Groceries are cheap in 'Merica compared to rest of work (lower percentage of household income on groceries and eating out than probably any industrialized nation).  However, that's eating a really bad non-food filler diet.  You eat good, right, what would be more acceptable abroad, it gets...

Not my typical schtick, but times are changing and I give out brownie points for good behavior when I think folks deserve it. This comes to us from the shadowy underside of the net, one of those black background, hack oriented communities. That was as of a few days ago. HackForums has a...

Super common.  I found a fundraising donation site this weekend purely by accident.  Very nice, very official.  Some legit stuff... a good bit of I can't believe people are asking for this for that.  Some shameless folks out there.  But other people, modest folks who suffer and we all don't...

True on perspective @MannDude. As far as income there, the company does volume. It's a respectable chunk at that. Six figures (cause Jonny has said it prior multiple times). Nothing to sneeze over.  However margins are paper thin.  You sneeze and blow a hole in the financials.  Plenty of other...

What I will say about donations is it  was a glimmer of humanity these communities need at times. Plenty of folks can give and should, not for status, but because they can relate, or know the guy or of the guy, or because they had a good day, or someone made them smile. I hate beg-a-thons,  but...

High school rich. Home business price competition. Our prices win.

If unsecured debt sales and collections are anything like in the States, they bundle all those in a portfolio.  Then it goes on market / open bid.  Floor offer is based on type of risk being assumed (which correlates to statistical likelihood people are going to pay). Paying 200 EUR for 800 EUR...

Only one point to pick and that's the speed test. Cachefly like a lot of others is minimally accurate. They are shipping a big empty file and end to end hell there might be compression or other gaming on.   Seems to be.  Reason why they don't want serve a random right sort of file. Kudos...

I like the stuff Gordon has been throwing out on dedi promos lately.   Shows thinking out of the (pun intended) box. Not to encourage a mud slinging competition, but other companies should take note on how to offer something really for a promo and which is appealing at market.  Things like this...

All fair and good.  I might agree to disagree and be it bird doo in my eye in the process. How long is @kcaj on timeout over there?   (I *wish* there was a  points or clear timeout system for such o'er there so people felt like they were being treated uniformly --- just a friendly bump).

As you all might have figured Duke was away in Dallas and just getting back home today.  Thus the quietness somewhat on his part. This week is where rubber meets road on this whole arrangement plus contract.  Hopefully both sides get it done and this misfit company gets put to bed, officially...

Oh I know you want Spazboy back.   Think of all the fun. Now if WHT is in agreement we'll have a full house.

I must say, that's a wise decision.   We have to quit meeting up like this and agreeing.  Has to be some moon cycle :) Did Nuggets give you free Gratis credit too Lee?  Dirty ass move on his part doing that to moderators.  He's a little shit. Read Nekki's post and think he got shoehorned in...

Hahaha,  he's on mouth shut mode... Been on it officially for a few months I think it is now.  As we can see that doesn't seem to work very well with him though :)  He taunted MannDude elsewhere and that lead wisely and rightly to this thread. I am sure more drama would come from Jonny joining...

You know @DomainBop you aren't going to catch any flack from me :)  I'll respond to these.  Thanks for picking at things. Resellers - I haven't a clue about those.  Let's just say they haven't been mentioned for some reasons.  Safe to say they probably aren't material to the agreement, so far...

1.  From the people that brought you SAVE THE CHILDREN.... Oh wait, wrong commercial.  People paid for service and under failedcos they get ditched and buried.  So in this they are getting what they paid for, in theory.  That benefits that subset of customers.  As you can rightly assume, GVH...

Well the cheapest option would be USB attached whatever.  Other option would be USB flash (meh)... Then there would be network attached storage (not really possible / pleasant on older models - but maybe with new). Clearly the lack of eSATA or SATA or other real interface is a shortcoming in...

For what it is worth, I still believe there is a market, regardless of price competition from Online or anyone else.  Especially where geographic location is not identical. I would buy a Pi where someone would bundle a bigger drive with it and especially where new board was offered (quad core).

Do we need another drama company?  Been quite a few of them, but GVH is up there as a legend.  Probably the most visible since CVPS did it's day in the sun.  Before it went drama light. Being optimistic, but I am hoping for fewer stupid entries into the market.  Usually the market naturally...

GVH Financials So the financials on this certainly are just as wonky as GVH was as anyone can rightly imagine.  Things will be realigned, that is to say bigger nodes in spots and dealing with repetitive head banging customers, and stupid as a case-study usage.   Some shed will happen from that...
