sounds great, but i'm afraid that this is the reality: http://haxe.org/forum/thread/2988

which leaves you back to your desk working :-(

The whole "ideas are worth nothing" never made a lot of sense.

crashplan is having a sale until tuesday, after that their regular prices will go up. http://b4.crashplan.com/consumer/store.vtl

i chose crashplan over mozy, after reading some bad mozy reviews (http://wonko.com/post/it_turns_out_mozy_isnt_so_hot_after_al... for instance) . I have the family plan and uploaded 200gb so far, their upload speeds are pretty good.

The only feature I'm still waiting for, is so you can specify different backup sets to archive to your local HD and to their online sevice, but that feature should be realeased with their next update. Other than that I love crashplan, especially the eature that you cannot disable it for longer than 24 hours.

You can also seed your initial backup, that way you don't have long upload times.

Does anybody know how this works for Europe? Going through the list at http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/a_agents.html I see European companies, but isn't the DCMA only a US thingy?

filevault & crashplan.com

i use filevault on osx. just remember that timemachine & filevault don't play along well. you will have to log out of your account to backup your home directory, defeating the whole timemachine purpose. i'd recommend crashplan.com in this case.

late 2007 mbp?

If i didn't have the three year warranty i could have thrown mine away:

1. the NVIDIA chip died > screen goes black: known issuse: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377

basically if you have one of those macbooks, it will most likely die sooner or later, if it dies within the first three years you're lucky.

2. the trackpad stops working > known issue: the topcase needs to be replaced.

3. cd drive stopped working... well.

bad quality basically. but i would probably buy one again, because there are no slim pc-notebooks.

yeah i saw that, but still. how much is my minimum share? i scanned their site and couldn't find any hardware info, perhaps i'm missing it - maybe it's not really that important since i get to use more than the minimum if the CPU isn't maxed out.

hehe, yeah i was in the same situation.

Linode doesn't say how much CPU you get, where other hosts (like vps.net) tell you. Isn't that an important info?

i hope you're getting a good bonus for that!

didn't buy divx.com when i looked it up and it was still free.

i bet you can find some small idea somewhere and create your own project, it will be a lot more fun and that way you'll learn easier too.

funny

same with me, everything with lyrics distracts me.

I listen to soma.fm "drone zone", mellow film scores such as revolutionary road, american beauty, monster. Or tycho "past is prologue" is also played a lot...

my 3gs stays at full signal strength even when i cover it with two hands as hard as i can.

hmm, quicktime plugin to view those videos, really steve?

isn't that the case with most jobs. At first it was fun or even just a hobby, but when you have to do it for a living it's not the same anymore.

Hobby > Study > Work > ugh...

maybe it seems like that because they're faking the bars that display the reception? http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/07/02appleletter.html

ipad images are "blocked" (or at least they were when it was released) and it seems like they're doing the same with the iphone. Well, apple won't allow google ads in their apps anymore...

the best time saver if you don't have a dishwasher: use throw away cutlery & plates. saved me a lot of time.

people that don't hate doing chores, simply look at them like a game. It does make them feel good, to have everything under control, a clean house, all bills paid...and i think you can train yourself that you will also feel that way and you will want to have everything neatly done. It's like going to the gym, if you go for a while, you will miss it when you stop going.

But i don't want to train myself to give annoying, boring things a meaning.

i guess it all changes when you have kids, then you have to do that stuff.

pretty cool idea

weren't old HTC and/or compaq devices with windows ce/mobile able to do video calls already?

what about this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gCTdRjBUPg from 2007?

nice video

well, that comment was not really related to smokescreen...just the general anti-flash movement.
