They'd have to offer me more than 5gb for free if they want me to give up my Dropbox.
What with the recent Dropbox mobile app give-away, linking my account to Twitter, posting a spam tweet, deleting spam tweet, completing their 'training', getting a couple of friends to join... I have 8gb for free.
If Google could match that 8gb and provide typical Google upload and download speeds, I would swap. Dropbox is too slow at time.
As for privacy: what the fucking hell are you lot storing of free sites like this? Just stick MP3s, AVIs, MKVs, and MP4s on there. If you must store documents, encrypt.
And that almost sounds like preaching to the choir. Something no one on here should be doing.
I was warned off taking things too quickly by a very close female friend. I trusted her fully but went against her judgement three days later. I too had been bitten in the past but I ignored myself as well as my friend.
Biology plays games with the mind. You can reason with yourself time after time but mother nature takes over. I even feel this is true for women forgetting to take the pill - I believe the unconscious mind is more powerful than we'd all like to think.
Even after ignoring all that advice, we're still happily together after 15 years and neither of us see this changing.
Fuck bars BTW. They're useless for meeting people. They're too noisy and the booze doesn't help. Friends of friends of friends is the only way. There's no shame in taking cast-offs either.
I broke a bone in my foot. A week after the event, when I felt it wasn't just a simple knock, I went to the doctors. He told me the break would have healed itself after four days and there was nothing he could do. I understand it wasn't fully healed but is there really any need for this putty?
My foot is 100% fine today.
Also broken my lower jaw in 3 places, upper in 2, and nose, over three different occasions. Liquid food for ten week is not nice.
I tried NoScript for a week and had to give up. When a site is loading 20 JS includes, how do you know which ones to allow for functionallity, and which ones are trackers and ad-servers?
Block them all!
Only you can't block them all as that often blocks content. That was probably the final straw for me - the blocked content - Google showed me a page I needed, and yet after loading the page, only the H1 headers were displayed, as the rest was generated by JS. That fails the "Dad test" every time.
I hate them too, but am forced to use them on certain forums. The other users get frightened by URLs that are over 10 characters long, and I get cussed. Ever seen a Google URL to an image on their image search? Over 400 characters and they do look ugly. It could take up the whole post.
It's just as quick and easy to use. Install the Firefox addon, right click, copy.
But I hate them. I hate the to the point where I've complained about the BBC using them. What with having to pay them, and all that.
Maybe the user's friend, who's not me, uploaded something there, forgot about it for years, and now thinks it might be a good idea to delete it, but can't.
The user's friend has an unsolvable problem and he's worried.
Mine was a tiny event. Very close friends, only family that talk to us. No grandparents, no uncles, no one who just likes a free day out.
35 people witnessing _our_ day was perfect.
Married at 12:00pm. All done by 4:00pm. The evening to ourselves. No one drunk. No one arguing. No tiredness. No excess. No shite music. No debt to pay off over the next ten years.
That 10% figure was dismissed last year. The true figure is 1%.
I was fed the 10% figure at school. It led to "3 people in this room are gay", which led to abuse of the timid. That 10% figure caused problems for too many years.
Just like the Simpson's tra-map-poline joke, if you want something stolen in my neighbourhood, you add a padlock and chain.
I have no light or even a fence at the bottom of my garden. All the garden tools are left where they fall (against a wall, normally) and yet they've never been stolen.
Everyone else's sheds and garages are broken into yearly.
Maybe the criminals are afraid of my dark and open garden?
It's actually the stone flint pathways that puts them off. They're noisy to walk on.
Reverse kudos for hiding it on BBC2. And double rant at the BBC for putting it on BBC HD, not BBC1 HD. Most people don't even know there's a second BBC HD channel.
It doesn't matter. Hidden virus, in your face virus, trojans, worms and shitware.
Whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, or your computer in this case.
That's what I tell the salesman in PC World when I purchase laptops for the family. They have no answer to it.
MSE is a good choice. I haven't had an infection in years. Online scanners for the files I don't trust fully - why scan with one when you can scan with 30?

Give the man a break.

I wondered the same.
They can normally tell if a fire was started by an arsonist by finding accelerant residue, such as petrol.
I know this thread has been about giggles but one thing seems to have been missed.
Its been proposed that the elephants are sterilised first.

They're a phisher's dream.
Only the mainstream media have it wrong again.
To destroy someone is to fuck them.
destroy = fuck
"I would totally distroy that bitch" - I'd fuck her until she couldn't walk.
It has nothing to do with partying. It is never used for physical things, unless your really mean destroy

I'd recommend that type of wedding to everyone.
It's our 15th year of being together
All countries are shit. Some are shittier than others.
I got this link from the BBC News site. It just displays the headers (something most of us could do, I know):

My number did not appear. I'm on Tesco, who are a reseller for O2.
That's twice in a week I've seen that 10% figure on Slashdot.
It's wrong. Proved wrong. Many times proved wrong.
Try 1%, statistically.
This week, is the Harry Redknapp tax trial, a reporter was found to be tweeting a jury member's name and other information.
Tweeting in court was banned at that point.

Vanilla Android does that.
It does in my country.
Really.
I write a song. I sing the song. I upload it to Megaupload for my fans.
What's that got to do with stolen goods?
Bravo, good man. Bravo.
"stop treating sex like it were a round of golf"
mmmm, 18 holes.

48kbps up is hardly maxing my connection.
It's the amount of requests, not the bandwidth.

Murdoch is quite able to police his own newspapers. Google should be expected to do the same for the internet.
Seriously, "Murdoch supports SOPA" should be on these strike sites if public support is needed.
Complete with spelling mistake!
That would be a Slashdot first!
Paid.
