Yep I shoulda looked before I clicked...nothing non-obvious here folks, move along.
Here's an actual handy tip: You can make your RSA keyfiles also act as shellscripts for the connection, so you only need to carry 1 file to open the connection from any *nix machine.
To do it, just prefix your keyfile (say it's called ssh_my_server) like this:
#!/bin/sh ssh user@hostname -i ssh_my_server exit
----------BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-------- (key goes here, use 4096-bit key for extra l33tness)
Make the file executable and now you can open the connection just by cd'ing to it and running it.
Not a big impact to everyday life, not much to write sci-fi over. I think the biggest change is that the old Sahara Mass Solar Power idea could become viable.
There are conditions like that which could falsify global warming. If there were a long-term global trend of atmospheric and oceanic temperature decline despite increasing CO2 concentrations for example (other factors being roughly stable). Disproof of the greenhouse effect or discovery of some previously unknown mitigating factor. Discovery of some unknown natural fossil-source greenhouse gas mega-vent could disprove the currently accepted extent of human influence.
Well then I assume you're a creationist too, because evolution has many of the same complexities. No list of all steps from basic physics to "survival of the fittest." No scientific single falsifiable hypothesis, only a vague and highly summarized one as with GW.
So I assume that likewise, you reject the best knowledge we have for the mysterious alternative, at least until these silly and unsatisfiable conditions are met.
Like I said, no such list exists for any other complex theory and it doesn't bother me in the slightest, especially in this case having been thoroughly and exhaustively nitpicked over the years by climate "skeptics."
Astrology and creationism both rely on clearly wrong and unfounded assertions that can be picked out which invalidate the entire theory, I don't think they're bullshit because I haven't seen a list of all steps between basic physics and astrology/creationism being real, I think they're bullshit because they rely on bullshit.
Global warming relies on and complies with well-established or at least reasonably sound physics at every step, if you want to disprove it the onus is on YOU. If you really want to find the god of the gaps, you'll find some place to shove him in and no list will ever be granular enough to stop you.
You won't find such a list for any other complex theory. I never believed that such a list existed, as in was already compiled - It is possible to make such a list, but unnecessary. Most of the steps involved are well-established physics.
Anyone who believed it wasn't traceable is a moron. They had all the information necessary, you'd have to believe they were not using it out of the goodness of their hearts.
That's a monstrous task you're putting on me, I'm just one guy you know, and it's nothing you couldn't do yourself if you were really a skeptic...
You know what, you got me, it's all fake, me and every other non-denialist and scientist in the world are paid $100k per year to pretend global warming's real (the payments are laundered through government green energy investments). We're pulling metric shit-tons of CO2 out of the ground every second (or a volcano-load every ~3 days if you prefer) but somehow, it isn't warming the atmosphere or causing ocean acidification at all. We think ghosts are eating it or something.
Exactly, but according to Bay-ian theory I'm sure it will be because they enjoyed space pizza and space skateboarding and space surfing which are pretty much the same thing, and then they'll quickly move on from the discussion with a dick/fart joke.
Extrapolating a complex hypothesis from fundamental physics requires a bunch of steps, *each one* which must be subject to strict scrutiny and falsifiability.
And indeed each one is falsifiable and "climate skeptics" have been attacking them all to find a weak spot to place their chisel for years, so far without success.
Don't forget the moon landing, water fluoridation, the roundness of the Earth, and what aircraft contrails are made of.
Surely the students of tomorrow, when informed of all the equally valid theories out there, will arrive at a reasonable medium somewhere between hard, cold science and soft, warm batshit insanity.
Sometimes people ask "what would it take to falsify the man-made global warming theory?". Well, basically it would require that our fundamental understanding of physics be wrong, because that's what the theory is based on. This fundamental physics has been scrutinized through scientific experiments for decades to centuries.

I was just wondering if there was a way to self-reference the filename, thanks.

Too bad they did this after Solyndra was on the rocks, and then needed a bailout, and then failed anyways.
This was my first thought. The second was "wait, there are phones that can be remotely BRICKED? 8-( "
Where in the ice core records? I hope you're not talking about the ice age CO2/heat lag thing because that's been discussed to death.
In the end, a hypothesis which responds to any refutation with yet another excuse is simply another version of astrology.
And this leads back to the vain quest for a single scientific hypothesis to cover the entire theory.
Plus MS owns Sysinternals so that's the closest thing to an "official" solution you're going to get.

What now?

True, space requirements and construction costs go way up though.

You can't put any kind of earthquake isolation system on a cave either...
"Light tubes" might help as well.

LOL nice XD
Or bea...uh, I mean exorcise the "demons" out of the infected person, who no doubt brought the ailment upon themselves due to their sinful nature.
"Repent and accept the healing hand of GAWD! Expel the demons! Yes let 'em all out. Not on my shoes though."

Method of not falling off the earth using gravity and a mobile device
Mobile patent, trumps both "on a computer" and "on the Internet." B-)
Damn right, that was my first thought...method of exchanging gases by diffusion being the next best thing. Breathe and I'll sue!
Global warming relies heavily on the greenhouse effect, that's falsifiable.
You won't get anything so simple that covers the entire global warming theory:
