If you don't want someone else reading your files, don't send them your files. I'm not really understanding all the uproar over Dropbox. I guess it's a side effect of becoming the established leader. They host my photos, some code I don'

Has anyone come across a calculation on how this affects the local climate? Won't this system be sucking 390MW of energy out of the environment to convert to mechanical energy? The effect must be noticeable. I get the same feeling about w

I've been using Clojure and Compojure this weekend. So far it's a big thumbs down. Documentation is terrible. Pretty sure I just killed a weekend on an over-hyped development style with an under documented ecosystem. Oh, and good luck fi
