   Napkin-cryptographic way how Dropbox could fix this while still getting full deduplication: currently, when the client discovers that a file has been added locally, it sends hashes of 4MB blocks, and the server considers the file added. Add

   What kind of unique book is that? (The topmost book on the pile beside my bed being Vellum by Hal Duncan has nothing at all to do with the question ;)

   Thanks for the pabbrev hint. Sometimes, Emacs reminds me of games like Diablo. Half the fun is in finding new pieces of equipment and trying them out. Like image-dired, ibuffer, yasnippet, ...

   I trade registers and the help system (especially hyper-apropos) for narrowing and spellchecking.

   I use EncFS, a FUSE plugin, to store slightly-more-sensitive data and access it from MacOS and Linux. Works for me.

   Of course I assume that I eventually notice the theft of a USB stick on which I put enough information for Dropbox to sync my entire tree. Does the article say that I can't revoke a machine's access via the web interface once the config.db

    I don't think anyone would want to buy my account for $78. That's a pair of headphones or a big harddisk or nine months of Dropbox.

    The rewards of owning a high-karma account are limited. You don't get to upvote a frontpage item more than once (or do you? not at 780). Your comments may receive an occasional fanboy upvote, but that only creates more karma and doesn't shi

    What I like most about Wikipedia is the random reading binges, where you get from History of Lithuania to Glass Onion (Beatles song), stop by at surface-to-air missiles and finish with the Carlsberg brewery. Perhaps print-on-demand unique p

    If the harm only consists of something like a permanently reduced ability to concentrate or trouble falling asleep ( which I don't claim it does ), then we'd only have noticed that people get dumber and pupils don't learn like they used to.

    I'm starting a business in Regensburg, what kind of car should I get? VW Transporter or Citroën C6? Sorry to mock you, but usually the best DB depends on what you're going to do with it. More reads or more writes, whether replication, etc

    I don't believe that “officials had underestimated the time and effort required to develop and integrate the F-35's software, which is an order of magnitude more complicated than code found on board the Air Force's F-22 Raptor.” supports th

    Thanks for suggesting this, as it points out that people come to HN with different mental taxonomies. My fixed-tag system would subsume three of your tags into "startup business advice and paypal alternatives", whereas "hacking" would have

    The article is from 2007, the syntax extension you mention is from GSoC 2008. And I think it's legitimate to attack a language's out-of-the box features even if someone somewhere has written an optional parser extension to address the probl

    Hasn't also VMWare announced some kind of Android hypervisor recently? In that case, I feel that a product by a small startup may have trouble getting enough attention if it is also closed-source. (But beware of taking business advice from

    org-mode can export HTML and LaTeX (and many more). However, I would not describe it as "hotkey-friendly", rather as "hotkey-happy".

    Nice. I sometimes wonder why I have to write my formulae as one line into one tiny window when I have a full-HD screen on my desk. The simplest example on your examples page consists of a Python program with a function and a for-loop. Perha

    Can unprivileged users install hardware drivers on Windows? Really? (Honest question; I'm not a Windows admin). This exploit uses a kernel-level buffer overflow during the initial device handshake, completely circumventing user privileges.
