With all the advances we've made now, with a doubling of the storage capacity every 18 months, why would we have to worry about what's going to happen to our data? Stop back-projecting our past and trying to make it the albatross of our future. Bits are cheap and plentiful and becoming ever more so. In fifteen years, people are going to carry today's internet around in their back pockets like we have emulators on our mobile phones. As long as mankind matters, they will keep our data. We will effectively live forever.
Planets, elements, football teams, soda brands, countries... anything that's easy to remember. The whole point of naming is to artificially attach meaning to something generic. Btw, my proposal is to name your servers after the Obama administration;-)
I think both of these are easy promises. Yes, there were no attacks on American soil, but at the cost of liberty and convenience. Call me a troll, but the terrorists sort of won there.
Stabilization of Iraq? Since when did that happen? Since all the men of fighting age were either spent or emigrated?

I assure you I have nothing to do with this.
Moxie Marlinspike, there's that guy again! Wish I had a recognizable name like him.
Who wants to know?

The Obama administration. They serve you.

Well, evil is not a black and white thing... Oh, Dubya said it was, sure...
Since I'm Obama, I feel entitled to respond.

What? You don't even know me!
Whoosh
0karma, that's about what this account is netting me...
What? Why me? I'm broke!
Good move! I say Obama should be given a raise, free beer, moderations at +5, and infinite karma!
Thank god Obama would never use a Slashdot account to keep in touch, that would be ludicrous!
Btw, how about lunch @ 12.30pm?
The orbital mind control laser. You know too much.
I was going to use Vimeo to host the vids, but got overrided. Frustrations.
How about the username bias?
Nice of you to ask, but how the hell do I know!
Somehow this is all going to be linked to the new Prez, right?
There's always slashdot.org to address the masses, too.
