  • I'm starting to see performance problems from #Dropbox – taking lon time to sync, connect. Anyone else? #
  • "#practical #dropbox #advice quot; @computerworlduk #unscrewingsecurity http://goo.gl/a12RO #
  • @pfoo07 Not as bad as all that: http://bit.ly/hzTiwS #
  • @tuxplanet @geekbay @pyr #Dropbox not as bad as all that: http://goo.gl/a12RO #
  • @His_Grace Am searching His Grace's latest posting for any refs linking AIDS & hypodermic needles; are there none? Did His AB-ness make any? #
  • @pyr Your discomfort interests me. What makes you feel that way? #
  • The "security hole" in #Dropbox is not a real security problem. Sorry. It's just a matter of choice. http://bit.ly/fquqtk #
  • @unhosted The perl prototype and mostly-complete django version are linked off http://bit.ly/g2yhSK ; revised port to appengine is underway. #
  • How come #Linkedin requires password authentication to "ignore" an invitation to connect, but not to "accept" one? #somemistakesurely #
  • @JamesFirth Answer: because links suit their business model more than customer privacy 🙁 #
  • @drbexl Exactly – the barrier works in their favour. Big shiny "Accept" link works from e-mail. Saying "I've never heard of you" = password #
  • A litany of "How most people can grasp aspects of security, but then fail to see the big picture." http://bit.ly/dGzxHg #
  • @vielmetti boil: not found \n dd if=/dev/faucet of=/dev/saucepan bs=1ml count=1500 \n stty boil < /dev/saucepan #
  • @pyr Interesting assertion; how would you address the point that to have your dropbox "hacked" you must already have been pwned ? #
  • @pyr It wouldn't be the first time. Peeking at .rhosts, some more advanced SSH configs, or reading /etc/passwd used to give me the same. #
  • @pyr Thing is: the world won't end because of this. You still have to copy the file. At the same time you could install a trojan. So what? #
