It's LZO compressed by default - not to mention encrypted and X509 authenticated - which probably means a net reduction in bandwidth. Go visit their site. It's truly excellent open source software.
But seriously. As a practical matter, anyone stuck behind state censorship can use a friend's OpenVPN and proxy in another country.
Americans seem to like learning things the hard way. If your taxes had not been so successfully funneled into private hands (the major purpose of the Iraq war and most other Bush-Cheney initiatives) then you might now be enjoying the healthcare, education and infrastructure that the rest of the world buys with their taxes.
They're not just for guns and bombs. Imagine if even a fraction of that colossal waste on weapons, and corporate thievery, was actually spent on improving life for Americans...
Due to the Patch's location in the North Pacific Gyre, its growth is guaranteed to continue as this Africa-sized section of ocean spins in a vortex that effectively traps flotsam.
...than RAID can, by design. That's the OP's point here. Disk failures are far from the only failure mode; and many failures are neither detected nor reported.
I'd be shocked of any hard drive manufacturer wasn't using an ECC that gave their devices a very near zero chance of any user experiencing a corrupted read for the entire lifetime of the drive.
For suitably large values of "near zero"!
Corrupted reads have a variety of causes. For example, sometimes it is reading the wrong sector. RAID-1 will happily deliver the bad data. For any RAID level, *writing* the wrong sector (which can also happen with non zero probability) is catastrophic. Data can also be corrupted at any stage after leaving the media: cable, controller, etc.
ZFS (but not RAID) can protect against all of the above error modes, and will additionally self heal (fix the data on disk). It does not assume any component, or even error reporting, is reliable.
you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell it's make, occupants,
It can be more important to know exactly where that car travelled for every moment of the past 48 hours, what addresses it stopped at, etc. In other words, the Feds already know who you are - they just want to know everything that you do, and high resolution surveillance is cheaper than gumshoes on the ground. Plus, car tracking and even pedestrian tracking seem feasibly automatable.
Yes, the implications of such a system are horrifying (combined with, for example, the continuous spying on domestic communications that is already in place). No 'free' citizen can accept constant government surveillance.

The stakes are very low, and powerful interests really don't care who wins.
Relax!

Apart from the whole "they're evil" part.

You *have* been away a long time then.
Never heard Microsoft called "stupido-quark" before, but if the cap fits...

As sharks.
Isn't that all that's needed to defeat a ground based laser?
Go on, mod me. I don't care.
the island is almost entirely comprises human-made trash. It currently weighs approximately 3.5 million tons with a concentration of 3.34 million pieces of garbage per square kilometer, 80 per cent of which is plastic.

What a load of bollocks.

A successful RAID scrub depends on perfect error reporting. ZFS does not.

Movies like "Deja Vu" are meticulously designed to make this kind of surveillance acceptable to the public.
Would be very interesting to follow the money trail of films like that.
