On Star Wars Episode VII? I was going to say episode I, but it has already been done manually. Also, how about a technology that skips whatever isn't from the book in the lord of the rings and hobbit movies?
OwnCloud is good if you're willing to take the time to maintain it. I tried to use it but it seemed very bloated for my lowly Atom home server. Php and webdav, if i recall correctly. They should have made a native code lightweight sync server separate from the web interface IMO. Of course, if you *have* to run a cloud service that you control 100%, OwnCloud is the best solution. I'd mod you up but I already posted in this thread...
I see an "Allow local peer discovery and syncing" checkbox so it's not missing LAN sync. For my use cases delta sync and two step authentication aren't useful. So here's another shameless referral link: https://copy.com?r=pEmm98. Note that I just signed up so I'm more deserving of the 5 Gb bonuses than the guys above who already have terabytes of storage:p
Funny, I was going to pay for Dropbox the moment they dropped prices to google drive levels. But they seem to have lost the opportunity now. Don't you like this thing called "competition"?
LOL. Most certificate authorities are just saying 'here's what this guy told us his name is'. Basically worthless. But it's nice to have a near monopoly service that's no better than a self signed certificate.
Also, the laws are a bit idiotic. It's not like the ones actually exploiting the vulnerability will care that it's illegal. They need a whistleblower exception:)
... that "digital magazine" mention is the really scary part. That's wasted effort with a 98% chance they'll get it wrong. Obligatory xckd: http://xkcd.com/1174/
The real article would be titled "file systems with no data redundancy and no checksums are vulnerable to bitrot". That covers about any file system with the lone exception of ZFS when ran on a raid, maybe btrfs? and i guess some mainframe stuff.
However, Cisco should have kept their stupid mouth shut in this case, because even if they meant what you think they meant, they are only muddling the net neutrality issue further.
But most of the indies are also on PC, so why spend extra on another console? Not to mention my backlog of ps3 games;) You can keep your PS4, I'll wait.
Wii may have few interesting games, but there are almost no titles for the PS4 either. The sweet spot to buy a PS4 will be next year, or when you'll hopefully have something to play on it.
I favour commercial games under wine. With the NVidia binary drivers, a lot of them work well. Anecdotically, back when I was playing World of Warcraft I had better performance on Linux with Wine than on Windows:) Open source games are unfortunately just NES-era clones and multiplayer-only shooters. Open source can do much better than commercial at infrastructure type software, but the same doesn't go when making a coherent entertainment experience...
As far as I know the only way to get good gaming performance on Linux is by using the proprietary drivers on a NVidia card. Has anything changed lately?
As for most unusual circumstances, about 15 years ago me and the owner (and also programmer) of the company i was working for at the time fixed in 15 minutes a bug that neither of us had been able to fix in the last 2 weeks sober. It was 3 am and we were both dead drunk as we were celebrating someone's birthday at the office:)
When I do yearly oil changes and stuff like that it ain't worth going back home in a cab, or getting someone to drive me away, so I just take my laptop, find a quiet-ish corner and make a customer happy.
They're talking about the *other* layer of TIM, between the metal capsule that you wipe off and the actual CPU core. Can't access it without a razor blade.
Yeah, my needs are already above the norm. I could do with your core 2 duo for about 90% of my stuff. Heck, I could do with my 2009 macbook white for about 90% of my stuff.
My 2 year old Ivy Bridge Core i7 is fast enough, and will be fast enough for the foreseeable future with no overclocking. Neither Intel nor AMD will get any money from me for at least 3 more years;) Last time an overclock was meaningful for me was when I had a Pentium 1 at 233 Mhz. The bus was 66 Mhz, and that was the ram speed as well. Upping it to 250 Mhz on a 100 Mhz bus (remember back when multipliers went in 0.5 steps?) speed greatly improved the overall responsiveness of the system.

On Star Wars Episode VII?

I still don't want to display my real name on YouTube.
Oh btw, copy.com now says you can earn up to 25 Gb through referrals. No more unlimited :)
They should have added a "Hello slashdot!" to that line.

Interesting one. Does the sync work as well as Dropbox?

... I'll have to pay extra to get a car without a fucking touch screen?
Not like the carriers currently define it, that's fo' sure.
... will help me get a cheap unlimited cellular data plan how?
Wake me up when we have unlimited cell phone data instead.

How fast will it "biodegrade" while it's actually used to, say, sustain a bridge? :)
