   If I were running a tor server as public service, I would be deleting all prior files, and deleting all logs as they are created. I would do this because I would expect at some point, LE might come in and confiscate the machines. It's been

   Owing to the neglect of our defences and the mishandling of the German problem in the last five years, we seem to be very near the bleak choice between War and Shame. My feeling is that we shall choose Shame, and then have War thrown in a

   It's a public arrest. It's a public record. Since when has the gender of an arrestee not been made public? Often times we make these records public as a way to protect the individual who has been taken into custody by the government.

   Yeah, I just don't see how that will do anything but prove AT&T's point and make the data users unsympathetic. *See all those hackers brought down our network! We need our caps and we need our T-Mobile merger! More appropriate would be

   That's not amusing at all. And in fact, what is more likely: competition on GSM will bring better service and more data cheaper to users, or a monopolistic single service on GSM will bring better service and more data cheaper to users. If I

    Interesting essay. I'd like to be in the room if Paul Krugman discovered he was being compared with Douglas Holtz-Eakin.

    How long before AirBnB offers some form of insurance, much as ebay started offering buyer protection. Related: how long before your home owner / rental insurance specifically excludes AirBnb type activities?

    I have certainly seen plenty of poor faqs, outdated faqs, faqs lacking what I think are needed answers. While others point to how "easy" it is to code up a faq, there are plenty of websites that are easily able to code up a faq, and still c

    I wish I had linked to where I found this. That's http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/25/faqd Linking there is probably best in terms of attribution, and it answers some of the questions others might have, including who is responsible for FaqM

    I did find this point from the original article to be very dubious: In fact, I would argue that starting with NoSQL because you think you might someday have enough traffic and scale to warrant it is a premature optimization, and as such, s

    The article is premised on the assumption we typically "own" our music, but I just don't think that's true. We don't own what we hear on radio. Anyone old enough to have owned a vinyl record, 8-track, or cassette knows we "owned" those unti

    I see this at many sites, including, most frustratingly of all, within Google's various help sites. I don't know enough Javascript to understand why that behavior is so often created. Is it so hard to respect the "classic" "canonical" midd

    Thanks, that's good (sad) to know. Right now, I use a combination of Rhapsody and Google Music to get The Beatles (from CDs I own and have ripped.)

    So, this may mark me as an old fart, but um, does Spotify play The Beatles? If so, I'll switch from Rhapsody. But yes, 50M users in a country of 300M does express a certain confidence.
