This proposed copyright law is about as far from benefitting individuals instead of companies as you can get.

I believe google drive also has partially unlimited photo storage, if the photos are below a certain resolution they don't count towards your storage quota.

But that would probably open them up to a lot of users using their service for online storage instead of just backups which they are trying to avoid I believe.

>Frankly I cant even begin to think why anyone would recommand Appengine to anybody. It's awesome for tiny things where the free quota is enough. I have about 15 small app engine web apps, most written in python/flask, that are

Well Dropbox/Gdrive/Skydrive etc. all offer free storage in the range of 15-30gb, which is enough for most normal users. For professionell use there is S3,glacier, box etc. and they all offer known security and redundancy. Most bu

You can find ready to go Mac OSX VMs online (torrent/usenet etc., usually 2-6gb). They worked on any PC I tried them on, but without GPU acceleration, although I had to install a VMWare MacOS enabler (that was bundled with the VM) beca

I believe the free tier has higher* response times. Also as far as I know once you get to something like 100Tb a month they will ask you or require you to upgrade. But thats still ridiculously high, the same would cost $12k on AWS. *Edit: m

Personally, I use an OVH/Kimsufi server. 10 Euro/mo for AtomD425 CPU, 4GB Ram and 2TB HDD, 100Mbit/s, 4 IPs. I use it as backup and online storage, to host a few small shitty websites (behind cloudflare) and used to use it as

The display is used for a lot of things, not just for speed. For example during saturday qualifying drivers usually have the time difference of their laps to the leader on the display, and it gets constantly updated. It's quite interes

Interesting, I didn't know OVH had that service, looks very nice. Although it looks like it's limited to 5GB max file size and 10 Mbit/s bandwidth, which seems very low for anybody with a decent internet connection.

And what about lossless image formats like .tiff or .bmp? These allow you to basically store any data in an image, and although the photo looks just like noise it's a completely valid image file with minimal overhead. I do know some pe

Red Bull made a very interesting concept car a few years ago along that line of thought. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_X2010

To everybody considering Crashplan, you need to be careful with them too, during the two years I've used them they twice deleted the backup of a external hdd I don't mount too often, even though I had it set to never delete files.

This app specifically improves clear vision at farther distances, which seems far more useful on a daily basis, especially since a lot of people don't have good vision. Compared to twitch games that only improve reaction time in a very

There is a OSX tool called gfxCardStatus that can switch GPUs without logging out on the 08 and 09 models, works great on my 09 MBP, so it only seems to be a driver issue not a hardware limitation.

A third option other than hit-piece or vendetta would be just page views. A lot of tech writers and bloggers just write counter pieces to popular articles in the hope to get read, spread and shared by whoever dislikes or disagrees with the
