Sure, but take it to your vacation spot in a Mexican port town, like the gabbiest folks in these forums have, and you can use it to your heart's content. Until, of course, too many other folks do and the interference levels start rising....
Either increase the size of your storage to handle 2 or 3 of the more popular and widely available formats (zip, rar, tar.(gz|bz2)), or use compression-on-the-fly libraries (behind a cache to reduce server load). This would allow the recipient to decide, and end up supporting perhaps a larger population.
Speaking as someone who was actually employed by AOL (back about a decade ago), my guess is that AOL doesn't yet know what they might possibly want with it in the future. They only know that they might possibly want something with it in the future.
Intellectual property hoarding. Someone wants it, so it must be worth something.
He did say he was building with straw bales. He's going to have walls that are around 2-3 feet thick, with packed dry straw and dead air for insulation. He'll probably end up with R-values for the walls of anywhere from 25 to 45 depending on construction techniques. Most people would consider that well insulated.
What with all the efforts to equate intellectual property with real property, I wonder if there may be something worthwhile in an attempt to apply the laws regarding prescriptive easements and adverse possession to patents/copyrights...
Kinda like showing the absurdity of corporations being given the rights of persons by attempting to marry/divorce one or seeking the death penalty in a death-through-corporate-negligence case.

If an admin is just using this tool to destroy potentially incriminating logs, then they are using it poorly. Like trying to pound a screw in with a hammer.
The use this has for an admin is to survey (or for the less experienced admin, to discover) what logs the system is currently, so that the admin can decide as a policy which logs should be active or not, and with what level of detail. The itch this tool scratches is that many systems as a default keep more logs than perhaps are necessary. A good admin will shut off whatever is deemed unnecessary, based on multiple criteria (security, system load, user/company privacy).
Forbidding the use of log destruction tools (rm?) is moot. Destroying evidence is illegal. Now, laws (or court orders) mandating a level of logging are a completely different matter.

a very poorly designed reactor, a shutdown of the insufficient safety systems, and a government that didn't care about its people. None of those conditions exists in US nuclear power plants.
Take stuff from work. It's the best way to feel better about your job. Never buy pens or pencils or paper. Take 'em from work. Rubber bands, paper clips, memo pads, folders - take 'em from work. It's the best way to feel better about your low pay and appalling working conditions.
Take an ashtray--they got plenty. Take coat hangers. Take a--take a trash can. Why buy a file cabinet? Why buy a phone? Why buy a personal computer or word processor? Take 'em from work.

This announcement from the producers of this record contains important information for radio program directors, and is not for broadcast.
The first cut on this record has been cross-format-focused for airplay success. As you well know, a record must break on radio in order to actually provide a living for the artists involved. Up until now, you've had to make these record-breaking decisions on your own, relying only on perplexing intangibilities like taste and intuition. But now, there's a better way.
The cut that follows is the product of newly-developed compositional techniques, based on state-of-the-art marketing analysis technology. This cut has been analytically designed to break on radio. And it will, sooner or later.
For the station that breaks it first, the benefits are obvious. You lead the pack. Yes, no matter what share of this crazy market you do business in, no other release is going to satisfy your corporation's current idea of good radio like this one. On this cut, we're working together, on the same wavelength, in scientific harmony.
But remember, this cut is constructed for multi-market-breaking NOW. Don't waste valuable research with needless delay. We've done the hard work of insuring your success; the final step is up to you.

Well, I figure, of all the things they could do to save money, cutting function names doesn't strike me as the top one on the list. I guess maybe for a low-impact kind of thing, and it couldn't hurt.
Why don't you and everyone who thinks so send me a nickle a day for the next several years. Chances are there aren't nearly as many of you who think that, as there are people who hit Gmail daily. And chances are still pretty good that a little less than $20/year from each of you would manage to pay off my mortgage AND buy me that new car AND...

If he's already got a long-ish USB cable, then the cantenna is not the best option. Cheap Asiancookware may do the trick. Though the Linksys USB device does not seem to be the preferred shape/size. The advantage is that USB cables don't suffer as greatly from signal loss as antenna cables do.

but what is "casual peer review" and why would it be desired (over perhaps more in depth peer review) for an encryption technology?

That's because US reactors are, of course, models of safe design and operation.
