Yes, thank you for noticing.

[sigh] Yes, but any helicopter that crashes from ABOVE 35 feet must also travel THROUGH 35 feet, thus a 35-foot test elevation should substitute for most helicopter crashes. One could certainly argue that a 5-foot test would effectively sample more scenarios than a 35-foot test, so perhaps they should test based upon that height instead. When will science learn that if you just use the right logic no one has to die.

This guy is also campaigning FOR legalized gambling "because it's the Christian thing to do..." It would all be so very much nicer if we had better elected officials.

I've set up something similar to this. You almost certainly don't need to transfer ALL of the 4gb every month - you just need to update a copy in the corporate office with all of the changes from the locations. Rsync is the answer. It figures out what's changed and only transfers the changed stuff, which is typically a trivial amount. Rsync is a brilliant piece of work. it's made for exactly the sort of thing you're trying to do. It will work so well you'll think there's some kind of quantum voodoo going on. Also, check out rdiff-backup. There's a version for windows and you can rsync easily between windows and *nix. If security is an issue (and it sounds as if it isn't) you can rsync over ssh, too.
