You should post to the dogecoin or dogecoindev subreddits. I would hazard a guess someone there would be interested in this.

I'm probably switching to surf now. Anyone know a better option?

It's not easy to make them less convienient to copy. It is easy to outlaw it, though.

The 28K figure is acheived by counting multiple spellings of the same word. Shakespeare lived before dictionaries, so there was never a single standard way to spell a word.

Internet Archive is great. I'd like access to current creative commons works,though, not just public domain items. I'm trying to fight the copyright regieme, which prevents me from accessing the culture around me. Going back in ti

Tivo is a massively outdated business model. It's still relient on a time schedule run by TV networks. I'm looking for the modern equivalent of TiVo, something that lets me save and keep the content I'm streaming. Parent was

If the above assumption I mentioned wasn't true, I would imagine all these devices would have USB ports.

Hey do you know any more about Vodo? I can't quite figure out what their bundles are. Are the movies and music and games in the bundle CC? I see the Free Movies page but I'm unsure what the licensing terms for the bundle are.

But look at the arguments being held up by both companies. Comcast is arguing that Netflix is trying to get Comcast to build its infrastructure. Netflix is arguing that Comcast is extorting them for their infrastructure. Both arguments assu

What about bandwidth issues? I'd like to preload a film in 4K so that I could watch it without interruption. And lets not forget that Netflix's whole business model is binge watching, which means you could easily preload future ep

I know. I'm just frustrated by that. We're imposing random and artificial limits on technology because of an outdated business model. Imagine if the RIAA made a law that CDs could only be played sequentially, and you had to turn t

How about a sequential TV show? It would be a non-issue for netflix to figure out when you were binge watching and preload 4k video.

Oh, man. Thank you so much.

That's fine. Make a tiny download link at the bottom of the page. It would require little to no infrastructure changes. Let the 99% stream.

People espouse the benefits of FLOSS all the time, but I don't understand why no one cares about libre content. I want to watch videos that I can do whatever I want with. I don't give a damn about NBC shows.

How about smart caching? Why can't netflix automatically preload 3 episodes ahead in a show that you're watching? Consumers might not want to have to deal with HDD storage, but I would bet you dollars to donuts that they want 4K w

It's so frustrating to me that this is all based around the stupid legal assumption that we have to stream everything. God forbid your user should download something to watch later, to prevent having to redownload every time you watch

I think this is great. the biggest usability problem with Wikipedia for me is that I use it as a primer on a topic that I don't know about, but for some reason it is still stuck with the encyclopedia metaphor. Academic subjects on Wiki

It's important to note that this is to comply with US money laundering laws. There's no technical reason for this to be the case.

Thanks. Reading this thread, it feels like I'm the only one who has already been boycotting dropbox. Hopefully this news will lead to increased development for a product like SparkleShare. Lord knows we need it.

I'm baffled by this opinion. Comparing a voluntary boycott of Condi to the government blacklisting of the Hollywood Ten is so far off base that I honestly can't understand how you can compare the two.

by sroerick 13y ago
I'm sure since you're casting the first stone you boycott these companies? If not, you should try it. It's really, really hard. Have you ever tried living without search engines? It's tough. Have you hosted your own emai

I was in SF last week and visited the Mozilla office to see what it looked like. It looked like a locked door with a surveillance camera outside. I understand the need for security and privacy, but it was a little jarring to see it from Moz

Everyone says how great Google is for Linux, but nobody talks about how good Linux is for Google. Not that I think Google is exploiting the free software movement or anything, but Google would have never had a chance with Android without th
