The interesting thing though, is that my server's disk utilization is pure zero! Looks like utorrent or the kernel has cached the whole image and serves it...
Around 1828, after Greece revolted and got independent from Turkish enslavement, Greece's new governor Ioannis Kapodistrias, in order to feed the people, introduced the potato to Greece and large shipments of potatoes were distributed to the people for free. Nobody even bothered to taste it. Kapodistrias was smart: He gathered back all the potato quantities and locked in large containers, and also put armed guardians to 'guard' it, as if it was something extremely valuable. Quickly, interest was sparked among the Greeks, and soon they started looting the containers (under the guards eyes (who they were told to overlook)) in order to eat the forbidden fruit...
The moral: If you want linux to spread, lock it, and also distribute the necessary cracks. But there is also a more subtle moral: Do you really want this kind of stupid people for linux users?
Why SATA and eSATA and IDE and USB, FireWire and DVI and and and??... If everything just used a simple, yet as it has been proven efficient protocol like Ethernet, then our lives would be much easier. Oh, and Ethernet also has Power Over Ethernet for the hungry devices. I wait for the day when I will plug an RJ-45 jack into my hard drive (which will not be a hard-drive, but an SSD).
It has been proved, several times through the history of mankind that stupidity cannot be hit. Better waste resources to beat the second thermodynamics law...
I hold the patent for 'An effective way of bonding atoms using strong nuclear force'. You pay me, or I'll bring this to court and tear the cosmos apart!
I totally disagree about the quality of Skype! I mean OK, it is indeed subjective, but I find Skype call quality about 80 to 90% of the quality of a fixed landline, which is more than I would expect, even with shitty internet lines...
This kind of 'Bible says' opinions would be a minority (and we would be living in a better world) if it was not the people who have them who always have many children...
And that's exactly to be attributed to Bible's self-preservation, which wisely states 'Thou shalt not use condoms'!
So, at the age of 9, I don't how I came to the idea, but I destroyed a pair of my grandfather's headphones, in order to connect them to two coils that I had built using copper wire of an (also destroyed) AC/DC transformer. I put a rod of metal in each one of the coals, had the rods at a distance of about 4cm, then connected the headphone jack which was connected to the first coil into the radio, and put on the headphones which were connected to the other coil. And... there was music transmitted over air!
Since then I have also built a couple of much more ehm... innovative things, but never have I felt so cool as that afternoon...
Information which one cannot do without should always have a twin brother somewhere. You say 'I still wouldn't store this kind of info on my laptop if possible' but why would you store this info on your desktop which has a disk that can die at any moment? When your laptop gets stolen, two different things happen: 1. You lose the information which was stored there in case you did not keep backups elsewhere, 2. the bad guys get this information, in case it was not encrypted. Two completely different things, and this topic is for the second...
That was a very tackful way to put it!
I bet that we only have a very unsafe planet because we MADE a very unsafe planet!
But there is always the violence of the nature with its unstoppable force, to calm down the arrogance of the human race, to remind us of who's the guest and who's the owner in this world...

Ever go to a coffee shop in a university town? It sucks. Students claim every table, and spread out their laptops, papers, books, backpacks etc. Then they sit there for hours nursing one drink.
Then you can still offer free WiFi but in another model: Using a unique code on the drink/whatever receipt, the customers can surf the internet for so and so time. Then its over. Either go, either buy another drink! Voila!

Anybody home? More and more p2p apps are including encrypted p2p sessions at the application layer. Did anybody think about that?

I use BartPE to boot diskless windows, and Ghost the whole laptop's disk to an external USB disk.
hmmmm, I have found an interesting proof for that, but this web page is very small to fit it...
