you still can share illegal files, and as dropbox does not know if you have bought them, they should not be allowed to delete them. even if you share them with friends.
they just do not want you to "upload" a file with only providing the hash. if the file is "illegal" or not is not given by the fact you "speed-upload" it.
don't they ever think about people who want a phone, maybe without even having a pc? and as multimedia-device the iphone could replace the pc for some people who do not use pcs very often. but if you need a pc to tether it, first...
> 64kbit is more than enough no, its not. 64kbit sounds terrible, and i cannot stand it with earphones. on a stereo it may be okay for spoken word, but on earphones it hurts my ears. i think everything from 128k on is ok. i prefer 192 for my music.
gconf ist horrible. have you looked at the backend? xml, xml-schemas, etc. the frontend windows like registry... bad enough.
best config format for most things:.ini Files.
Windowmanager: sawfish was pretty ok. metacity is crap. i haven't tried mutter long enough to say something. But there are a lot of good WMs to choose from, i.e. icewm (without panel), openbox, etc. Every one of them is better than metacity. crappy default settings, crappy multi-monitor handling, etc.
TRIM could be passed through to the blocklayer. okay the hole in the "random" data says "the encrypted area is only 86% of the disk" but thats still not much information.
they copy the drive. then they checksum the copy (and maybe the drive, but why on traditional drives). now they argue "in the copy is a illegal file". If you want to defend yourself, you can try to doubt the integrity of the copy. they will check it, using a checksum (or even 1:1 difference check) and they can prove: no, the drive was locked away, the image is the same as the drive content. now they cannot do this, because after the image is complete, the drive contains other data. maybe only some bits changed, but then you need some analysis which proves that none of the evidences changed but only some unimportant "free space". this makes it a lot more complicated, the court case will take a lot longer.
it does not work fine, because the ssd has more capacity than you can access. so you do not know, if some blocks are spared for later. but these blocks may already contain data. And you have no clue how often you need to wipe the ssd until the block is written again. maybe on the first try, maybe you do not get the block at all, because the ssd sorted it out because of high defect propability.
does it take any assumptions on where the FS starts? does it understand the partition table, or does it only work on whole-drive filesystems or only on filesystems on one big primary partition? what about logical volumes and so on?
just use a screensaver with password. oh, okay not very much security on windows, but on linux a good choice. 5 minutes after the last keystroke/mouse movement my screen is locked.
yeah, with sudo you just do "sudo -s". now you have a nice rootshell, without any further logging and without the need to redecide if sudo is needed on every command. no big advantage to su. but its easier to revoce access of one user without telling all users a new password.
i do not get, why everyone is surfing with a maximized browser-window anyway... learn why the computer allows windows and placing them together or even overlapping!

you can get an anonymous vpn for as cheap as 5 eur per month. just route all external traffic through the vpn-tunnel.

you need three.
two towers define two distance-circles. which will intersect at two points usually. to know which one is the correct point, you need a third tower.
if you need to break compatiblity, then add something, which gives cool new features. so the user profits from the change, not only the "network".
i think it might be the same reason why they used pulseaudio, when pulseaudio was pre-beta.
analytics is paying you money?
and grep "sometitle" index

your mailclient must be crap. when i get a bcc, then the name of the recipient is in to and my name is nowhere in the email.
CC = follow ups possible
BCC = no follow ups possible, even when useful
