Tech-wise, it's a solved problem. I sign all of my outgoing emails using Thawte (now Verisign) certificates. The problem with encryption is finding the other person's keys. I have yet to receive a signed email from someone else, so I cannot

True, but one big "gotcha" to this is that there is no way to do a complete restore from a time machine volume. There is no iscsi initiator on the OS X system DVD (and therefore no way to select your TM backup for a complete system restore)

Seems to be very similar to Jungle Disk's business edition. However, I like that nasuni offers access to the remote data after one stops using their service.

In my opinion, browsers aren't a good way to test a REST interface. Browsers are good at GET, and maybe POST, but they are very limited for other HTTP verbs and can't really do much in the way of header manipulation. A much better solution

S3 uses a request signing mechanism. Each request is signed by the client and the signature is sent in the headers. Rackspace Cloud Files uses a token based authorization. Authentication provides a token that is then sent in the header of e

Generally when I hear the term "deniable" used with something security related, I think of something like the hidden volumes in True Crypt: something that I can't be proved to have. Does your product provide this level of deniability? I wou

Full disclosure: I work for Rackspace. I'm a fan of the web interface to the Rackspace-hosted emails. It's fast and seems pretty easy to use. IMO, it's better than Outlook's limited web client I have available to me on a Mac. You can get a

Yes, the non-repeating nature of generators is a little unintuitive to start with, especially when you are familiar with the way lists work. But, they are no more unintuitive that floating point rounding errors (1.1 + 2.2 != 3.3). Simply le

You are right, but Twitter (and, really, anything on the Internet) has the new feature of being persistent. Rumors in a crowd die out when more information comes to light. The unfailing memory of the Internet, combined with anonymity and it

Ozzie may be right, but only if one tries to implement Wave on top of the web. Sure the interface may be on the web (for some Wave clients), but the underlying protocol, from my understanding, works along side http. Similar to how smtp work

It sounds like what you are looking for is a Drobo (www.drobo.com). It has some shortcomings, but it is great for dead-simple backups that protect against hard drive failure.

I use git for a few small projects at work, and I enjoy it. This article, however, falls prey to my number one gripe about the git community: "You don't really want to do that. Do this instead." In some cases, it may be better to do somethi
