that's rough

they obviously only care about conversion and not validating the user before hand in (any) way, so brutal.

From verizon I got a similar answer they couldn't discuss my own account with me after me giving them my social and all that - wtf. i hung up and tried another service rep and they gave me too much of my own personal info with out verifying any of my personal details and anyone elses' on my plans, which is kind of scary (Wtf)

also i really really like the idea of daily backups to dropbox, with like 1TB of backups i need a solution, and this seems like a great one. thanks for coming up with that

cool - thanks. i almost wrote the same thing, alas... i had other priorities.

will defintely check it out, but if i dont like it... you might have some competition

probably wrong to post this here, but did anyone actually chose slipstream over meteor (or meteor over another framework)? can you let us know why?
This is right on point, what we should do is ask them to make videos of what and how they did, and get them to other soup kitchens, why help only one when they could easily help hundreds with a few youtube videos. I would even be interested in watching them

how does the cpu usage compare to vorbis? (and then to mp3?) i assume the variable bitrate uses less cpu, or?

(b/c i just have to have 40 tabs open, steam, and a mp3 player at all times)

Can I ask how? How do you have 75% of the traffic or 75% of the servers (as the article states), how the hell is that logistically possible?
What if it was a database that stores databases. mindfuck
Re:How to properly plagiarize a website on Wednesday June 26, 2013 @06:04PM (#5949435)
no, if you go to the home page, the first advert in the 2nd page says "100+ projects".

then from the article they link an early mockup of the clone site, it says right there "100+ projects"

Re:Nitrous.IO is now in public beta on Wednesday June 26, 2013 @02:22PM (#5947917)
I'm gonna upvote this, because i just got a free box. kind of lol at the hackers who couldn't find the link to the home page, I wouldn't worry about that.

One gripe is it doesn't show what kind of box it is after you make it. Another is no laravel+php box.

Thanks for putting go on there. Good luck I wish yall the best.

Re:Five Years of Stackoverflow.com on Friday June 21, 2013 @01:55PM (#5919768)
i personally hate it.

its great when learning a new api or whatever, but i've had 4 out of 5 questions (in 4 years i need to ask 5 questions) closed as off topic, i tagged them with the tags from their own site also. example: config file management question in linux, automation, automated-install closed as off topic.

it's just a big karma jerk-off

WTF is a .htm file, I'm feeling all nostalgic, I haven't seen one of those in a decade. I wonder what version of CGI those developers are using.

Seriously though, wow! that's really awful.
