To restrict Russian citizen's access to about 90% of the internet.
Yes, the big names might hire servers and staff in Russia... and cooperate with the Russian government.
But the smaller organizations? No way in hell they can afford that.
It's mostly another form of the Great Firewall of China.

... about the ones Symantec doesn't know about.
Also, I don't remember Symantec doing anything useful since like, forever. I remember them for purchasing Norton Utilities and turning them into a bloated mess. Should we trust them on this, or is their marketing department manufacturing a threat? :)

... just use a cheap USB cable from a cheap charger that only has the GND and 5V wires to save costs :)
No data exchange will be possible.
Might still be good to disinfect it after each use.

On Star Wars Episode VII?
I was going to say episode I, but it has already been done manually.
Also, how about a technology that skips whatever isn't from the book in the lord of the rings and hobbit movies?

I still don't want to display my real name on YouTube.

Oh btw, copy.com now says you can earn up to 25 Gb through referrals. No more unlimited :)
They should have added a "Hello slashdot!" to that line.

OwnCloud is good if you're willing to take the time to maintain it. I tried to use it but it seemed very bloated for my lowly Atom home server. Php and webdav, if i recall correctly. They should have made a native code lightweight sync server separate from the web interface IMO.
Of course, if you *have* to run a cloud service that you control 100%, OwnCloud is the best solution. I'd mod you up but I already posted in this thread...

I see an "Allow local peer discovery and syncing" checkbox so it's not missing LAN sync. For my use cases delta sync and two step authentication aren't useful.
So here's another shameless referral link: https://copy.com?r=pEmm98.
Note that I just signed up so I'm more deserving of the 5 Gb bonuses than the guys above who already have terabytes of storage :p

Funny, I was going to pay for Dropbox the moment they dropped prices to google drive levels. But they seem to have lost the opportunity now. Don't you like this thing called "competition"?

Interesting one. Does the sync work as well as Dropbox?

LOL. Most certificate authorities are just saying 'here's what this guy told us his name is'. Basically worthless.
But it's nice to have a near monopoly service that's no better than a self signed certificate.

Also, the laws are a bit idiotic. It's not like the ones actually exploiting the vulnerability will care that it's illegal.
They need a whistleblower exception :)

... that "digital magazine" mention is the really scary part. That's wasted effort with a 98% chance they'll get it wrong.
Obligatory xckd: http://xkcd.com/1174/

... I'll have to pay extra to get a car without a fucking touch screen?

Not like the carriers currently define it, that's fo' sure.

... will help me get a cheap unlimited cellular data plan how?
