I'd also like to see a driver rating floating above each car on a heads up display through my windscreen. One star?! Stay the hell away from that guy!

Pretty simple solution is to get a NAS like the Synology box (http://www.synology.com) and then set up some sort of offsite backup as well. Just remember that pictures are really not a replaceable sort of thing. If I lost pictures of my kids or of places I've been there is no way I could ever re-create them. If I lose my resume, or my tax forms, or even my music collection, who cares? Pictures of my kids standing for the first time? I'll pay some extra money to have multiple copies in multiple locations. This is not the place to skimp.

Buy whatever the hell you want and just break the camera with an awl or open it up and remove it completely. Easy peasy.

This really is *NOT* a good example... estimates from 2008 put the world population at 6,706,993,152 .1% of that is 6,706,993

If almost 7 million people in the world are going on a shooting spree then I'm getting that cabin in the woods I've always wanted. Next time go for like 5 or 6 nines.

Okay...I guess for those people we need to add:

4) Beat mercilessly with a pipe

The problem with spam isn't that people send out 35 billion emails... it is that SOMEONE out there is clicking on it. They just need one person out there to respond and they have made money...

The correct solution to this spam problem is to keep these places up. Find out who it was that actually responded and either
1) Go educate them about what they're doing
2) Show them how to shop on their own for hair growth and penis enlargement
3) Take away their internet connection

If they weren't making any money, they wouldn't be doing it.

It is like prostitution... Prostitution doesn't exist for the sake of existing. It exists because people will pay for sex. If everyone, everywhere stopped visiting prostitutes then there wouldn't be prostitutes for very much longer. They would have to get other jobs to survive.
