Laptop Battery Armies of pike better known here as saw-tooth Satan spawns still occupy Lake Davis, five years after California officials thought they would have them licked, five years into an escalating and increasingly desperate campaign of poisoning, electrocution and even, in recent weeks, precision bombing.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Desktop Computer The fast-breeding, rapacious species may be a prize catch in its native habitat east of the Mississippi, but it is a savage outlaw in these parts. Not only is it threatening to decimate the trout fishery of Lake Davis and with it tourist-dependent Plumas County, 45 miles west of Reno but should it make its way out of the lake, marine biologists fear science-fiction-movie-type consequences.
Notebooks Should the pike enter the open waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Deltas, they could become nearly impossible to contain, and decimate California's dwindling salmon and steelhead populations, among other species.
Lenovo But just as no one knows who invited the pike here, no one knows how to get rid of them.
Hard Drive The experts have tried. And tried. And tried again. There has even been talk lately of draining the 4,000-acre lake, putting it out of commission for five years or more. But such an idea has bitter opposition, considering that pitting the State Department of Fish and Game against the pike has been as successful as pitting Elmer Fudd against Bugs Bunny.
Travelstar Most drastically, and disastrously, in 1997, the Department of Fish and Game, armed with pike disaster stories from Alaska and Colorado, poisoned the lake, killing the pike and every other living thing in it. The poison, rotenone, also destroyed Portola's drinking water supply, leaked past where it was supposed to, killing every fish for five miles downstream, and put Plumas County (population 20,000) out of the fishing business it lives by for nearly a year.
Gateway Eighteen months and $20 million in fees and fines later, including more than $9 million in damages a judge awarded to residents who were sickened by the poison fumes and businesses sickened by its success, the pike were back.
Laptop Parts Since 1999, the Department of Fish and Game, with a new leadership, has teamed up with local residents and officials to find more creative, acceptable ways to kill the pike. They brought big brown trout to Lake Davis to eat the pike, only to find the trout had better tastes. They have tried fishing the pike with big nets and small nets, electrocuting them and ensnaring them in areas that would force them to eat their spawn. But the pike, which like to munch on snakes, ducks and other small animals along with trout, have proved as hard to kill as giant mutant killer ants.
Software The latest tactic: bombing. A couple of weeks ago, the Department of Fish and Game bombed one acre of the lake, using 1,000 feet of detonation cord placed just below the water's surface. The bombing killed all the pike within 25 feet of the detonation, though these were pike that the agency had put in cages in the test area. All the uncaged pike in the area got away (though the bombing did kill two free-roaming rainbow trout).
Hard Drives "It's just another tool to use to manage and maintain the pike," said Ivan Paulsen, a senior biologist for the Department of Fish and Game, adding that the state would replace the number of trout lost to any bombing, supplying two live trout for each one bombed out of the water.
Electronics Mr. Paulsen, who had spent the morning net-fishing for pike, caught 10 with an assistant's help, though he was still brooding about a particularly big one that got away one of about 20 his agency had wired with a radar device to monitor migrations.
Canon Like the detonation cord, which the department plans to use on a wider surface perhaps as soon as the fall, Mr. Paulsen is another highly visible tool in what an agency spokesman, Steve Martarano, called "our pike-reducing activities."
Desktop Pc Mr. Paulsen moved to Plumas County when the department opened an office in Portola two years ago to demonstrate its commitment to managing the pike. Another action was the agency's creation of a Lake Davis Steering Committee stocked with local and county residents, as well as officials from the department and related agencies, like the Department of Water Services.
Desktop Computers "We're open to anything," said Mr. Martarano, who recalled the time someone suggested harnessing lightning and electrocuting the pike ("we actually looked into it") and the time someone suggested throwing pike-eating frogs in the lake (the frogs wouldn't bite).
Think Pad Here in Portola, while no one is forgiving or forgetting the pike poisoning catastrophe, residents are encouraged and impressed by the Department of Fish and Game's greatly improved attitude.
Repair Back in '97, the department brought in 150 police officers, including SWAT teams and sharpshooters, to quell the protests against the poisoning. These days people like Bill Powers, the mayor of Portola, who had chained himself to a buoy to try to stop the poisoning, have nothing but praise for the department's efforts, even if they are not always thrilled with its results. Fran Roudebush, a former Plumas County supervisor who considered the Department of Fish and Game public enemy No. 1, is now chairwoman of its steering committee as well as the local Save Lake Davis Coalition.
Data Recovery "It's been like night and day with Fish and Game," Mrs. Roudebush said. "I can't tell you the difference it has made. The people who live here now have the right to make the decision with what to do with our drinking water."
Cisco Mrs. Roudebush, who was one of the most vociferous opponents of the lake's poisoning, is even talking about the need to try another "treatment" on Lake Davis, as she now calls the poisoning, using the state's euphemism.
Keyboard The state did it all wrong last time, she said. Maybe a second time, done during the right time of year, with the right water temperature and the right amount and type of poison, will do the trick, she said.
Monitor "But if we do it," she said, "it's because the community says, `This is what we want.' "
