The site still appears to have been hosting mostly infringing content. Not a business I'd consider getting into if I had a wife/kid.

I am going to chime in with a similar sentiment. I also had bash configured like this for awhile when I realized it is not what I wanted. If you typically use different terminal windows for different tasks (e.g. terminal #1 for compiling, t

This begs the question of why Mega was so aggressively targeted. I think it's pretty clear. This was one of the largest and easiest to use file-locker services. I used it tons of times because it was so convenient and the free service was

FYI, you can also type "What time is it in CityName" into Google. My problem with Google (and this site) is sometimes I don't know a city and am only given a timezone (e.g. on the phone someone says "Call me back before 7:30 Pacific").

Should I give up everything to be a bus driver, a photographer, and move to a quiet town, leave the city and all of my skills and knowledge? If you like what you do just take a less demanding job in your field.

Is the wave-in-a-box thing serviceable? With all the companies that jumped on the Wave bandwagon I thought there'd be Wave service providers popping up.

This feels a little serendipitous considering that (spoiler alert if you haven't read the story yet...) safety razor shaving has seen somewhat of a resurgence in recent years. New (albeit small) companies have sprung up offering a new spin

I wish the political discussion wasn't framed around climate change, but instead was just framed around reducing pollution, improving energy independence and (eventually) improving efficiency. That is easier for the public to understand, a

I still use FF for daily browsing. I have Chrome installed and use it for webdev but there are some annoyances (like adblock not working very well) which keep it from being my everyday browser. I anticipate problems in the future, however,

I love Pirate Bay for pushing the envelope with everything they do. They have a lot of big lofty ideas but they often are unable to execute on them or they flop right after they get out the gate. Remember the time they were going to buy a

What would a "properly implemented tagging system" look like on a site like reddit? I know they have been rejecting the idea for years and intentionally went with subreddits to handle the growth, encourage small disparate communities, etc.

So this is kind of humorous that this guy is taking this personally and actually seems to think Stallman wants his kids to die, but Stallman really would do better with more compassion and empathy so people don't just tune him out. This is

I always found Anime piracy kind of impressive since they not only have to rip the material, they have to provide English subtitles, too. Which requires special expertise and is extremely tedious. And people do this work for free.

Right. If antibiotic use in animal farming is as high as indicated here, you can't just ban it without severely impacting the food supply. I'm afraid this problem probably won't get "solved" until lab-grown meat is feasible and cheap.

This guy asked for money for a project using 4chan memes and got abused for it. Not very surprising, they are a vindictive bunch and hate the popularization of their culture. Their wrath is even greater if it even appears that money is some

I've got one of the ball vacuums[1]. It is good (not great) and the value isn't very good considering the price. The vacuum feels cheap and the attachments are all a pain to use. It does work reasonably well for everyday vacuuming on a low

Huh. This reminds me of the FreedomBox[1] effort. I was always under the impression FreedomBox would never catch on because 1) they don't know how to make the software attractive and enticing and 2) requiring users to have some specialized

Twitter is slow for me too, but I don't see what this has to do with the discussion here. It seems like you're implying SPDY must be at fault, which doesn't seem likely. Also if you want to take advantage of SPDY, only Firefox 13 and Chrome

Perhaps they don't want others to hide their improvements and simply released the code to foster learning and collaboration. Id software uses GPL for their game engine releases as well. So I'm sure they both have their reasons.

Microsoft's request for FRAND pricing on patents related to mutually created industry standard protocols does not seem unreasonable to me. In isolation it does seem reasonable. You might feel differently, however, if all your business cus

Microsoft has used patents in an anti-competitive manner for years and have lobbied in favor of software patent laws. As you sow, so shall you reap.
