I just recently got google fiber + TV. Their onscreen guide and app is a tire fire. Its low resolution, its slow, buggy, lacks a ton of features the sat. providers and apple have, and support is a complete joke. Waiting 2+ years to drag fiber 50 feet to your house to get you hooked up? When service goes out taking 2, 3, 4+ weeks to restore service. Google, your rollout, support and commitment is OBSCENE.

CLOUD anything and outsourcing your infrastructure because you are lazy and/or cheap is a BAD IDEA. Consolidating services you no longer control to a third party means you've lost the ability to survive these attacks.

That doesn't organize your data. That just dumps in one pile. How do you *find* anything is the problem. The best app I have found to do this is called NeoFinder. It allows you to organize all your files in one application, tag them with metadata, create thumbnails of common formats and the best part of it is it allows you to store the applications library data file ON the server. It's the only app that allows you to do this, everyone else forces you to store it client side. Bundle this with a ZFS server and Samba and you are golden! It runs on OS X and Windows. It's not open source but I don't care because every other OS "solution" to managing/organizing/tagging files is utter fucking trash at best and a tire fire at worst.

Seriously, if you are not running BSD with ZFS by *now* you are hopelessly ignorant and/or just a glutton for PAIN. These stories just make me wonder who these people are? I come from the times when all we had was UFS and dump/restore, tar, and let me tell you it was PAIN! Managing data on UFS, backups, expanding partitions, was fun#$ing pain on a level you cannot understand. Now? Now we have ZFS, we have stopped pooping in our water. Best solution is get all that data copied to a ZFS stripped mirror pool pronto. Create another small box with another striped pool and zfs send/receive from one to the other. Create snapshots on the main box every 5 minutes. They cost nothing. And there are a ton of scripts out there to automate this and manage creation/deletion of snapshots. Storing data on anything but ZFS today should be punishable by death.

Apple treats its customers and its views of security and privacy versus google is astoundingly shocking. Apple may be a walled garden. But you don't see any of the daily malware stories, hacking stories, stories like this on iOS. Think what you want about Apple, call them liars, etc but they really DO care about the user experience and users security. Enjoy your craptastic android phones that get better by the minute!

It's at least once a week now it seems. Why would anyone want such insecure phone. This is just getting insane. Wave you're Google hardon all you like but the facts are this is a horrible platform for security.

FreeBSD supports partial implementation of 5961. As well as one of the authors of the RFC for 5961 being a FreeBSD committer. FYI. I have yet to see a Security Advisory for FreeBSD yet about this issue. So time will tell. But so far only Linux is affected.

If not why the hell would you do this just to have them turn around and tell you they are seizing these bitcoins until you can prove they came from a legit source?

working out for you ballmer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?... No talent, tasteless, useless corporation.

White tea is healthier than green tea. Just saying.

Yeah I've been waiting for gigaE installed by them over by ray town for just shy of a year. The only word I hear from them is on the last day of their "deadlines" I get an email saying "yeeaahh so about your gigabit connection...yeahhh that's um not gonna happen we need another 6 months kthx."

ZFS. ZFS in some form. FreeNAS with ZFS, FreeBSD with ZFS. Don't run anything else. Checksumming, self healing, stable, future proof. Don't risk bitrot or corruption or data loss. Just do it. As far as metadata, thats a bitch. Ive yet to find an open metadata format that is widely supported, and will be around in 50 years. Im hoping someone here chimes in with a good metadata solution! Ive yet to find one I love.

MR. POTATO HEAD! Backdoors are not secrets!"

I use Tarsnap. Cheap. Fast. Reliable. *Secure*. Client for almost all major platforms. Source included for the client. Check it out.

Cheating and corruption in *India*?! No. Fucking. Way! I expect nothing less in the rape capital of the world. P.s. my wife is indian and I have first experience with how corrupt and vile that country is. From cops, to repairmen to government officials.
