Bad Sector – I/O Error in OS X while Backing Up

Having copied most of the files off I needed, but still short my main boot drive (I was already making the move to my backup generic 10.4 system I had created to try Adobe Lightroom), I decided to go for broke and run MediaScanner 2.1 throughout the entire drive, enabling autoreplacement…. on I/O errors and suggested to him soft failure instead, like Synchronize Pro X, allowing the user to continue to rescue what he can of the disk (with bad sectors, this seems to be a great deal as only the data from the bad sectors is lost).

Sore Losers

At this point (I don’t write this war off yet), the Israelis are big losers in Lebanon. Hezbollah is still armed, the Israelis are on their way out of Lebanon and the entire IDF and political leadership of Israel comes off as bullies, murderers and war criminals.

Goebbels file: Anglos voice Israel’s case to foreign media

Anglos voice Israel’s case to foreign media | Jerusalem Post: Anglo-Israelis know how to better shape a message because they know how its received, Spigelman argued. “We can understand how things sound to an international audience because we were once part of the international audience.”That knowledge is what leads the IDF Spokesman’s Office to release different tapes of army operations to local and foreign journalists.

Why Israel stopped the war

The West DOES see mike – USA 08/15/2006 22:45 The West, like the rest of the goy world, wants to destroy Israel and exterminate the Jewish people…. Israel had the means, the will, and the force to win, but because of our inexperienced and fearful political and military leaders, that is Olmert, Peretz, Livni, and Halultz, we not only gave Hizbulla a victory over us, we gave them a victory over Lebanon.
