Ok, maybe I'm a bit biased, but I always vote up TC articles about YC Companies - good or bad.

I'm not sure why I'm so eager to post something sarcastic, possibly including words like "sshfs" and "already" mixed up with nasty stuff like "many years ago".

Am I a bad person or what?

P.S. And seeing another person asking for "linux support" doesn't help me to fight my sarcasm.

I see so much other stuff make the front page that I am not interested in, but I am interested in seeing YC Companies succeed. For better or worse at TC write up is still probably the best way to reach people who keep up with startup/entrepreneur/vc news, so when one of them makes it onto TC, I like it - and I vote them up =)

Gotta love it. "Unlimited storage!", they say. "Access your stuff anywhere!"

Of course, you better not have TOO MUCH STUFF, or you'll run afoul of this tasty provision.

I would much rather see a Gmail-esque size limit that continually increases with capacity than a false claim of 'unlimited' personally.

Clearly the root of the problem is that you're old. You also forgot to say "get off my lawn".
