While Italian judiciary system is generally considered as civil law, in reality it is mixed. There are three levels of judice: - ordinary; - appeal; - court of cassation (a.k.a. supreme court).
After the second level of judice, sentences create precedent and make laws. But the supreme court only evaluates if previous courts correctly followed the procedures/laws, it doesn't go deep on the facts of the trial.
Basically set up a BIG container where to put the digital stuff, plus number of network shares and you're done.
BUT
In any case do not forget about redundancy and back-up. Even in the tinyest case, that would mean a single HD, with its twin in RAID-1, plus another as offline backup. Total: 3HDs.
Going up with sizes will add complexity. Let's say you target a 10TB container, made of 2TB drives. That translates into 5+5 drives for a RAID-0+1, or 7 drives for a RAID-6 (which one is more suited, is another discussion). Plus the back-up (another minimum 5 drives).
For any choice but the absolute minimal one (the three drives example), be absofuckinglutely sure about airflow. Cramming a lot of drives in a box probably not engineered for this task and putting it into a closet is the perfect recipe for a disaster.
My experience as well. So far, in the last 8 years it gave me excellent results.
We all know 99%+ of the generic malware out there is crafted to break in Windows setups. The amount is so vast it's only a matter of time, you *will* be hit. But once you take the target out of the equation, the rest is much much more easy to manage.
Once I realized this, I stopped recommending Linux to random folks: the more people keeps using Windows, the more *I* am secure. And, at the end of the day, this is the only thing that matters to me.
Bee's venom can kill by inducing shock in allergic subjects. It looks like it has a very nasty property of being a potential allergenic (I hope I got the correct term. If not, sorry) meaning: once you get stinged, you may become allergic to venom even if before you weren't. This in sufficently predisposed subjects.
And now it is going to be the golden ingredient for some cosmetic? I hope it is going to be subjected to some form of medical control, to say the least.
But I'm no chemist nor biologist so I may be completely wrong.
In my case alien did its job. The resulting.rpm installed without a single complain.
OTOH, the following are the relevant snippets from trying to run the client:
me@linux:~/Downloads>/usr/bin/steam
Setting up Steam content in ~/.local/share/Steam
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam:/lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.12' not found (required by ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam)

[...cut...]
Those led me reporting about the version of GlibC. I'm no expert coder so I hardly can go further than this.
Anyway, latest distro release is downloading now and upgrade is scheduled soon.:-)
1) The client is currently shipped in.deb format.
If you use an.rpm based distribution, the Alien script will do the conversion so you can install it (hint: alien.pl -r steam_latest.deb --scripts ).
2) The client requires GlibC 2.12 or later. So if by any chance your distribution was released prior to may 2010, you're out of luck (example: my OpenSuse 11.4, released on march 2010:( ).
While it's all fine and good emphatizing on the computing capabilities and bragging with MHz, GFLOPS and the such, any good slashdotter knows we're already well beyond the "good enough" threshold. In the meantime, only few vague words are spent for improved power efficiency.
I personally don't feel the need for a graphic card that goes the double faster and draws 80% more power. Give me a graphic card that goes same as the actual one, but consumes 40% less, thank you.
This story brings the concept of dupe to a whole new level! For your convenience, a copy of the story is injected inside the story, so you don't have to remember where you've already read it and neither have to click on another link (a real boon for the lazy).
Lack of PvP is not a deficency. It keeps the screaming whiney kiddos affected by the "I have a bigger e-peen than you, faggot" syndrome away, directly rerouting them to other games. Heck, the more I think about it the more I appreciate it.
Other than that yes, game has flaws. Even important ones. And I don't think porting to consoles will solve them.
There are a lot of cool things that can be done with a highly-computerized car that has its own 3G Internet connection and GPS.
Put transmitters along the road at a few hundreds of meters each broadcasting the speed limit. Vehicles auomatically comply.
If someone modifies the car to ignore the signal, he'll be really easily spottable as the car runs faster than the others.
Confiscate the car and withdraw driver's license.
If additionally there's an accident involvement, charge with voluntary murder attempt, as cars don't modify themselves.
Sure there may be some signal overlapping problems to be overcome. I'm thinking about an highway crossing or being near a city center, but I'm sure a skilled team of engineers can successfully deal with it.
I have discovered a truly marvelous exploit, which allows a remote attacker to compromise any computer regardless of OS, hardware, or software installed. Unfortunately, this post is too small to contain the details of it.

Legalese.
Not kidding.

If this behaviour is intentional you're not going to be paid, no matter what. Get over it.
Going to court will grant you the privilege - after a number of years - to pay an hefty amount in damages (you know, judges are quite cheap today).
Good luck
