I use backblaze now who gives you free recoveries (via downloading) if you need it or you can pay to get a drive shipped to you (I forget the pricing on it.)
Why should I use you over paying $5 a month for backblaze? From what I can tell you basically do the same thing for almost 5x the cost.
Yeah, the physical component has its upsides and downsides. The costs and margins are high for sure. The big advantages are a full backup of your drive. Try restoring your backblaze backup sometime, it won't be easy. Having tried Backblaze, Crashplan, and Carbonite, I've found I stick with external drive cloning (from the people we've interviewed so far, I'm definitely not alone).
I've never used Backblaze, but restoring with Crashplan is pretty simple. I can restore my entire user folder as backed up in under an hour. I've done it more than once, and would never consider it lacking.
Ehhhh.....I use a 1TB time machine with my Mac. And backblaze. I'm covered under most imaginable circumstances and it's much cheaper and automatic than doing drive cloning.
I said the same thing last time a company came along that did deployments. Why would I trust a 3rd party rights to my whole system. Sell the product as software I can install and I'd think about it, until then I wouldn't even sign up.
Unpopular? In some designer circles maybe, in 90% of working web developers absolutely not. Not to mention that the flow layout techniques are sub-par and worse than tables in every area where they overlap.
It's no coincidence that the w3c finally created a grid layout spec as well as the flex layout to surpass the "flow" mess, or that all desktop UI layout tools use some grid and/or constraint based system for layout.
Plus, content-presentation separation should be at the level of CMS/database/RESTful service where the data come from, not imposed at the level of the published content.
I agree that html tables are used and get the job done, but I would much rather deal with one container div, one 960 div, then 3 section divs for header, content, and footer, then, one or more tables doing the same thing.
It's 2012, and CSS is easy. With a little work, all the problems you can point out can be fixed easily, including flexible grid layouts, and columns, responsive design. Can you even make a flexible table layout?
Also, every site I maintain that uses tables for layout, uses more than one, and it's source is absolutely horrible. While you say that a CMS should level should handle this, that doesn't factor in responsive design, site creation, or massive overhauls to style. Semantics will be an important element in the web soon, and doing html tables for layout, is considered wrong by anyone who cares. http://www.w3.org/2002/03/csslayout-howto
That is the modem hangup string. You could send a icmp packet to a person containing just that and their modem would drop the connection. So it was common in IRC for people to ping a whole channel with that and have a bunch of people quit right after.
IRC pings don't use ICMP, but that could work if IRC clients would repeat data received without escaping first. Or if unaware users saw it come over the channel and tried to type it themselves.
Considering a CTCP request is just a PRIVMSG with ^A wrapped around the "command word", and a CTCP reply is just a NOTICE with the same ^A thing, you can make them "say" just about anything. It's unclear why an IRC client would need to worry about "escaping" +++, except if it's specifically been designed for people with bad modems.
Those of us with good modems back in the dialup days just laughed at this insanity. Hayes used to put "+++AT" in their press releases after a certain point just to trip up any noncompliant systems which may have passed it along.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. The modem could also guard the sequence by requiring interstitial pauses, but I believe this was patented by Hayes in the 80s.
Indeed it was, as the referenced Wikipedia article notes; Hayes charged $1/unit for a patent license. As soon as the primary application of modems became Internet access, IP encapsulation protocols like PPP could have worked around the problem, but, AFAIK, never did.
This would be a better project if you sold a license to company and not a saas service. I don't want to put ssh-keys on my network from another machine I have no control over. If anyone ever got access to your service they could have a field day.
I would give it a run through if you offered it as software though.
Yes like I said.. I would give it a try. If you do like what github does and offer up like a vm image or something or just a tarball with instructions.
To me 90% of the fun of living out a zombie apocalypse is taking a baseball bat to the side of a zombie's head. I don't really want to run around and hide all night.
Just so long as he promises to film a video montage of him enjoying it and presents it to us during a keynote at OpenWorld/JavaOne, like he does with his yacht.
