I would recommend you look at crash plan:
http://www.crashplan.com/
It works great for me, I use their hosted service, although you could use crash plan to backup to a friends computer as well as their hosted service.
Also if you start now it wont take you three weeks to backup your collection like it did mine (200gb)!
I also use TimeMachine for local backups, that has also worked great for me.
I used to use Mozy but switched when they changed their price plans.
Steampunk Con Mixes In More Maker Fun 50
California has once again been blessed with another steampunk convention, this time to be held in Emeryville, CA on March 12-14 as the "Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition." This year's event promises to mix in much more of the DIY/maker flavor for a greater hands-on feel. Steampunk has been gaining much broader appeal in recent months with the continued growth of maker communities, and the many delightful varieties of music and literature. The con will feature, among other things, a 2 day track of 2-hour how-to, hands-on, and interactive workshops gear towards makers, DIY-ers, mad scientists, and evil geniuses. Of course, if you are an evil genius you probably don't need a workshop except as a gathering for potential test subjects.
Comment Jagex are based in the UK, can they still be sued? (Score 1) 232
I suppose the real question is not if they can be sued, because of course anyone can sue anyone, it's whether or not they would have a case to answer, specifically because software patents are not valid in the UK. I understand that there are some minor exceptions to this rule, however I don't believe this patent falls under any of them. This will be very interesting.

Funny how this story follows the one about the UK governments commitment to provide 2mb broadband to the whole of the country.
