Comment Perhaps to clarify... (Score -1) 4

Perhaps to clarify, I'd like to get a few pointers on what tarballs to download and study. The Linux kernel? TVTime? Anything audited or written by the OpenBSD team? What is the most beautiful code out there, for a programmer's definition of "beautiful"?

With all the advances we've made now, with a doubling of the storage capacity every 18 months, why would we have to worry about what's going to happen to our data? Stop back-projecting our past and trying to make it the albatross of our future. Bits are cheap and plentiful and becoming ever more so. In fifteen years, people are going to carry today's internet around in their back pockets like we have emulators on our mobile phones. As long as mankind matters, they will keep our data. We will effectively live forever.

Since I'm Obama, I feel entitled to respond.

I think both of these are easy promises. Yes, there were no attacks on American soil, but at the cost of liberty and convenience. Call me a troll, but the terrorists sort of won there.
