JungleDisk works, but the clients are buggy PoS that crash/hang whenever they choose. I've also had JungleDisk's server daemon silently quit working & lock up on some servers, which is scary when you go to restore a file

If I, as an individual, wanted to invest in the Mexican startup scene -- are there any VC funds that function as investment trusts?

Thanks, that's a great answer and helps me understand. I guess there are subsets of problems where immutability is a good idea (anything needing state, 'Undo' capabilities), neutral, and a bad idea (number crunching, data pro
