Been using it for awhile, works great windows, Linux and Mac. Also you don't have to place files in the dropbox folder, you can choose what folders to sync and backup. The also have zero knowledge of your files, which I find reassuring.
A properly laid mine field will not suffer from sympathetic detonation of another mine. Most mines are placed 5 meters apart or more. Artillery is effective against certain types of mines, ones with trip wires or tilt rods, even then I would hesitate going in unless under a more serious threat (ie direct fire).
A single mine with a remote detonator is barely effective. The whole point of a mine is place it, and forget it. If you need someone (or 2) to babysit it cuts into you combat effectiveness.
Many modern anti-personal mines have a time that the mine is active. After 2 weeks it goes inert, or explodes in place.
Being an ex Combat Engineer, clearing minefields in Bosnia I can see the benefit of this technology. It could be a quick way to determine if a field is 'clear' or needs further investigation. Large scale offensive attacks, you can spray this over the battlefield and know shortly if it is clear.
Airbags sure aren't leading to less accidents. I guess traction control and the like are probably helpful, but I would also guess that a significant contributor is better standards for the construction of roads (better sight lines, etc.).
Better construction of roads? At least here in the USA they kinda suck. I miss the roads of Germany.
Consumer report test is misleading. All cars in America get rated for fuel efficiency at 55 so they are geared to perform best at that point. If they were tested at say 75 then I am sure they would be re-geared to get the best efficiency at 75.
Agree, Apple has been really ramping up 'alternative' revenue streams the last few years. The say it is for your convenience but they don't really give you options. Ipods (iphones) need Itunes. MobileMe is another example. There are no other real options.
Accept the cost to upgrade Ubuntu is FREE. AN organization with 100 employees with all MS stuff, figure at least $100 for a license of windows and $200 for word and such, you are looking at 30,000 to upgrade. With Ubuntu you just enable the repos and sit back.
Agreed. The AC must have hardly tried. Installed it on 4 laptops ranging from new to about 5 years only, and only once has a wireless driver not work for me. That was about a year ago with Ubuntu 7.1.
It is 25 years not 10 years. Although the payment will be lower you will probably pay more in the long run, than to just pay it off in the normal 10 years.
And the amounts is fixed to you income, so I think 95+% of people will be able to pay it off in the 25 years.

Reading through the fastmail.fm website, I see no mention of these things. I would be highly interested in extending privacy. The main reason I choose my backup company (spideroak) because they have zero knowledge of what I am storing, so a court order would only produce worthless scrambled data.
Um, if I judged ordered the site to be taken down then you have been taken to court. The court ordered the ISP to take down the account because they controlled it. If it was a domain the ISP as well as the owner would be parities to the court order (even though the owner my be anonymous, initially).
And before the free speech argument is started, all speech is not protected under the first amendment. For example it is against the law to say you are going to have the President killed.
I am sure google also made sure they legally required to comply with the request. I was unaware that fastmail.fm was an Australian company (assumed it was American since prices was in dollars, shame on me). International law does make it more complicated to get an account shutdown. But since the servers exist in the US can a court order that they be seized? (IANAL)
The court order was to deactivate the account. Not deactivate it and then activate it on another server. If a judge ordered a website to be taken down, and you moved it to a different server how is that not contempt?
But all your previous emails still stored at fastmail, would still be frozen. Also if you re-point your mx records to keep an account open you would most likely be in contempt.

I had my account suspended for this , bluehost is only for hosting files for websites

50 states, plus county and city taxes. There are probably well over 2,000 different sales tax rates.
A Grand Cherokee is not an SUV it is a Jeep.

Hey AC, The lawsuit was a cease a desist on including copyrighted software in his releases. Namely Gmail and other Google Apps.
Perhaps Sony excluded themselves, until right now.
Methinks the term exclusive can have more than one meaning. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exclusive
b : limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group
or from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/exclusive
single or sole
So the netflix was limited to one console (XBOX 360) whether by contract or just first entry.
They did have an exclusive partnership for about 3 months.

ANd that 1% of the CFOs that do, can still use Excel. If more people NEEDED the advance functionality then it is more likely to be added to Calc.
You can say the same for Microsoft. I know most sysadmins I worked with won't touch a MS product until after service pack 1.

The removed the ability to install another OS with the latest software release.

And these are moot arguments because in this case it was a gmail account. If it was a fastmail.fm it would have been the same outcome.
