    Microsoft Crashes, plane into houses

    I love flying. Always wanted to get my pilots license. I've even been on a commercial flight that was forced to 'crash land' in Dayton, Ohio instead of Indianapolis. Flew later that week again too. Put me in a car on the interstate though, I'm tense and nervous as shit. Unfortunate accident...

    East Coast DDOS Filtering

    $6+/mo for DDoS filtering is laughably cheap, and I'd pay it. Won't move my stuff to your Buffalo location due to CC boycott, which isn't your fault, but I'd pay $6+/mo for DDoS filtering in Vegas even. :P

    VPSWiki.us Ideas?

    I've been working on these. Only have 15 providers in the spreadsheet so far, but list network mixes, datacenter locations and datacenters used. Hardware utilized (their words), specs of hardware nodes, etc. Is hardware rented, owned, or a mix? Etc. Happy to share it.

    German Email Provider Pulls Servers from United States

    Fuck it. I'm getting carrier pigeons. Actually used to help raise pigeons. Though they were tumblers =/

    German Email Provider Pulls Servers from United States

    Possibly reduced cost / cheaper power and bandwidth? Not sure.

    NSA to cut 90% of administrators due to Snowden

    To be honest, they sounded understaffed, at least for their new Utah DC. I think they only had 200 employees for that entire facility. Knowing they don't work 24 hours in a row there, that there is likely shift rotations, that leaves a small number of employees for such a vast facility on the...

    Your motd screens

    Ditto. Maybe I'll play with cowsay or figlet or something and try to make something halfway interesting.

    Silent Circle (secure email) follows Lavabit to the Cemetary

    I understand that they're sticking it to the man, or whatever, but did that message come with any notice? I did not see one. Nothing like, "Due to our beliefs we will follow suit with LavaBit. Please make arrangements within the next 48hours as all services will be rendered useless in that...

    Do you think vBoards have become too restrictive

    We've never banned you as far as I know. You post offers, they get moderated like any other offer before becoming public. I know I've sent you a PM asking you to clearify some things with a link to the rules. After a few days with no responses I remove the offer from the 'content needing...

    Why Mac is the best OS

    Different strokes for different folks. I don't hang out in coffee shops and work on my 'screen play' or use image editing tools so I can post over modified selfies on Facebook, so I don't own a Mac.

    Why you should start using FLAC

    I used to also be an avid collector of music, digitally. Hard drive failure back in 2006 or 2007. Was gutted. All my data gone. So sad. Started to rebuild. Slowly, but surely. Media collection growing and then... hard drive failure in 2009-2010. You'd think I would have learned from the first...

    Post your ride

    Still better than just buying what you can comfortably physically carry in one trip. Certain days I'll make a trip to the store in the AM and then again in the PM to get what I need. I'm no stranger to bikes, used to BMX for many years and would build my own. Lace my own wheels and all that...

    Post your ride

    Damn, nice sounding whips buffalooed. I walk. It's good for you. I see things on the way. Plus my last car broke down on the outskirts of St. Louis. It was a 2001 Honda Accord LX. All the bells and whistles. It served as my home for two days while I awaited rescue from a family member, haha...

    I'll tinker with it this weekend. Got an idle VPS sitting around.

    Goodbye Lavabit

    Looking forward to it. You write some pretty great tutorials!

    Home security systems?

    Well, I can't speak for others but I also like to target shoot. It's very therapeutic and very rewarding as you progress. I like to go to the shooting range a couple times a month, it's great to witness better groupings and better accuracy. It's not as easy as they make it look in the films :P...

    Softlayer. Source: I used to work there.* They were with The Planet which merged with Softlayer. *Arvixe, not Softlayer.
