I've been using Slicehost for a couple of months, backed by Rackspace Cloud Files instead of Amazon. As far as I'm concerned it the best thing since the Original Nintendo.

I have two PC's and a laptop at home and a work computer backing up to it, the resync occurs and night so I don't see any performance issues and its completely encrypted on the backed so I don't have to worry about someone browsing through my collection of unpublished poetry about water fowl.

If you haven't actually used one I suggest you check it out.

I don't post comments very often but I think I need to way in on this one. I agree that the planet is absolutely warming. Just like there are those who would deny evolution is a fact even though they can see it for their own eyes, you'll find plenty of people that say that the world isn't changing.

I use the word changing because every thing on this planet cycles, lakes expand and recede, populations of jack rabbits go up and down. The climate is the same way and that was made very clear by this year's hurricane activity. All through the historical record you find evidence of a 25 year pattern of hurricane activity in the US. The overall climate is much the same way but on a larger scale.

So we know that the world warms and cools. The real question here is are we causing this or is it just one of the natural cycles?
