After Mr. Snowden disclosed information about the + National Security Agency' (NSA) surveillance programs that allowed + the NSA to access information stored on file storage provider' + computers, online file storage became a non-solution for storing + personal files for everyone who detested the possibility of somebody + else being able to access their personal files.

It allows an + individual to store personal files in the ``combox directory'' on + all her computers (running GNU/Linux or OS X) and the combox program + takes the files, splits and encrypts them and spreads them across + file storage providers' directories. Therefore, when an individual + uses storage space provided by file storage providers through + combox, each file storage provider gets only a part of the file in + an encrypted form. \end{abstractpage} %--------+----------------------------------------------------------+ @@ -194,7 +212,7 @@ \begin{dedication} \noindent Dedicated to the - \verb+$EDITOR+ I used to write everything. + \verb+$EDITOR+ I used to write literally everything. \end{dedication} %--------+----------------------------------------------------------+ @@ -282,7 +300,7 @@ % +----------------------------------------------------------+ \begin{preface} -[Insert your preface here] +42. \end{preface} %XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -- cgit v1.2.3
