Q: How long do the photos remain in photo stream?

How long to photos remain in photo stream?  Should they be saved permanently sometime?  If Photostream is turned on, and then you download a memory card with pictures, what's the best way to not have duplicate pictures?

    The photos remain in the My Photo Stream for 30 days or untill more than 1000 are added and push them out. If you setup iPhoto's iCloud preferences as shown below all phiotos will be automaticall imported into your library when the iPhone is conected to WiFi.
