http://goo.gl/rIh07 [goo.gl] Backblaze backs up your data on your computer for $5 or less a month for unlimited storage. It has a free trial so you can see how it works, and has options for backing up which files you want as well as upload speed and scheduling and backing up from external hard drives.
Unless he has data caps, this is actually a very easy solution. The initial upload will be huge though (but they even calculate the amount of time that takes too). I use it for my computer, and it helps when I accidentally delete a file.
As long as I have my username and password even if I lost 100% of my computer (and in the case of movies and music the discs) in a freak accident and I get a new computer, I still have my games. Granted it has to download again, but it's still accessible. Steam doesn't have money issues at all either, they aren't tanking due to piracy because their service is actually EASIER AND MORE CONSUMER FRIENDLY THAN PIRACY: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114391-Valves-Gabe-Newell-Says-Piracy-Is-a-Service-Problem
Can you imagine what would happen if something like Steam went into the media content provider part as well? Whoever makes it will make loads of money, but it certainly won't be the MPAA making it. The cat's out the bag already with iTunes, and they don't want it to happen again.
I suggest setting this setting. It will load the tab only when you click the tab itself, making loading a lot faster (and this only works only when you restore tabs on the first launch).
Many game developers are fed up with PC piracy and feel they are in a lose-lose situation and they don't want to choose between DRM-laden software or Internet activation... these companies (maker of Crysis comes to mind) vow to develop more heavily for the "console" platforms (XBox, etc.) because piracy is less common there. Of course, if Crysis 3 is console-only, people will probably go the extra mile and modify their boxes and pirate it anyways, but that's beside the point. The point is, game devs (along with authors and other artists) have manned up for ages and when piracy becomes an issue for them, they find a solution that doesn't involve hundreds of frivolous lawsuits that is harming everybody with its costs in tying up our legal system.
I wonder how Steam is... It should be tanking and going out of business with all this piracy...
You're free to use Dropbox with Truecrypt you know. The initial upload will be huge if you make it use up all your space but syncing will be fast afterwards.
With the first ESR release (which will be Firefox 10), comes the Firefox 3.6 end of life announcement.
ESR stands for extended support release. Which means it will lag behind in updates to the main version but be updated only for security/stability reasons, just like Firefox 3.6.
This is what people were asking for right...? A stable version of Firefox that will be updated about every year instead of every 6 weeks?

So SIP isn't supported on Linux? Really? I'm sure Ekiga works as well as loads of others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software#Free_and_open_source_license_2

Try it yourself and see if it is better or worse.
The point is to know whether it's faulty now at the time of arrival rather then 2 weeks down the line where it becomes a problem.

They did. Authors must explicitly disable an add-on now.
Except they did since version 10.

Hey you, it's called something like Steam.
As long as I have my username and password even if I lost 100% of my computer (and in the case of movies and music the discs) in a freak accident and I get a new computer, I still have my games.

Fine. Let's take it a step up:
Court fines and successful injunctions against Google relating to copyright infringement. With links to said cases.
Innocent until proven guilty, I believe that is what America is all about, right?

Tree Style Tab has that option in an addon.

You are aware that Firefox 10 has a LTS release right?
I got 2 letters for you about development that will tell you why he does that:

History is history. PR and marketting be damned!
Quoting this: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2689135&cid=39140499
So the DRM consists of some code(which they send you) that uses a key(which they send you) to decrypt an encrypted video(that they send you).
Without TPM/code signing, I'm not sure why they even bother.
If they implement it in Javascript the encryption algorithm is given too...
Yeah that sounds smart.
Google does this now. So does Google Analytics. So does Project Wonderful, another ad service.
You have to update the script code on the page though, and in some cases, specify you want asynchronous loading.
I have to find another linux that gives me just a shell and apt-get and some more.

No, a better idea would be a FOIA request for data.

Link warning: opening this will max your internet connection to load certain websites from the title, so don't open it unless that is your intention.
I'd like to know how they propose to "battle online piracy" without draconian laws.

There's an app for that (for Android) that allows you to boycott companies that support SOPA by product with a scan of the product.
There is also a Chrome addon that does the same except with websites: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gagmjmoimnkgoijihaaeodbefhcapjcj?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
And in case this passes there are add-ons already out that will bypass SOPA: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/desopa/

And Noscript already works on the latest Firefox.
I'll celebrate when netcraft confirms it.
