I think this is a pretty cool idea (improving the likelihood of reporting rapists and ill-informed post-adolescents). But will it be able to avoid collusion on the part of those reporting? Multiple persons with an ax to grind (or just wanting to "tease" someone) could seemingly file multiple reports triggering the escrow's release. That, in itself, is not the problem. It's the consequences of free (or possibly anonymous) condemnation. I still think anything that improves reporting of (genuine) assault is a good thing. I just worry about how technology has an equal hand in facilitating asshattery.
There are two goods I would like to see from an effort like this: punish the truly criminal and better educate those poisoned with the antique ideals of past generations. I didn't have the best education regarding this (but it was better than most maybe) as a child and must frequently question my thinking regarding other humans. Yes, I'm talking about men. I prefer to be inclusive, but men are the fucking problem here.
I just don't want to ruin someone's life because of poor guidance (by parents, peers, media, educators, etc.). I expect that a small percentage of false-positives is to be expected. But I don't want to provide a means to facilitate it.
Even the most vile transgressor deserves to face their accusers.
Only US$1,000.00? That's useless. For those who study the history of code (in any klanguage, but especially C [or microcode]), this could be a meaningful challenge. But only if we're talking six figures. At least the really smart people I've been blessed to associate with are worth it.
They take all that commodity hardware and figured out how to make nice high-density systems for you. Stop trying to figure out how to do it yourself. They've done the hard work and (in my personal opinion) have absolutely outstanding support (before and after the sale). I'm just a happy customer.
Why on earth would you put information that is personal and has nothing to do with the performance of your job on company property? It makes that information effectively company property. If our employees just absolutely must do their Amazon.com shopping while they're at work (and effectively doing their job), they're permitted to bring in their own equipment and use the guest network.
I'd say the way people blast off from the green light like their in a Formula 1 Grand Prix* is probably doing a bigger number on fuel economy in city driving more than anything else.
Naming a server by its function limits the function provided by that server. A server may perform more than one function or may perform different functions over time. Renaming hosts and propagating that information reliably is a major hassle.
Earth's vast underground caverns? Oh please. If scientists actually tried doing this, it would surely bring about the end of life as we know it. The atmosphere would all be sucked up into these vast caverns leaving nothing but a vast vacuum on the surface. No, thank you!
If they want me to create more (paying) accounts, then they should have provided a migration path other than printing out my sub-account queue and manually re-entering the selections into a new account.
rsnapshot uses hardlinks between files that are unchanged between backups and full copies of changed files. Each "snapshot" will look like a fully formed copy of the original. It's all done using rsync.
To make it really work like Leopard's Time Machine, we need a way to create hard linked directories. I mean besides the obvious ones that are made for us. Otherwise you get massive trees of directories containing hard linked files (for those that have not changed).
What about Rod Stewart? The dude has a 1,500 square-foot model train layout on the third floor of his Beverly Hills home. He built nearly all the models and structures on it. It's on the cover of the current issue of Model Railroader. He takes cases full of supplies and tools on tour with him so he can keep working on his models. Now that is some serious geek for a star of this magnitude.
Without interference, eh? Yet another annoyance to deal with while flying: listening to some yammerhead yacking into their phone for the whole flight. I'll show you interference. I'm gonna yank that phone out of your hand and flush it down the toilet. Or tell the crew that the passenger next to me is holding some electrical device next to their head and it has wires sticking out of it and strange lights flashing. And it might be ticking!
Q: When will SpiralFrog be compatible with the Mac, so that I can download songs and video?
A: Unfortunately, those running the Apple operating system on their computers will not be able to play preview clips, stream videos, or download songs and videos at SpiralFrog.
We require you to be running Windows XP or Vista at SpiralFrog for the simple reason that Windows Digital Rights Management is the only standard available for independent music stores like us to protect the songs and videos as required by the record labels' licenses.
Windows Digital Rights Management is not supported by Apple Macintosh computers. Macintosh supports the AAC Digital Rights Management, but it is closed to Apple's own use only.
At this time, we're sorry to say that all you can do is browse our site, but it's a very good site, and you'll lots of information about all your favorite artists. So, please... enjoy!
Ha Ha. So take that, Apple. We'll show you.
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Anyone who believes the Windows DRM will make life easier for anyone is a damn fool.)

Great point. Thank you.
Thank you. This would be a welcome inclusion in the formula.

Receivers that transmit? WTF
It's http://broadbandmap.gov/ (singular)
Looking at the list of donors page, it has this curious summary:
I'm not sure how to read that as this year is 2015. But if this is all for one person, they don't seem to be hurting for funds now.
"0.000000035 kilograms"
W.T.F.
That's almost as stupid as using imperial units.
0.000000000000035 gigagrams
There. I fixed it for you.
You are acting like a controlling dickhead. Don't be a dick!
Quasi random my eye. That's copyright infringement! Unleash the hounds!
Exactly this. Fuck coding. Live in the moment for once.

500 + 20% = 600
500 + 30% != 1000

It's easier to just use rsnapshot.
