NASA is shuttering their space program, and the Virginia government wants to repurpose the spaceport to make some money by shooting dead people into space?
Parent has nailed this on the head.
And before we fork the argument from below, client-side encryption doesn't work because you lose Dropbox's incremental update features.
I regret to inform you that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There is absolutely no encryption going on with your WoW account, let alone something as complex as RSA Encryption.
There is an additional password, generated from a hardware dongle, which is required for you to log in, but it is simply a password, not an encryption key. Once it has been successfully provided, the rest of your traffic is identical to traffic on an account without an authenticator. Your account is not "encrypted". You have a second password. Nothing more, nothing less.
Do not break lines simply for the sake of breaking lines. The beauty of markup languages is that each display will independently render it to whatever line length makes sense. When you add your own line breaks for no structural reason, you not only destroy the readability of whatever you're trying to say, but you also break the "Abbreviated" form of display, since it thinks you started a new paragraph. Most people have (Score: 2)'s show up as Abbreviated.
Didn't a bunch of whackjobs a few years ago try and claim that Hurricane Katrina was the result of some Weather Control Device created by the Axis of Evil?
Everything is wrong about this article. I love/. and Linux as much as the next guy, but this article starts out defining it's own terminology, then reads like an advertisement for SheevaPlug, and then wraps up with... not much.

If one her first day at HP, her first encounter with Mr. Hurd was him grabbing her butt in the copy room and asking her to get naked, then fine, it is sexual harassment.
Nah, he waited until the second day. That's what his buddy Larry E. told him to do.
Oh, then Aftonbladet does not fit into that category.
What do you call something that claims to be thoughtful journalism but obviously isn't?
We call it a rag, or sometimes, just "crappy newspaper".
We've got newspapers, we've got rags, and we've got tabloids. Tabloids are what you find in the supermarket checkout and tell you things like Oprah just had her 23rd secret child and that aliens have infiltrated the government.
You guys gotta learn to use the quote tags instead of the italics. Slashdot knows to hide the quote when displaying your post in abbreviated mode, so we can actually read what you said.

Web-Based Private is an oxymoron. Why does this have to be web-based?
It would be pretty trivial to set up a Linux distro with two hard drives, one with the simple operating system and the other an encrypted drive with a passphrase, and set up the OS to nuke the second drive if the current time is ever greater than three months from the last time the passphrase was successfully supplied.
These guys are probably finding bugs in Mozilla to get laid. I know my wingmen and i have used that line to great success many times. You wouldn't believe how fast the ladies forget the fighter pilots, basketball players, and CIA agents at the bar when I tell them about a DOM parsing error i discovered!
To seal the deal i tell them i didn't want the money as i'm already super rich. Tomorrow i leave for africa to help impoverished children install Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept. The Ubuntu operating system was named for this principle.

Steve Jobs: "Damn! I ~knew~ we should have called our company 'Gapple' !"

This absolutely needs to be a Foursquare check-in point.
I propose the use of there're as an abbreviation of there are.
You are absolutely right. That also wasn't the point either of us were trying to make, but I'm pretty sure you already know that too.
I'm pretty sure "one way encryption" is an oxymoron.

OP here. This is exactly what I was thinking of. You nailed it, I had it wrong.

SheevaPlug, I don't know about the rest of you but that name brings visions to my mind that has nothing to do with computers.
Thanks for ruining my lunch.
