Fellow dropbox users: →[More:] Can't wait for the rest of this season's Downton Abbey and the Christmas Special? Or the second season of Sherlock? Wanna share music, books, articles, etc?
I've been feeding stuff to a friend who got the scary letter from his Japanese ISP, so email me if you wanna play swapsies. I noted a lot of you when I was adding people, and I do so like to share, and I have academic access to dbs, so just ask.
Someone remind me to grab my old comps so I can spread some e-books around.

This may not be a good place to discuss 'sharing' anything.

"With MegaUpload Down, Who’s Next? RapidShare? SoundCloud? DropBox?"

Perhaps. There are security questions out there about it.
Maybe we leave it up for a time and then delete it.
Que sera sera.

I'm already going down for civil disobedience in little more than a month. Pile it on.
But if it jeopardizes the site, it's just the latest thing of mine deleted.

Yeah, for me personally, not a problem. But not for the MeCha. (I do have some unused domain names I could DON'T SAY IT HERE)

posted by oneswellfoop 22 January | 19:07

Is this your way of saying add you? Or that you want to use one of your many, many, many domains for something?
Quick before the broom comes!
Or is it the hook?

I'm in Canada, so a lot of what might be trouble for US denizens isn't a problem for me. Thanks for the invite, ethylene.

Wait. What? Anything you can tell us about?

Oh, it is a long and stupid story I should probably not make public.
I may just call it "mayhem" because the actual legal definition of mayhem is the nonconsenual removal of a limb, which just makes me wonder what the consensual removal of a limb is called.

This is not a good place to co-ordinate sharing of information that has copyright implications, sorry. Anything like this should be discussed and/or arranged elsewhere.

But it's got to be one of the lowest traffic times to do it, eh?

Oh god, the second sherlock doesn't work, and the first one was so good. Cut off until Friday. Damn and blast.

filesonic is gone, and we lost fileserve in the middle of the night (and the middle of a download).

amputation?

posted by jouke 23 January | 21:07

Amputation is not usually all that consensual either.

posted by ethylene 23 January | 21:10

Kind of like how you can't kill and eat a consenting person unless it's Germany.

If they take down Dropbox, it's war.
