Just to chime in here but I've been using Crunchbang lately too and find it a nice choice. I've wanted something stable and lighter that I use as my "desktop/host" and then do all my dev work in Virtualbox or KVM vms. FYI, the latest ISO n

Thank you for your words and your service. I too was in the enlisted ranks spending 6 1/2 years in the Army in Combat Arms (Scout) and Special Operations (PSYOP) and then was granted early discharge to start fall semester at UNC in 1997. Th

Would it be possibly to also identify sites that share your information? A great example: facebook.com Does not sell your private information. But they obviously do share information and while this is apparent to most users, how many sites

It is meant to be used mostly as a configuration tool for the monitoring host. If the developer has recently updated/deployed then they are probably working on the site and can ensure monitors.txt is available.

Fantastic idea. I see humans.txt ( http://humanstxt.org/ ) was an influence. Why not stay in a concise format like that?

I think Zed has found a great place to call home as I just realized he's created his own brand with LxTHW. I can envision LxTHW having a bright future with a lot of great topics awaiting his "Programming, Motherfuckers" attitude and amazi

Is there an equivalent of foobar2000 for Mac? The only player I've used on a regular basis on Mac is Vox ( http://www.voxapp.didgeroo.com/ ).

Thank you for the link. I stick to my original question though and the reason is that I'm not in favor of domainers or "domaining as a business."

This is innovation? "Also today, professional domain name trader Winged Media, based in Australia but now with an office in the US, announced a $3 million investment from the Carnegie Innovation Fund."

If you're interested in Haskell then yes it is a good presentation. In my opinion, Bryan is one of the more thoughtful speakers around. Slides are here: http://bos.github.com/strange-loop-2011/talk/talk.html#%281%... Navigation uses keyb

Tv(with no Nielsen surveys/monitoring), phone(with no dinner marketing calls) and mail(with no catalogs or AOL cds) works wonderfully. Let me pay for my services and be a hermit. I understand not everyone wants to pay for services and hav

To put things into better perspective, here is the letter from the B&N CEO that was sent out some weeks ago informing Borders' customers of the acquisition of some assets. The sale was approved by a federal bankruptcy court. http://ww

"Trusted and Dependable" and "Bank grade AES-256 bit encryption" Does that mean client-side encryption yet? Businesses are expected to use this without it? Any comments from Dropbox staff here?

Am I the only one who's never heard of Klout until now? To me, they've failed at their own service. So for an individual, Klout just reaffirms one's ego and then rewards with special opportunities for consumerism?

Truecrypt is not an option for the majority of users. You've gone from a slick user experience to one of..."Why not just keep things on my USB stick again?" These are solved problems as evidenced by other providers like Spideroak and Wuala

by rednaught 15y ago
Yes it does. The problem is explaining the purpose of Truecrypt and it's use to the audience of those who read mainstream press articles such as written by Pogue. If the incorporation of encryption is not as slick as the rest of the produc

Each time a prompt for an alternative news reader appears, this one seems to get some attention: http://www.newsblur.com/ I personally just use the newsreader built into Opera now. Just good enough for my needs.

From the article... "I realize that not everybody works on such elaborate file-shuttling projects. But try Dropbox for its ability to keep your important files everywhere at once. Or try it as an automatic, silent, encrypted backup of your

A common use of Bluetooth with mobile phones has been for a wireless headset or handsfree operation in a car. This is another example of that but it happens in your home using cordless phone sets as the extension.

Trust is ever-changing. For instance, if you trust sane thoughts or actions from an entity only to one day perceive that the same source creates not so-sane thoughts or actions, do you lose trust in that entity? Perspective is an interest

As bad_user said, who said Facebook is getting a pass? Facebook started out with very limited reach requiring a university affiliation. Seemed pretty safe and close-knit at the time. Membership has grown to anyone and privacy has slid ever

Yes, they support multiple phones. Check the Amazon link that portman provided. It appears that all the major cordless manufacturers have sets that support this now. It's been pleasant to use since it (I'm using a Uniden set) has "just w

Maybe not everything has to be a purely "for-profit" endeavor. There are alternatives and there are plenty of people willing to support change. http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/10/to_reform_capitalism_ceos_sh...

That is correct. I also couple it with a VOIP service but cordless phones can be used with only cell phone if you want that. I'm using Uniden but I know AT+T and Panasonic also have cordless sets that offer this "cell link" feature as well

Remote wipe is starting to appear on Android devices. Check the Samsung Stratosphere that was released this week. It also has Cisco's SSL VPN client on it. http://www.talkandroid.com/65998-verizon-wireless-officially... That funny word

Replace "phone" with a channel in unified communications and you have what is already happening in the post pc era. Look at tablets that use something like Totkumi's Line2 for a soft VOIP device over 3g/4g/wireless/voice and this is where

So for the parents who are already struggling to keep their own phone(or perhaps unable to afford one) they now have to purchase one for their child(ren)? It would seem we're into some kind of transition phase where digital education for K-
