    Best US state to register an LLC?

    LLC's in a huge percentage are just sole proprietors isolating their personal assets from suits.  It is limited liability, something the Bible and other ancient books speak about being a bad thing. So you fail, company owes people, you limit your liability.  They can't come collect your lint...

    Best coding language to know in 2015?

    Python remains the steady go to for many projects. As always, learning C seems to be gateway to good things.  Those traditionally educated tend to have been forced into C programming as part of their studies.

    "Definitely Possible" : Microsoft Considers Open Source Windows.

    The folks counting market share are full of shit.  Linux is way bigger than 1%. To start I lump Apple in since their OS is Unix and Linux and Unix are more related than cousins. Second I look at folks like myself and there are no Windows OS installs here.  My desktops and workstations all run...

    Burn in Hell AT&T - Unlimited Lies Have them Simmering in Government Water

    It's funny, here Sprint has coverage and lots of MVNO's reselling their stuff.  Tried on 3G a year or three back and was horrendous.   Have a Sprint reseller with a 4G handset now and much peppier.  Not on level of the current big market speed brags I see out there there.  Maybe 5Mbps throughput...

    Singapore VPS - Specific Datacenter

    Singapore can be quite spotty on speed.  Lots of throttling and congestion to Singapore's domestic networks. It's a relatively way more expensive place for transit.  It is not a market to buy blindly in like people do routinely in the US and Europe.  You have to get right network mix going for...

    TrueCrypt under Windows is NOT SECURE - "unfixed security issues"

    An audit of TrueCrypt has come back clean, no backdoors. Yippies!!! Perhaps from the ashes it shall rise again. https://opencryptoaudit.org/reports/TrueCrypt_Phase_II_NCC_OCAP_final.pdf

    Burn in Hell AT&T - Unlimited Lies Have them Simmering in Government Water

    AT&T cannot get the US Federal Trade Commission to toss a lawsuit over ripping off an estimated 3.5 million "unlimited" data plan customers who they routinely threshold met throttled. Now word is that the FCC is coming after AT&T for the same behavior. AT&T argued that the FTC doesn't have...

    Iran now to be US' Less Nuclear Trading Partner

    Throw Wholesale/Datashack in that pile too.  That was established per owner's public admission and it's out there and has been for years on the interwebs.

    Quarter rack colocation and datacenter suggestion in the US midwest?

    I'd skip those KC providers.  That network has too much bad neighbor behavior and who knows what cozy in the router. Joe's Datacenter in KC isn't related to them, and mixes their own network these days I do believe.   The Monticello location recommended above is cool.  It's a decommissioned...

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    That language was pulled directly from the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act: https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text It is found in 803(5): (5) The term "debt" means any obligation or alleged obligation of a...

    Bahahaha, I need a vpsBoard WayBackMachine...   What did I miss? Was he offering SEO services again also?  ^ Still waiting for an explanation on that.  Thought the UFO abducted him.

    Thoughts on public shaming / blacklist of accounts in negative standing?

    Dissecting legal hairs here about the Fair Debt Collection Practice: "The term "debt" means any obligation or alleged obligation of a consumer to pay money arising out of a transaction in which the money, property, insurance or services which are the subject of the transaction are primarily for...

    Acceptable time to wait for ticket response?

    There are some sLowend companies that were notorious for jerking the chicken like that.    I am no fan of ticket hockey and unneeded updates like that.  Totally with you on this one.  Meaningful responses, not empty discards littering my inbox.

    Should service providers be able to refuse service based on country?

    There are folks who claim China is good to them.  But larger experience all over is indeed lots of fraud and chargebacks.

    RaidLogic.net out of business?

    I am of the school of thought where you leave the deceased buried. This rebirth I don't think is going to go so well.  Carries baggage from back there and probably mad prior customers who will show up here and there. Yeah, do a new company for your own sake if intending on being serious.

    Should service providers be able to refuse service based on country?

    That sh!t. Amazing to me to see the USA being all protectionist about little ole innocent Israel. Back in 1977 when this BS piece of government crap was enacted, Rabbi, Abdullah Youssef was the Chief Rabbi of Israel.  His beliefs on the role of every non Jewish human on the planet in later...

    Bitcoin Wallet - Linux - recommendations?

    I am interested in using Bitcoin, as a holder of such, as an end customer.  Late to the party and probably about right time to jump in. Looking for a wallet solution for Bitcoin, that runs locally, in Linux (Debian). Ideally something that is flexible enough to support offline (isolating a...
