That is bad. Protection against one disk failure, but now a multiple 
diskfailure.

With a common Source?

Not expensive

That can be a huge problem. Do you use geom raid5. You will need also a 
great processor for it.

And dedicated hardware raid is too expensive.

That is a safe way.

Not so important I think. People will have also local storage. So they can 
upload again to you.

Do you know how we work

We start with gathering ideas like with horizons. Before the horizons we 
know enough and we can start developing with two members. Protected to go 
into niches. One close to the problems. The other at more distance. For the 
greater view on it. Faster working than in another way.

User Modules making top down and working top down. Workmodules making 
bottom up and working also bottom up. And that doing with only friendly 
emailing. First the comment comes existence and often with ascii pictures 
for clarification. Later the statements are arriving

That are our ways. So in the beginning I can't show some code. We start at 
an earlier point.

The things beyond our viewable horizon are our dreams for next versions


We promote you as well.

We promote also a new ERA with already success in my country. Soon it will 
break through. Now it's stopped by people who are against us. But we are 
based on famous scientists and we have convincing papers on our sites and 
we promote vividly over the world.

Please stay reading your own newspapers. It wont last long anymore.

Please have success
