Did you look at tarsnap ( http://www.tarsnap.com/ )? I don't use it, but read about it here quite a bit and it sounds really great.

You made up the Hitler reference! I reject your invocation of Godwin's law.

If downvotes are used for disagreement, then I have to read them in order to know if they are relevant. If downvotes are saved only for irrelevant, one-liners, me-too's, etc., then I can safely ignore them.

Sorry, I should know better. I do hate when companies take their monopoly power(over the air waves, in this case) to do things that are bad for people. I can't find a link or think of a reference of an appropriate level right now.

Just doing my job. Didn't the world conclude that was not a valid excuse somewhere around 1945? Also, I think the success of pre-paid accounts show how much many people despise all the dirty tricks with contracts (like the $5000 bill when y

As a father with a daughter, I can imagine I would be very distraught. But, in this specific situation, if my daughter took pictures of herself, of her own volition and sent them out, it's really her decision. She might also get a tattoo or

Minors are not capable of making sound decisions, which is why they should be treated differently (and usually are). But, I disagree that this is the core issue. I believe that this is not a crime . At all. Not even a little bit. The i

Um, because the iPhone is cool? Also note he said it was more a concept, not what you would actually impliment.

You might be watching too much TV. Nothing happens quickly in a real ER.

As yet another parent, this looks promising. My ER visits are usually in the 5-7 hour range. I also don't really care what the place is called: if I have an issue, I want to go to the closest place that can help me. If it happens to be the

I'm sure I had this problem before, but maybe it was with an older server or browser? In any case, thanks for the correction.

Nobody has mentioned the latency issue when gzipping. If you have to construct the whole file before gzipping, in situations where the file is large or dribbles out as the server processes the data, this could mean a significant slowdown. I

I've worked with a 10x coder and he does everything moe mentioned above, even including hardware. He is disdainful of those who program, but can't maintain their own systems. One guy is not much of a sample, but many times I've seen him fin

Isn't this something you(or they) could fix on your end?

Aside from the issues mentioned (#1 up/down vote arrows too small and too close together, #2 screen is too wide, which makes the text too small, #3 links are useless without copy and paste unless they are live or super easy to remember):

Good for him. The idea that trying different techniques in education (i.e. Not giving grades) seems silly. The system will not fall apart. College is not vocational school, although you can hardly tell the difference. Imagine if science had

Sounds like a nice solution. It does not sound trivial to me, though. Do you have any code to share or other pointers?Especially around the 'tuning' of this system (like, how many hours was too many, how much distance was OK, etc.)

Isn't the point of karma to make HN a community? Karma is an important way of demonstrating quickly if a link or comment fits within these norms. Community does not have to mean groupthink and I think HN has avoided this, as demonstrated by

I'll be you use a lot of RMS-style free software, though! Just because you don't want to contribute, doesn't mean free software isn't a good thing.

I used to think Belkin was good. I like the clean look and design of most of their products. Then, they pulled the stunt you mentioned above. Now, just when I think the moral decay has been flushed out over time, we get this new story. They

This seems very true to me as well. I'm working on a business that fits directly into this category (SaaS that sells to businesses) and so I'm very interested to know if there are any facts, studies, etc. to prove it is actually the case
