Plan 9 taught me that if your terminal needs backing up, you have already lost. Boot diskless and you don't need to image your disks and hope for the best because all of your terminals are just that, terminals. Storage belongs somewhere safe. These days cheap high speed networking should be making disks redundant in a LAN situation. The place is a damn sight quieter consumes less energy.
There's a lot of places a 500Mhz EPIA fanless will do just fine.
:) My hpyothesis was that if I expressed a doubt on the provability of evolution, someone would assume my objection was dogmatic rather than linguistic.
It's flabberghasting that the debate still centers on if rather than how. I sometimes imagine that as The Mayflower was being waved from harbour, more than a few townsfolk were muttering "thank goodness they've gone, God this, God that! blah blah blah" to themselves.
Why are you bringing theism into this ? This isn't the 19th Century! What's the bible got to do with anything ?
That a set of axioms in engineering called evolution have a set of assertions that is mathematically provable is *not* proof of anything but the relationship between the axioms.
It certainly doesn't prove that "natural selection as the mechanism of evolution" nor that it is proved "once again".
I suspect you think I am looking for disproof or are making assumptions of what my opinions are. I'll let you into a secret :
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

I would challenge the assertion that entering the design parameters and working out which is the best result isn't proof of the origin of the species suggested by Darwin.
Eventually your malware will overwrite your snapshots or the binary that restores them.
That said, the OS I use has daily snapshots (or as often as you like) to a central server (thus enabling coalescing of data blocks i.e. repeated blocks of data are stored only once). The choice of which snapshot to use is per process, so, for instance, you can compile yesterday's code in one window and last weeks in another and see what changed. Or boot any terminal into last month's state of any other etc. etc.

Most computer crime is from the inside. Inside people already have elevated access to stuff like your hashed password.

That makes you one of them.
If god didn't want me to fuck choirboys he wouldn't have made them so damn attractive.
You're answering a question with some questions.
The fate of us all is to die, so should we all be killing as much as possible?

Fight war not wars.
So what is your criteria for what you will and won't murder ?
9p with centralised separately encrypted authentication, thank you for asking.
3s is quicker than my CRT takes to have a picture, ymmv.

You can be as skeptical as you like. LinuxBIOS has been doing 3s boots.

Those mechanisms are for RPC, you can choose whatever method you like when your whole IP stack is SSL encrypted, like mine.
I'm constantly surprised at what people will plod along with!
Use of SSH is a sign you're losing.

A writer in a technical publication should be careful when using the word "proof". A demonstration of viability is not a proof.
Designing a radio antenna with an algorithm is not a proof of anything, except that it is possible to design a radio antenna with an algorithm.

If you can't trust your OS, why don't you get a proper one?

Here, let me help you with that :
[NETBIOS] network came to standstill and exchange servers melted down
How's that profitable multinational working out for you? Sounds like you got it nailed down pretty good!
Organisation.
even Linux ! say it aint so.

"Completely re-written" doesn't often preface "therefore more secure".
