this year, with general availability in other worldwide regions will be following later this year. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Online will be available through the local channel partner. Acronis to announce online backup and recovery at VMworld

I asked something along the lines of this question once before but it was removed for offending some degenerate, I think. What I ask here then might offend a few people or fan the flame to your insecurities. Whatever the case, you aren't obligated to read it. Call this insecurity or what you will (or maybe more than one insecurity here), but I simply can't see women as something either than virgins or whores, or ultimately, on a subconscious level, in other words as objects. I know this is puritan thinking and doesn't agree with our 100+ sexual partners before marriage "ideals" (in fact, I might get stoned by a few radical degenerates on here for even thinking such a way in 2010), but I just can't help but put the pieces together. All evidence is pointing in the direction that women who have sex before marriage are whores. For instance 3/4 of divorces are initiated by women, at least in this country (could be more in Europe, I don't know nor do I really care) while I'd venture to guess about that many marriages are initiated by those same women. 95% of Americans also aren't virgins when they marry, and <5% of marriages actually last a "lifetime" -- I found elsewhere. (Feel free to ask where I got any of these statistics). Maybe its just me making these connections, but I don't think so. I'm starting to see why rape and violence against women is justified, why men can't and won't commit and stay faithful, and why women will just be used and tossed aside. What's our incentive after all? The typical female has probably shagged everything in her dorm and what we get is unsafe to call leftovers anymore. They are unfaithful as moving from guy to guy (boyfriend to boyfriend) e.g their "testing a car before driving it"-backwards logic says and can't keep their legs closed no matter what. It's like the most difficult girl to get is the one that's married and will actually cost a $20 nowadays, and it's so disheartening because I put a lot of my trust in women before knowing these things from having actually seen and heard them, and because I also wanted to "save myself for marriage." However, since knowing these things, I have debated whether or not there is a point, or in other words whether or not there is any hope whatsoever in finding a girl with good values. For now, I've classified all American women simply as trailer trash and it's led me to anxious OCD-like thinking because I know there is about a handful of good girls here somewhere, and now I'm wondering whether or not I should sleep around like my male friends do and take "advantage" of the "benefits" of 2010 -- an entire world full of women that can't keep their legs closed no matter how much you pay them. Ho hum, and here is one other thing to think about: the men last time I asked this question pretty much all agreed with me, whereas the women all disagreed when I asked whether or not it's worth it saving yourself to marriage, and whether or not my argument is even remotely valid given the evidence presented. I mean, cut me some bloody slack here. I'm a very attractive male (as some women say) whose had American women (e.g trash) leap all over me, yet I've still turned them down and remained a virgin, whereas my friends have slept with every one of them. I mean, what's the deal here? Women you blame men for treating you how they do, and why rape is such a common occurrence in 2010? And why you can't get a single guy to stay faithful to you? Well there's you're bloody answer -- you bring it on yourselves for being so easy and not being able to keep your legs closed. Ugh, apparently this is all insecurity but is there any way out of this kind of thinking? There is so much overwhelming evidence in favour versus against that it doesn't seem like there is any other option no matter how much I think about it. Help please. Frinn, keep your "liberated," disgusting, vile, disease-ridden feminist trash. I want something else. But thanks for your opinion. I don't know what this is (maybe a really fragile male ego) but other people's opinions are really helping.

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-17/top-earners-averaged-345-million-in-2007-irs-says-update1-.html From the linked article: Each household in the top 400 of earners paid an average tax rate of 16.6 percent, the lowest since the agency began tracking the data in 1992, the statistics show. Their average effective tax rate was about half the 29.4 percent in 1993, the first year of President Bill Clinton’s administration, when taxes were increased. The statistics underscore “two long-term trends: that income at the very top has exploded and their taxes have been cut dramatically,” said Chuck Marr, director of federal tax policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington research group that supports increasing taxes on high-income individuals. These folks paid about $60million in taxes.............. What on earth can a households spend $285 million a year on? As for me, when times are bad for my fellow countrymen, and at a pinch, I can live on a million bucks a month. Take the rest and pay the bills. You? How much do you need to live very well? And sleep well at night? Verona: While I agree that sportspeople are overpaid, they didn't cause the financial crisis. The people who CAUSED the financial crisis are getting richer?

I'm really confused and on the verge of making a very huge decision in my life and need all the advice possible. This isn't an attempt at trolling, so if you take it as one, get the hell out of here! While I was sitting here thinking about why I'm waiting until marriage to have sex, I realised that I'm not sure if marriage is really what I want after witnessing so much negativity both here and in real life by particularly women (who are thought to be more chaste --- yeah right!) in regards to my decision. I wanted a girl with the same values, but it doesn't look reasonable that any exist. They want to sleep around and take advantage of as many guys as they can is what it looks like, and then settle down and hope they won't be cheated on/abused/outright abandoned/etc (good luck with that one, ladies!) So I've pretty much said f*** you to marriage entirely. The only thing I really want out of it now after witnessing all of this, has seemingly become just to have sex. I have lost all hope and also my respect for women, and now I think of them as merely objects and that it's better to just take advantage of as many of them as I can. I had so many opportunities but something always stopped me. And what worries me is everything is telling me to do it, to take advantage of those opportunities, but some small voice inside of me, despite the overwhelming negativity that I have witnessed, is telling me to hold on for something better and I just don't know why. It's driving me up the wall. Statistics, logic, rationality, and my emotions are screaming at the top of their lungs to take advantage of as many women as possible and never settle down, and become just like the other males in society. But for some reason I don't want to become like the rest of them, though I also find absolutely no incentive for me to wait any more. All of the attractive women are long since not virgins and that's what I really wanted...to find a girl as attractive, successful and physically fit as I am with an excellent personality, and settle down. Now I just KNOW (not believe) that such don't exist nowadays and probably never have. All I ever wanted besides having a successful career, was a happy marriage, children and a faithful wife. But it doesn't seem like I'm allowed that now am I? Church girls, for the few that are attractive, are incredibly easy while non-religious girls or girls of other religions are just as easy, but lack any sense of conscience it seems. I don't want to settle down with some used up trash (and hopefully if she exists, she views me the same way in this case as insecure as this may seem) -- which is the only other alternative. I also don't want to end up living alone because of this (so in other words, it's a 'Bachelor's life' for me), so I am thinking, possibly irrationally do to all of this overwhelming info that's causing some severe self-doubt it me, that it's better to go with option one and just sleep around like everyone else but on the other hand not marry so I don't have to share my income with some vile b**** that will use me and leave (which is all too common in 2010). So I really need some help. I am between a rock and some really hard place, and it feels like the temperature here is only getting hotter. I need all the help I can get, especially SPIRITUAL help. I've furthermore seen a few males relate to me already, so it appears as if there are a lot of us that are thinking this way. No females though. Maybe more can relate or provide some kind of certainty? Because this tremendous doubt is eating me alive, just as it is getting to them.
