If people are googling for a brand which only has one product, then the sale had effectively already been made. This extra "advertising" doesn't actually bring in any extra users, and is only an extra cost for Dropbox.

Honestly, if I wanted to attract users to a PHP project, I wouldn't make the entire "about" section (also the only text above-the-fold for me) solely about Ruby.

You appear to be confusing how the law really is with how you wish it were. You just don't get to keep the data file and hide it behind more links. Why not? (A genuine question, btw. I'd be interested in any tested case law.)

Local hard drives, and I guess the (re-)install just boots from the network. You can customise the partition layout, but otherwise get a standard set of packages for whichever distribution. There's a choice of the usual Linux suspects in 32

Careful of the small-print: "The traffic is unlimited. If you exceed 5TB/month for the Kimsufi 2G, 10TB/month for the Kimsufi 16G or 15TB/month for the 24G Kimsufi the connection will be limited to 10 Mbps." My understanding is that if you

Deleting an email really isn't that onerous a task, but you are of course free to use whatever criteria you wish to judge a host. And as you point out with the "forgotten password dance", access to your email account gives an attacker acces

If your threat model includes hostile mail relays, you probably shouldn't be using bargain basement VPS providers. Password-reset emails are also easy for an attacker to generate, and no harder for them to intercept than the welcome email.

I've used Gandi for a few years on one project. https://www.gandi.net/hosting/vps The price was right at the time, and they have a few basic cloud-style features (so not just a barebones VPS provider.)

Just because the welcome email contains the password in clear doesn't mean that they permanently store the password in their database unhashed.

Also have a look at OVH's Kimsufi brand: http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/ i7 + 24GB RAM + 2TB disc + 100Mbps for €50 (they geo-restrict their plans, and I think only the French get unlimited bandwidth; UK people have to survive on "just" 15TB/m

/usr was originally only for home directories [...] /usr/bin popped up I wonder if this is the origin of the 'bin' user as well, because that's a design decision that never seemed to make any sense.

While they're at it, they should move /usr/src somewhere else (/var/src?)

Presumably if FreeBSD went down the same path as Fedora, they could also change the default partition layout.

To imply that Bill Gates' goals were "simply making 'all the money'" is at best intentionally misleading. Microsoft's unofficial mission statement from 1977 was "a computer on every desk and in every home". They aimed ridiculously high, suc
