Er, actually, yes. For my personal stuff. A friend and I had an extra computer each hanging around the house, so we tossed 520 GB (2x250GB storage, 1x20GB OS) into them and they're both hooked up to our own networks. He backed up to both of his hard drives all that he needs, came to my place where I had already done the same, and we swapped one of each. Now we both have a local 250GB backup as well as a remote 250GB one. The two machines run RSync over SSH to sync up nightly, though to be honest it doesn't even need to be that much.
So, what, an old computer + 2 harddrives you can get for ~$100 each + one equally geek friend and you're set.
Then again, I also trust my friend with my data (read: massive pr0n collection)
A similar case happened in my area (a suburb of Philadelphia) recently. High school students were caught drinking off-campus and off-school function. While they weren't punished simply for that, they were also student athletes that had signed an agreement stating they wouldn't drink/do drugs/be a bad peron as they're representatives of the school. They were suspended from athletic events because of this.
I don't think a student should be held responsible for what (s)he does on his/her own time, unless it affects the school itself (like being punished in school for breaking into the school and pissing/shitting no computers....true story from my old school).
I think *this* is an example of it being handled correctly: http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/110-1104200 5-565128.html
A **guess** that I would make (IANA Cryptographer) is that it can be applicable since, given a very large prime number, you're now given an algorithm where both prime numbers that multiply to make that larger number fall into.
Would you not then be able to take that algorithm and solve for the only two possibilities?

Search for an artist you enjoy and find others linked to him/her/them. You're guaranteed to find something new. Now even finding new groups is all but handed to you. No more complaining.

But of course you do that already. right?

Some of us got it :)

"given a very large prime number" should read "given a very large number with prime factors"
Sorry about that.
