  4. Re:Ok.... on Ikea Foundation Introduces Better Refugee Shelter · · Score: 2

    a) It is a prototype. Perfect fit is not expected.
    b) People tend to stay in refugee camps not because of the comfort of the facilities, but due to the fact that WAR still is raging.

  11. *BEEEEP* FAIL! on Hotfile Sues Warner Bros Over Abuse of Takedown Tool · · Score: 5, Informative

    from the faq:
    Q.Can I search the Hotfile server for certain files?
    A. No. Hotfile protects the privacy of our users. Only the person storing a file on Hotfile gets the download link. That person decides who should have access to the link. A file can only be downloaded if the download link details are known.

    it should read:

  17. Re:Doesn't consider tourists on Text Messages To Replace Stamps In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Well, the tourists probably have time to buy a stamp from the same place they buy the postcard.

    And it's more fun to get a postcard with some exotic-looking foreign stamp on it than a string of digits

  18. Checksums on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 1

    I can't believe nobody uses checksums...

    For raw files, I add checksums (an md5sums text file in every image folder) right after importing the images from the flash card.

    Jpegs tend to get changes in the exif data, so I add the checksums for those after the editing phase.

    This makes it easy to verify the backups, since the md5 files get backed up, too.

    In case of a corrupted file, I can hopefully find a good copy om my nearline backup HD, my NAS hidden in a bookshelf, or an offsite USB disk.
