I wouldn't put anything in a lockbox. Such media will be tested very rarely, and when they do fail, it's likely you won't know until it's too late.
I'd rather use a hard drive, hooked up (NAS or mini-pc, maybe) to a network and capable of rsync. You could place it somewhere in your home, or, if available, another secure location with Internet access. Run daily or nightly automated backups.
The AI shown in the Terminator movies is not Strong. It is never shown to be smarter than humans, and often shown to be more stupid. In particular, the franchise is built on the premise that humanity wins the war in the future.
Real Strong AI would, once activated, quickly elevate its own intelligence to a godlike level. After that, it would be to humans as humans are to ants.
How about you use the GNU General Public License? It has strong copyleft, which prevents people from distributing closed-source software that uses your library.
Actually, the bill text says "no agency may mandate...", so it ought to cover the DHS and NSA as well.
However, since most (all?) government-induced vulnerabilities so far have been "suggested", rather than "mandated", I'm unsure how effective this bill would be.
Has Hawking not heard of Friendly AI?
Strong AI is ridiculously dangerous if you don't give it a proper goal system. It will be invented sooner or later, assuming humanity doesn't destroy itself first. Therefore, we're better off trying to find ways to make it friendly, rather than trying to stop its development.
One wonder why this guy would travel to America if he knew he could get arrested for his business. Only thing I can think of was that he actually didn't know it was illegal.
Relevant law: Title 18,United States Code, Section 2512(l)(b) (sale of an interception device).

And Christianity is an open insult to Islam.
In order to avoid offending all religious beliefs, all religions must end.
Sounds like a good idea, actually. :)
I still hear floppy drives now and then. Granted, they used to sound a bit different when actually reading disks...
You could keep the Chromebook and install some form of GNU/Linux on it. I hear Xubuntu works pretty well.
That People article was written in 1980, and the makers of Footloose did read it. See wikipedia.
I'm sorry to say your belief in people's lack of stupidity is flawed.

Consumers have no recourse if a digital currency loses its value or if the digital currency system fails.
Consumers have no recourse if a national currency fails either.
Also, national currencies are mostly digital nowadays. MasterCard themselves do nothing but digital transactions.

Most of Java is free software, under the terms of the GNU GPL, and Android Java is also open-source, so how can Google infringe any copyright?
Well, Android Java is not released under the GPL, but rather the incompatible Apache 2.0 license.
For every website where users can upload data, it needs to be distributed.
Slashdot, Github, Google*, all the forums, large and small, you name it.
They're all controlled by relatively few people, and subject to censorship, hardware failure and human madness.
Upside of the centralized system is (usually) fast speeds and comparatively easy maintenance and development.
The result of data localization for most consumers would be a slower Internet experience

You can't "steal" intellectual "property".
They already made DOA: Dead or Alive . More spiritual licensees include Dwarf Fortress: The Movie and FTL: The Series .
I think the Gimp is sleeping...

The answer to "why ain't it realistic?" is: Rule of Cool.
We already knew Lightning Can Do Anything. :)
Have they not seen "I, Robot" (2004)? Of course you need a manual override.
Deleted pages are in fact archived, but so that only Administrators can read them.
So Digia doesn't mind if vendors "deny users the right to modify Qt or write their own applications," as long as those vendors pay Digia their tithe.
The data is copied, not "stolen". Get it right!
