Amazon makes money as they monetize their otherwise unused resources. More usage -> higher bidding, better prices, not a 90% gap with on-demands.

It is not mentioned in the docs, but not only EBS performance is unreliable, but it is also not uncommon to get a "stuck" EBS volume, where no I/O operations go through at all. So you have to a) monitor and be ready to take action on "dead

G+ definitely needs a circle exclusion option. Then you could have public posts with several circles excluded (they can still read it since it's public but it won't pollute their stream unless they reply). But they will pick it up soon, no

So you still have a major disappointment ahead when your online personas (all of which are public btw) will clash with undesired consequences. At least in G+ you are controlling your privacy, not just luck/obscurity which you currently se

run away from such sites as they obviously store your password in a database. there should be no difference which length is the password since database only stores constant length salted hash of it.

Keepass is quite advanced and has exporting ability. I switched to it several years ago from PINs using export in half an hour. No problems with transition. Also lost quite a few harddrives and laptops during those years - no problems if yo

Agreed that they were first to fully implement this particular "graphical" tagging with confirmations. However the technology is nevertheless too simplistic to be patented. Just saying that any business which is a leader in some new field c

Hope they won't actually enforce this patent unless they start going out of business. This is going beyond ridiculous now, trivial ideas with trivial tech behind them have no value and should not be protectable with a patent - it's not like

Or if they can steal some good money or business out of that. In this particular case money is relatively small and the case complicated with many high-rank officials involved, so most probably it would go to the "Never Happened" file.

Always surprised me how advanced humans pretend to be and how simple-minded they actually appear en masse, with this race to "get my integer number higher" which is a basis of most social algorithms. Really people? That is the only way to s

Genius. I used 4 spaces for some time and stopped using them without a conscious reason why - it just felt inconvenient switching between them. But now reading this it becomes clear why - the need to scroll through all spaces and no muscle

"The country's Internet service providers were running a malicious piece of code that was recording users' login information when they went to sites like Facebook." Right, for all those pre-21st century sites that still don't enforce SSL fo

There is quite a lot of logic and I'm sorry that I was so brief that my point escaped almost everybody here. Both merchants and customers are "statistically" equated to criminals, forced to do any online business in a closed ghetto. Which d

Exactly. You usually have no choice but to deal in electronic currencies which work in "3rd world" countries. And they most often serve scammers, porn sites, cialex pushers and so on. What are the chances of the legitimate online business w

The reason they failed is fairly simple. People are not that smart, on average, so the usage of their service, besides initial "have some fun" period, is limited to data researchers (of all kinds), scientists and students. It may be not the

Thanks but I'm really not that old :) As to your point, I guess it depends on what your friends use facebook for. As a place for some smalltalk and humor - sure, they probably would never worry if the whole world reads it. But not suitab
