“After discussing the issues with Power.com for about a month without reaching a resolution, we filed a lawsuit to enforce our terms of service, maintain the integrity of our site and to assure our users’ privacy and security are protected,” said Barry Schnitt, a Facebook spokesman.

Facebook also uses it for their video platform

"Facebook uses the H.264 video codec and main-profile AAC (also known as MPEG-4 Audio) for audio, muxed inside the MP4 container."

I'm getting the following error "Cannot allocate memory - fork(2)"

Interesting how important social networks are outside the US http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8648535.stm

Make sure there's an agenda. Meeting can last forever, if everyone drifts from the topic that the meeting was set to discuss.

Make sure there's a timeline 45 min. You need to have an end.

See if the attendees are willing to do the meeting standing up ?

Thinking about it. I don't want to have to manage my privacy setting every time FB decides that this small component of the app will be exposed to non friends on these sites. It starts becoming something you worry about and is a huge turn off. 2006 member

"In the last job I recruited for (our associate) I had more than 1,000 resumes"

You're doing it wrong!

BTW I don't want to employee someone who doesn't want to be there. If he wants to leave, he's doing us both a favor.

It's important to explore why the candidate wasn't happy or had leave the company.

I get a lot of postcards (reminders/events/promotions).

BTW is that 20k paying pieces ?

A nice alternative to gliffy/visio/omnigraffle/napkin.

In datacenter speak we say pipes = network. Customers who collocate ask for ping, power and pipes.

They got it right.

I think it's far from won. While we work on better ways to detect spam and faster reactive methods. Spammers are doing the same. Writing better virus, testing better social engineering techniques. It's still very profitable.

"Analysis reveals a surge in spam levels in February to 89.4 percent, an increase of 5.5 percent since January mostly due to an increase in spam emanating from the Grum and Rustock botnets. Over the past year, Grum has experienced relatively little change in spam volumes, but from February 5, Grum’s output increased by 51 percent making it responsible for 26 percent of all spam, up from its usual 17 percent. http://www.messagelabs.com/resources/press/45666

thank you for sharing. slow and steady is great. +1 transparency

I thought about a few shitty scenarios, but this one didn't come to mind. Google calculated the risks and choose to have autofollow enabled. They knew what they were doing. I think they released it and waited and reacted. Venn diagram it, they have more users using their system because of it.

I've been using http://www.zenbe.com/mail for the past 3 months. Shareflow looks interesting.

There's no requirement for it to be custom. It's encryption.

No clue.

I'm guilty of reading the article

“The encryption was highly successful in obfuscating the attack and avoiding common detection methods,”

One of the malicious programs opened a remote backdoor to the computer, establishing an encrypted covert channel that masqueraded as an SSL connection to avoid detection

They were probably one of the first to see the activity across a few machines.

I'm guessing they're leaving out the "sophisticated" details of the compromise. Using encryption to hide your malware from virus scanners and using some computer "social engineering" (ssl connection) is not very sophisticated. I don't understand why it needs to be sophisticated ? because it's google ? It's known that some of the largest viruses have spread to government comuputers (sobig).

Puerto Rico was invaded by the United States. Haiti has great sadness in it's history. A large portion of their population is > 19 yrs old. There's a well known problem of child sex slaves in Haiti.

So it was a fairly recent decision.

So I thought about a bit. Google is not interested in redirection $$. They want to own the experience. As far as collecting your browsing behavior, they probably can easily do that with the toolbar. There operating systems can benefit from having geoDNS ip responses. Anyone know if this was a project worked on using the 20% do what you like google perk?

If google decided to do something evil. ISP can easily redirect port 53 udp/tcp traffic to their own servers.

So how does google benefit from me sending them my dns requests . . . , They can serve me "domain not found pages" w/ads (works for OpenDNS), unless I'm a server. If enough people/servers use it they can control how traffic is sent to specific domains (this would be evil). I don't necessary think my request will be a lot faster adding ms, per extra hop. What I don't like about ISPs is there disregard for TTLs. They set their own TTLs so they don't have to make a new request. With a large distributed cache it could mean less hops, I'd love to see a diagram of their dns infrastructure. I've used 4.2.2.1 - 4.2.2.4 (level3) in the past.

Innovative! Door to Door newspaper selling, Collections. Food Carts, Local Car Service, Donations. Anyone can take a payment for a service in real time. The transaction fees, security perception and ease of signup will determine it's adoption. The hardware cost can be reimburse to the client from the transaction fees.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll keep it as my own gallery.

My oldest is 1999. I read somewhere that google also uses that in there complex page rank and results page.

You're right you don't need to own fiber to do peering. But google has a ton of lit and dark fiber. http://www.voip-news.com/feature/google-dark-fiber-050707/

Google has a lot of fiber and plenty dark fiber. But peering is not free bandwidth. A lot of people peer and depeer ask Cogent and Sprint :). Fiber is not free, power to routers is not free. But a headline like that will get you more clicks and use more bandwidth.

The blacklisting you experienced, could have happened with any other host. I've seen this happen with dedicated hosting companies, where a server was previously used by spammers and the ips allocated to a new client. When they try to send mail, guess what they're on all the major rbls. As far as sending mail out from the EC2 environment, that's an on going problem. Take a look at this http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL79954 . I think AWS users would be willing to pay for clean ips that are rate limited. Maybe an EC2 SMTP Service. Your block is using a browser bl and I don't know how those are shared by http filters.

You can take a look at the public waves by typing with:public next to the "New Wave" button. There's way too much going on for me to find it useful.
