Well , you could hire webspace to store the files. A good contract would ensure regular backups and redundancy . That way , you don't have to worry about it , but it's probably the most expensive option. And off course , in 20 years , that company might go bankrupt , leaving you with nothing
Best thing to do is to put it on something general that doesn't expire quickly . For instance , a flash disk ( for 100 GB could be a problem ) . Technology doesn't disappear that quickly, just keep it in mind . I think you are save with changing media every 10 years . Just do regular checks
That's normal . The whois information of your ip adress doesn't contain your adress , but it likely contains the adress of your ISP headquarters , or some datacenter .
So in other words , your ISP is 25 miles away .
It's probably the same case here : the ISP datacenter might be located in Canada for reason , and so the whois information shows that .
There's no way to fix it , unless you get your ISP to move . Or maybe you could just get another ISP.
you must live in an alternate reality where the republican party stands for saner government and a balanced budget.
what's the price of gas over there? And you must live in an alternate reality where Democrats understand that the laws of supply and demand regulate gas prices and allow for increased production in addition to increased efficiency to bring the cost of oil down.
In the real world that I live in, I've heard Republicans screaming for increased domestic production and Democrats screaming, "NO!" Well , i'll tell you this . It doesn't matter whether it's democrat or republican . The result for the American people matters . So make a choice based on what changes you want , rather than on something as relative as a political position.
At least you have the ability to vote for it. I don't live in the US , so i can't vote for it. Yet the consequences are for the entire world.
You mean Mac. A MAC is a number to show what type of network card ID you have, the other is a computer whose users do not have to deal with the whack-a-mole battle with malware that the Windows users have to deal with on a day to day basis. Fixed that for you .
Well , i guess they don't put you in an orange suit.They will probably just shoot you or make you disappear.
No , really , the US might be bad on some things , but there are a lot worse countries out there . I can understand you speaking out against the US , but that doesn't give you the right to minimize the abuse in other countries.
Do you mind sourcing that? The closest I'm able to find is that "74% would prevent public school students from wearing a T-shirt with a slogan that might offend others." Source I've no doubt that many people have very different views than me on what the first amendment guarantees, but I honestly doubt your figure, particularly considering the other data on the same site.
Yep, there's a big difference between disagreeing with the First Amendment, and believing certain clothes shouldn't be allowed in public schools attended by minors. If you want to wear an offensive t-shirt, you can do it all you want at home, or walking on public streets or public parks etc. Public schools aren't free-speech zones. The attendees are minors, and don't have the same rights and privileges as adults. They can't decide not to go to class, or to sit outside class with signs and protest. If they don't have the right to even decide if they want to go or not, they certainly don't have any inherent rights to wear offensive t-shirts, or say offensive things (such as in the middle of class when the teacher is talking). Even public university students don't have that right. Well , one can always what he/she wants . But there's likely to be consequences in any situation (minor or adult ) .
Unfortunately, since the network is designed that you can't host one without hosting the other, neither is a particularly advisable thing to have on your network, no matter where you live. Actually , that's incorrect : On freenet , you host what you viewed . So if you only visit free tibet pages , that will be the only thing you have to worry about ( if you happen to live in China) .
Many bad thing may be going on around there , but there's no need to spread FUD . In fact , that's exactly what caused this to happen in the fist place :
The system freenet uses ensures that the content is hosted by popularity . So if a lot of good people put their legal stuff on it , the illegal stuff would simply be crushed . But because of the FUD , it actually attracts bad people , while repelling good people , thus creating a self fulfilling prophecy .
The problem actually comes down to this : The are 2 ways to regard spread of information
Either it should be possible to stop the spread of certain information , and that will put a stop to the abuses , but it will also make it possible for an authoritarian regime to silence any criticism , and will basically stop freedom of speech .
The other way is to make it impossible to stop information from spreading , and that way you wil ensure freedom of speech , and anonymity to whistle blowers and criticism , but at the same time , abuses will be unstoppable .
There is no midway to this , as it's about technical capabilities .
I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion here, but two of the big downsides of open source software to me are the lack of documentation and the lack of quality control. Sure, OSS has THEORETICAL quality control (because anyone can review it), but how often does that REALLY happen? If someone slipped in a virus into some OSS program (especially easy if they distribute it as a binary), how long, if ever, would it be before anyone caught it?
I'm not saying commercial software is perfect in that regard (there have been cases of commerically distributed software containing malware too), but at least there is generally some level of quality control there.
actually , that is incorrect . The entire nature of open source forces it to make sure peer review is enforced , because of the danger .
In closed source this can happen just as easily , but the control will be more relaxed because they think it will be safer.
Just look up AES , and you will know it is possible
And , given the nature the net works , blocking encrypted data on one backbone , will just make at pass trough an other backbone to reach it's destination.
Plus , even if it would work , it wouldn't help them , since people would start to use other methods to get things done .
Another thing i am thinking about : I'm sure it's easy to detect unencrypted traffic , as one can just apply a filter on it .
Encrypted traffic however , can be hard to identify .
Imagine sending an encrypted file . It will be binary , just like any other file . So it won't be possible to know the file is encrypted .
One could also send a regular looking file ( like an image ) , wich would obviously never be blocked.
Hate to break it to you , but that won't help you much.
PG2 only prevents their clients from sending and receiving data , but they can still see your ip.
So they can still go after you , but they won't have proof that you downloaded/uploaded something , since no data was sent ( i guess it depends on interpretation of the law ).
If you really want to be safe , use a darknet or a private tracker
Actually , the linux desktop is doing quite nice on some distro's .
If you take the most recent Ubuntu for example , you can easily the advancements they made , compared a few years ago. Properietary drivers are easier to install on linux than on windows , at the moment .
But as always , linux isn't windows . So if by 'the perfect linux desktop' you expect a perfect windows clone , that's just not going to happen .

In other news , French telco's are going broke , as apparently , most of their high bandwidth users where pirates .
It won't stick . Can i use your ducktape ?

Depends on how time critical it is .
It's not that difficult to go hard realtime , you just need the right adaptions to the kernel .
Look up RTAI if you are interested.

Something , i think China is doing it intentionally , to show the world how powerful they are.
Fear is their ultimate tool , both in internal and foreign policies .
So an EMP will not only fry electronics , it will also shut people up ?
not if you ground the tinfoil , like you should we every faraday cage .
Make sure your ground it with a wire of less then 30 ohm
Well , i guess they don't put you in an orange suit.They will probably just shoot you or make you disappear.

i don't need your password . I'll just chroot into your system and change your pass .
still , the sentence is not grammatically incorrect.
It could be that some network specialists love the MAC address , and are therefor MAC fan boys .

You do realize that :
Ubuntu is free , and spreading it is encouraged by the authors
The main reason Ubuntu uses torrents is to cut a bit of the bandwith costs . So in a way , downloading it via torrents , helps them cut costs.
You were not funny because it's hard to believe anyone on slashdot wouldn't be knowing the above .
So you must be joking
