What is the greenest most low energy way of growing the stuff? Presumably insulating the roof of the premises is a good idea, and also low-energy lighting may be good, but I understand there is no escaping the need for an infra-red(heat?) component.... or is there?
1) Set up DummyCo as Ethernet cable manufacturing company, setting up website extolling virtues of making Ethernet cables out of special cable that has to be connected the "right way round". 2) Make the cables as DummyCo 3) Open Monster Cable price guide and send appropriately large invoice from DummyCo to RealWorkplace 4) Profit!!
..both TPB and Google will eventually be able to rely on the same protection as ISPs. They are neutral carriers of information and therefore should, in law, be held harmless.
The Pirate Bays difficulties are that publically they try to deliberately convey an air of behaving unlawfully and dangerously to attract attention. I think the Swedish court bit on this too much, rather than the actual evidence and law.
From what I can tell, the legal abilities of the primary Swedish courts don't appear to be too good; previous judgements against Pirate Bay have routinely been overturned on appeal, and I suspect this one will be no different.
Seconded - if he's been able to live with floppies before, a USB key ought to hold all the documentation he ever needs, possibly using more than one for a backup cycle.
He just needs to backup his documents, and possibly ensure the backups are encrypted for security so that the loss of a key does not cause loss of confidential data.
European Human Rights law has the concept of a Right to a Private Life, which often works to protect the individual from the state. In this particular case the privacy of the individuals concerned were breached.....BUT.....the right to a Private Life has limits, including health, safety or moral reasons. One could stretch publishing membership of an organisation which is often linked to racist violence was necessary in a democratic society, especially as some of the members appear to have been in jobs that ban membership of the BNP.
Its possible, but I made no software recommendations. Its obvious his son is planning to configure and possibly maintain it.
Making the (possibly) rash assumption that open source packages exist for all his needs, then I would install a Linux distro rather than Windows. Every Windows upgrade often involves a radical change and there is a new one every 4-5 years. Open Source upgrades seem to be more evolutionary and could perhaps be addressed by son doing a yearly upgrade plus one day training on any significant issues.
My 1990 PC (486DX33, 8MB, 200MB drive) was about £2k and I bought a 386 laptop for a little more than that shortly after. I bought a Pentium P60 box about 1995 which I recall setting me back another £2k.
I still use the first keyboard I bought as it is much more tactile than new ones.
Incidentally, I was figuring 1-2k as total budget for all the new systems, not just one.
The original systems probably cost $5k-$7k 10-15 years back. Systems to replace these will cost $1-2k and deliver much higher performance.
Tell him not to worry about lasting 10 years as the investment cost is not so high. He needs a backup system which it sounds as though he hasn't had.
It sounds as though his backup can simply be a couple of USB keys which would hold all his data.
Unfortunately I do both PERL and PHP (and a number of other languages); as a result, I can never remember the exact syntax and terms in the language I'm supposed to be using....
You can debate forever who "won" Jutland. The Germans sank more and killed more, but the actual long term effect of the battle was that the German fleet stayed bottled up whilst the British maintained control of the seas (except for a slight U-boat problem....). Its my view that the only way the Germans could claim victory is if they had crushingly defeated the British, which they didn't
Bypassing safety mechanisms indeed seems to have been a major contributor, but the British made some early tactical errors and failed to exploit what their ships had been designed for - taking on the enemy at long range; instead, their battlecruisers closed the range where the heavier armour of the German vessels and better damage control won out in a slugging match.

..our future spacecraft are going to be powered by dilithium crystals, so why don't we just get on with mining the stuff?

Not only funny, but probably true. There are (so I've heard) a lot of interactive games that could use this technology and provide tactile feedback..
So what is a secure way to stop this tracking?
Not using your ISPs mail service seems a start but obviously not a complete answer....

Yes, but then along came the Ferengi and crrupted everyone's morals...

Indeed; record all incriminating evidence, leave now and sue. Ker-ching!
IIRC most deaths were due to artillery, and the British were short of that for the first few years of the war.

Possibly, but that certainly wasn't a world record.
Yes it was - just not this world!
