Check out SpiderOak. You set up your keys and you're the only one who has the keys. Even if the NSA came with a warrant, SpiderOak would only be able to hand over the ciphertext/garbled blob.
(yes, this is a referral link). Take off the referrer code if you really want to screw me out of some free storage, but in either case, go at least look at SpiderOak.
humans have become idiots who can't find their arse with a map, because they can't even read a map.
Ahem, I disagree. I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh. . . people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over HERE in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.
I don't get why we aren't doing more with space-based solar. I'm no physicist, but it seems like you should be able to launch 4 or 6 fairly-equidistant satellites with solar collectors into orbit somewhere around the equator, and you have fully fault-tolerant/redundant 24 hour a day power that you can beam down to regional distribution points via microwave, which then uses the existing power grids to get it where it is needed. This provides a big enough chunk of the required energy for the planet, and OPEC countries become just competing providers, not a defacto energy monopoly bloc that they are.
Then we can move on to having wars over something else, like clean water, the next limited, mismanaged resource.
If you thought that solving the oil problem would stop wars, think again. We're human - we're really good at killing other humans. It's our thing, yo. In light of that, my dream is that one day, our wars, instead of being about tragic-yet-understandable resource management and distribution, are about utterly ridiculous things. I hope my kids or grandkids are around when Fox News is trying to pin the great Boxers vs Briefs vs Commando war (World War 6) on the Clinton Administration. Or maybe Al Jazeera reports that the Big Endians are regrouping after a deadly surprise attack by the Little Endians in the Where-to-break-open-your-eggs war that is now going into its third year in Southeast Asia.
Maybe, just maybe, in the year 3019, future generations will have a war over whether we should execute Dick Cheney with a firing squad or by hanging. Yes, he'll still be around then, causing mischief. If you don't like it, then YOU get off your ass and find the rest of the horcruxes.
But I digress - space-based solar beats the pants off terrestrial solar, what with no silly clouds and atmosphere to get in the way, not having to worry about a lack of sunny days, and a host of other reasons I can't think of right now.
Can some smart person of science who actually knows what they are talking about comment on whether this is a crazy argument?
He is not related to the Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman, who was born in 1966 to a different Yakov Perelman. However, Grigori Perelman told The New Yorker that his father gave him Physics for Entertainment, and it inspired his interest in mathematics.
Actually from what I've heard, Jesus is like most other guys - he probably won't come more than once; rather he will probably just roll over and go to sleep. His brother Ricardo, on the other hand, I hear he's a stallion and just keeps going....

Like many of you, I haven't built a box in a while because what I have now still works fine and my needs haven't grown enough to deal with the hassle of getting current with the newest tech. While reading this discussion I happened to revisit Pricewatch, just to see what their offerings look like and see how much stuff costs and so forth. This led to this very uh... interesting discovery. When the hell did
THIS happen?
I believe this adds a whole new dimension to the compatibility and benchmark question...
For the Barry White effect to work properly, you need dimmed lights and scented candles. You can get the dimmed lights in the aquarium, but the candles will be a challenge.
The fools at the Academy for the Slightly Evil laughed at me when I introduced my doctoral dissertation proposal last month, but now look, the winds are shifting in my favor! This is going to go far to aid my goal of getting as many batteries as possible into the landfills that service Los Angeles and New York.

This is slashdot, so nitpicking is called for when you get to a subject as holy as Douglas Adams. He only had one s in his first name. His parents weren't bestselling authors and so could only afford a single 's'.
Of course, I do see a Wheel of Fortune "Before and After" puzzle here: Frederick D_uglass Adams.
Reports like this, where fairly old records are referenced, always make me wonder about the accounting that we keep regarding current events. To what degree will our own stories be available to future generations? We have an ever-growing dependency on a computerized-only storage monoculture, and frankly all this may just be a good $CATASTROPHE$ away from being made into doorstops.
I'm not suggesting we transfer the contents of Slashdot to cave paintings, or transcribe $CELEBRITY_DU_JOUR$'s Tweets to stone tablets, but does anyone know of projects underway to preserve the highlights of modern history in some sort of permanent medium? Is anyone taking down the top x significant stories in a year and sticking them in a jar in a cave somewhere?

Hi, Billy Mays here!
Are you tired of content being taken from or added to your Kindle arbitrarily?
Are you sick to your stomach at the thought of losing control?
Are you afraid to come to terms with not owning stuff you bought?
Now you can store and enjoy your Kindle without fear of having it messed with by THE MAN! And, as a bonus, you'll also be safe from rabid telemarketers, alien abduction, and bolts of lightning. But we're not done yet! If you act now, we'll throw in another one at no additional cost! (just pay shipping and handling - it's reasonable, I promise)
Instead of being scared or frightened, check if you have a vulnerable device in a vulnerable configuration. If you do, change the password, or better yet, flash the firmware. Monitor your other systems for signs of compromise. Fix any issues you find in the manner that makes the most sense.
I don't see where the implications of this botnet are any more or less scary than any other botnet based on the affected population. I imagine for most OpenWRT users, their device is their main gateway to the internet and once they have the device configured the way they want, they don't have much of a need to mess with it unless their needs change, and out of sight, out of mind.
We have enough manufactured fear being thrown at us as it is.

Are they pre-loading "Genuine People Personalities" on the Teslas now? I want a Marvin-flavored one!

Realistically, the codebase has to have changed somewhat since then, right?

awesome... at the same time I saw this comment, the music shuffle Gods decided it was time for Rob Base and "it takes too". Ah, memories...

wow - I read that at first as "enema" and was very concerned.

You've been "mostly dead" all day...
Sure, you say that now, but you'll appreciate the DHS when they protect you from whatever unthinkable things come forth from R'lyeh...
For the record, in Debian this can also be found in /etc/debian_version as well.

You're absolutely right. I have prod, dev, and UAT instances of Captain Morgan, and they all seem equally potent.

This is my opinion, please feel free to disagree.
