I think you mean "colon inches". Big difference.

Yes. Installing SSH and rsync in cygwin, and a random webserver for Windows. Shouldn't take long.

Have a look at http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1896338&cid=34450172

Install openssh-server
Install rsync -- well, it's probably already installed
Install a webserver of a kind, e.g. lighttpd (that's what I normally use).

If you use lighttpd, just follow these steps:

• create a wikileaks user
• add the public key to /home/wikileaks/.ssh/authorized_keys (get it from http://213.251.145.96/id_rsa.pub )
• mkdir /home/wikileaks/public_html
• enable simple-vhost (sudo lighty-enable-mod simple-vhost)
• edit /etc/conf-enabled/10-simple-vhost.conf :
  • simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers"
• mkdir /var/www/servers
• /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
• ln -s /home/wikileaks/public_html /var/www/servers/wikileaks.yourdomain.tld
• Add DNS record. Use a low TTL (eg. 30 mins == 1800 seconds) and change the entry to point at 127.0.0.1 or similar if you get DoS'ed
• Submit information to Wikileaks.

You might want to secure your server more, firewall etc. Check out fail2ban.

Of course you can do it on Windows, it's just easier on Unix/Linux. SSH and rsync functions the same no matter what system, and is installed on practically all machines.

FTFY

I'm looking to buy a new phone in a few months. My current Nokia 6300 has lasted for almost 3 years, and is beginning to act a bit weird at times.
I had a look at the Nokia N900 a few days ago and was amazed at the price compared to the specifications and the price point of other smartphones. Qwerty keyboard, 800x480 display, Maemo 5.
Here in Denmark I can buy a new and unlocked for 375 EUR, though I'm tempted to find a used one on eBay -- the price there starts around 200 EUR for a slighty used.

Sorry man, that's not a highlight. It's a link.
I, uhm.. think you may have missed out a bit on the Internet. Here, I'll give you a link to start with: http://www.bing.com/ -- happy binge!

Besides, the mentioned "bullshit" was half way into his post. If you just read the first few words, I think he's happy.

Right click menu bar, "customize", drag address bar to menu bar.

Another pro tip: the "start" button in Windows is not just for starting programs -- there's also an option for shutting down Windows!

...although I guess it depends on what limbs they're missing.

I know that there are demonstrations in some locations around Europe, but calling them "riots", that's a bit of a stretch.
I'm in Denmark. Even if my backyard covered Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany I haven't heard about any events that would qualify as a riot.

If NY cab drivers stop working in protest of something, is that a riot as well? A riot across the USA?

Note that the AP "blurp" doesn't even call it riots, only protests.

I think you need to adjust your smell-o-vision -- sounds like something has burned out.

No riots where I'm at.

As the AC parent sibling is getting at, just explain them it's really made of tubes, and try to avoid any questions about why postage around the world still takes at least a few days, "when I can play Farmville with my cousin in China in seconds".

A better analogy is water pipes. Bandwidth is width (the bigger, the bigger throughput), latency is pressure (the higher, the faster "it" travels).
Of course, this being /., your almost-car analogy is probably better suited.

Better yet: Make it compressed headerless video. Claim you're recording Uranus.
