It's made of cardboard. You don't need a laser cutter to cut cardboard. Just use some fr&ckin' scissors. Also, just because someone won't sell millions of these things, doesn't mean they can't source materi

Oops. You're right. I got my numbers wrong, but my point still stands. Unless your goal is denial of service (which this does nothing against), you don't need to make more than 2,880 requests a day. Most generic spammers (wordpres

Effectively, this achieves the complete opposite of what CAPTCHA does. It's a test that only computers can solve. A much more exciting development in the field of bot/spam detection is verifying the integrity of the user's

As someone with experience in both implementing and bypassing spam protection, this idea makes no sense to me. Let's say it takes the user 30 seconds to calculate proof-of-work. 30 seconds per sign up (at effectively no cost) is quite

PayPal does or used to do the same thing in the UK. Three years ago, I received threatening letters from a non-existent lawyer company when my PayPal balance went ~£50 below 0.

The dev FAQ should contain information on how to safely (and painlessly) migrate from plain-text/MD5/SHA1 to a more secure algorithm.

With more personal storage/NAS oriented features, a more desktop-like interface with file management features and this could become a nice open-source competitor to the likes of Synology. If this ever becomes a direction you'd lik

I should add that ZFS has some sort of weird IO overhead that has a tendency to quickly chew through most very cheap hard drives. If you use a different filesystem (I wouldn't), ymmv. Typical support turnaround for a failed drive at K

Kimsufi (which is a "budget" dedicated server brand from OVH) is great, just don't download movies/music from public trackers like thepiratebay. A few DMCAs and they'll shut you down. Private trackers are fine (not

How is releasing source code under a commercial license considered "opening it up"? All this stuff was already available to modders/third-party devs through the SDK program. The only news here is that they made it available o

The main advantages over something like a VPS are having a dedicated full-sized hard drive and being able to run any OS you want on bare metal (they support remote iso installs via kvm and vnc). If you choose a non-atom processor you can al

Winamp has pretty much been Adware since Nullsoft was bought by AOL. It takes time to get an old proprietary codebase into a state where it can be released publicly. It could contain poor written code, rude comments, adware, phoning home, G
