I've been hit with this problem before and had never found an explanation why some scripts worked and some didn't. I eventually just added it to the crontab of a user and that was that, but I'm so glad to finally know WHY. This is such an a

I know at least GetRight was first released in February of 1997[1]... dont know if there is anything older than that... probably some command line tools though... Also usenet downloading by parts has been around before that, from memory at

How about this: 1) Describe a system similar to the patent that is compatible with chunked-HTTP downloading from multiple mirror sites ( which has been around since before the patent ) 2) Ask for declaratory judgement that such a system doe

I just hope they don't make data plans even more expensive than they are now. Thankfully I'm still grandfathered into the unlimited plan, but I have a feeling they are going to make it harder and harder to stay on this plan as time goes on.

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take to process the huge zip file?

Sounds like a great idea, but how liable are they for copyright infringement?

I always though there was something strange about how movies on the newer 120Hz LCDs looked to me and this article explains why. Interesting read.

To me it sounds too good to be true, but I really hope it is.

I think what they mean is that if your decompressed binary has long chunks of zeroes which compress really well, when it is encrypted (thanks DRM) those long series of zeroes get changed to non-reapeating data and are no longer easily compr

Just did an experiment out of curiosity. Once you change the DRO it takes about 3-5mins for the changes to be visible on the cloudfront url, another advantage seems to be that once the served version is updated you no longer get the previou

Have you thought about uploading the index.html with a version number ( index_12345.html ) and all the support files (css, js, etc) in a directory like 'support_12345', then just changing the DRO in cloudfront? That might make the updates f

My solution: http://t.co/SFInPFT 53% Tax Increases 47% Spending cuts But as someone else posted, this doesn't take into account the feedback loops some of the changes have on the other measures, also with the current political climate I d

I did not find this in the description for the service, but I'm wondering what happens if you have a crash or power failure while doing a multi-part upload and dont have the 'upload-id' stored anywhere. First of all the storage for the data

I'd drive or take a train if I could avoid flying. Unfortunately, I live on an island, not much I can do except take a plane if I want to visit family in the continental US. I pretty much have to do what they want or be stuck here.

IANAL and I didnt read the DOI paper, but as I think you are mostly right. I think the DOI can require that a solution must be compatible with or have the same features as Microsoft's solution. However, they cannot say the solution MUST be

Just out of curiosity, what would happen if someone e-mailed you something with a title of 'Here are the files you requested about [illegal stuff]' and include an attachment with encrypted contents. Then say I notify the cops about your 'il

I just use spamgourmet.com. My procedure is usually: 1) go to: spammysite.com 2) register as: spammysite.[username]@xoxy.net (or one of their other domains, they have a bunch ) 3) get up to 5 emails from the site, the rest just get erased (

Should really be 'IM Etiquette', this has happened to me, and I'm sure many others, in other IM networks as well. He hits the nail on the head on the rest of the article though.

Just a little anecdotal evidence here, but I also saw Alice , Avatar and Clash of the Titans , and both Alice and Clash gave me headaches, but Avatar did not. Actually I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar 's 3D experience. Just my .02 ce

I did the same with openfiler, has worked well for about 4+ years. It has 4x400GB in RAID5 which gives 1.2TB of storage. I've been planning an upgrade to 4x2TB for a 6TB RAID, but I haven't had the time or the $ for the upgrade. I used some

How about a service that for a couple of $ a month ( or free ) people can forward their nigerian spam and your process 'has a conversation' with them wasting their time. If you get enough people into this it will slow down their scamming a

It's interesting to see when a new anti-virus comes out how the product is streamlined, fast, unobtrusive and the emails are friendly. As a few years go by they all tend to turn into 'marketing machines', they are no longer interested in ma
