Why Google? Don't you tell me everywhere to create good content and to get good quality links? Can you be fair and allow me to link to my blog with "dofollows" ?

The government's position was explained in a court filing on Friday concerning one of the many interesting side issues that has emerged from the shutdown of Megaupload, formerly one of the most highly trafficked file-sharing sites. Prosecutors were responding to a motion filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in late March on behalf of Kyle Goodwin, an Ohio-based sports reporter who used Megaupload legitimately for storing videos. the government argues that it only copied part of the Megaupload data and the physical servers were never seized. Megaupload's 1,103 servers — which hold upwards of 28 petabytes of data — are still held by Carpathia Hosting. Goodwin's options, prosecutors said, are either pay — or sue — Carpathia, or sue Megaupload."

But, has anyone ever challenged Apple ? Can I buy an Mac Air, install Ubuntu on it and get a refund for OS X? Or even buy the Mac Air with no OS at all?"

I am working on the code (first draft here )

The idea is to block my blogs to anybody NOT using linux, for one day. If we attract enough blogs, maybe some people will be tempted to actually use linux. If only for that one day at least ...."

I have tried several public proxies ... they simply don't work. I guess a good way would be a SSH tunnel via a server in the US, but I do not have access to it right now.

I also tried to set-up one SSH tunnel via a temporary server in Amazon EC2 (too complicated).

Any suggestions ?"

I already had videos in Buenos Aires, Houston, Dubai, Helsinki, Seoul and Copenhagen, so I put all of them together in a Google Map that anybody can edit to add their own videos, until we get a map or the whole world.

You can see the map with the videos here: http://hombrelobo.com/mapas/people-watching-viendo-gente-pasar/"

eporue writes: "I've been trying some virtualization software like VirtualBox and VMware to emulate other OS. And they work reasonably well.
But can we do something similar with a remote computer ? Can we "emulate" it ? The idea is having a window with Linux, another with a remote PC running windows, and being able to transfer files among them.
Is it possible ?"
