The offer of bail money is a bit pointless if the judge hasn't granted bail. I know he's appealing at the moment (I can hear the protesters from my office) but it will be interesting to see if MM puts his money where is mouth is.

I'm assuming there are a lot of people from the US on HN. Wasn't it illegal (until recently - a quick google brings back this: http://www.buyusa.gov/egypt/en/businesslibya.html ) to trade with Libya? Would that not include services such as

Try rackspacecloud servers ( http://www.rackspacecloud.com ) - uses pretty much the same backend as slicehost (slicehost owned by rackspace). I find them cheaper as it's not a fixed cost, but pay as you go.

On another note, I noticed (through my awesome skills of deduction) that you're using heroku. How are you finding that? Is it easy to use?

The problem with this is that (AFAIK) there are no 100Mbps wifi routers around over here in the UK, so unless you want trailing cables or to have cables fitted professionally you're still only going to get approx 54 Mbps

They've only blocked the secure site for that domain name. Might be because the SSL certificate is still for www.getdropbox.com
