It doesn't say that to me. It says: "Nokia baggage". That is all. Either way, I'm not writing another damn mobile app or picking up another damn smartphone again. It's all totally crazy bananas now. I'd rather

Its a hypothetical question really. I keep everything offline in multiple places.

Thanks for your reply. That fills me with a little more confidence. However, elsewhere in this thread someone else raised a valid question: How do you handle child porn filtering? I have three children and take photos of them. I am worried

I wasn't sharing it. To be honest if they're checking for CP then they're messing with your files. There isn't a sudden distinction when you bring in "think of the children"...

I'm not sure how you can explain it then. The file was 600Mbish. It successfully uploaded via the desktop client then was later downloaded on another machine via the desktop sync thing. Later that evening it was gone. I didn't del

Nope. Not a sausage. If just disappeared.

Nope. I uploaded a legit Office ISO I downloaded from MSDN to SkyDrive (as it was called back then) to test throughput up and down. After 3-4 hours it was gone. My data isn't going near it. Edit: just to clarify... I think they hash in

Yeah I removed everything and I ended up with the same feature set as a Nokia C2-01 so I bought one. The only two things I missed (for a bit) was: 1. Email. Turns out people don't have to be replied to instantly and they accept that af

Yep Nokia C2-01 here. I don't get 4 weeks (people keep phoning me still) but I'm managine 7-9 days which is better than 7-9 hours!

I find them terribly constricting. If you don't conform to the constraints that are forced upon you by the ecosystem and the device then you are at the mercy of the ecosystem and the device and this is nothing but bad news when you hit

No. I'm moving away from smartphones entirely. The negative impact on my life is higher than the advantages.

It'd be a first if it works properly. NM has been a pain point for me for years. There is always something that doesn't work properly. Also it's impossible to debug easily. VPN not connecting? NO DOCUMENTATION. Typically when

You mean like auctions are now? eBay is just a storefront now. I do pretty well (£600+ a month) out of just buying items in auctions which are rather well hidden then selling them via the storefront/buy it now process.

by pling 12y ago
Rather more worrying, perhaps that eBay won't be able to tell the difference between a genuine and counterfeit item and end buyers will end up being screwed by the protection policies in place because "they obviously verified the

If you're in the UK, it's bytemark on the server and Andrews and Arnold for your connection. They're the only two respectable companies I've found. Glad to hear some sense being spoken in the blog post. Everyone has thei

If your business is facebook games, about all that happens if you go down is "meh". Is that a good business model? Probably not.

Just buy more computers. Works for us and is cheaper than VMWare ESX (the thing we replaced). Xen would be cheaper and give us better utilisation but getting rid of VMware was a good step towards cost savings :)

It doesn't make any difference for me. Getting crap into RAM the first time is all I care about rather than sustained transfer.

I already have 3 SSDs floating around that I know are good (Samsung 840 Pro). I wouldn't want to kick out for another 256Gb SSD when I already have one. Not only that, those fusion drives are terribly unreliable from experience. Regard

Can I replace the disk with an SSD easily? Probably not! :(

I hope this is comedy. If it isn't, give me a break :) Excuse the vent - I just spent two hours fixing some shit just for IE... Seriously. I spent a LOT of my time in front of IE and this is the real story: The built in search determin

British person here. Very astute observation. However I'm the opposite. I kick off regularly at people for being that pliable and conformant. What do I get in return? I am shunned for possibly being contrarian, despite the logic being

I worked in the defense industry. The employees don't give a shit if the pay cheque turns up. It doesn't matter if they're making guns, bombs or reading people's emails. Someone told them it was good and they're get

This. I'm a UK resident and I note that the propaganda machine is running on overdrive. The batshit sheep majority (sorry but it's true at least where I live) of the country is almost calling out for anyone with a beard and a turb

Nice. The main reason I own a Casio (9750g) is because I can't stand the TI8x OS. The hardware is better than the Casio but the software isnt. This could be the sweet spot :) I understand some people might call me crazy but I couldn&#x
