This.
Don't know about this new version, but I tried btrfs on ubuntu a few months ago, on a box I use mostly with photo and video editing software. It was slow to the point of being completely unusable. Specially for non destructive photo editing, where the software creates and modifies (replaces) small files with metadata for each action you perform on the images. Have being using ext4 since then, and everything is ok.
Exactly what I was thinking. Here in Brazil these kinds of ATM robbering using explosives make the news at least once a week, but I can't remember hearing even once that they were after customer data. Actually I ever thought that the ATMs were more like dumb terminals to start with. There's no need to store any kind of customer data on them.
As for the robbering, what banks are doing is to mark the bills with ink when the ATMs are forced open, and there's even regulation in place that say people and commerce should not accept marked bills.
Seconded. Support is terrible, my mysql databases got corrupted several times a month because server crashes or shutdown, and they warned me that my account could be syspended because I was hosting a collection of about 30k images (all photographs made by me and others for our website, mind you). There you go with their "unlimited" plan.
I still have an account with them, but just because I couldn't find the time to fully migrate over to a new host. Now I use Slicehost and couldn't be happier. At least they state their limits and honor them.
I was in the same situation: using linux at home and windows on the company provided notebook, with default company stuff.
One day I took the initiative, formatted the notebook with ubuntu and put a kvm/qemu windows vm for the company stuff that didn't run on linux.
Now I can use linux for most of my work and when anything goes wrong I just switch to the windows vm, for which I can get support from the company helpdesk. Just for the record, I haven't need to use that vm for several months now, and on the other hand, 2 or 3 more people on the company are using linux because they saw what I did.

Their website (http://www.projectviking.org/equipment) says:
"Equipment
We innovated upon and continued the trend of low-cost flight platforms, building our craft entirely from off the shelf components for close to 75 dollars."
Also, they say they had sponsorship for the GPS unit and Helium.
>>Amazon is establishing a separate cloud drive for each user
Then there's this funny thing called data deduplication, that I'm sure amazon is using on their storage systems. This could mean that if you and I upload the same MP3 file to our individual personal cloud drives, they'll end up being physically stored as a single set of 0's and 1's at the lowest level. Where do you draw the line on this?

Seconded, although I'd rather have Kotoko.
