This is the answer I was hoping for. I know of at least one solution for your ISP concerns. I think it will work very nicely. ISP's can obviously block anything they want to block. But with bigger bandwidth and things like VOIP services

As someone else said, why are there passwords in the logs? If these were submitted via POST (multipart), they would not be visible, right? Then there's the issue of permissions. That's how these logs were visible. Why can't we scrap this

Yeah, but who said anything about writing drivers? Very few people can do that. How about just really basic stuff, like how to not have ads for Amazon popping up when there is no need? The driver issue is, in my opinion, the single bigges

Do you think the possibility of "always on" computers at home (e.g., running low power ARM CPU's) is a real one? Would this change the way we think about "reliability"? (Of course the canonical example of the need to be "always on" is emai

This makes it easier for me to understand your comments on P2P. Thanks for filling me in. I might have guessed (incorrectly) that the reason you would suggest the cloud over home is security. Is it easier for me to secure my laptop behind

Yes, I'll admit I did jump from HTTPS to P2P. Although, I'm assuming that Tent is capitalizing on the term "decentralized" as in P2P. I do believe in the idea of using the cloud and having your own server. I hear you. I cut the knot myse

What is "hosting"? If you and I have a peer-to-peer connection and I queue up some content for you and possibly others who are on our private network, and you choose to retrieve it, is that "hosting"? Are these rules about what belongs in t

How do users behind NAT run their own tent servers? If they can manage to run their own HTTPS servers from behind NAT, if they have those skills (not to mention a reachable IP), then why do they need tent? Couldn't they just host all thei

"focus on... not being found to be wrong" Why is that? Is there really even a "right" or wrong" in this process? Isn't it more of a matter of being able to support your choice of design trade-offs with cogent arguments? And being able to

The thing with LFS is that it would cause Linux users to learn. Not necessarily a bad thing. And I would predict it could lower their tolerance for the lots of the garbage that many ditributions force on them. (Like this brilliant move b

The saddest part is this probably offended some people. For the troubled Ubuntu user who still has a sense of humor and an ounce of common sense, I recommend Linux From Scratch. Time to start over.

It's great to see Nature, itself a high-priced journal, running this story. arXiv.org really makes downloading papers a breeze. If only it were so easy in other discliplines. It's a lot easier than downloading articles from, say, ScienceDi

Why do you need to hotlink? What is one more click? <img src="http://example.com/1.jpg">Photo</a> No. <a href="http://example.com/1.jpg">Photo</a> Yes.

"You can scrape anything you like off the internet and do as you please... but you can't create a business out of it." I tried to tell this to the Google guys in the 1990's but they didn't listen! :)

If you wanted your personally identifiable data protected from public access (being cached by search engines), then presumably you would not submit it to a web site that is open to the public (not password protected). If Craigslist changes

I would expect that many users would feel this way. I can guess why. But could you tell us specifically? Assume for the sake of the question that whereever the data may appear on the web, it would always have a "Source: " line to indicate

I fail to see a qualitative difference between "mobile", "laptop", "desktop" or "stovetop". Those are just form factors. They are all computers. We can put a computer inside almost anything nowadays. What matters to me besides what's on

If Craigslist can assert copyright protection over classified ads and can make people grant exclusive licenses to the ads they submit, then why didn't newspapers do this before the web? Shouldn't there be a nice line of precedent for Craig
