You'll die first. People have been proposing such a system for aircraft for a very long time due to the dangers inherent in letting people operate such missiles. Even after 9/11, no such system has been implemented. Sometimes I think Asimov managed to scare everyone away from AI just a little too well. Skynet didn't help things either.
Then use Mozy and add an encryption key. Face it, the NSA has better things to look at then whatever is squirreled away on your hard drive. They'll use the supercomputing crackers on those things first, and your porn collection later.
For more fun, encrypt it beforehand as well, use steganography, AND
Just write something. Seriously. Or get permission after writing some bit of good but non-specific code for a company to be able to include a scrubbed version of it for such purposes in the far future.
Except that it is solved by MD5 checksums as noted by several people. A sophisticated attack of this nature would require being added as a mirror, accepted by your target as being genuine, and then taking on the provider of the checksum to provide a false one.
Of course, someone might take the time to develop a package with the same checksum as the actual file I suppose, but it has been so long since I've read up on encryption that I don't know how feasable this is. Anyone else? I'm fairly certain that by the time you get the package developed now, a new version will be released, killing all that time and effort.
Rather than going through all that effort, I'd just take an assault team to the datacenter and take what I need by physical means. A few chainsaws, some C4 (or close equivalent thereof courtesy of roguesci&company) , and a few Walther PPKs handed out so we can feel like James Bond while going in, and call it good.
If someone is truly determined to take on your company and steal data, they will. The trick is to mitigate all the easy to use venues of attack. As you start to protect against more and more esoteric attacks that require the subversion of a good amount of external access sites, the usability of your systems will decrease.
Can't find one that does everything you want, start a business providing it. No demand for your business? Well gee, I guess no one really wanted to see that picture.
My Adelphia (now TWC) has in the terms of use that I could not sign up for any service with fictitious names. I forgot if TWC/roadrunner has that in its TOS as well.
The internet populace is obviously filled with felons. Better arrest us all!
If I recall correctly, thinkgeek has a UV light they sell that will do the trick. Using it is also more cool than using the sun, in more ways than one.
"Plus, growing up in Oregon, I have an ingrained hatred towards anything California."
Hell, I grew up in California, and I have an ingrained hatred towards anything California. When I moved, I got an AR-15 with an engraved lower assembly, replacing the safety with "California" and Full Auto with "Hammer Time"!
P.S. Dear BATFE/Echelon/FBI/NSA,
Full auto capability does not exist on my rifle. Should I choose to enable it I will follow NFA guidelines. Thank you for your concern.
>Maybe I'm missing something, but please clarify exactly how owning an M16 or something will be of any use when the stormtroopers come to knock down your door. Your house is probably already surrounded by that point. You might take a couple of them with you in that event, but eventually, you're hopelessly outgunned.
Remember the ring trick.
Also, you can buy ballistic armor, gas masks, and high powered rifles so that anyone who thinks about going in first will probably think twice and wonder if it is really worth dying for to go arrest a person defending his rights.
Of course, the smart people will be waiting outside the house with said high powered rifle as their door is getting kicked in.
>So the point remains, what the hell's the point of stockpiling guns against the government?
Because we won't use the guns against the army. We'll use them against the politicians. Besides, expect mass desrtions with hardware back to states if civil war happens.

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
I'll leave you to your pot, you leave me to my Gin an evil black rifles.
Also, just ignore the guy with the bomb vest. He kinda has a short fuse, if you know what I mean...
Ban them as soon as they go from constructive to troll. Ban by IP address, ID, email, etc.

It can also run starships.

Backup your files? Now that's just silly.
Obviously the solution is to make porn free so that this is no longer an incentive. Obviously also this means that the government should subsidize it.

Pah. We upgraded to those centuries ago. What are you using, Duotronic systems? Come on man. Get with the future times.

So don't let people have physical access to your computer. Or invest in a thermite/C4 charge inside your computer. Or both.
You fail at MD5 checksums. You download the file from the mirror, and use the checksum from the main website.
Also, as much fun as MGS and spy thriller novels and movies are, the thoughts I posted on the datacenter break-in plan was based on actual events.

Wait, what?
No. H&K hates civilians. Beretta and SIG on the other hand have much better shots for product placement.

Correction. It isn't the republicans or democrats, it's the politicians in general.

Also, if you have a concealed weapons permit you get to bypass the NICS check.

Goddam. I really wish you guys would actually put that stuff on signs or something for your consumers to read.
Now I have to scrounge up the 600 hangers I have lying around from dry cleaning over the years and drop them off at my local cleaners. BRB.
No, they will use the internet being deactivated as a threat. Suddenly, nerds everywhere capitulate to the demands of the AI.
I thought we already had transparent aluminum? Hell, even Scotty used it to save the future way back when!
