    It provides power via radioactive decay. It lasts 50 years wether you use it or not. You can't exchange shorter life for logner lasting in this sort of thing.

    As I said, they can kiss my ass. It's called a calculated risk. Either they will do nothing, showing others that they need not be so uptight, because the only people who are at risk to being busted are those that distribute information. If they take me away, so be it. I will make sure I become a poster-child, like mitnick and dimerty (how the fsck do you spell that?). I would hopefuly raise awareness, possibly even get parts of the DMCA thrown down in court. No matter what... I WIN

    And if the fed DO want to bust me, they better do it by this weekend, since I'm doing a fresh OS install which will be setup to encrypt all my data, and after I transfer the data from my old drives, I will run a multi-pass wipe on them, rendering them unreadable*

    *unless they have really weird ways to read old data after it's been overwritten several times that cost something sane.

    255.255.255.255 is not a valid subnet mask. the most restrictive possible subnet mask is 255.255.255.252, and it has two usable IPs, one for a gateway and one for a computer.
