The only issue I have with them is the removal of deleted files from backup archives after 30 days. Crashplan doesn't have that restriction (and also has a Linux client) although the Java-based engine is pretty clunky, and it eats memo

The first-gen action camera waterproof case was rated for greater depth. I used it in water a couple of times and didn't have any issues. It does feel like you might need to replace it every year if you use it in water a lot (and you h

If it were cheaper, there's a whole pile of applications I can imagine for it. $200 is a bit steep. Really interesting for a first gen- maybe it will lead to a range of models with different specs.

I'm sorry for your loss.

And many people accept this as if it's the only way to live- it doesn't really get challenged, since a lot of people don't know anything else. After living in Japan I find it crazy. At least I live in an area that has some de

Yeah, but then I can fit a kayak and two bicycles inside it. And still get more than 20MPG. Which isn't near as much as I'd like, but for when I can't bike to somewhere (not going to tow a kayak on a bike) it gets the job don

And this is exactly why I'm trying to find a new place to work. I finally realized after a few years that I need some real mentorship to be fully competent in a research environment (even after an MS), and four years of "trial by

No one is stopping anyone from writing applications by themselves and distributing them by standard installation packages on a website, like what has been common since about 1995. No one is forcing you to set up an open-source project with

Thanks for the tip on that attack vector- guess I should be shredding those invoices then.

Props for trying. I would like to think I would do the same in such a scenario but it does seem like a personal safety risk. Although I'd hope to not get shot over a bike, there are people who have been shot over shoes before.

I only have this issue when I run at night. It seems like intense cardio in the morning is a better idea with regards to lessening sleep disruption.

When that holographic storage media finally comes around, we'll just store a full copy of all of human knowledge in our pockets, and this won't really be a problem anymore. That's one possible solution at any rate.

Seven years of "learning" French in school. I was more conversant in Japanese after a week. French has two non-exceptions to verb conjugation "rules". Japanese has two exceptions. That was a lot of wasted time and I wish

I've been mixing cinnamon, ginger, and tumeric in oatmeal and juice blends every morning for a while, but hadn't heard about the interaction with piperine. Looks like that information was primarily based on one study in 1998, but

I'm currently working in science, and ultimately interested in science and entrepreneurship. I don't have a PhD yet, and the financial situation in science and with startups makes me pretty nervous. Is it feasible for someone with

Also the LD50 of vitamin c is so high that it's practically not possible to die from over-consumption of it. Not that anyone really would try, but I find it amusing for some reason.

Luckily not everyone. I've never used public transport in my suburban sprawl city in upstate NY, but luckily the roads are of moderate size, so I can do crazy (for America) things like walk/bike/run the nine miles to work, or

It always bothers me that there never seems to be any particular pattern in when an airline serves meals during long flights- sometimes it's based on the departure time zone and sometimes it's based on the arrival time zone. I thi

In the private university I work for (in research) the University keeps all patent revenue, keeps a portion of all grants, and requires the lab to pay for space- I was really surprised to find out how much went towards that. There's al

I think it has to do with intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation[1]. I'd be a lot happier if I didn't need to get paid for work- as soon as money is involved, my intrinsic drive/interest tends to evaporate and gets replaced with a
