    Converting .flv to .mp3 via command line? (Debian)

    The two steps in my solution which come from cobbling the docs shoved into a bash file to do more / be portable and reusable, that's the idea.  Use to have such a thing.   But low priority/disorganization and that script went vapor on me.

    What is size of your Monitor?

    Wow!  A book on the desk and blam.   I have had two bad experiences with Samsung brand monitors bought new failing with the line issue.   I am a work area freak about bumps and bangs, so very stumped Giving HP a try now with their IPS lower cost models.  About do my unboxing :) Timely topic...

    Follow Us - Colo@ Datacenter Facility Construction Progress

    Makes sense how this works.  This is in addition to room air conditioning too, correct?  So reduces the HVAC cooling load some, yes.  Certainly more comfortable.  I use to often pack and use fingerless gloves and a fleece hat in some of my datacenter overnight work sessions.  That's when sitting...

    DotVPS Multiple Locations OpenVZ+KVM Offers

    Good clean post.  Seems to have most of the bases covered. Atlanta, Georgia - Wiresix = Colo@ = ??? which datacenter owner.   Good place though :) Dallas, Texas - Quadranet - never see this brand mentioned at this location.  Know they have space within a datacenter there.   Is that location...

    What is size of your Monitor?

    So what is the cause of these various, like above random steady colored lines?    I have one monitor that started doing that and it was mega low use and babied. Some common issue like poor assembly and seating of ribbon connector(s) or is this the liquid crystal itself going bonkers?

    How to make sure I don't return to your website...

    Yeah, well I block most everything from Gulagle Inc.  Never saw these before :) The web is much nicer when you control the guests to your browser house party.

    Monitors -- Features and What YOU Recommend

    @Pmadd, matte finish --- pretty good in all working environment (high natural light, a dark room, etc.)? Leaning for matte finish since glare is bit much for me typically and results in covering the windows up.

    Volumedrive about to deadpool?

    Open peering aka peering exchange? OVH's network even in the States is pretty good. I am a big fan of peer exchanges, but not many providers that delve into them heavily have managed to do so well. US being such a big place means bad routing can get really bad and long. Less impactful to...

    Monitors -- Features and What YOU Recommend

    In light of the other monitor thread, let's talk about what you recommend for current monitor models. What are the features you are shopping for? What sort of connectors do you feel are mandatory? Do you prefer the matte finishes on the screen over the very common highly reflective surfaces...

    ColoCrossing Companies

    I am certain CVPS and CC both give special deals to their customers, especially where customers are able to go out and fend off their detractors some. It's like dealing with the mob though.  Yeah, "you're hurting, we'll swing you some relief, just because we are nice, you don't owe us anything."...

    East Coast DDOS Filtering

    HackForums should have been shuttered eons ago @KuJoe. I see a lot of mention of low end companies on HF.  It's one of the first places I go looking for hosts and their fans to determine trust of new/unfamiliar companies.  No, I am not a user there, just use the search engine to determine such...

    What is size of your Monitor?

    Those with IPS LCDs, what is your take on them?  Worth the additional cost?

    30% Off Recuring 1GB of RAM, 60GB disk space. Gigabit PORT. LA & NY Only $4.9

    Colocrossing?    Yeah, BTW, Colocrossing IS NOT a datacenter.  So, wise to include both the datacenter and the company in the middle.

    Volumedrive about to deadpool?

    I am so glad we have @RyanD on here contributing. Spot on about the loss leader on the $49 E3. VD has income and likely subsidizing things from other streams (VPS maybe?)  But selling those E3's all at a loss or neutral gain, haha!

    ColoCrossing Companies

    Unsure if I blurted this out on this thread or another - skimming and replying :) UGVPS is a real company.  Not a house/CC owner company.   The clue to others for now is that UGVPS uses non-CC locations.  House brands never do that :) I pulled UG's info a while back.  Crystal, she isn't likely...

    What is size of your Monitor?

    Bloomberg. :) I remember those (earlier ones) from my daytrading days.  Worth it? ahh not really.    Rather have straight raw data feeds near-time.   Forget all the other crap. Yeppers, automated lots of my trading based on scraping and streams.
