Re: Mimedia Offers 7GB Free Online Storage & Backup

Online Backup — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 02:52:37 -0000

Backup will use the same name for the data and settings files in the
same iDisk folder - so one Mac simply overwrites the backup from the
other. I naively left the defaults running on two Macs for years until
the day

1.4 billion hungry is of greater gravity than a majority of conversations, does that mean we should speak of nothing else until that's resolved? But if you want to talk in those terms: this conversation is about a few people abusing the trust and efforts of a great number of people, in the service of personal financial gain. I would dare say that it's similar factors, of greed and disregard for others, that contribute to the number of people living in poverty in the world.

Wow, there are 1.4 billion people living below the poverty line around the world, and you people are more interested in writing about commercialism and boycotting a luxury band for going to a dance party and taking photos. Really !

I hear you. And certainly a lot of people are happy with the HP Envy. The new one (Folio) seems really exciting too: http://reviews.cnet.com/lap... That said, I'm really happy with my Dell XPS. :)

While I don't have any greater faith in Microsoft / Bing than I do in Google -Meaning that under current US law, a complete privacy change is only a boardroom decision away- I DO believe that people should be exploring the full array of options.

It's a question of where your time is best spent, as a person or organization. Do you try to convince someone to do something they've expressed no interest in? Or do you try to engage those who already show an interest in the matter being considered. And when you have information at hand, as a friend or researcher, you already have some pretty good information on who's already interested and who isn't. Even with the Waggle Dance, not all the bees watch the dance, even though there's nectar being offered. But enough do, and the dance is for them.

How interesting and well put! You're saying that it makes more sense to talk to the parts of ourselves (in our friends) that are welcoming, than to try to convince the closed-off, non-receptive parts of ourselves (in our friends) to be other than they are. This makes for increased speed of feedback, specialization, and development. ... but the "I want everyone to be friends" part of me says, "so how will we ever come together as a world if we don't try to communicate across boundaries?"

I didn't realise that it was generally accepted that James Cameron, as an individual, is a tool of a human being. I saw him being interviewed way back in "The Abyss" days - loved the movie - thought he was an arrogant dickhead. Unfortunately my opinion has never changed. I really couldn't tell you why but obviously it's not just me.
