Edit your your /etc/tor/torrc And change the AccountingMax line to: AccountingMax 3000 MB This will reduce the monthly usage to 12GB and keep you under the 15GB limit. I've been running this bridge for a few months now

I'm running one of these on my free EC2 account and can attest to the ridiculously easy part. It took me < 5 min to setup. If you want to avoid paying any fees, just have to make 1 change to the torrc file bandwidth settings. Also,

If you are a big Tor user, I hope you consider donating bandwidth to help offset your usage. Recently they made an announcement that they were short on relay nodes. Here's some info on how to help: https://blog.torproject.or

I am no fan of the way CSS, Javascript, and DOM have evolved into HTML5. It seems Alon not only sees these problems too, he's finding solutions to them by working around limitations and politics of the WHATWG and W3C. Mozilla really lu

Thanks. Great explanation. Considering that the ASCII character map is arbitrary and there are so many great ways to test lossy compression algorithms( PSNR to A/B testing), this seems like a pointless exercise, but at least I see what

This "experiment" is garbage. No description of test methodology other than "then outputted the compressed file back to plain text." Last time I had to use Omnipage to convert some highly compressed .JPEGs, it blew me aw

Yes, it's true LV has its own issues. It's a memory hog and the UI is cluttered. Reminds me of where JavaScript was before V8 came out. My experience was very different from yours. I couldn't believe how simple it was to add

I actually prefer the mobile versions that let you set font size on mobile. For example, when zoomed out in HN comments to a level where I don't need to scroll horizontally, the text is impossible to read on low DPI devices like my 3GS

I love the idea of crowdsourcing your speed to generate real-time traffic information. The other crowdsourcing features this brings don't seem very useful to me. Also, not sure this is worth $1.3B. Seems like another groupon or summly.

Thanks for the link. Some great points there like: * Since 9/11 we have not had a mass-scale terror attack. We can say 9/11 was a one-off, an aberration, and cannot be a justification for everything the government wishes to do. *

Firefox will be less responsive than Chrome until the Electrolysis project makes some progress. FF runs everything in a single process, so a few heavy HTMl5 pages make the whole browser unresponsive.

Well for people like me who actually play games, we care about things like Frame rate, mouse latency, and load times. The day a browser improves on these attributes, will be the day it's a selling point for us.
