Yes, but that's no different from encrypting a file locally using truecrypt/pgp etc and then uploading that. The problem is that Dropbox can't offer seamless encryption while still having lazy file sharing.

After various UK government departments lost just about every USB key some new rules were introduced about how they had to be encrypted. Naturally this was hidden in a procedures manual several 1000 pages long. But because the procedure dea

Depends who you are. If you're MSFT, IBM, etc then you don't even send a no thanks letter, you have nobody who isn't a certified HR person talk to a candidate and you don't allow any off the cuff remarks. The lawyer target cross section is

Of course there is a flip side, if you interview 100 programmers in a small high tech town and piss off 99 of them by not even sending a 'no thanks' letter. And each of them tell all their friends that you are an a-hole, then when every pot

You don't have any company lawyers do you? Most companies in the land of the lawyer don't even send rejection letters, just in case the candidate decides that it contains some grounds to sue you over. It doesn't even have to be good grounds

If the flake is 10m long it weighs many tons, adding 75kg of climber in the same gravity direction is negligible. Putting a torque on the rock along the breaking line is a different story. (probably more like 50kg for skinny zero % body fat

The dropbox business model doesn't really work for encryption. They hash files and avoid storing multiple copies of the same file, this is great for our business - we can 'instantly' upload large files if another user on our system already

I think programming is becoming a science. Computer programming used to be applied maths. You followed the correct lemmas in the language and if you didn't make any errors you had a correct program. Now there are so many layers of indirecti
