CrashPlan Error “Cound not Initialize class com.code42.jna.inotify.InotifyManager”

I had a host that wasn’t backing up at all and found the following error message within the CrashPlan engine_error.log located in /usr/local/crashplan/log

Exception in thread "W87903837_ScanWrkr" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.code42.jna.inotify.InotifyManager
at com.code42.jna.inotify.JNAInotifyFileWatcherDriver.<init>(JNAInotifyFileWatcherDriver.java:21)

From what I could tell it was related to a CentOS 6.x upgrade that may have set the noexec on /tmp which wasn’t set previously.

The error sees to be related to writing files to the /tmp directory, the following two websites I found by a simple Google search revealed this problem.

You have to update the CrashPlan Java options to store its temporary that isn’t mounted as “noexec” by your system

Open up  /usr/local/crashplan/bin/run.conf and add the following to the end of SRV_JAVA_OPTS

-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/crashplan

Creators Of Mobile Chat For the iPhone Twenty08 Hires AplloIM Developer

If you bought the iPhone when it first came out, you had two choices for Instant Messaging. Twenty08's MobileChat and Alex Schaefer's ApolloIM. Twenty08 has now hired Alex Schaefer to work exclusively on MobileChat
twenty08 would like to formally welcome aboard…Alex Schaefer. Many of you may know him as the founder of the world’s first Native iPhone IM Application, ApolloIM. ApolloIM was an amazing application and during it’s run, MobileChat and Apollo stood head to head and constantly battled to create the better app. (Friendly war of course!) The best part about it was that no one won! Only our respective users benefited from the friendly competition, and you can’t ask for anything better than that as far as I’m concerned. Now with Alex working on our side, we believe that MobileChat will be able to rise up and regain its glory as the number one iPhone application that we all know it can be. He is a very talented developer (plus a great guy) who has already brought some great ideas to the table and we’re all very excited to see our new-found relationship grow.

Corporate critics feel the stinging lash of DMCA misuse

I use to work for an ISP and was head of the Abuse Department. We only really received legitimate DCMA's that were then handled by legal. We didn't really seem to get that many DMCA notices, maybe its because we're a Canadian organization?
Corporate critics feel the stinging lash of DMCA misuse -

Two recent cases show that companies aren't always fans of criticism, and some will file misguided DMCA notices and defamation cases to scrub it from the Internet.
