Not so if the Earth gets destroyed. Perhaps a DR site? I think the moon will be a good repository for thumb drives. (Er but don't forget to off-site the USB 2.0 specs too!)
FWIW, I am in Hong Kong and have a 30Mbps DSL subscription. Using the Speakeasy speed test site, I was able to get an average of about 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload speed. This is testing against US sites (LA, SF, Chicago, NY, Dallas).
I am looking for an excuse to try out Solaris, and I thought of using it as a media server. Can it work well as, say, either a MythTV backend or front end? Or perhaps the better question is, can you run MythTV (or any other similar app) on it at all?
Come to think of it, the VMWare license server runs on Windows (only the ESX hosts themselves utilize Red Hat). Could everything boil down to being MS's fault? Oh how Slashdotters would love that.

ledger's joker is an idea. and ideas are bulletproof.
Intelligence officials now worry that software developed overseas poses another layer of risk because malicious codes or backdoors can be embedded in the software at its creation.
Perhaps now they will see the value in open source:P Although come to think of it, if the US government outsources its software from other countries, isn't it just prudent to demand for the source code, too?
Have you seen I Am Legend? While he may be a mainstay in stupid Michael Bay films, I am convinced he can pull off a convincing science fiction movie lead. And I mean in a character-oriented way, not just being action hero-y and all.

come on. do we have to bring up anti-chinese sentiments every time the olympics is mentioned? let's just for once enjoy the lego showcase, shall we?
and i do realize the OP may have meant this as a joke, hence this reply instead of modding him/her down.

4. Get into the box.

thank you.
i guess someone told exactly that to the goatse guy.
I am curious about these other burial sites you mentioned. Care to share which they are?
Oh - and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
And maybe Google Auction can carry over feedback scores from eBay. I hope this is possible/legal?
I agree, this all sounds like utter FUD. Blame Canada? Oh no, blame China!
