Isnt Theo doing someting like this? You can buuild your own CD from source but if you want a simple bootable ISO to install with you have to buy a disk, or get it elsewhere.
Or has he changed his model since the last time i looked?
No, if you are a professional stuff doesn't 'happen', and downtime like this is unacceptable. Using your suggestion, if they were relying an off-site type of DR plan, it apparently was not up to the task, so they still fail. Effort and good intentions don't count.
Where i'm at, even if our primary site was wiped out by a nuclear bomb we would be down less than a minute. If our power goes out, we have zero downtime. ( someone will have to go find some diesel if we are without mains for more than 48 hours tho ). Extended down time is NOT an option here.
They are still amateurs, and this shows they cant be trusted to play with the big boys yet.
In my case, i only use drm-less files, epub or pdf. And i get them via my non windows PC, then transfer them via cable to my reading device(s).
One reason i don't have wifi on is i didn't want B&N to push an update down and break my device, like they did what the nook color. Cant trust anyone it seems. Ironically, my tablet i got direct from china is more 'mine' than the stuff from here in the states.
No, its called changing the ToS, which is legal as you agreed to them doing it. Your only legal recourse according to the contract you agreed on is dropping service.
You also held them not liable for damages caused by their service or lack of.
Face it, all you can do is walk. You have no real rights.
Simple encrypting of torrent traffic wont help, as you still make connections. If you connect to one of their tracking clients, poof, you are busted.
Here we have 2 choices. Both will monitor. Say again how you have choice? Our real option is 1, work around it, 2, disconnect. ( which isn't practical for many of us who need their connection for their jobs )
Even if im doing nothing wrong ( which i dont ) i still will work around it. Out of principle.
Well, it is great *you* have choice. Many of us really don't have much of a choice. AND once all large providers do it, where you going to switch to next?
That isn't how FN works. Its not a simple web proxy like onion, it's a distributed encrypted anonymous data store. Far different animal, for a far different goal.
But they are still vulnerable to oppressive bandwidth caps. ( which you will see starting to drop next as the fight continues. )
And not casting stones or predicting bad things, but i have been on FN since the early days, but i now have a cap, so i have reduced the available bandwidth available to FN via QoS

It should 'just work'.
For tech staff, it needs to stick around.
Notice its encrypted by default. Not a real concern, other than downtime.
Google has a clear track record of yanking the rug out from under people who adopt their non-core products.
Unfortunately it's a valid concern.
Bingo, its all in how you want to twist the numbers.
Well, this is America, you are welcome to your belief, even if its horribly wrong.

I suspect the story is either a total fabrication, or he's trying to get around some local restriction and not get caught.
Either way, i'm suspicious.
If they don't have proper backup generators, they have no business running a data center.
Like that will stop you from going down when caught. Just means you will have company when you are court marshaled.
This has bad written all over it, and i cant believe its even allowed.
Just dont do it.
Ever hear of the WTO? Enjoy your false sense of security while it lasts.
I meant nook tablet.. doh.
Be nice if we had a edit last post feature around here.

We have 2. Both are on the list.
Once they start publishing a black list of users, even moving to a new area wont help.

Live in a bubble much? Look out side your little box and you will realize its far more significant than what you think it is.

Music is only one small part of the true battle going on here. Having specific apps for specific kinds of media is not the best direction to go.

That full encryption starts today.
Don't be left behind. Head to a 'darknet' near you. I2P, freenet, etc.
Welcome to the club. :)
Don't buy books from those vendors, don't enable wifi on your reading device.
My nook touch hasn't checked in since the day it was registered ( which was required to make it work.. grrr )
