Willie, I am looking at CDNs as well, although I had not looked at OVH's. I am not sure what will protect against a well designed HTTP flood though, so I am still doing research. Costs are an issue because the site will be retained and improved even if it is nor an immediate commercial success...

I did not put it in "service requests" because we are not ready to buy - my client wants to know how much it would cost to move to something better. OVH look good, I have read quite a lot of negative comments on their customer service - but a lot of those seem to be from people who did not...

Not entirely sure which where this should go, so defaulting to "general talk". I have a client who needs a significant upgrade from his current (2 virtual core, 4gb RAM, vmware) VPS. It has come under occasional attacks from people who dislike assertions of the identity of the ethnic group his...

I love the second last para. Oracle refers to those reverse engineering its code as "sinning". The article says: Not such an issue for Java: you could just use the pure open source version, I do not think there is much difference between them any more, and OpenJDK is what you will get from most...

Python web development is most of what I do. I disagree. Whatever language you start with you will have to adjust to other languages. Python object oriented, but it is also a multi-paradigm language. I have written short scripts that are purely procedural, and you can write functional code as...

My experience has been that the closer I move my diet to paleo, the more weight I lose. It is really just common sense - eat what you have evolved to eat. I think a strict paleo diet is over the top: there are perfectly good foods that are not paleo (milk, and milk products, for example -...

Ubuntu laptop typically 2 to 4 weeks. At the moment 9 days. I do not try particularly hard to get high uptime and I will often shut down if I know I will not use it for a day or two.

The long list is completely wrong. I live in one of the countries on the list, and there have never been US or EU sanctions that would affect anything other than weapons sales. The link to the OFAC site is more helpful, but you need to read the documents. A lot of the sanctions apply to dealing...
