You hear about them, but where's your facts? We're a sizeable host that receives notices on an almost daily basis, and we've yet to receive a single bogus notice . In my opinion, the bogus DMCA notice issue is VERY overblown.

Sorry, but in the article, it mentioned a completely fraudulent complainant. While each host is definitely free to act as they please, if you pointed out that the original complaint was invalid (complainant info incorrect/could not get in t

Besides the fact that whoever sent out the DMCA notices would go to jail for 2-4 years (perjury sentence in the state of california), this probably wouldn't work because the owner of the allegedly infringing content (the person who received

Sorry, but your article is completely wrong, and your site doesn't allow comments, so I'll have to post here. The DMCA works very well for copyright owners, our users, and us as a web host. Here's how the process should work for an abusive

I'm sorry, but even though the money is the least part of the package, I need to correct you on this one: it's not $5,000, it's at least $10k (2 founders) and probably $15k. Saying it's just $5,000 is disingenuous.

You certainly have that right :) It doesn't really "bother" me in an emotional sense as much as I just can't read much of it whether I'd like to or not -- I'm not complaining, just pointing out that fact. But some people seem to find it mor

I'm quite OK with a lot of dark sites, but this one produces an insane "buzzing" feeling. Might have something to do with the gray-ish text. I couldn't get through the entire article even if I wanted to. I'm reading in a dark-ish room right

A bit off-topic, but Dustin Curtis' site really hurts my eyes reading on my MacBook pro... I have a really hard time reading his text, and when I look away, I have very pronounced stripe patterns in my vision.

just because the contract says that doesn't necessarily make it legally enforceable. plenty of contracts disclaim all implied warranties, yet there are plenty of situations in which that disclaimer is not enforceable (and liability is).

I read it as more of a cache -- the phone caches data that you access, and that cache is reset when the phone is rebooted.

Even if the rules aren't applied to traditional media -- that seems to be more a bug than a feature. Quit your whining. This isn't some grand plot to put the blogger down. The net result is that the FTC seems to have made a very good call,

They claimed in many places that their "pipe" was "maxed out". If the attack was large enough to use up all of their available bandwidth, that should be easily noticeable in any basic bandwidth graphs.

when Dave says "sell out early" (and says "firesales don't count), he's talking about sales < $250M as "early", not $xxx,xxx or sub 5M deals.

by drusenko 17y ago
Agreed. If you actually read the article instead of dismissing it based on its content, you'd find that Dave makes a great point. The Mint sale may not turn out to be great for Mint users, and it certainly wasn't amazing for (most) of their

yes, but even harder are the entire set of problems where the data is extremely interrelated, like Facebook's is -- making it very difficult to shard effectively.

The title needs renaming. (Currently is "Bad News") [edit: I didn't think the story deserved to "die", just for the title to be renamed]

unless, of course, they didn't do everything by the book, in which case the corporation could be found null and void and both could be personally liable.

Dropping the real-time requirement doesn't help. If you don't have enough resources to screen all of the videos you receive today in 1 day, your queue just gets larger and larger -- eventually large enough that an uploaded video will take a

It's not about retroactively censoring, it's about proactively making sure the content isn't there in the first place, aka monitoring, which would be impossible at scale. Also, monitoring would open Google up to even more liability: "We're

You don't. Consider this: In W07, there were ~12 teams accepted IIRC. We didn't have videos or HN. There are now > 20 teams selected. Without being active on HN, you still have the same chance as before, but those that are posting intel

Was just about to post this same comment. RAM is like telling someone to remember a 7 digit number -- they could probably repeat it to you right away, but remembering it in an hour, or a day, is a lot harder.

You can do that too -- Weebly has "Advanced Editing" functionality to let you fully customize the HTML/CSS of your site, and a "Custom HTML" element to let you place any HTML snippet directly on your page -- everything is fully customizable

Those pictures at the beginning of the article are highly deceiving... Placing them above that article makes it seem like those images -- with that resolution -- were extracted from the brain.

Whoever is downvoting this has likely never participated in the news making process. Traditional journalism is often wildly inaccurate, and most of it is spoon fed from PR agencies, anyway.
