Brace yourself, I'm going to go further into conspiracy land, but there's the possibility the end goal wasn't just to steal a plane for scrap metal, or to use it as a ride for the local fair. If that's the case, you&#x27

I never said Netflix would continue to run the application and let people stream illegal content. Let's break this down. First off, it's a perfect fit. The Popcorn Time audience streams the latest movies and tv series. This is exa

Is it surprising that an appication used to stream torrents, is primarily used for piracy? No, no it's not, and this is why I'm scratching my head. They knew from day one, before they wrote a single line of code that the applicati

Well, this is disappointing. It seemed like a nicely designed application, with an enthusiastic development team behind it. And now, within days, it's gone. If they wanted to avoid piracy, I think it might have had some potential going

The examples for the app are milk, bagels and cheese. All of these have expiration dates on the package or carton. Why do I need to waste time inputting this information online, and then look it up or check emails? Wouldn't it make mor

This makes me wonder, would it be better for your posture to lay on your back, while looking straight up at a screen? I mean, go lay on a carpet floor or on your bed, flat on your back, with your knees bent for comfort. Then imagine a scree

You issue the Secure Erase command. My SSD is my primary drive running Windows, so when I format, I just boot to PartedMagic on USB. It takes about 5 or 10 seconds for my SSD to format using Secure Erase. http://www.cnet.com&#x2F

Don't use DBAN if you have a SSD. Instead, use Secure Erase. 1. Secure Erase will only take a few seconds. 2. DBAN is going to shorten the life of the drive. 3. Yes, recovering data that has been overwritten is unlikely. However, DBAN

When I visit the cinema, it's usually for the experience, and less to do with catching a new release. For example, I wanted to go see Gravity this week. I could torrent the movie, but I heard good things about Gravity in theaters. None

Why not setup a web application, and host everything on your servers? Then, offer different plans based on the amount of work they're receiving. This is the beauty of web applications, they don't need to run their own hosting, man

I'm wondering if the outcome of these stories is going to prove that claiming you've been hacked is an acceptable answer. If so, isn't it going to be tempting for struggling Bitcoin businesses to claim the same, and walk away

I don't think anyone said becoming a mother was considered crazy. It's simply a change in lifestyle, especially if this is their first child. I'd say it's a bigger impact on women, because they need to give birth to the

Agree with a number of these points. First off, isn't the main goal creating flip books and reading flip books? I poked around with reading a few books, and the experience was flawed. 1. You're using the old gimmicky page turn ani

Austria had a ban on Google street view cars due to privacy. That's why you see no street view anywhere in Austria. I think they removed the ban, but since then, Google hasn't exactly been in a hurry to send any cars that way. It

Agreed, your biggest advantage is your western salary. Why visit a village in a developing country and work like a local, contributing $3/day worth of labor? That's $1,000 for a year of work. Why not stay home, earn $50,000, and d

1. How fast can a satellite travel up the tether? Let's say 50km/h, and it's going to an altitude of 35,000km. That's a month just in travel time. Using the tether for that period of time would be extremely costly. Curre
