I pay less than $7/month for my Usenet connection, which is relatively cheap if you use it frequently. The connection is over SSL so it's completely secure end-to-end. My average download speed is 9 MB/s (saturating my line) which means I c

Rogers already does this (cripples download and limits upload to ~80KBps). They've forced me to switch to Usenet as even popular Torrents slow to a crawl on their Ultimate plan (50 down/2 up).

For the time being, nothing. However, once TPB goes full magnet you'll just submit a link instead of a file. It should make the process easier.

This looks really handy. It's disappointing that there's only partial support for IE7.

The court order was not misunderstood, it was executed exactly as written. The person(s) who made the final verdict are the ones that misunderstand the technology and that's not the ISPs fault.

That's a shame, but at the same time you have to wonder who would store five years of photos using an online service and not have a single backup. Buy one or two cheap portable hard drives and do a monthly backup of all of your can't-live-w

This has nothing to do with outsourcing as outsourcing is usually done on a contract basis. This is a way to stop people from being employed by a company in a different state.

I'm nitpicking, but I wouldn't say Apple "removes" the logos, just special orders the chips with their logo instead.

That's not what the law is meant to prevent. It's meant to prevent me from sharing my online service (Netflix) account with my mother. It's meant to persuade me to tell my mother to get her own account. Clearly these people don't love their

I'm currently working on a custom written Photoblog hashed out in PHP using the Codeigniter framework. Photography is a just a hobby of mine and I refuse to use services like Flickr to share photos; for some reason it just don't sit right w

Evercookie isn't evil, it's just a tool; it's how you use it that matters. Using it to keep track of users for spam or troll purposes is perfectly fine to me.

I know what you're saying and I agree; I just wanted to touch on the Napster point.

Firebug's killing me. It's so useful, but so slow!

Dispute indeed. Napster failed legally because had a central datastore that aided in transferring the music. They just weren't passing around links, they were passing around files, too.

Yes, I know what he was talking about, just not how it relates to running a PHP-FPM server on Node.js. What was posted has absolutely nothing to do with ASP.NET and he's spouting off about how it's "full or traps" and how the development se

How does any of that relate to the link that was posted?

It looks much, much better. It's simpler and easier to identify. The old one was riddled with way too much detail. Good move.

And 88kb isn't even gziped. When it's actually downloaded from your (or a CDN's) server it's less than 30kb.
