I'm not really sure how related this is, but T-Mobile is also having an Uncarrier announcement on the 18th: http://www.cnet.com/news/t-mobile-to-usher-in-uncarrier-5-0-... . I don't think an Amazon phone annou

Difficult situation. I've already decided I will never move to any location, anywhere, where AT&T, Verizon (even FiOS), or Comcast are my only viable options. I hate all of those companies and will never, ever give them a single pe

Except said "competitor" is most likely Comcast who is no different.

You can also get 5% APY in FDIC-insured accounts if you're willing to do a bit of work. Rewards checking accounts and prepaid card savings accounts (Mango is offering like 6% on up to $5k).

T-Mobile, I'm guessing, as I have the same plan. Look at http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans . It's near the bottom, under "Pay by the day" even though it's a monthly plan. $30/mo.

Just for anyone else who sees that and thinks "WTF": it's 20M PPS across two ports. (14,880,952 is the max for 10GbE.)

Sue them in small claims court. The filing fee is usually low so you're not risking much. Just because the contract says "Google can fuck you in the ass" doesn't mean that will actually hold up in court. I hope the perso

Couldn't you use a credit card or other unsecured credit line? Even at a sky-high 20% APR, you're talking under 2% per month.

Seriously, if someone (a bank or whoever) was calling me _12 times a day_, they would never get a single penny back from me. There's a line between "trying to contact someone to find out what's going on" and harassment.

Tarsnap: Our costs just went down, so we're lowering our pricing for customers too! Comcast: Our costs just went down. Effective immediately, we are adding a new cash management fee to your bill to cover our costs of handling all this

IMO, you would probably be best speaking to an attorney. They may also be able to get more cooperativeness from the FBI.

It's always a matter of capacity. If there is absolutely no attribute you can distinguish it by, you have no choice but to handle it like normal. In practice, there is. If we're talking about an HTTP flood, the other endpoint addr

OVH uses Peakflow as one component of its mitigation system.

I've upvoted you because this seems like what they should have done. I didn't think about the criminal aspect.

Not defending MS at all but what is the alternative for them? What people want is the judicial oversight. But can Microsoft really go to a court and say "hey judge, we're Microsoft, we want a warrant for Microsoft to provide this&

Charlie of SA used to write for The Inquirier. He has some damn good sources. I cannot recall a time when he was ever wrong, and he's broken some big stories (things like the Nvidia 8800/9800 GPU failures). Out of all such rumor s

If Tomnod updates to include the latest areas, couldn't Google just link to Tomnod on their home page? It doesn't make sense to duplicate the effort IMO. Of course, they'd need to talk to Tomnod first to make sure they'r

Everything in this post is accurate. L7 protection at the endpoints (use 10GbE ports if necessary), L3/L4 protection in the network. And although I've never heard of the company, nenolod knows what he's doing. Suggestion for

I'm not sure, but if that's the case I wonder why Karpeles didn't go there (again presuming this attempt was made before the theorized 2011 theft).

I'm curious if this is due to Mt. Gox not trying hard enough. Recently a Bitcoin startup was able to obtain insurance from Lloyd's: http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/01/backed-by-lloyds-of-... . I
