That's a problem. It's easiest if the exit is an IPO, since that's announced in advance. I've seen this strategy used on a fairly large company about to be acquired by a public company, when there were already rumors goi

My XFCE4 doesn't have it. It might be in some configuration option though.

Wait until they are close to exiting and then threaten to sue for 5%, settle for 2%. It's the absolute worst timing for a startup to get hit with something like this. Of course, only do it if you're actually in the right, so check

There's a fair number of hosts where you simply get a 10, 100 or 1000mbps port and then use it for unlimited traffic. As long as the provider doesn't pay per MB, there's no issue in filling it up. The main difference with pla

If S3 storage pricing was the issue for this startup they could always have gone with their own dedicated servers for storage for a fraction of the cost. For that reason, I doubt a lower S3 cost would have prevented them from shutting down.

It might very well come on April 8th, since malware authors who find exploits in the period leading up to that date would wisely wait until right after the no-more-patching cliff to release their new 0days.

Getting a "Drobo product" (NAS) won't do much when your house burns down or gets robbed. To be safe, you need your data to be in multiple physical locations.

Print them twice and store them in different locations. Or more realistically: batch-resize the photo's so that they are much smaller, and save that version of manageable size somewhere online as a last resort for when a disaster destr

I use a cronjob that uses duplicity for encrypted backups with Google Drive as external storage (python2-gdata package on Arch). After Google dropped their price on 100GB to $2/month they became the cheapest option for me. I'd lov

So it seems that the business model being evaluated here is to replace ads by bitcoin donation buttons, and then promote the fact that you've done that to pro-bitcoin audiences in the hopes that they donate. That's fine, but the c

With systemd you simply do: journalctl -f where the f stands for follow.

You're allowed to download video & music, not upload it. Bittorrent also uploads data.

As I understand it, it would lack responses to pending comments, since nobody can respond to a comment before it's endorsed.

Any reason to not open-source it? I doubt you can build a startup out of something that's probably against the Youtube ToS, so not much to lose.

Just an executable? No source code? No information on who you are? I think you'll have a hard time getting people to trust you.

I suspect you know this, but either way: you should initialize your arrays in R to the proper length-- dynamically growing them within a for-loop as you do with values, func and results in optimxWrapper is extremely slow in R, as it creates

Well, hypothetically: unplug everything on that side of the planet right before it hits, especially the main power lines.

Are you suggesting to commit computer fraud in an attempt to break government security systems, thereby giving terrorists and pedophiles free roam?

Sure. But the app seems to be focused on streaming very popular torrents, which means that generally all pieces will be available enough. Also, all Popcorntime clients want the same blocks first, meaning they will both need and seed the fir

Right. The actual app supports torrents for movies that have non-free licenses as well.

So the only thing the NSA has to do is hack/convince/rendition/break-into-house a single person who holds a package signing key, and then they can MITM your pacman updater and have you as well. And there's enough people

Unfortunately, links might change state. Links on some sites will delete records, and a browser has no way of knowing which. Also, it generates a much larger server load. Look up FasterFox and the related controversy.

Are all programs dynamically linked with GnuTLS, or are there packages that have to be recompiled separately? (On Debian/Arch)

For the Apple code we did not have the full commit history. Do we know the history of this bug yet? Edit: See https://www.gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/blame/6aa26f78150ccb...

Try Clementine, it has both a local library and integration of Google Music, Spotify, Grooveshark, etc.

They're missing the possibility that the drive might decide to simulate being an USB hub at some point. It can then be both a USB storage drive and a simulated keyboard, and use the second to install something from the first.

Doesn't it mean we can do CA-free authenticated HTTPS? That would make it useful for me.

Here's a harder question: is it ever possible to deduce causation based on data alone? We all know that correlation does not imply causation, but is there anything that does? If not: prove it. And if yes, under what conditions exactly?
