God no, nearly every caching proxy I have seen installed has been ripped out because they break the Internet in some annoying way. What I am suggesting is a P2P self managing cache which isn't going to mangle Internet packets. Having s

Not a great deal of privacy problems, SSL content is excluded by default and you are just asking local peers if they have a binary matching a SHA hash. The privacy leak might be that you are surfing the net when you should be working, howev

I've never really understood why the browser makers don't build this in at the browser cache level. Lots of people work in offices and end up sharing links, it could be a massive saving for everybody.

I hate code names, they are meant for the developers but still get used after release. Then you get support calls from people saying "Oh, yes I've got that Lion computer." Stick with a simple number, people generally can coun

The problem is that you could never prove it in a court of law.

The timing of this is completely laid out. It looks too perfect and these deals take time to arrange and agree, they are not done in a week.

You might be unfamiliar with what happens after a corporate merger. Usually there is a decision to remove duplication within the corporation. If you were Elop next year running MS in Redmond, who would you lay off? The people in your buildi

I am sorry but if I were Sir Gates I wouldn't trust this man with my baby/company. The burning platform memo? Not actually turning Nokia back into a market leader? Microsoft need a left fielder, not a company man.

If you are a UK voter, please remember to write to your MP: http://www.writetothem.com/ Whilst it may feel like it does nothing. Its still an important part of the process. They get to understand the public mood regarding c

The whole point of this is right, its highlighting the government breaking the Internet. Content shouldn't be blocked, the Internet should be free and open. However without letting people know what's happening they will not compla

If it did I would be very happy. That would mean I would have found a news source even better than this one.

I recently read someone make an comparison between the introduction of the telephone and the introduction of social networks. How people had a miss-trust of telephones because they would take away privacy. Obviously what is needed with soci

You missed the point, the petition asks not to create a bill for a filter. However the current filter is being put in place without ANY law being enacted. The PM is threatening the ISP's into doing this. This is not a democracy because

That's a really odd comment to make. Surely automating the steps to deployment is a good thing. Git has hooks for kicking off processes, its extensible, deployment scripts don't alter the core of git. What's the problem with

Whilst I agree with your objectives and would love a tool that does this. I have not done so myself because of security problems with having .git in the website folder. I'll continue to use git's hooks to copy the files as I push

I think you need to read the email again. You failed to see his point. You are trying to create uniformity and conformance, which is not in our nature. Some people are polite, others are not (Linus for example). The working environment of t

I am going to point out that this article is making an emotional case to sell a book. We don't know from the anecdotal evidence of a 15min parent child interaction what that Dad had been going through. Perhaps his wife had just died? A

What we are seeing here is an argument about value for money. The consumers are not willing to pay more for the end produce so what is left is the creators and distributors arguing over their share. The truth is that music is not a valuable

What amazes me is that I read the original comment as just an explanation to encourage others to try. It seemed like a list of places to start if you wanted to make one yourself. You appeared to see it as negative...fascinating.

I feel that you are missing his point. There is a trend towards emotional populist content on social networks. It's interesting to you because it's your friends and it feels personal. However in a broader context its creating a society that

"before Google, no major messaging system supported XMPP or federation!" I think what we are seeing is the end of a poster child. Google has gone from being an engineers dream job to a self serving corporate entity. XMPP could have been mad

I think the awesome benefit of youtube is that you can leave direct feedback. Give it a thumbs down plus explain why. Teach your kids to do that and eventually things will improve. Just don't expect that of Disney.

I watched Idiocracy [1] last night for the first time. The story is very clever in parts. Certainly the description of a film that was considered the best because it was just a picture of someone farting. Is taking the style of Youtube to t

My colleagues just pointed out that the study of substituting diet sweetener for sugar in participants is flawed. It doesn't prove that the sweeteners are also having an effect. There should be a control of drink without sweetener or glucos
