I never signed up for DropBox but now I'm definitely not going to. Course, I'm not signed up for any other cloud file options... waiting until someone makes a better "home personal cloud" allowing me to interconnect my devices with my server where-ever I decide to put it (home, office, colo facility...)

Sometimes boycotting is like standing in a warm pile of horse-shit and proclaiming your correctness.

Re: Are you going to drop dropbox now that Condoleezza Rice is on the board? - $tevie - 04-13-2014 Did we actually "call for" the Mozilla CEO to be dismissed or did we merely agree with his departure? I may be picking nits, but I don't recall asking for his head although I went on record as supporting it after it happened. As for Dropbox, they don't get any money from me and are probably unaware of my existence. So, just as I didnt stop using Firefox, I won't stop using Dropbox. Money talks but I have no money in either concern, nor have I ever recruited friends to use them, so there's nothing to be achieved by a "boycott", at least in the way I use them, since nothing from nothing equals nothing.

I was "you-ing" to the general audience. Yes, I was agreeing with you. ![]() Re: Are you going to drop dropbox now that Condoleezza Rice is on the board? - rjmacs - 04-14-2014 Does DropBox have a long and storied history of promoting inclusiveness, tolerance, and protesting against discrimination, as Mozilla does? If so, i've never heard of it.

(The same goes for Al Gore as well.) |
