What happens when some user with a haphazard setup suffers major data loss due to poor backup patterns? I doubt they'll be subject to jail time. Unless the (American) government provides a reliable way of storing this information for the required period.

Reminds me of my old Staff. Sergeant.
Even if TPB wins, I imagine this will change the front of file-sharing once again and new technology will emerge. I'm just curious what it will be...
Flame-bait much? I do not deny most countries have such laws. However, as mentioned above, many countries may not be concerned with busting a spammer(especially if (s)he is harassing American's?) when they need to worry about food shortages, civil unrest, natural disasters or even war.
I'm CERTAINLY not implying the U.S. is the only one with the technology capable of doing this. Frankly, that's just ignorant.
I use free software when I can but can I be bothered to 'hack' the source code? Not if I can help it. I have a lot of other responsibilities. I've 'converted' a lot of Windows users to Linux and frankly, I don't see them playing with source anytime soon.
Really though...I imagine the logistics of getting people to one of these out-weight the costs of going to Mexico or something. Whats the point? Enough with this "Green or bust" junk. There is a line and I think we're crossing it. *kicks desktop recycling jar over* *walks to corner of office and kicks over blue recycling bin* *goes on office rampage* *dies of compound foot fracture*
I imagine most of these folks operate outside of US jurisdiction(yes, there is a world beyond your borders). Take some international law classes and you will understand. Imagine extraditing these guys from China? Goodluck!
That's rather disappointing for a community based effort. My girlfriend and I use a similar site but it skimps on the advertisements:

"When good servers good bad!"
And really, most of those were quiet disappointing. The Mythbusters need to blow some servers up....to debunk...the...kettle is black myth....?
Are you telling me you code very server you work with from scratch? I certainly don't. Documentation as a rule of thumb is good practice because it saves me time having to dig through code trying to link everything up. I don't want to have to watch a server to figure out the intricacies of its daily running. Give me a 2 page brief and I'm up and running. That's how it should be.
Ok, I'm tired of these Anti-Microsoft/Mac articles. Sure, I love/use Linux but how is using Microsoft 'the wrong way'? Does it have some major flaws? Sure.
But it's certainly not all bad, heck, I got this botnet going without a hitch.
What about just using a wiki with enforced layout standards? Where I work(big government bureaucracy) we use DocOpen(Windows shop...*sigh*) and just enforce standards through strict approval policies...
Its also bad when 4 years into your position you forget what service X does and you can't get it up and running after a major failure because you failed to document it.
Its actually quite scary. I was on the bus this morning on my way to work when I look out the window at a women driving. She is completely beyond reality and roughly 2 car lengths from the nearest car, fumbling for gloves that she clearly needs right that moment, then lipstick. I was genuinely boggled when she pulled out a nail file and started working on her nails. All the while, oblivious to the cars around her.
Frankly...that just made me WANT to use it. Imagine the potential for abuse if your colleagues are on your 'list'?
"Pulling all nighter at office"
"Frustrated with this big account"
"Heading down to archives for more info"
Then call in the next day saying you need a personal day...
I know that wouldn't fly in the private sector...go government jobs!

So, that's neat and all but did I misunderstand something. His model doesn't seem that powerful unless he was using modern processors?
But can it play beta-max?

Let there be light!

...down-right brilliant. Not sure I understand the application but it sure was confusing, therefore, brilliant...

Now I can conveniently share my Windows_Release_BT.iso! Thank you Microsoft.

Post-its mostly...they add colour and contrast to my work space and they're easy to replace.

I can see it now, "Honey, we're going on vacation!"
"No, I won't sign the divorce papers..."

Not quite...friends don't let friends take fat chicks home when they're drunk...
As a note; *imagine* if Slashdot were to succumb to that.

Servers just explode. Natural causes.
Psst....you're doing it wrong...

Its scary when you consider the implications of this - as you pointed out.
I can imagine the EULA now:
