Working the weekend sucks!

In a desperate attempt to fix a hard drive that is on the fritz, I'm trying to backup about 8GB of data then wipe the drive clean. There's no quick solution to backing up such a huge amount of data, so I get to spend some time reading up on the latest "cool" news. Which is good, since I woke up this AM with the return of my head pain. I guess I slept with my neck at a bad angle. I see my pain specialist in about a week, and should address this to him and see what he thinks (after all, the nerve causing me my pain innervates between C1 and C2).

This article I found was interesting. The patent on iris recognition is due to expire in less than a year. This article mentions some of the competition, and the possible implications of iris recognition software. Can anyone say "airport security"?

UPDATE: 8GB has turned in 13. As soon as I get past the desktop folder, I'm going to have to let it run overnight....
