What you experience is nothing new. As you maintain data over a long period of time, you spend more and more time on maintaining, verifying, migrating, archiving it.
You should be able to put a value on your data and then find a storage and backup-medium that represents this value.
If the data is commercial, you should find a way to charge your clients for the purchase and ongoing maintenance of a storage-server.
If the data is private, you have to get rid of as much of it as possible and transfer the rest to a long-term storage medium (which can be analog, depending on the data)
As others have said, hoarding data is the same as hoarding physical stuff.
There is a solution for the problem of "too much data": it's called "retention".
You must give up some of it, or transfer it to some other, long-lived medium.
Yeah, but the freeze may be lifted completely (due to a formal error).
Personally, I wouldn't invest a cent in any of his ventures - but too often already has the music and motion-picture industry used false allegations to shut down innocents.
"Innocent until proven guilty" was once worth something (although not in this century, I admit).
They are afraid that the case against "Kim Dotcom" implodes and he sues (which, given the circumstances is not unlikely).
It will be interesting to see the outcome of this.
Kim Dotcom certainly has the funds and is willing to fight this to the end.
In fact, this winter it was the opposite most of the time (FR buying in DE).
Reason?
The French haven't gotten their act together in phasing out their hopelessly inefficient electric heatings - and the insulation of most houses is very bad.
In contrast, Germany has worked hard to make heatings and houses fit for the 21st century.
or we can accept it and make a world that the artists (not corporate middlemen) can make a living.
That's a great theory where music is concerned and any start up band can get going with a couple hundred bucks worth of equipment and a broadband connection. I'm not so certain how it translates into movies though. To pick one of my favorite bits of modern culture, do you think you can bring Harry Potter onto the big screen without the resources of big budget movie studio?
AFAIK, "Harry Potter" is a series of books.
There was no need to bring it to the "big screen" in the first place, other than to make the author the wealthiest woman in Great Britain and for some morons who are too lazy to read...
A CRL is basically a flat file.
It should not be difficult to make it available 24x7 - at least for someone who charges outrageous amounts of money in exchange for basically digitally signing a couple of bytes.
For lack of other evidence, I'm going to assume that they (North Korea) blow-up their stuff once they have enough of it.
I'm sure that if either DPRK/Iran had a whole arsenal full of them, they'd be willing to show them.
The chances that this is not true are very remote.
It's a bluff - and everybody knows it. But everybody also knows that you can't call their bluff.
You have to give them a chance to keep their face.
KYU just wants to keep running the country like a mobster family business - and receive international recognition for that at the same time.
MA, among other things, is probably prepping Iran with the tools for a post-american, post-petroleum future that you can get a glimpse at by looking into the current Iraq "situation" and watching old Mad Max films (if you can tell them apart).
Hint: it's not about oil.
It's water.
MA is a loonatic and the scum of the earth - but he's also smart.
When it's time to bargain over the water-supply for his country, he knows he will need - in the words of President Truman - "a big hammer".
Consensus is that DPRK/Iran may (!) have enough material to build a single nuclear bomb (if at all) in the near future.
AFAIK, neither nation has ICBMs - as such, the device would have to be used as in a conventional bombing attack: delivered and brought to explosion on-site.
It would be very effective in killing as many people as possible in one swoop - but ultimately lead to an even more brutal strike-back.
In a way, this is some sort of MAD.
KJU and MA know this - they have to appear just crazy enough to let us think they could do it - but without actually painting themselves into a corner in such a way that they have no other option.
It's much more complicated and much more dangerous than the game US and USSR used to play. It's a bit like the Cuban Missile crisis - but performed twice a year...
But moving the Doomsday clock one minute is OK IMO. That DPRK/Iran theater is just a distraction from the economic problems we have.
Other countries's banks go for a 20% down-payment - because they calculate that in the event that you go bankrupt, they can sell the property for 80% of its original value very fast and still break even.
A 90% financing in the midst of a bubble is no good idea - unless you are basically unifireable from your job (like a civil servant in Germany, with automatic yearly rises and all)
At least, the time of Indian people.
In other markets (Africa especially) I'd argue that it is much more important to provide schoolbooks, paper and pencils to pupils (and school-buildings that don't get swept away by large rain-falls and where pupils can learn without getting soaking wet from the rain).
Dude, you need to get off whatever drugs you take, seriously.
Every government spends every dollar (or whatever currency unit they reap in taxes) they get and then some - if those 2 million hadn't been spent on that idiot, do you honestly think they would have been put into a kind of piggybank?
It would have been spent on some other useless shit, no doubt.
It's the same everywhere - even large corporations suffer from this.
I saw somebody reading a porn-magazine on the train once. He had wrapped it in an exercise-book cover and held it relatively close to his face, so the people next to him couldn't see it. But I doubt they would have appreciated;-)
But from where I sat, I could clearly see it. And it wasn't just a Playboy ("....for the interviews"). It was one of those "under the counter"-mags.
I've no problem with people reading and watching all kinds of (legal) stuff in their own homes, preferably with the blinds shut, but on a train?
Eek.
Worst thing, on a train, I can just leave at the next station of go to the next compartment - not so on a plane.
But I'm sure, RyanAir would love to charge extra for the hand-sanitizer and the disposable toilet-seat covers....
as mentioned in the comments, somebody uploaded a link to a site hosting the file with the addresses.
Which is nice because then you can check if your name is on it (mine isn't).
For those whose name is on it, it's not so nice, but that's a different story...
Apple said, they tried to negotiate a deal, too.
It's just that Samsung would not agree to the proposed terms ("do the right thing") and Apple didn't want to move away enough (if any) from its original terms.
I got tons of "Connect to... on Facebook" mails from people I don't even know because some friend/customer synced his addressbook with FB - with my address etc. in there.
I don't have an account on FB and never will.
But I'm tempted to fill out that form.
The Lemmings you know have already uploaded most of the basic information about you to Facebook via the various syncing methods.
Ever got a "connect" request from someone you don't even remotely know that bears a "you might know XXX" at the end, with XXX being someone you do know?
Bingo. In theory, they only know your email - but if you honestly believe they threw away the rest, I have to ask: do you also believe in the tooth-fairy?
I'm afraid, we're a bit beyond that phase.
Unfortunately.
What is publicly available (even without those TMZ images) makes the outlook not very bright.
The behaviour was criminal.
But that doesn't warrant shutting down or censoring "social media" - as useless and productivity-killing as that stuff may be anyway...
Because, as I said, the definition of a criminal is very flexible.
In Germany, people are exchanging information about random ticket inspections via FB and twitter so they can avoid paying the ride-fare.
Should that be a reason to block or shutter FB and twitter, too?
The Chinese seem to be enjoying the fine tradition of internet hyperbole moreso than usual. The PM did not in fact suggest there was any plan to shut off social media whatsoever. What he did say was
Mr. Speaker, everyone watching these horrific actions will be stuck- will be struck by how they were organized via social media. Free flow of information can be used for good, but it can also be used for ill. So we are working with the police, the intelligence services, and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people from communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality.”
Notice the important qualifiers there. They're looking at whether it would be right. They're also specifically considering those communications used to support violence, disorder, or criminal behavior.
We can, and should, debate the legitimacy of what is being considered but the conversation is underminded when we allow ourselves the thrill of shrill, non-factual, accusations.
Jesus was tried and crucified as a criminal, too.
The definition of a "criminal" varies from country to country. Don't you think the protesters in Iran weren't labeled as "criminal", too?
Or the people who toppled the regimes in Egypt and Tunisia?
The guys in China's KP probably can't stop laughing - with talk like this, Western political "leaders" reveal their calls for human rights in China and elsewhere as what they really are: soapbox speeches.
Granted, the riots in UK didn't have a political dimension. It was "just" people who wanted to own a large plasma or LCD TV, and iPad or designer-clothes but couldn't afford any of these. But it's a slippery road and no one who actually believes in democracy and the right to protest should ever feel compared to go down that road!
