Clearly the only secure and rational solution for all of us is to print out our source code every hour and store it in a shoebox under our beds.

Try to be serious. What are you gonna do, type your source back in by hand? Punch cards, paper tape, cassette recorder, pick one.

You're snarky, but that's exactly the way we used to protect source code intellectual property here in Uruguay until recently.

Nowadays you can hand a CD, plus a printed manual. Printing the code is now optional. But you still have to register every version :)
