The libraries can't be that big, surely it would work fairly well if you just dedicate a preset portion of hard drive space, and delete the least used when it exceeds that size.

timlyo··on In light of recent events in Paris have your views on mass surveillance changed?
I still don't see it being effective in any way. Reddit has the best example of the maths that I can find.
