Sorting through my morning spam and see a ditty from Network World announcing a new Deduplication Appliance. Really? Normally I delete these things faster than... But "deduplication" caught my eye. Oh, it has a Wikipedia entry and the product line being promoted _starts_ at $65,000.00 so it has to be important. The term (I won't even call it a word) "Deduplication" has a humorous ring. Department of redundancy department in five syllables. I can imagine that corporate SAN end up with TBs of the same porn videos stored multiple times... hmmmm, off to sourceforge to see if there are any bots to work through my file servers and identify the multiple copies of pictures (of places and people fully clothed, thank you) that I know I've thrown willy-nilly. So one deduplicates, then the system crashes and they lose the stored original... Captain Murphy's nephew is on the design team.
