You could tar up your backup files. Download a bunch of porn, maybe of Debbie Reynolds, America's sweetheart. Use tools like these: http://www.jjtc.com/Security/stegtools.htm to distribute your backup files throughout the porn. Visit a po

Long before there was dropbox, I used to claim my backup solution was to use steganography and place my data inside porn pictures that I would upload. Then I could just use google to find my backups distributed all across the net. You might

It's not that statistically coal and natural gas are less dangerous, it's more how the disaster distribution works out. Coal and natural gas may have a constant payout that remains relatively low, rare, and random, perhaps a uniform distrib

It's not so much the midnight wakeup and the rush to accomplish some necessary goal. In the right circumstances, that's actually kind of neat. But we do have to understand, these employees live their lives in company dormitories , and for

That is a terrific video, but the accompanying soundtrack and all the shh shh of the images sliding in, wow, horrible. Good content "ruined" by someone getting excited with the canned sound buttons.

"Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret ! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?" I tend to agree with the subby. Shadowbanning, slowbanning, hellbanning are petty, vicious, and pa
