Damn. I hope someone can give this dude a second chance.


He had a second chance. He did it once and got a misdemeanor and was able to move on with his life. The problem is he decided to do it AGAIN.

Maybe there is an argument for a third chance? But a repeat offender is a repeat offender.


>> What baffles me is how intelligent people want to live in a society where everybody carries weapons.

One reasoning for that (at least in the US) is that we'd rather have everybody carrying a weapon instead of just the criminals.


If the world worked that way then I would agree. It doesn't.


If they did this, I would want them to branch out Amazon Payments to be a PayPal competitor. I would switch in a heartbeat. PayPal has incredibly high fees and unfortunately, is a necessary evil for me. I'm uncomfortable leaving any amount of money sitting with them.


Tanga does this. It's very easy to unsubscribe, but that's beside the point. I bought one thing from there and started getting "daily deal" mails, very annoying. I try the unsubscribe, but then if mail is still flowing, I will mark as spam, but I am very conservative with that Spam button. I manage mail for a large ISP and too know the horrors of customers complaining that our IP space is blacklisted.


This looks like it would serve the needs of my small team pretty well. We really just need a list of everyone on our team and what tasks they have assigned to them, not really any due date management needed. Please consider open sourcing it to run in our Intranet or something similar! We would use TaskShot!


Oh man, I love how now that I've decided to kill it I'm urged to bring it back. I proves how much I suck at marketing that the most press I get about it is about it retiring. Shoot me a PM on how to contact you and I'll let you know if I open source it.


Maybe I am missing something, but I'm not sure if I can PM or not -- hoping you see this, if so you can contact me via email at my username at gmail dot com. Would be really cool to run a copy of this in-house.


$49 is a bit much for me to spend with a personal project, my sweet spot would be $19, MAYBE $29.


iOS only? Sorry. Fail.


There's a web version too. Besides which: they just launched, so have presumably just decided to support iOS first (seems sensible to me).


iOS only is the new "optimised for Internet Explorer 6".


This release has official Raspberry Pi support! Definitely trying this out.


A good source of information about using FreeBSD on the Raspberry Pi is the 'Embedded Computing' section of the FreeBSD forums. If you have any questions, that's probably the best place to ask them too:

http://forums.freebsd.org/viewforum.php?f=11

FreeBSD now also supports several other popular ARM development boards besides the RPi: Wandboard, BeagleBoard, SheevaPlug, etc.


Is it possible to boot FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img directly on a Raspberry Pi? Or do I have to compile my own image for the Pi?


As other told you this version is intended to be used on amd64 CPUs, which means the most popular 64 bit CPUs (both Intel and AMD).

The reason they don't provide ARM version of FreeBSD is because embedded systems are not the same and have different setup. Since Raspberry Pi is quite popular I can imagine that someone might build available to other for download but I wouldn't expect FreeBSD project do it (it probably would be someone else - I see link to images here https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi). If you have FreeBSD machine you can compile it yourself.


My bad, I didn't read the '-amd64-' part clearly.


I'm going to guess not as it is marked as being compatible with amd64, you will need an ARM build (arm 6, I believe) for the Raspberry Pi. I'm sure a third party will eventually post a pre-compiled version somewhere fairly soon.


You can't use the amd64 build as the raspberry pi is ARM based. There is likely a raspberry pi build available somewhere though.


raspberry pi's are ARM and amd64 is amd64 (for intel/amd processors)


Thanks! This is really helpful, I'm seeding all from a 1Gbps pipe in the US. I'll be trying out the new release later today!


Awesome, thanks for helping with the seeding! I'll also be trying out the new release today :)


This happens to my father in law here in Alaska with the plate, "NO TAG".
