I purchase Malwarebytes for my parents for Christmas every year and it's saved me so much time troubleshooting or recovering files from my parents' PCs.

"...despite companies trying to get free PR by saying they'll accept it, almost nobody uses it to buy anything other than drugs."

I stopped reading right there.

I was originally hired at my current company to migrate our on-premise servers to Office 365, so I was not involved in the decision to actually select a service.

Microsoft had already considered OneDrive for Business (SkyDrive Pro at the time) a finished product. Two years of hell has proven otherwise. Personally I still view OneDrive as an MVP, though I will concede it has gotten a little better over time.

Microsoft has also failed to provide notification of a new feature rolling out several times, causing confusion with end-users. At best, I'll get a brief message in the Office 365 admin portal that says "Within the next 4 months, we'll be rolling out x, y, and z features." I'm glad that I know months in advance of a new feature, but not knowing any type of specific time frame really puts us at a disadvantage.

New features are awesome and I am more than willing to try them out if I know they're still not totally ready. Ultimately what really irritates me is when companies tout a product as "enterprise-ready" that is still riddled with bugs.

Office 365 Enterprise, especially OneDrive for Business. I feel like an unwilling beta tester.

I have been putting together a list of software to look at for a tech-based activism/volunteerism site I'm working on. This looks like it could be very useful and I'm looking forward to checking it out this weekend. Thanks for this!

Maybe fiverr.com?

I served on the Reagan from 2003-2007 and am lucky enough to have finished my enlistment before the Fukushima incident.

I still have a large network of friends in the military and work in the defense industry in San Diego so I was surprised when I first learned of this incident only a few weeks ago. I thought the post I was reading at the time was a sick hoax at first but have since learned otherwise.

This doesn't surprise me much at all unfortunately, and I wish my fellow sailors the best of luck in not getting screwed by Uncle Sam, which is what I fully expect will happen.

Nope, seems pretty standard to me. I use SendGrid and am extremely satisfied with their service.

Do they plan on letting anyone know what the benefits of signing up are, or what they do with our email address?

Like he says on the forum thread, he did not acquire any login information. Just the opposite, in fact. They neglected to set a username/password to their admin panel. That's a gaping security hole if I've ever seen one.

Agreed. I was going to give Linode another week to put something out about the Freemont upgrade before I switched to a different datacenter, am very glad they finally announced it. Hopefully this new location will work out better than the first.
