    The new iPhone os randomized your Mac address daily so ppl can't do long term tracking. It's just one of the privacy improvements. Apple is really awesome about privacy which is one reason I use an iPhone.

  5. Re:Now release the source! on BitTorrent Performance Test: Sync Is Faster Than Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why everybody is like, "err, btsync sucks until you show us the source!" The statements about closed source are true, but all the other major options are closed source as well so it's not a good thing to criticize btsync on!

    I tried it out, and I liked it very much. I hit two problems, one of which is easier to solve:
    1) no versioning implemented. The client could get really smart about versioning in a later update. This is primarily why I use dropbox, even on a machine where the files stay local.
    2) my work blocks torrent traffic.

    true, nor do Europeans measure speed in miles per hour. the equivalence would be relating one Newton to the thrust imparted on you when you kick a football away from you at XX km/hr. presumably it's a balance-of-kinetic-energy equation. I challenge Slashdot to solve this eqn!

  22. Re:Units hurt the brain on NASA Cancels "Sunjammer" Solar Sail Demonstration Mission · · Score: 1

    for what it's worth for GP and anyone else who's interested, 1 lb thrust = 4.45 Newtons. I like this analogy I found online: If you were floating in space with a bag of baseballs and you threw one baseball per second away from you at 21 mph, your baseballs would be generating the equivalent of 1 pound of thrust. If you were to throw the baseballs instead at 42 mph, then you would be generating 2 pounds of thrust. If you throw them at 2,100 mph (perhaps by shooting them out of some sort of baseball gun), then you are generating 100 pounds of thrust, and so on.
