Virgin Pi - Things Jeff Levy got wrong
http://home.earthlink.net/~duneboy79/tjlgw.html


I dunno who Jeff Levy is, BUT that website advocates data storage on the
moon.... why would you want to do this other than to throw away data that is
never to be used again and you don't want it falling into the wrong hands?
Any use for the data other than this is ridiculous. First time you have a
hardware failure or crash and have to send out the repair crew... and even
then it's perfectly easy to destroy data here without the costs of going to
the moon. Smash a hard drive, put it in a fire, etc.

On ctrl+alt+del being a no no for windows as the "last resort for windows" I
don't know, but I know ctr alt del is hardware related, not something that
comes with windows. I can ctrl alt del with no hdd in the system. I don't
think it's a big deal, if you have file corruption then it would probably be
from resetting while a file is being read.

Caveat is that your website?

Like I say dunno who Jeff Levy is, but it's funny some of the stuff I read
there. Alot of the statements he supposedly made were pretty bad and were
corrected by the website.

If you're talking about data storage on the moon of course it's nonsense.
