Even still, if they're using javascript to decode the HTML, they're not really protecting themselves. Your app can just run their javascript and still work perfectly.

Posting something to /. on 4/1 spoils the joke :-)

Oh come on! Where's your sense of humor? A nice bit of levity goes a long way.

I have to say, nice choice on where to ask that question! I can't think of anywhere where correct grammar is more highly valued than /. :-)

I installed non-apple RAM and when the RAM was bad, I was in vendor hell where my AppleCare wouldn't cover the RAM and in fact didn't even find that was the problem. getting the RAM from Apple more expensive but it's the safest way to go because then it's covered under AppleCare.

Well then like others said -- you don't want googlebot to index you, use a robots.txt file!

Are you referring to the traffic Googlebot generates?

I know, I don't understand their complaint at all. Google is driving traffic to their sites. How is that a bad thing?

Or, if there isn't a coffee shop nearby, try a burger joint. Walk in with the kitten and loudly ask, "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?"

I agree 100%. They're still on my "On Notice" list. It will take a lot for them to recover from their wiretapping cooperation. That really says a lot more about how they feel about their customers...

RIght because we all have a flight or fight response to most email we send... (sarcasm). Actually the adrenaline would be triggered *after* you realize you just made a mistake.

All the filesystem can normally promise in the event of a crash is that the metadata will describe a valid filesystem somewhere between the last returned synchronization call and the state at the event of the crash. If you need more than that -- and you really, probably don't -- you have to do special things, such as running an OS that never, ever, ever crashes and putting a special capacitor in the system so the OS can flush everything to disk before the computer loses power in an outage.

What about ZFS? Doesn't ZFS have a bunch of checksumming and hardware failure tolerance functionality which you "probably need"?

Yer stuck in the middle of the intersection. Photo taken of you in intersection. No indication of velocity.

Where I am, the cameras also record a video which you can then watch online...
