Dropbox File Share Time Machine??
a: Dropbox ~
b: a time machine
What: Drop Box is a file sharing service. I'm assuming it is based on a FTP protocol. Great Idea if it works. I wonder how much memory could be saved if files could be stored in this type of system and not duplicated every time an email is sent. The big possible problem is the security of the system. Do you really want to store all your financial information on a system that is vulnerable to being hacked?

a: overtime ~
b: cholesterol
What:
"I think that overtime can be divided into good and bad, and that good overtime benefits both the devs and the projects. With good overtime, the extra hours are not the thing that benefits the project. They're a side effect; a symptom of people fully engaged in work they think is fascinating and worthwhile, and they stay later because it's more fun than whatever else they would be doing. "
