The media I copied from took up 28x 3.5" HD floppy disks. It's possible they were copied from what was originally a CD-ROM. I don't remember clearly anymore.

Note: I'm not trying to refute or correct your 13-disk figure, which was clearly a different installation set, and likely original Windows 95 rather than my OSR2, which came out around 1997.

Letting one's provider hold onto the private key doesn't provide the same level of security as the user being the only one with it, but it's a helluva lot better than not bothering with encryption at all.

Private keys can also be protected with a password, right? So the provider could have a copy of the private key but not the password to utilize it. The user would just have to never forget the password as opposed to never losing their private key to a hard drive failure or whatever.

The recipient could keep their private key secure so that only their client could decrypt the messages, and take the risk of losing access to those messages if they lose their private key.

Or they could let their provider hold onto a copy of the private key so they don't ever have to worry about losing it, with the trade-off that the provider could decrypt their e-mails.

But either option requires zero user interaction on the sender's or recipient's part past "login and send" or "login and receive", while limiting decryption to the recipient and maybe their provider.

If this is just a general suggestion that gets pushed out to all Windows computers, then it's not so much targeted as merely questionable use of platform.

Either file type can also be unzipped and have their contents inspected for anything suspicious.

Percussive Maintenance

Wouldn't that require that every field of every record in the database be globally unique?

If something as simple as gender is a field in the database, the best k you could get would be the lowest count of records of each existent gender option.

I (a layperson) don't really follow this. It sounds to me like "while the rules were in effect, they were rarely broken".

>an era when there were only 3 stations. But this situation is different.

Lots of station numbers, run by just a handful of owners:

Simply running alternate servers, distributing patches to the game, and using their launcher without copyrighted artwork or branding (maybe a "not endorsed by or associated with EA" sort of disclaimer) would seem to be fine.

It's reminiscent of the EverQuest server emulation community. They distribute patches and run open-source server infrastructure, but forbid distributing copies of the EQ game itself, pointing people to legitimate acquisition methods.

That feels more like the idea of universe-as-computer than in the examples of conscious, living celestial bodies.

In the end, it's a marketing term meaning "we don't arbitrarily set a numeric limit like 50GB", not that it can never possibly under any circumstances run into any kind of physical or practical limit.
