As I understand it, the fact that Samsung is denied the right to present the evidence is because their legal team was so dumb fuck stupid not to present the evidence in the legal phase where evidence is supposed to be presented. Call it a technicality if you must. Nevertheless, the judge is 100% right to suppress said evidence on the grounds it wasn't presented on time.
Legal proceedings are very precise. Samsung lawyers seems to be very stupid on that one.
It depends the level of confidentiality you want regarding your data. Most of my data stored on my dropbox would be fine if viewed by some "bad guy". After all, my Resume is on monster... The really important stuff I store on a keepass2 file on my encFS which is then synced to my Dropbox. These are my passwords and other sensible data.
Using encFS means you're reasonably sure your data won't be data mined. Now, if someone with great knowledge and horsepower and determined to get YOUR files stumbles on your Dropbox, then you're probably in trouble. But is that ever likely to happen?
Ok, my question was badly worded. Everyone knows about condensation. But then why would you expect most of us to think about it before powering a machine? I mean, unless we've tripped on that one once or twice?
But Steve obviously does not work there anymore, which makes it again a possibility that everyone there actually is homosexual.
While highly unlikely, given the sheer number of people working there, I have to say it is a possibility. Very very slim chances but hey, if that makes you happy...
Dropbox is fine. Just store the encrypted view of your enfFS in there. And kaap another backup offline.
I mostly use Dropbox with a few scripts at home. That way, I can backup any data from my phone: Just put it in my dropbox. Whenever it's synced with my home computer, a script take it and move it away. Nice feature.
Nothing's left in my dropbox in the end. Works with all phones with a Dropbox app. That's a lot.
For me, i have use the cloud for backups. My cloud is a friend a few hundreds miles from home giving me an access to a VM with 1TB of data available. I do the same for him.
- no one protects from coffee spills or burglaries, for that matter
Coffee spills are covered by backups. Burglars don't give a fuck about my data, they want my hardware. Hackers of the cloud don't give a fuck about my cloud's provider hardware. They want my data. So, from a security standpoint, where is my data safer?
- people lose their machines all the time
Fine. See my previous point. You're better off losing your Android with NFC configured than losing your credit card. So far.
- download malware, and let cats sleep on their machines
Cats are fine on my machine. Malware, well, there is a risk. Is it greater than the risk in the cloud though?
There is no excuse for stupidity. Why is this on slashdot as news?
Because most slashdotters aren't from extremely cold areas. What seems like obvious to you isn't even considered by most, just because most aren't subject to the same conditions as you are.
Let me ask you another question in return. I think I deserve an answer, since I answered yours: Why do you think everybody should know what you think is obvious?
In other news, in other parts of the world, some carriers just do manage their infrastructure correctly and the prices are actually going down instead of going up.
So please, stop blaming the customers and start rethinking your now-stinking strategy.
Seems like a taxpayer-funded public-domain NASA video should be flagged "cannot DMCA", unless YouTube somehow doesn't think NASA is credible and/or responsible enough to allow this.
What makes you think NASA is any more responsible than anyone else?
- Keep shutting down all youtube videos that anyone asks for them to shut down. This is bad as we can see. - Not shut down on a simple notice and then be found responsible for ALL copyrighted content on their server. This is worse as we can imagine.
The decision is very simple: bad is better than worse.
You people are ignoring the obvious. Check the geographical location of the IP address. Check to see the last time the account owner has logged in. If the person has logged into his or her account within the past, let's say, few weeks, don't allow access. When the account has been dormant for months, then there's probable cause for restoring an account.
I'm sure that covers 50% of the scenarios. Now, for the rest?
Slashdot Mirror
then the backup software could create one job for each directory,
Is that what we call a blow job?

There will be an appeal anyways, so who cares?
hmmm next stop RIM?
The next stop for RIM is a buyout. Nothing else.
Your view of the world is amazing. I wish you luck with your endeavors.

Ok, my question was badly worded. Everyone knows about condensation. But then why would you expect most of us to think about it before powering a machine? I mean, unless we've tripped on that one once or twice?
I'm pretty sure everyone working at a data center is familiar with the idea of condensation
Did I ever said otherwise? You actually reinforce my point: Most slashdotters DON'T work in a datacenter.
Dropbox provides a useful service: it has clients for almost every OS and will keep stuff synced between all clients (desktop clients that is).
Samba or SSH of FTP doesn't do that.
Let's use the stuff for it's added value, not for its defects.

If I have no residential net access, the hot failover doesn't really help.
You'd rather have you data offline than online?
- no one makes backups
For me, i have use the cloud for backups. My cloud is a friend a few hundreds miles from home giving me an access to a VM with 1TB of data available. I do the same for him.

Almost forgot:
$ whois woz.org

Registrant Name:Steve Wozniak[...]
I think I could have the same result on all my domain names within minutes. Are we to trust whois data now?

Fuck Apple and all their shitt iFag dvices. YOU DO NOT OWN THE CONCEPT OF RECTANGLES WITH ROUNDED CORNERS! Burn in hell you faggots!!
Nobody know where Steve is these days. Hell is only one possibility, you cannot assert it as THE truth.
....but, sadly, doesn't.
(The other one isn't saying much)
Too soon?
+5, Funny says no.
here they wring their hands in front of Congress begging them to keep their paying customers at bay.
It works. Why bother?
OR...hire a legal clerk to vet just the video the automated process flags as infringement before it is forwarded to the ISP.
But that's not a solution that would be in Google's hands.

They basically have two choices:
- Keep shutting down all youtube videos that anyone asks for them to shut down. This is bad as we can see.
- Not shut down on a simple notice and then be found responsible for ALL copyrighted content on their server. This is worse as we can imagine.
The decision is very simple: bad is better than worse.
If Apple makes it that easy their security is worse than Microsoft's.
Wait... Microsoft has security now? I'm sooo out of touch.

We will have to wait to see if newspapers and websites start to use this measure of difficulty
Why would they? What's the incentive for grandma to see the Sudoku as '1.1' instead of 'Hard' ?
Perhaps, but how many people use Windows phones?
Eleven.
360% increase in a year! That sure beats iOS and Android flat.
