My bad, I was just trying to contriubute to the linux code base securely.

a plasma torch is nice to have when the rails are just a little too long

Oh those guys at the supreme court are hilarious, what a great April fools joke. Wait, today is April 3... I am sure that they really meant this ruling was to be a handed out on April 1, but justices have been known to be horrible with time. God I hope this is just a late April fools joke.

I guess lightsquared didn't get their way in the US so they are moving shop to the UK, good luck UK

I recommend a networked storage appliance which can backup to the cloud and has file system and file level integrity checking. Something based on zfs would be ideal. I use a storage nas from Great Lakes SAN (http://glsan.com). This little nas is dynamically expandable, fast, backups with filesystem snapshots and removes manual intervention from having to keep track of hard drives by sending copies of your data to the cloud.

This solution scales up nicely too. We use it in our research unit where our storage needs are doubling every 18months. Our current usage is around 20TB

I have used this service and it's great. It's based on zfs. The direct access to backups via smb is great and the home NAS performance/functionality/feature set is what I would expect to find with an enterprise class system.

I use the service provided by Great Lakes SAN (http://glsan.com). It's a cool service that provides an on-site NAS and sends backups to the cloud to keep for DR purposes.
