I'd like something that deletes everything I post to those services after, say, 90 days. Allow an exception for photos.

There is no solution to the Byzantine Generals problem. If you control more than one third of the nodes, you can wreak havoc, and likely do what you please with the network. You know who has that kind of computing power? States.

Given they mostly have business / law / academic backgrounds, I am not sure that anybody has ever put the case for fibre speeds to the Libs in terms other than 'this is what people want, and it is good.' The use cases us

I run it under Xen with a GPU passed through using VT-d. There are dozens of guides for running it in Xen and also many guides for passing GPUs through to Xen guests. No problems to report. The OSX guest has full access to the GPU. Yet to a

Given that Mac OS straddles these two worlds perfectly well and you're a working professional, why not claim a mac as a tax deduction? (If your jurisdiction allows for that) As for your question, the answer depends on whether you need the G

I'll not jump ship until my downloads are frequently disrupted at the block level, across multiple providers. Pretty difficult to achieve, given the architecture. Indices come and go... Much of the Usenet crowd know how to set up an indexer

I have been waiting for a good Pixel Qi device (in any form factor, really, although a 13" ultrabook or 7" tablet or 4" phone is ideal) to emerge for several years, as it seems a good compromise between utility and readability, although E-I
