As far as i know, virtual box is the only free OSS platform that supports forkable snapshots: e.g. the ability to go back to an older snapshot and create new snapshots from that point. (while also keeping all the newer snapshots) This creates a snapshot tree which is great for the development of operating systems, packaging, devops and so on.

10 minutes later i'm asking myself: why the hell i'm listening to Pharrell Williams??

Oh...right ...something with counters..it has 500 million. so yeah...2 billion isnt that far away.

Imagine how much bandwidth we wasted with that annoying song. :)

i wonder where the sourcecode of this phex-fork is. phex is gpl. could this be another violation of law enforcement agengies?

NSA probably already has this technology

i fear for a future where lobby groups will "convince" governments or agencys like the NSA, to get the download history of all those copyright-"terrorist".

they are already recording all the metadata..its only a really small step from where we are now, to everyone-is-a-criminal.

why has this story no comments? isn't it showing up on the mainsite of slashdot somehow?

I think its called the Windows updater...

For your information: I'm from The Neterlands myself, and indeed i should have said: "collecting as much personal data as possible of every citizen in the world, all the time"

"Organization Pirate Party Norway claims that spy accused Edward Snowden landed at Oslo Gardermon airport last night." http://www.tnp.no/norway/panorama/3802-pirate-party-norway-snowden-passed-through-norway-to-iceland Stangely enough rt.com havent reported this yet.

Today i watched rt.com (russian television) and cnn.com for hours: rt.com was constantly reporting about the NSA spying, showing interviews with assange and CEO's of crypto companies, and showing interviews with other ex-NSA employers like Benning. (who was almost laughing hysterically about how absurt the whole situation in the US was) The focus was on both snowden and the spying the US government does. They even claim that the intelligence agencies are working together with the US news media to suppress the story.

On CNN on the other hand I only hear short stories about snowden and wether or not he can be extradited. There was ZERO information about the real issue: the government collecting all the data of all the US citicens all the time.

So this time rt.com seems to be the more complete source of information and CNN seems to be biased or at least not giving a full report and critical report. However i'm sure those roles are reversed when there is some big scandal in russia.

Is it a strange coincidence that this news comes out around the time of the next fork? http://mineforeman.com/2013/05/13/last-forking-warning/ Is there some evil government conspiracy going on to bring bitcoin down, or is it perhaps some kind of "crash and cash" scheme, or can i leave my tinfoil hat at home?

most senators are incompetent morons and we're all doomed

When the first gsm phones appeared, some people also called the users of these devices tards, assholes, yups and what not..
