Did you miss the Portuguese default?

I run a weekly cron job that calculates md5sums for all the files on the media drive. Then it compares it to the previous weeks and emails the diff. If anything goes wrong I restore the file from one of my backups and check the MD5 again. I did have one drive that was slowly losing data. Turned out to be a dodgy sata port/cable but I've not lost a file yet.

Maybe that's because you aren't as smart as the creator. Not saying that's the case but if I can't figure out why someone is doing something it's usually because I don't know as much as they do. I don't just assume it's because they're crazy.

Seriously guys, he's a philosopher. I'm surprised no-one here has pointed out that it's the Helium that is keeping the moon floating way up there. Take the Helium away and it will sink back down to earth and we do not want that to happen. You think global warming is bad, just imagine how bad it would be with the Moon orbiting at 10000m. I guess we could try to time it so it touches down in the Sahara but if it overshoots it's goodbye Panama.

Agreed. It doesn't matter where the material get put together, the value added is reflected in the fact it is a US corporation and the value added is subject to US taxes.

Oh, wait...

You should run an ssh tunnel through the corporate proxy to your own installation of an apache proxy running on your home server. Then use that as your proxy for firefox. At least then you'll be spared the embarrassment of a SWAT team turning up at work.

Shove the taskbar to the side and stretch it out to 128 pixels wide. You can easily get 40 quick launch icons on the taskbar and you can add a toolbar folder and have launchers for all your favourite docs right there.

Agreed. I find burning a faggot* best and quite safe with the modern faggot burners that became available around the time of the Jubilee. There were thousands of faggots burnt that night on all the hilltops around England.

* Bundle of dried sticks and twigs.

That's actually amazing. One satellite and your device can tell how far away it is.

Not sure how I managed to piss you off but I was just pointing out that the police cannot stop this situation. Nor can the UK government without being accused of political interference in judicial/police operations. The only people who can get Mr Assange out of the embassy are the Swedes, the Equadorians and Mr Assange. Of course, once he's out of the embassy he will be arrested by the UK police and charged with jumping bail (and he won't be getting bailed again). After that who knows. Time is not on his side, governments don't die of old age and there is no statute of limitations in the UK.

Well since most, if not all, of the taxpayers money is going in to the wage slips of the police guarding him it's not really a waste. It's not great but at least the money isn't going to some corporate tax haven.

The police cannot just let him go, there's an extradition request from Sweden, and those things are taken seriously mostly because of the quid pro quo.

Now imagine the bandwidth.
