Actually in Canada, in the summer, there is more sunshine than U.S. (the days are longer than the nights). Today, there was 16 hours of sunshine in Calgary. In Dallas, there were 14 hours, 4 minutes.
Funny coincidence, but I was a Vista Beta tester. I downloaded the.iso, burnt the DVD and got the install key. But then I read the license agreement. I saw the part where it would quit after a few months, and I would need to buy the full version. I decided not to do the install. MAYBE that happened with EVERY tester. Since nobody was testing, they got no bug reports, so then they released it assuming it was perfect.
Vista works, it just doesn't work very well.
Perhaps Google should give top billing to the word "Beta" in the Gmail logo. It may deter people who will expect too much. It's free. It's in a testing phase (4 years so far). Quit bitching.
Assuming file-sharing is here to stay. Here is the procedure to get free backups:
1. Save all your movies inside zip files.
2. Give the zip files names like "Backup1_nakedchicks.zip"
3. Put them in a shared folder in a filesharing program.
4. Let the world be your mirror.
Don't forget about drag coefficients, and performance at high altitudes. Velocity Aircraft (http://velocityaircraft.com/airplane-specifications.html) can comfortably outrun a Bugatti Veyron while using less than 1/3 of the power, and carrying 4 people comfortably. It's a matter of getting enough altitude. (This plane is at 25000 feet and getting mileage of an SUV)
Everyone has a valid point with making backups of legally purchased licensed data. I need to get back to work making backups of my legally acquired $20 bills.

Just don't expect perfection from something that is in the testing phase. Read the license agreement and terms of service.

The only group you can hate in Canada is the white, rich, christian male.
Ya! High 5!
