Of course being in a relationship and having other friends are not incompatible, but the time commitment, reordering of priorities, strain on your mental/physical/pecuniary resources will almost inevitably harm your relationships with other

Looks like the author is wearing rose-tinted glasses to me. While much of the observations may be true, the web is still a far richer and more valuable resource than it was five or ten years ago.

I know a lot of people who also used flickr primarily as a backup solution. Sharing their photos with strangers on the Internet was always a secondary motivation. This may, at least in part, explain flickr's gradual decline. In the age of c

If the ability to sell the content on the second hand market makes the original purchaser more likely to buy the content first hand, then it may be said to help the rights holder. On the other hand, by selling on the second hand market the

The usenet servers live on, and all the files (minus a small percentage that are the subject of takedown requests) are still there. NZBMatrix was just one of dozens of indexing sites.

What are HN comment threads if not a place to express opinions?

Their safe harbor protection is not in question at the moment. They have allegedly shut the site down because they lack the resources to handle the growing tide of takedown requests.

If you're looking for scene releases, just use a pre database like preDB.com. Find a release on preDB, copypasta the release name to binsearch, create the NZB, done. Generally speaking it's very easy to find material just using binsearch. I

Never understood the appeal of NZBMatrix. Just use a search engine like Binsearch, NZBIndex.nl, etc. In any case, with more and more takedown requests being directed at usenet providers, I think usenet's days as a safe haven for piracy are

It's worth noting with the Facebook profile picture the 180x180 original is cropped, rather than resized, to 160x160. This is important if you're looking for seamless integration between the profile picture and cover photo.

I'm inclined to agree the demand for 1Gbps residential connections isn't there at the moment. I have a 120Mbps residential connection. I's more than sufficient for me, and I'm probably in the 99th percentile in terms of residential bandwidt

If you use your Internet connection for business purposes, you should not be on a residential plan in the first instance.

I'm surprised Amazon allow IRC on EC2. A sizeable number of VPS providers prohibit IRC usage; it makes them dDoS magnets and just isn't worth the hassle

I think McAffee means to claim the photo was taken and the EXIF data was manipulated on his iPhone, then he created a 'fake emergency' and told the Vice reporters they would have to move urgently so that they would post the photo online imm

We haven't had official word from any of the ISPs involved. Sounds to me like a mistake, or an excessively cautious response to the prior court order requiring ISPs to block access to TPB. This may be a different domain, and it may be hoste

This isn't anything new. Most of the major ISPs in the UK work with the Internet Watch Foundation [1] who maintain a blacklist of sites with certain types of content (child pornography, criminally obscene images, etc.) and have been blockin

Then after 2 years, sell the $1,800 MacBook Air for ~$1,000, the iPad (now presumably 2-3 generations out of date) for ~$300, and the Mac becomes better value. You've taken a $800 depreciation hit on the Mac, and although the depreciation o

Once you factor hardware depreciation in (who would toss a laptop after 2 years when you could sell it for 60% residual and put the money towards a new one?) there's inevitably going to come a point where the Mac has a lower TCO. Lower upfr
