Oil is one problem behind CO2 increases because _fossile_ oil is usually being used. Thereby releasing carbon that had been traped deep inside the earth. Producing oil from agricultural products can only release carbon that has been extracted from the air before. This gives you a net zero effect on CO2. Great, isn't it?
As this is happening again and again I am wondering how users privacy can be protected.
First I wonder if there is any legal way to respond to this kind of intrusion. There are very clear laws about a hacker breaking in to Real Networks computers and stealing data. What is the difference to them stealing data from my and thousand of other computers?
What do you think is going to happen to the illegaly acuired data? Are they going to delete the whole database:) Even if they were legaly requiered to delete all the data, is there anybody out there who is willing an able to force them to comply to the laws?
In the early nineties I have been working with an OS called L3 which was based, among other things, on persitstence. Even thoug L3 now is a thing of the past the idea of persistance still seems ahead of even today's OS technologie.
If your system was powered down in the middle of a database update after reboot the update continued, where it was interrupted. No DB curruption!
L3's persistence implementaiton was based on two 'lazy' copies of the virtual memory. One of a consisten state and the ther one was the working copy. That is the first time you change a memory page, it is copied. The after a fixed interval, an new lazy copy of working memory becomes the new 'consisten' state copy.
My question to the public is wouldn't this be a desirable thing to have in Linux? And the question do the developers does that seem a hard thing to implement?
It seems like a simple concept. But there seems to be a huge pile of implications for the kernel drivers. A process might even be in a system call when the system wakes up again.

A hackable phone with WLAN. I guess it won't be long before someone puts a VoIP client on there.
Use WLAN to make cheap calls and GSM for backup if there is no WLAN available.

The L3 URL should have read: http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/l3.html
Oh, you have the same limit on linux, but you can hold extra data in files.
Wouldn't that render the whole thing useless for fullblown database servers?

This conecpt has been implemented before in L3.
