You got it!

No one really believes that Amazon, a massive multinational company with revenue exceeding $60 billion that manages a huge, complex e-commerce site, backed by complex infrastructure that it also sells, is confused with the 50 different tax rules that it has to keep track of, right?

The CrashPlan app allows you to encrypt your data before it leaves the machine, so CrashPlan never actually sees the unencrypted data or the key. The key size and encryption algorithm exceed HIPAA specs - so, using that method (client-side encryption), CrashPlan should be completely compliant.

Hi! I actually just signed up for CrashPlan+ a couple of days ago. I'm really excited to be fully backed up, but with my ~2TB of data, it's taking a while. Perhaps I'm not your average customer, but you do seem interested in catering to at least some users with lots of data because of your seed drive offering, so…

Nope, I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong. I've seen Snopes draw conclusions that were contrary to their own evidence.

I don't maintain a list, I generally try to avoid snopes. I did come across one recently that laid out a bunch of facts that were completely contrary to their ultimate "false" verdict. I don't have time today to find it again, it was related to the 2012 presidential election IIRC. If I find it again, I'll be sure…

Snopes is known to be left-leaning, and…

On Apple's commercial:

"your current location" LOL

I did catch that, but isn't it on the bottom of the wallet, facing down, into the pocket? Or did I lose my orientation while watching the video...

First off, I love this idea, I've never seen anything like it, but two things come to mind:

Exactly! I find that keeping busy friends helps the situation, because they understand what it's like to be busy. Even when you leave college, you'll find that these personalities are the same. There will always be the perpetually busy people who fill their lives to the brim and those who are content putting in…

Fatback?

No mention of Adam's original write-up on this? http://lifehacker.com/5952416/calmcom-helps-you-relax-when-you-dont-have-time

Most of this sounds good, but I don't know if I agree that 77ºF is the ideal working temperature - at least not for me. Perhaps I'm an anomaly, but that seems awfully warm. 68-70 seems to be what most people find to be comfortable working temperatures (whether or not that's the temperature they're the most…

Update: It doesn't A bit over three hours later, and there's still 10,200 people in front of me lol. Sounds like this will be a project for next weekend.

There's over 10,000 people in front of me. I really hope that Mailstrom moves quick!
