I've used a very similar clue myself in the past - nice clue though.

The King's Speech[^]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Do we have a back-up in the audience?[^]
This is why I have backups of my backups...when did you last do one? Or check the one you did works?

One of the reasons I love distributed version control systems.

:brrrrr: Sends a shiver up my spine!
Don't rely on Version Control as a backup system - or at least not as your primary backup - it can help if you lose everything else, but it's a dangerous way to go. The repository is not automatically "protected" in any way, and if the drive holding the repo fails, or the file gets corrupted - and we all know that happens - you are up the well known creek!
By all means use VC as an addition to good solid backups (heck, I do!) but it should be an addendum, not the primary.

No worries, I'm a completely different kind of stupid.
But honestly, it has saved me a whole days work once. Because of automatic thing that weren't.

My employer falls under the category of a financial institution. In the US, they are required by law, regardless of any other backups, and off-site backup.
It's like I point out to people all the time: if you have a backup of your systems and a backup of the backup - and they're all in your home and it burns to the ground (or hurricane sandy visits) then you lose the data, the backup, and the backup-backup. All nod their head in agreement. Few over do more than nod.
