Why bother with other storage technologies that degrade overtime. You already have access to cheap (but slow... in this application that doesn't really matter) solid state storage that doesn't degrade. If your objective is to simply archive the content, buy as many SDXC cards as you need to archive your content, and when you go on shoots charge them for the cost of an extra sdxc card to archive the content on and throw it into your safe.
"unless something dramatic changes in factoring"
Something like using ATI and NVIDIA GPU's to accelerate factoring? something dramatic like that?

If you take the latest in CPU/Multi GPU configurations; and build around the idea of operating them for this purpose, i think RSA-1024 could be cracked in a similar amount of time. Far less than 10 or 5 years.
Their paper doesn't make any references at all to GPU accelerated factoring, it's not even on their radar.

R-studio as long a the drive spins it will work..., i've even been able to recover data from drives where were perpetually clicking (although not much, and the user didn't want to pay a data recovery service).... its works 99/100 times for me.. it can recover file names, directory names, etc.. unless the data has been overwritten...in which case it will only recover the part of the data which hasn't been overwritten yet... have retrieved deleted files that were several years old... cannot recommend it enough.
about a month ago i purchased a used router(not from ebay) from a cisco reseller...it came with the previous config still loaded on it..complete with passwords (encrypted at level 5...which can be cracked with javascript webforms at this point) and their vpn logins and passwords...not encrypted at all...this, was also for a bank...i reported it to the reseller, but i didn't get a news article written about me...how does that work?
Pretty much everything on this planet is susceptible to fire at some specific degree of heat. I'm sure tossing an SSD with whatever protective casing it ships with into a campfire or a fireplace would sufficiently melt, then destroy the flash chips housing your secrets.
I know 2 teachers... who graduated with me...and trust me, neither should be around children, much less teaching them... one has 5th graders, and is known for finding out the hardway that even if you consent to be hit by a 2x4 it's still illegal, and the the other is much worse...thankfully he's teaching special ed. Both immediatly asked for this game once i txt'd them about it. Is today's youth REALLIE that bad??
There's/There was, and online MUD called Purple Dragon. I played for 3 years, remorted 3 times, attained what's known as legendary status (went from level 1-60 three times). I was the founding member of the most popular guild at the time, EXTREMELY well liked and helpful on the MUD, and generally a heavy user of the MUD. My Handle was GodSlayer. For three years i used that nick, everyone knew me by it, it was on guild plaques of guilds i was no longer a part of but helped build their guild halls, etc... It would be accurate to say there was little in that MUD that didn't have a Little "Godslayer" Tag, award, achievement, etc.. somewhere. The SysOp sold the MUD to a right-wing bornagian christian couple, who required the deletion of all handles they believed to be agianst god.
Ryu, the SysOp at the time, gave me the opportunity to change my name to avoid this deletion... Those familiar with David Eddings know the origins of that handle, what it means, and how utterly ironic it is for christians to be denoucing that name when the "god" in the edding's books is a Devil God, and the title GodSlayer was bestowed upon belgarion after defeating this character...
regardless, BelGarion was already in use, BelGarath was in use, every other nick from the Eddings series was in use, i changed my name to something Similiar to BelGarion, and was forced to change it when that user complained. I finally settled on something obscure...
xaustinx, and my guild disbanded me and kicked me out, Ryu removed Godslayer from all equipment, plaques, etc.. in the game. and no1 would listen to me, my story, or even believe me. Ryu refused to tell anyone (even confirm my story to my guild) and ended every complaint i had with "it's just a game".
i agree it's just a game, and the only piece of individuality you get is YOUR NAME. You loose that, you don't exist.
Needless to say my character was deleted.

anyone else think that SBC CEO Edward Witacre sounds a lot like L. Bob Rife from Snow Crash?
