"DC-based author Tim Shorrock revealed ThinThread was sent to New Zealand for testing in 2000-2001" This is news? It happened 12 years ago. I would also note to whoever posts these NZHerald links, they are basically like the Fox News of New

Using the term 'blackhat' is pretty darn vague. It's just as vague as using the word 'cloud' (Basically a buzz word). I wouldn't call this guy Blackhat though, if he's stealing credit cards then that's straight up fraud. Usually when people

I've been researching something similar for a startup idea for a while now. There still a couple of problems that still haven't been addressed (or just aren't included in this article) 1. 1 Cell site isn't enough to cover a densely populate

I think everyone forgot about the 3 strikes law here. None of the big ISP's enforce it AT ALL. I've heard a couple of small ISP's kick a couple of people off back when it was first introduced but since then there's been nothing. Considering

I guess this a little bit of a hacky, complicated way to do it, but I think it might solve part of the problem. Setup a cheap VPS/Dedicated server to host all your images. A good example is BuyVM Storage VPS ($7/month for 250gb) or Kimsufi

Ahh this brings back some memories. The articles mentions the guy who made the cooking stuffing software. He was pretty active on a private part of a forum I'm still part of. Anyway eBay went after the forum as well, and promptly deleted hi

This is some quality info! One thing I can add, if your looking for a solid, no BULLETPROOF pair of headphones, definitely take a look at some Sennheiser HD-25's. These things sound amazing and you can wear them for hours without them hurti

My 2¢ is that it's gonna crash like it did a couple years back. Then would be the best time to buy, since it will probably do this crazy business once again.

What I don't get is now Rackspace Cloud files (with the Akamai CDN) is pretty much the same price as s3, and you don't have to pay for GET, PUT etc. requests at all. I think Akamai's CDN is still faster then Amazon's (especially here in New

So are you using Shared hosting? Well if your a startup, you shouldn't really be on shared hosting to begin with. I would recommend you look into getting a VPS or even a dedicated server if you can. There could of been a chance that your cu

I tried the app out of the other day. I'm not sure if its still in beta, but the app lacks a lot of polish. And as of typing this it just crashed. Definitely has potential though, but I might wait a little while to I consider using it again

They couldn't be that profitable since the average of people using it was 12-13 lol. And I'm guessing the other reason they shut down is that ask.fm took over, pretty much took the exact same idea and now all the tween's are using that now.

Why are they shutting it down? I mean heaps of people must still use it. I bet a shit load of people use for Google Alerts as well, lots of businesses. Far if it costed too much, i bet people would be happy to fork out $10 a year for it? I'

Instead of getting a $20 VPS, why doesn't anyone consider a full dedicated for $12? http://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml I realise that people have mixed feelings about OVH, but I've yet to have a problem and 100% uptime. Plus

Meh DigitalOcean is oversold. Each box has 128gb ram, so you are probably going to be on a server with 100+ other VPS's. Lots of people have been complaining about network speeds recently: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/8339/very-bad

Ouch, someone just sent in a DMCA: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2013-03-06-LayerV... Now you can't download it, however the OP link still seems to work fine. Is this a troll DMCA? I don't get it.

Well basically it's almost a pyramid scheme. These companies will go and promote another crapware company and get commission off that. So basically it's like a giant loop. Or they will sell the data they have harvested such as your personal
