While this is a good point, concerted efforts against GoDaddy isn't a bad thing. The only way corporations will feel anything is if the entire Internet focuses on them -- we need to focus on one thing at a time and not spread ourselves across too many targets.
The problem is the internet has a very short attention span. I would be very surprised if a solid boycott against another SOPA supporting company happened.
You can't justify one wrong by saying the average human does something worse. The average human is a vicious, barbaric monster. Both killing wild animals and eating animals from factory farms is wrong.
You dawg I heard you like relying on the cloud for backup, so I backed up your cloud data on the cloud so you can rely on the cloud while you rely on the cloud.
Your comment is amusing, but there's merit to diversifying your cloud storage. I.e. if I lose access to gmail, I still have my dropbox stuff. Storing offline is another way to diversify, but it's subject to a lot of other vulnerabilities.
I think Greplin could provide this service fairly easily (since they are already indexing all of your data from other services for you and perhaps have access to your DropBox account.) Just using Greplin today as-is they could be a good cloud-based "backup" of a lot of your cloud-based data, so long as they do not automatically wipe out older data to match what is on the individual services.
Another service that could be really helpful for this problem would be one that would just automatically burn your DropBox account (which ideally had copies of your other cloud-based data) onto DVDs and send them to some location at some interval for automatic cloud-based offline backup. Not sure if you can automate the mailing part, though, and I would worry a little about ensuring that people get the right data.
Sure it does. No true scotsman breaks down to a claim that some group has some Trait, then claiming that because some individual does not share the Trait they are by definition out of the group. I guess sometimes it's valid, but not here. Anon hasn't shown itself capable of an attack like this and if you look at the attacks by anon on scientology you'll be left wondering they were able to form a group identitiy with their fringe (core?) As it is.
Palish might be right that this doesn't sound like its from any of the main group.
