I shouldnt have to list all the reasons why putting your data in a significantly different geographic location is a good idea. Its mostly for the things we dont think of. Considering that the expense is minor compared to the value of the actual payload, its not that hard or unreasonable.
The point is to have a dataset that exists that is NOT ON PREMISES, preferably not local either. In your example, there are multitude ways in which that data could be rendered unusable without 'scorching the earth'
Labor is a recurring cost too. Backups are not 'set and forget'. You also have to SHIP your offsite backup out, either bits or physical, store it safely, and be able to recover from it at least once a year, which means another shipping cost (bits or physical).
These 2 items are not identical.
The main differentiator besides price is that in fact the pirated version is a BETTER copy. Its just the movie, there are no ads, and no unskippable sections, etc.
I would also like to point out that no individual has had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. Getting a judgement and getting actually paid are VASTLY different things.
You pay for it AT LEAST 3 times for a proper backup. You have your data to be backed up, the actual backup and the offsite backup. Mirroring data onto one other hard drive at the same physical location is not 'backed up' in any meaningful way.
You also pay for (in labor) for setting it up all up and testing it at least yearly. Cloud services have their place, as does local storage. Whats wrong with one physical backup and the cloud backup as your offsite backup?
YOU are WAY off the mark about Linux being merely an excuse. That PS3 is MINE, it is not for Sony to decide what I can and cannot do with hardware I own, period. I dont care about Geohot as much as I care about the extremely dangerous ground Sony is treading on. 1st amendment > Sony.
Well TVs DO have some legal distinctions. They have built in tuners, support V-chip, and CC etc.These are all legal requirements to sell it as a 'TV' in the US. Any other screen without this stuff is a 'monitor'
Nice try tying that together but the logic falls short unless portable quick chargers are as common as lawnmower gas cans. The point is the infrastructure is simply not there to quickly get an EV back on the road in anywhere near the same time frame as an IC vehicle (given the same problem of no fuel). As of right now, if you owned a Tesla and ran out of gas you would either be towed, or have someone bring your custom portable charger (citation needed btw) out to the car and then you WAIT for it to charge. The only dramatic effect is you pushing the bounds of logic to support your weak hypothesis.
"Religion does far more good then harm"
Providing false hope and straight up LYING to people is not a 'good' No human is any closer to knowing god then any other human. No human can say he knows more about God then any other human, period. So for one human to tell you he KNOWS the 'truth' about god is a liar. That is a not a good.
Dock on a keyboard and then email it out to be printed? Not having DIRECT printing is not the same as not being able to print. If you are a running a business you figure out a method that works. There are many ways to skin this particular cat, its not hard.
Because the PS3 is a finely made piece of hardware is why. It really is badass. And I dont think ANYONE thought Sony would go as far as they have regarding straight up removing advertised and fully supported features. The Rootkit thing , well honestly i dont think Sony knew how bad that design was and it was 3rd party developed. Still culpable, but it easy to see that it jsut got out of hand and wasnt intended or explained to them how bad the damage would be.
The Other OS thing they have no shield nor excuse for, no one to pass the buck to. Its a straight up fuck you.
They do have a 2nd gen Revolution MX. Saw it at staples the other day. They raised the button behind the scrollwheel too high and removed the thumbwheel. I instantly hated it
Is my UID low enough to say I agree with the GP without being labeled a troll? I had the MX 1000 and now I have the Revolution MX. Both are fantastic devices with THOUSANDS of hours on them each. My only complaint is that the mousewheel scroll doesnt work anymore
Non-profit doesnt mean 'no money'. Non-profits are run to enrich people too and are often as powerful and corrupt as regular companies. Being a non-profit doesnt mean its filled with altruistic people working for free.

Please tell me you arent storing DVDs as .Iso

The old lines arent being produced anymore. X25 is gone, Newegg is already out of stock
Extending copyright well beyond its original scope is also wrong, its just legal. Enshrined in law doesnt mean it is right.

Which is pretty much done with development, the key word in that sentence.
will "fucknotmorequititalready" do?
" I mean how many are actually gonna set up a test to see if their hosting company has the backups they say?"
Quite simply. Its not backed up until you do a FULL RESTORE FROM BACKUP. THATS HOW YOU KNOW IF ITS BACKED UP OR NOT.
aaand you killed it. Thx for playing, please try again.

You dont, simultaneity would be impossible. Planck time is still time.

Yeah the first gen G15 spacebar was terribly designed. IT ended up where you could only strike it on the left side or it would jam.
