I found POP3 access much better for poor connectivity.

Not true. Degree from top university is worth it, but otherwise nobody ever asks.

Perhaps we should start with interstellar propulsion system?

No, except daily snapshots. If I would find main version corrupted I can always recover old version a few month back. I I found bit flipping problematic only when transferring larger amount of data over network.

Lets talk about something exiting for a change, what is your personal backup policy? Here is mine: - I backup my online accounts every two weeks. Google has full export including GMail: https://support.google.com/plus/a

I think in this case it is more important they remind people of an important issue. Most people do not have any sort of backups.

Or I could just use my own server... Way more comfortable

I agree their policy is reasonable for filesharing service.. But it makes dropbox useless for me as backup storage or hosting provider. I would not trust filesystem or provider which randomly deletes/blocks my data.

Who says I would be reading it? I will just compare all that content with my hash checker, and delete all illegal stuff. Do not worry I use ultra strong 8 bit hash :-) It is user who has to deal with blocking, false positives and other nega

Would you please zip content of your hard-drive and uploaded it on dropbox? Also give me password from your gmail. I want to check if there is no illegal copy of my work in there.

My answer is in other thread, but in short my comment does apply even to sharing.

It does apply, there is no evidence that receiver does not have a valid license. It could be even the same person using two accounts. By this logic we should shutdown Github and SourceForge, until we "clear up some legal stuff".

It gets even more interesting if you use right to "quote" small parts of books.

Yet another reason not to use cloud services. For start dropbox is infrastructure provider and they have no right to snoop inside your files. If they start blocking stuff at their own will they are judge and executor. Secondly there is lot

Anything similar for android? Looks like nice project for hobby hacking.

I am on Kubuntu 12.04. There is a small problem with baloo indexer in kmail, otherwise it works great.

Replay tool is also for Java. It is called Chronon, is Eclipse plugin and was recently integrated into Idea Ultimate.

I meant Europe as set of states in EU and as a continent.

Someone asked me recently on Hacker News, what is wrong with free speech in Europe. Well...

Windows source code was available for a long time. My university had access to Win 2000 and some latter versions. Nobody was interested since most kernel hackers used BSD and later Linux.

Mainly driving and attitude of people. Greece is different... Freedom of speech is problematic in entire Europe.

My laptop has swapable battery. I can also swap HDD bay from my desktop when I am traveling. It is really funny to see Mac fans excited about simple external battery. This stuff is around for decades!

I have similar battery from APC. It is 5 years old and still holds most of its capacity. That super software is called battery calibration.

I spend lot of time in Athens, and I would say Istanbul is more european than Athens. Not sure about rest of the country.

It kind of sounds like 'No true Scotsman'. Could you explain what sort of diversity you miss in tech sector?

Paramilitary police is called "gendarmery" and they are used against organized crime or at outbreak of civil war. US did good job at Philippines with those units. Current SWAT teams are just bunch of happy triggers and robbers.

> So what exactly is San Francisco? When I came across a passage in the book, “The Annals of San Francisco,” about the 1840s Gold Rush, I found the answer to that question. So SF is bunch of gold diggers?
