What's DSV?

IA?

I like http://www.expandrive.com/, but it costs money (50 USD or 75 USD w/ lifetime upgrades).

You mean "ZipPy": https://bitbucket.org/ssllab/zippy.

What book?

Please explain why EPS is better.

Where did you read that?

HP synonyms?

And those "few better solutions" would be?

Hey, can you post some quotes from those at Craigslist who were against you using their data for various graphs?

If a camera films you while you are on someone else's property, then I'd argue it isn't an invasion of privacy since there was no expectation of privacy to begin with.

Also, it would be nice if you would identify yourself as an employee of Density when you post comments.

Samsung 512GB 850 Pro is $260 on Amazon[0], not $140. Am I missing something?

[0] http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-512GB-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-7KE...

Which operating systems? Windows? I haven't had that problem on Windows 7 x64, but maybe that's just me.

Make a uservoice post about it if there isn't one.

You can take a "backup" without powering down, but not a "snapshot".

How many other companies do you think would do that?

No, the mantra is actually "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

And yes, one usually installs easy_install to install pip, but I don't see how that can create a "very long dependency chain". Even when both tools are installed, you can use either to install packages.

^^ What an apologist...

That's not true. I have a 4G phone and was able to keep my existing, unlimited plan for the same price.
