I also digitized our family VHS tapes and other old stuff.

I keep one copy on my home computer/server for watching and using.
I keep one copy on a USB hard drive in a fire-proof safe in my basement.
I keep one copy on a USB drive in the trunk of my car.
And I copied the data to my dad and siblings hard drives too.

I'm in grad school right now.

1) I know grad students who are struggling financially

There are at least two people in my program (of about 100 total) who I know personally who are struggling to make ends meet. Their families aren't well off and our program doesn't have funding. They're getting along OK, but they have to live very very tightly, skipping any extra curricular activities, not buying text books, and budgeting both money and food.

I assume that others may be struggling and I don't know it.

2) More of us miss out on things so we don't have to starve

A good number of us work full time or more to pay for things. I've had to not participate in school events both social and scholastic, including guest speakers and class outings. It is very difficult to see a teacher during office hours since I'm supposed to be at work.

I'm not missing out on food, but if food were available I might be able to work less and be more involved.

Looks like you're right! The W-540 page says "Notify me" when it's shipping, but the T-540p is available.

I'm not seeing those resolutions. I only see 1600x900 and 1920x1080. Is it in the W-530 line?

How about these guys?

Fabrice Bellard could make an x86 emulator out of a paperclip, some spare change and a couple of matchsticks.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean it should be used as a production product.

I wanted a web-based reader, and did some searching last night.

I decided I wanted to go with a self-hosted option, and found SelfOSS. It's light-weight, PHP5 and the code is very clean. It can use MySQL or SQLite.

It's a single-person reader, with one username/password supported.

You can see a live demo here: http://stuporglue.org/selfoss/

The only downside so far is that with SQLite, the database locks when updates are running. This is fairly quick, but might be an issue for some people.

The official Bible translation for Latter-Day Saints is the KJV.

Small Joseph Smith Translations (JST) are put in the footnotes for reference, and larger translations are kept separately.

LDS Scriptures online (Genesis 1:31): http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/gen/1?lang=eng#31
None of the footnotes there are JST footnotes.

Joseph Smith Translation: http://www.lds.org/scriptures/jst?lang=eng
No JST for Genesis 1.

I have a home media server with all my data on it.

About monthly I back it up to a hard drive which lives in a firesafe in the house. After the backup I swap the hard drive with an identical drive which I keep in the trunk of my car. The car drive goes gets the full back up and goes into the fire safe.

The car is about as offsite as I can afford.

So:
* One online backup on my home server
* One offline backup in a fire safe
* One offline backup in my car

FWIW I have just under 1TB of data, and use rsync to synchronize changes to the disks.

I am still waiting for a tiny Zoolander phone.

Since it'd be a dumb phone, it could be mostly battery and could last a week between charges.

I bought a fast cheap piece of plastic (HP Pavillion!) and it lasted just over a year. It drove me right back to a thinkpad. I paid more, but I have expectations that this thinkpad will last me at least 3 years.

Lead-free shot is required at least in Wetlands Managed Areas in Minnesota.

My real name is Michael Moore and I'm not the film maker.

I don't know how many pages you'd have to go through to get to a page that's actually about me.
