On a related note, I've been using Livedrive for a number of years now and they have a lan transfer option to obtain a file over the network than over the internet. I suspect however a lot of use cases are separated by the internet and generally aren't on the same network.
What would be awesome however is if after the sync both computers were able to contribute to uploading the file to the live server. So I could sync my files over lan to my laptop, go to work, then have my home/work computer upload them to the net, thus 2x quicker to store it in the cloud. But that would be a bit of an edge use case I think.
- bigtones 14y agoI've always thought it's 87x as in 'eighty seven times' - the other way around makes it seem like a long lost Intel instruction set.
- mdellabitta 14y agox87 is the original FPU instruction set of the x86 family, so time to be confused again. But now you can be .75 confused instead of 1 confused.
