Tunneling it through SSH would slow things down horribly. Hence why I mentioned using yyyrsa. In my experiments, running crypto across a file before transmission saves a few minutes as apposed to trying to do it on the fly.
Another advantage is everything is encrypted localy with a public key before it crosses the wire. Private key (for restores) can be kept in a safe place, and even printed out and kept in the companies safe deposit box.
I think a better option would be to roll your own.
Standard PC components are insanely cheap these days. Get a 4U box, chuck it full of lots of IDE drives, an IDE RAID controller or two, and Linux. Then toss samba + tar + bzip2 + yyyrsa + rsync on a local box.
Said 4U could be located at a remote office (if you have one), or possibly find another business who would be willing to swap remote storage devices with you. If all else fails, you can get colo for $50/mbps + space.
Take that $1500 per employee, give them a $500 or so christmas bonus, then save the rest for further bonuses.
One thing I really like about my employer is we get a christmas bonus, a back to school bonus, a summer bonus, etc. They are all in the couple hundred dollar range, but they alwas seem to come at the right times, and everyone appricates it.
Anything else you think you could quote from the army-of-clueless-linux-zealots handbook?
They are giving you something free. Sure, there are some strings attached, but no one but you should be seeing the watermark anyway. Blender is good for personal stuff, but it dosen't hold a candle to the stuff that commerical apps can do. If it could, movie studios would jump on it, because free software would lower costs.
The best part is when you find out the person your so compatable with and ultimately destined to live your life with is someone of the same sex pretending to be someone they are not.
It's good to see more single player content for FPS games. I think too much of it was lost on the multi-player hype. For someone who honestly sucks at multiplayer games but fairs pretty well aginst computer players, I hope the recent source leak at Valve pushes them a bit more to realize that single-player content could build them a solid game of the year title even if the multiplayer aspect gets hacked to bits.
Most of the popular spmware (SendSafe, SuperMailer, etc) packages just choose an MX randomly. Or to be exact, the FIRST MX returned by your DNS server.
Remember, DNS servers return multiple records for the same record in a random order, regardless of prefrence or anything else.
Hence you need to hack your DNS servers to return your spam-filtered primary at the top of the list.
Dosen't Javas licence agreement specificly forbid its use in nuclear power plants, dams, weapon control systems, etc.?
I can't find good linkage to the discussion I remember, but heres something close: The Java2 Plugin licence (http://java.sun.com/getjava/license.html) states "You acknowledge that Software is not designed, licensed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility.".
If its just web, take a look at lbnamed, a load balancing name server. They use it at Stanford with some sucess to redirect new connections to the machine with the lowst load (based on system load and users logged in).

They come out with the meraculous feature of installing software in one click. No, not one click in the installer... one click in your web browser and the RPM of your choice is downloaded and installed automagicly. Does that scare the hell out of anyone else?
Great. Now it will be so much simpler to rootkit the machines on demo at Wal-Mart. \
A while back I caught an interesting titbit on personal submarines. Discovery, TLC, or one of thoes. Only reason I paid any notice to it was this: The manufacturer of the devices was boasting Steve Ballmer as one of their prominent clients.
Makes sense given Microsoft employees houses monopolize most of the puget sound anyways.
Basicly just a game thats tied into a museum. "Beaming Stations" have been around for quite a while now and are quite popular where the pointy haired bosses gather in large numbers. Something about trading business cards and product info... personaly I like the paperware and the cool bags vendors give you.
Anyway, back on track. Has anyone built a "Beaming Station", and posted info on how?
We currently have 2 server rooms, one here in MIS, the other in another building. The second room can't be locked(!) due to pointy hair policy and sticking useless crap in there. At some point a user slipped a line printer in there to cut down on noise in their office and the room has been left unlocked ever since.
My recommendations would be: 1. NEVER EVER EVER EVER let lusers into your server room. Put decapitated heads on bamboo sticks all around your server room. I almost killed someone when I came in one morning, and realized someone had manualy ctrl+alt+del'ed our timeclock server because their PC couldn't access it and they assumed it was a server problem.
2. Replace the door handle on the door with a deadbolt. Nothing says go away more than no handle, and its fairly easy to just turn the key and push.
3. Use racks. If your room is already going to be temp controled, and its locked up tight, cabinets aren't needed. Plus if venting fans on one of your cabniets dies, it turns it into a big thick metal blanket for your servers.

I beg to differ.

Could someone explain exactly what airfoil data is? I can conjure up some ideas, but IANAE.
Water Joe files suit aginst Norway for infringement.
They can't find originals? That means their games are... pirated.
Now we know the real reason as to why we invaded them. Weapons of mass Infringement. Maybe the MPAA, RIAA, and BSA can help foot the bill too.

Does sounds way too expensive to be practical. But other than that quite impressive.
God your stupid.

I just don't see a price difffrence of $10 bringing them too many customers.
Does this have any additional features over Nintendo's offering?
Does this scare the hell out of anyone else?
Just make sure you check KungfubotUpdate.com once a week and unplug any robots you may already have running rouge around the neghborhood!

Lets assume for a second that due to source leaks and protocol compromises, a game becomes completely unplayable in the multiplayer sense.
Good quality single player content could still earn the acclaim of reviewers and players. Which in turn generates more sales, and a game of the year.
I just liked the days when you didn't need to play online to get the full enjoyment of a game.

I'm sure Google could give you the info you need. *sigh*

A load-blanenced beowulf cluster of thes.... wait a minute.
If its just web, take a look at lbnamed, a load balancing name server. They use it at Stanford with some sucess to redirect new connections to the machine with the lowst load (based on system load and users logged in).

just advertise on slashdot's comments page and piss off the same number of people!
