Sorry, but that's just not true. If someone's spending 5000-10000€ on a kitchen renovation, then it's quite worth it to spend a couple of hundred more on appliances that will last as long as the rest of the kitchen. With mode

As someone who's worked in an abuse desk for an EU-based hosting business, I can confirm that: 1) American businesses will send DMCA requests for pretty much anything -- sometimes they request take-downs of their own local subsidiaries

Ditto. I found two of them at a local flea market, indicating that there's at least one more hipster out here on the countryside where I live. Also, mix tapes are still awesome at parties; it gets rid of the fight about who gets to con

The 'client' in this case is the individual web sites that use Google's ad solutions -- not Google itself. It's the same thing with businesses' Facebook pages -- Facebook simply acts as a data processor in that case

The question is if notqmail isn't a bit too late. I'm maintaining a qmail setup for a customer and the amount of duct tape we've put on that thing is rather ridiculous. As it is now, I'd rather replace the whole thing wi
