My ideal target is for Ask Slashdots to be interesting and informative with the pros and cons of various solutions to a complex problem being discussed. With a really basic problem such as this I really would have thought a simple Google would have given the best solution. In fact I had this very problem several months ago and all I did was search the internet and the manual for XBMC came up top.
I agree with the point about not wanting to add another point of failure in a device where failure could mean life or death but the army analogy doesn't really hold up because they could just program it so all their own troops could fire all army guns.

Yes, that is exactly what they mean.

Hard to remember? For some reason that jingle has stuck with me for years.
Yes, we know. It is horrible and incredibly sad but why did you feel the need to post a comment about it on this story?
Fairly sure that doesn't matter. If you don't share it then isn't it a legitimate backup?
Well given that nearly half of the files on Megaupload had never been downloaded that makes a good percentage non-infringing. http://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-search-warrants-ignored-massive-non-infringing-use-121118/
It does even say in the summary that it is satirical. I think Vortex needs to get his sarcasm detector completely replaced.
