Coppola Loses All His Data

Posted by kdawson on from the no-questions-asked dept.

Colin Smith writes in with an object lesson in backup methodology — once you have backed everything up, take it somewhere else. "Film director Francis Ford Coppola has appealed for the return of his computer backup device following a robbery at his house in Argentina on Wednesday. He told Argentine broadcaster Todo Noticias he had lost 15 years' worth of data, including writing and photographs of his family."

    If you don`t pay for your MS Windows, you will probably face a shot in the head, a raped wife, a kidnapped son, a public exposuse, fraud, data theft, identity theft, data corruption, police prosecution, cultural prosecution, land taxation, extortion, criminal injection, ambrush, phone ruled by a illegal court made of telephone companies directors, tv channel directors and international firms.
    All your data will be used against you, because you are not British, not French, not German, not Sweden, not Italian not Neerlander and certainly not US American. We don`t know you or care about you, you are nothing but a Windows Pirate, you will face thousand of years of jail because you installed one copy of Windows.
    You also supported Linux and GNU systems so the penalty will be worse.
    You belong to US, your dog belong to us, your children belong to us, your diying mother belong to us, your brothers your pets and everything that surronunds you. UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT. in every dimension in this very universe, or the next universe. No matter what is your Religion, Faith, no matter what you have done for good or for bad.
    You belong to US, because, WE ARE THE UNIX.
    By the way, your sister looks good. You could improve your situation Right Now.
