Been using then to host my small personal projects for a year or two (using their SVN repo). So far, so good (so free too).

Do you have any personal experience with Zimbra? Isn't it too feature-rich, and thus overly complicated, for home use?

Anybody else tempted to operate their own "cloud"? I'm waiting for OS X Lion Server to be released to install it on my home server (really just a mac Mini running 24/7 next to my router). Since most of my sharing (calendar, docs...) is betw

Which is precisely why modern civilized societies have a judicial system. To reach a verdict based on actual facts and evidence. Not some "what ifs". [edited for typos]

I don't see any evidence that Person B stole Person A's laptop or that Person B is even aware than the laptop was stolen. Or maybe that was the point you were making?

Somehow I doubt that's the abuse they are concerned about.

> "So long as you remain within the app, there’s no security advantage for OAuth in an embedded web view over xAuth" Yes there is. I don't trust the developer enough to give her/him my user ID and password so OAuth works for me.

I envy all of you people who "choose" how many hours of sleep they will have (or not have). After you have kids, especially if their sleep pattern is very inconsistent for no apparent reason, you just take whatever you can get. Unfortunatel

At what point is the physical need for an artificial substance considered an addiction? Not criticizing, just honestly wondering.

Something I didn't see mentioned in the piece that I see as THE major hurdle to that noble, if utopian, idea is that more and more ISPs in the US are capping bandwidth (Comcast, AT&T U-Verse to name the biggest ones). I guess you coul

Very interesting talk for the Java geek in me. Side note: blogspot's UI has gotten really old.

"Practicing a piece of music for four hours requires focused attention, but it is nowhere near as cognitively demanding as a sleepover with 14-year-old girls." Love it. Finally something he and I agree on...

Can you elaborate on that?

Of course I don't know that for sure, but I don't think there's any argument that practicing piano for an extended period of time throughout your childhood greatly increases your chance to become a successful pianist. The same goes with aca

Probably the wrong crowd considering HN's readership is probably too young to worry about raising kids... But, as a father of 2 little ones, this "tiger mom" concept is very intriguing to me. I don't think there's any doubt these kids will

The infographic reads that 1/3 of Americans have credit card debt and further below that over 100 MM Americans carry a balance from month to month. 1. Isn't carrying a balance from month to month the definition of "credit card debt"? 2. As

Good point. Also, unlike others I'd tried in the past (iDrive, Carbonite), you don't have direct access to your backed up data. You essentially file a online "request" to retrieve this or that file/folder and wait for their email to tell yo

That's exactly what I keep thinking about BackBlaze (I am one of the "hogs" they talk about on whom they don't make money) but they seem to indicate they are profitable, for now... I guess it's viable as long as they don't become too popula

Not sure why you'd say that. I just wanted to open a discussion on the future and viability of online backup companies like Backblaze, Mozy... I'm sure a lot of HN readers use such a service and have an opinion about it.

by BlazingFrog 16y ago
Am I the only one getting tired of hearing Google whine about this? In my view it's simple, just do something about it or shut up.

I'm amazed at Germany's dots. The whole country seems covered with them when the rest of Europe (save for the UK maybe) is sparsely represented.

I think most of the rich people as described in the article (top 2%) already get most, if not all, of the perks he lists. It may not be in the law, but make no mistake. These people don't go to the DMV (who cares about the express lane), do
