Still A Fan Of Netflix

Posted on October 10, 2011 by Zakhar

I have been a Netflix customer for a long time. I’m so glad they decided to keep “partitioned accounts” after announcing they were going to get rid of them. In the past, they reversed a price increase. Recently, they did … Continue reading →

I’ve said this for a long time, but my audience is very small, so I’m glad someone with a bigger audience agrees (video below). I’m not ripping off artists if I download their works for free. I don’t think (m)any … Continue reading →

Posted on March 28, 2009 by Zakhar

Little Known Software

Posted on July 2, 2008 by Zakhar

I really liked Dvorak’s idea to let everyone know about little known software. I’m recommending Filezilla. It does FTP, but it also does file transfer over SSH which means your file transfers cannot be snooped.

Piracy

Posted on November 22, 2007 by Zakhar

The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s voluntary collective licensing plan is the only real way to get out of the “piracy” problems on the web today. The only problem is that the labels would receive far less of a cut than today, … Continue reading →
