Database Backup Size Trend...

I'm not too worried about getting hacked, either.  That's not a challenge, by the way.

Damn!

I don't have any plans to, but that's not the kind of thing you plan

I think the last thing that you should worry about for dying would be maintaining the forums. I don't know about the others, but I have every active, posting x86 member on my buddy list right now (even those I don't talk to). Newby's hosted several servers before, and has fast enough internet to do it, and we could easily get the word around. But yeah, whatever.

It's not necessarily about dying.  There can be a major flood here (my city is built on a major flood plain) which could render my internet dead for an undetermined amount of time.  There can be war, famine, pestilance, death, or poison monkeys.  You never know.

It's always good to have a backup plan.

Canada?  War?  WTF?

[iago]

It's happened.  We beat you, remember?

The War of 1812 was fought between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and its colonies in British North America (see Upper Canada and Lower Canada) from 1812 to 1815 on land and sea. The Americans had hoped for a quick win as Britain was at war with France under Napoleon. Despite several notable successes by US frigates and the menace of American privateers to British trade, the Royal Navy established a strict blockade of American trade causing economic hardship; on land the US invasion of Canada was swiftly repulsed and British forces counterattacked across the border, burning Washington and occupying the territories that would later become the state of Maine, but unsuccessfully attacking some well defended major cities. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring North America to status quo ante bellum.

Having destroyed Washington's public buildings, including the White House and the Treasury, the British army next moved to capture Baltimore, a busy port and a key base for American privateers.

We occupied your territory and burnt down your white house.. we so kicked your ass

We occupied your territory and burnt down your white house.. we so kicked your ass

I'm pretty sure we won the War of 1812.  As I recall, the war was officially over, and so when a ship full of elite British marines hit the port at Baton Rouge and had no way of knowing that we'd reached a treaty, and so we kicked their asses even two weeks after the war (led by Andrew Jackson no less).

By the way, the house wasn't the White House *before* the War or 1812.  It got that name because we whitewashed it *after* it was burned.  So you didn't kick our ass - you contributed to our elitist culture!

buuuuurn

But yea, we definately won the war of 1812.  Canada != Britain and its Colonies.

[iago]

Canada != Britain and its Colonies.

Uh, what?

In 1812, Upper Canada and Lower Canada were British colonies.

That doesn't mean you won, and that sounds like the "America has never lost a war" elitist attitude.

*cough*vietnamkorea*/cough*

Anyway, Canada had one war.  200 years ago.  We've been kicking ass since birth.

Canada as a country is not the same as Upper and Lower Canada as British Colonies.  If we were at war with a colony of Britain, we were at war with Britain...they called the shots, not the provincial government.

I didn't know the war of 1812 was caused by database backup trends.
