Do you have a source for your 100% recycling claims? I know people who worked with the car recycling industry, and they said quite the opposite. Recycled steal isn't allowed in the frames. and recycling is dang hard, not to mention an afterthought. They smash the car to bits and use eddy-current separation to get the metals, but that is by no means pure.

Submission + - Why power failures can always lead to data-loss (halfgaar.net)

According to Halfgaar (on /. before to promote better Linux backup practices), yes, usually you do.

Depends on the situation. If you're restoring from another system, such as a live CD, --numeric-owner is vital, or users can be messed up. All the GIDs en UIDs of the system you're using to restore are not identical to the ones of the system your restore. Therefore, name matching by string is not reliable.
