[My Name is Immaterial]

Perhaps this excerpt from MLK Jr's The Other America speech will help shed some light on the question.

But at the same time, it is as necessary for me to be as vigorous in condemning the conditions which cause persons to feel that they must engage in riotous activities as it is for me to condemn riots. I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. [snip] And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.

My personal interpretation is that riots are what happen when protests, violent or non-violent, are not successful. Thus, "Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention."
Here's the full text of the speech. It might help you dig deeper into the question.

[Helgoland]

Ah, but you wouldn't talk about the 'Occupy Wall Street Riots'. And Stonewall certainly was successful.

I want to send a file to a friend.  It's over 3MB, or whatever the new limit is for Skype.
How can I do this.  It... it has to still be simple, right?

It's just one man! /s
but really, it's just one person.

Edit: I had a private server for months after I was fired, which was so useful while I was employed.  It's gone now.  Help?

[Baffler]

Send him a link to mediafire, dropbox, or whatever other temporary file hosting service you choose. Dropbox is my favorite and IIRC the easiest to set up a new account for.

[Frumple]

Dropfile may be useful, too. Don't need an account at all. Only stores stuff for 24 hours, though, which may or may not be a benefit. Upl.co is like that, too, just with a (much) longer hosting period. I forget exactly what sort of files it's okay with, or what its limits size wise are(n't), though. Is what I use for most image hosting I do, these days.

[Paxiecrunchle]

Does anyone know what actually happened to the Chinese treasure fleet?

[Frumple]

Ah... apparently? Checking, anyway. They went out a few times, came back, and then idled around until decommissioned, or whatever the equivalent of it was at the time. Far as folks seem to know they were either broke down or rotted out and subsequently sunk.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Wrong, they were lost when they discovered Rook Island and attempted to claim its riches. Ultimately, the power of that place consumed them, like a whale before the world's mightiest plankton.

Email it?

Probably the lowest-overhead solution is to just scp it -- or, if you must use Skype for some reason, tar it and split the tarball. tar -czvf and split -b 1 should do, at which point the parts can be rejoined on your friend's end with cat.

[Sheb]

You can email stuff up to 25 MB (IIRC), so that's probably by far the easiest.

[Yoink]

Is snot recyclable?
Or, rather, would traces of snot adversely affect the recyclability of an otherwise-recyclable item? I just blew my nose on a serviette whilst standing next to rubbish bins of both varieties, and found myself hesitating a moment before consigning it to the landfill option. Was that necessary? Would a li'l bit of noise juice really be enough to mess with the recycling process?

Somehow I doubt it, but then some folks go to the trouble of washing their recyclables before throwing them out, so what would I know.

[Rolan7]

I think email would have worked...  Though there might be a file size limit for Gmail too.
Ended up using Megaupload, that worked fine.  I was just drunk and frustrated/surprised that Skype had a limit.  Thanks all!

[Frumple]

Yeh, gmail's is 25 megs, checking... though you can apparently receive attachments up to 50? Which isn't the most useful thing in the world, since most email services cap sending at around 25.

But yeah, bucketload of filesharing stuff. Particularly so long as it's not very sensitive it's dead easy to toss something big(ger than normal email attachment limits) at someone. Least so long as you got the upstream to get it online, I guess.

[Parsely]

I'm trying to figure out what this kind of shirt is called so I can search for more pictures of shirts like it: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/67/6e/82/676e82b852f5b6b14f4a855a5b879744.jpg

What are some search terms that are going to show me more of these?
