Yeah it was. I left it for a bit and it got to 250MB, so I assumed it was uploading Library/Mail again. I should clarify and say support did get me to send various log files, etc. so it wasn't a bad experience at all - it just end

I love Arq 3 and have recommended it to several friends and family, but I ran into a problem and it wasn't fixed and I've had to stop using it. I re-installed Mac OS X Mavericks and then used Time Machine to bring my user folder o

I've been using it for several months now. I really like it. It's fast, and reliable. I made the move, and haven't (really) looked back. The spam filtering isn't as good though. I've had a few false positives and fa

It's an interesting app, and a really cool idea. However, should you be displaying the location of your users on a Google Map via your publicly accessible backend website? I'm happy for location to be sent to the server for workin

I'm a big fan of Fastmail, and I'm tentatively excited about this announcement. Missing CardDAV/CalDav sync ability is sorely missing, so it's good to see the developers talking about it. I'd also like to see (and w

Thanks very much for that explanation. I'm not a computer expert, but I'm endlessly fascinated by passwords and cracking. When it comes to picking passwords that humans can remember, what's your opinion on Diceware? Do five o

Is there any reason why you wouldn't use bcrypt + random, individual salt? Am I right in assuming that bcrypt would protect against brute-force attacks and salt protects against pre-computed bcrypt rainbow tables? Or is the salt basica

Yep. Though you have obviously worked out ways to game the system. It's happening more and more. For example, in Victoria, a group of five libertarian aligned micro-group parties (headed up by the Liberal Democrats) didn't lodge t

It's all published before hand. The deadline was the weekend, which is why we're seeing all the stories about preferences now. In the Senate, parties lodge Group Voting Tickets (GVTs) with the Australian Electoral Commission. If y

I'd pay extra for Australian located email hosting too. Or even a European option. Also, since we're talking feature requests: 1) contacts syncing via CardDav and 2) Calendar. Contact syncing is vital though. It's really a ki

I'm on my phone so couldn't see the URL. I thought it was a Kickstarter, for what it is worth. Great to see you're from Adelaide too! Keep up the great work, and best of luck. Really imaginative campaign.

Why does it have a monthly fee? What are the differences between the US and AUS markets that require Australian users to pay three different fees to use a payment gateway?

There are some manufacturers that take those limits to be over 60K feet AND the mph limit. Others assume it to be OR. Spark Fun sells GPS modules which can be programmed, and interfaced with telemetry systems that send data back over radio

I really hope other services start offering it as a feature. Namecheap, I'm looking at you. DNS web apps are a huge possible attack vector. Also, RE the Google one time use passwords for POP/IMAP. They are all lower case, alpha/numeric, and

It does indeed depend. I work in the media, so it's my job to react to what is happening. Information comes through to my email and if I miss it, we are behind competitors. Notifications at essential to immediate communication between colle
