Paranoid much? S3 is pretty secure. If someone gets access to my S3 account they'll find lots of pictures of my kids, some documents and that's about it.

Nightly diffs to tape, a weekly or monthly full backup (to be honest, it's whenever I get around to it) and then the really important stuff (purchased music, pictures of the kids / family, personal documents, etc) all get sent up to S3 to a private bucket.

Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 344
An anonymous reader writes "A Dallas newspaper is claiming that the long-in-development title Duke Nukem Forever is headed for retail release in late 2008. Unfortunately, game creator 3D Realms says that's not exactly what they meant. 'What the modest Texas newspaper actually seems to suggest is that 3D Realms is "on target" to release the mythical sequel sometime this year, though company president Scott Miller adds, "we may miss the mark by a month or two" (wink, wink). Miller also hinted that "hitting the big three" (in this case, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3) is the obvious development strategy, but he continued to stress that 3D Realms has not "formally announced any platforms for DNF."'"
