We already have technical people seeking to donate time.

Sounds like a group of people who might have some insight into the problem.

We would need help with various technologies including at least Powershell and We would need help with various technologies including at least Powershell and SQL.SQL.

What does this mean? You need help with Powershell from your project host? Good luck with that.

I've often wondered how the symbiotic relationship between the NFL and the US military developed.

The military seems to be incorporated into the spectacle of every NFL game (playoffs only?), and broadcasts incorporate nationalist and militarist messages at several points throughout the games.

It's clear that the two feed off eachother now, and it is no surprise that the sport is being fed back into the armed forces to reinforce the message.

Perhaps they do some hashing of the file on the client before uploading and then search for a match to avoid uploading and storing the same data? Would this be a security issue though?

Hashing the files before you encrypt them would give you ... the hash of the unencrypted files. How is that going to help store two encrypted files?

This weird criminal somehow has 50 GB * 1,000,000 = 47.6 petabytes of enterprise storage? Without getting one dollar? How is this paid for? Not to mention all the data traffic back and forth which will be even more expensive?

1. Not every user is using 50gb.
2. He has lots of money.
3. He is investing in a new enterprise and knows that he has to spend money first in order to make money in the future.

I assumed all that was fairly obvious. What's your theory, by the way?

The original Muslims were conquered by the Mongols and the Turks who later converted to Islam and took on their customs. A lot of the Turkish people were Jewish at the time they conquered the arabs.

There were Jewish and, especially, Christian Turks (or rather Turkic peoples)*, but those that conquered the Arabs were long Muslim.

* And there are still plenty today.

You know must of us English speakers, both in the USA and else were would have written "So Much of Australia is on Fire" for a headline. "Australia Is On So Much Fire" Sounds like George Lucas is posting now.
