wow... I just tried the link and get the same thing now... except i can access my servey... maybe it was a limited time deal.

Just been reading through the comments on MajorNelson.com, and it looks like most of the people who get the error message are from the UK. Methinks they're not allowing us in it! :(

I managed it... yesterday, maybe its just ended for sign-ups for now.

I'm from the states and it gives me that error to now when I follow the link. I think they closed it now.

That or too many people tried to sign up in too short amount of time and we broke it :p

Needless to say I'm glad I was keeping close watch on MN.com yesterday and saw his post minutes after he announced it.

you and me both. i really hope i get to try it early.

Who sleeps for 10 hours+? I agree it's a bit ****y to give the americans more chance to get in, but they are their number 1 customers...

No one, but who wakes up and logs straight onto their computer to check Major Nelson's blog? I can imagine a few people here would but it's not something everyone does. Most people don't go on the computer until they come home from school/work.

It says that they will let us know who got accepted on Oct 29, seems like a long wait.

Next Wednesday? Less than a week? I don't think that's long at all...

So they wanted to get a fully representative sample, but only had it open for 10-12 hours when Europe was asleep? Really clever stuff...

I'm sure it would have stayed open for longer had the slots available for sign ups not been filled so quickly. No clever business here. :p

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
