AltDrive because it is fast, robust, has a private security key option, unobtrusive, open/locked file support, and easy to use. It does not do local backup though. Works on MAc, Windows and Linux.

Also AltDrive Online Backup (http://altdrive.com) is unlimited, easy, supports all major operating systems, and allows for a private encryption key [AES-256 CTR Mode encryption] so that customer's file data cannot be read by insiders. It's cheap too.

But not much that I would ever want to watch.

* AltDrive - client side deduplication.

Dropbox is a good service, and I am sure file access is limited to a few employees, but I wouldn't use it for sensitive data or for a business. Any service where you do not control the encryption keys, e.g. Box.net, and myriad others will have the same issue. It's all about tradeoffs. Ultimately they can access your data. The truecrypt option may solve it for some but that means the whole archive has to be shared.

AltDrive unlimited online backup versions your files and allows you to control your encryption key. It runs on *nix, OSX, Windows, and other OSs. http://altdrive.com

Another word: AltDrive.com - Free two month trial.

AltDrive (http://altdrive.com) is unlimited, has a free two month trial, and is $4.45/mo or $44.50/yr. The client is lightweight and full featured. Data is encrypted using AES-256 CTR mode with your key before leaving your computer. It supports Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux, has data deduplication, throttle control, and file versioning. It is easy to setup and use and has online video tutorials and a knowledgebase.

I applaud the openness of this submittal. Nobody's perfect and the topic is difficult and the implementation is tricky to get absolutely right.

At AltDrive, we use a nonce generated w/ secure random and that is used for encrypting an entire file in CTR (EAX) mode. The issue with 64k chunks does not apply. The mature and well-respected BouncyCastle AES-256 libraries are used from the low level API. Usage of the API was independently reviewed by the BouncyCastle organization. I can share that on the AltDrive blog if anyone is interested. http://altdrive.com

That's a sizable operation and difficult to visualize. I'm guessing their failure points reduce potential damage to minimal levels. At AltDrive, we use ZFS RaidZ2 with a number of hot spares. Six drives would have to fail consecutively on a given machine before any data loss... we replace them as they occur. And we have inter-H/W duplication. ZFS is self healing and makes management easy. Additionally we periodically compare the integrity of the user's AES-256 CTR encrypted data against the database records and make corrections if necessary. From our customer's and white label provider's view, it just works. http://altdrive.com

I love AltDrive.com. But I'm partial since I created it...and took 5 years doing so. I think tarsnap is good but it seems more for hackers and IT types. Reading their blogs, they do seem to well understand security and encryption.

AltDrive has a free two month trial for either home or business users. You can control your own encryption key too. It is highly secure and uses AES-256 EAX mode encryption. It works in Windows, OSX, Linux. Plus other OSs for business users. It is easy to use and is full featured. There is also a white label offering for the business service.

Check it out. http://altdrive.com I'm always looking for feedback of any kind that would help improve it.

In 1998 they tried to charge me for a late fee which I thought was not correct. So, in a long line on Friday night at Blockbuster, I asked the employee for the scissors where I promptly cut the card up and left it for them on the counter. I never went back and was happier shopping elsewhere. Then Netflix came around and I've been loyal to them ever since.

Losing customers by overcharging doesn't make for a good long-term strategy.

It depends on the type of work. For safety critical avionics software, it can be three eLOC per day. For tools, web and others, it can be a few hundred to two thousand per day.

I really like my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide. It is the right form factor for me and has a usable keyboard. Only 600Mhz but plenty fast and will be much faster when Froyo is available later this year. Plus I tether it via usb cable when I travel. The network speed is quite good in my area 1.5Mbps up and down.

I looked at the EVO, but it was too big and power hungry for my liking. And I didn't want to root the phone to "fix" it. Great screen though.

That's about the stupidest waste of time and energy I've every heard of. Also France is not neutral... they have their priorities too.

Good luck with that.

There is no such think as a bank that doesn't suck. If there are, they are called credit unions. For profit banks have customers. Non-profit credit unions have members.

It's just my experience, I have no formal studies to back it up...

In my multithreaded java application, turning off HT improved performance 100%. Granted, it was one of the early HT implementations wit ha single core, but I still always turn it off in my BIOS.

I tend to prefer AMD over Intel because you get more MIPS/$ and less heat.

I belong to the BBB so that I can have their logo on my site. I thought it was expensive since that is all I want of them.

It frustrates me that scammers such as Video Professor use the service.

Could someone comment on the state of the Tiger data. I tried to use it for an online trailer tracking application in the late 90's but it was very poor quality.

I read it last night thinking the name was a joke.

Walk away. There is no point in having the relationship when trust can never be there.

That's a sad bunch of start ups. Nothing excites me and it has all been done already. If implemented, they'll just add to the noise of little apps that I'd have to invest time in. Oh yea...how are they going to acquire customers and make a profit?

Cool. Reminds me of Drudge.

No. I'm too cheap.

If he is found guilty, and he probably is, lock him up for years. And fine him $1B. Also, I am tired of this guy's pontificating.

This is great news for those who opted for the slower route of developing services/solutions without external funding. It has the effect of reducing competition within the marketplace. It will also divert developers to projects with better business models.

I quit BlockBuster in 1998 after a dispute. I asked the clerk for scissors and cut up the card in front of him. Since then, I been very happy with Netflix, its convenience, and efficiency. Rarely it has problems and has responded well when they occurred. I am fascinated by the BB CEO being so out of touch.
