Weren't this folks also involved in the DotVPS aborted merger? Been quite a bit of activity out of them this year, especially with the UK DDoS attacks.   Something truly is afoul.   I don't see others claiming slowdowns in purchasing.  Me I suspect others don't want to show their own weakness...

Oh, I do agree with that concept.  Still a tad weary.   I am not inclined to get up to snuff and auditing every bit of code just to disprove my suspicions.   I mean, I was weary of corporations (I don't believe they should exist except for a small duration of a project --- certainly not...

Anal Ticks.... Funny.  Analytics has to be one of the WORST names one could come up with for a product or line or study, ever.

Definitely going to give Iceweasel another look.  Plugins are semi-important for many reasons, so ideally it is compatible with Firefox plugins.  I am done with Google.  I can't think of anything dumber to be engaged with than them.  They are deceivers and serial liars (where is our resident...

So, do we consider Ramadan a holiday in the Muslim world or is the word holiday a non native / unfamiliar word?  (never know where some sliver of enlightenment shall escape from). I've had many friends who were Islam adherents.   Never managed to fully grasp everything and their practices were...

Those are the alternatives and hardly alternatives sort of.  They have to be highly suspect, right?  Just sane to scrutinize them. Hoping all our collective mistrust and fear of sorts leads to new alternatives that spring from the ashes.  This might be what it takes to upset the apple cart of...

Happy dinner time to you also.   Time for a good proper meal, right? Wish more Americans knew of Ramadan.  Knowledge cures most fear and bad behavior. Do you fast other times also?   I am a regular faster.   As in multiple times per week.

Yeah, but you are using the worlds most popular male model talking head spokesperson for hosting :)  Get another head for your chat icon :)  That dudes mug is every-freaking-where.   We know your secret bahahahahaha!

Possible.  Surprised with the months of DDoS attacks against them in the UK that they haven't abandoned things there / swam to another provider / escaped to another country. In the US, according to their website:  PhoenixNAP in Arizona, WEBNX in Los Angeles Certainly resellers in both...

NodeDeploy, a provider active on LET announced they are running from the United States. They are closing their locations for VPS in the States citing a lagging demand for services. Impossible to say if their experience is indicative of the market generally or just the low end market. What do...

I am a long time Opera user.   I've liked Opera since it isn't directly owned by the pig corporatists at Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. Wasn't happy when they started shoe horning Google as the search provider.  Certainly miffed that their Android version defaults to Google and won't let you...

Anything you can do @Manndude to address those would be marvelous. Just being consistent with overwhelming sentiment of the silent majority about privacy, leakage, monitoring, etc. Very appreciated!

And to add to the lovefest: 1. Google +1 https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js 2. http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=376004292525718 More spyola crap infestation found on vpsBoard. Can we just host the functionality on files served directly from vpsBoard instead?   I'd...

Sure, the OP is interested, I am interested and likely others.  Tell us more.   The market here needs more options.  Advertising mode for this welcomed :) Post away mate!

So, I am hyper critical of the sites I visit these days and even more critical of what is within the pages I visit. vpsBoard is one of my favorites, but in light of the NSA, FBI and their spying and entities like Google, Apple, Microsoft, AT&T, Verizon, etc. all being willing co-conspirators to...

Thanks much Phil!  I am a Droid novice truly.   Just know what I need to weed and prune. Disabling the radio in these ways, any idea of how that might differ from turning on Airplane mode?   That's how I run my phones - Airplane mode on and then I manually enable WIFI only.

47.8 MB/s isn't going to win any races.  But it's acceptable, especially for discount priced VPS.   I've seen plenty of established providers with disk IO speeds that were far less than 47 MB/s.

Well that's interesting.  Doubt it works with unactivated phones though.  Since it is a software feature disable, surely that can be overrode remotely.   What I am more inclined to trust is as Aldy pointed to, a hadware disabling via the underlying software stack breaking for the cell...

Still running polipo.... It still is crashing. No clue as to why. Utterly random about crashing also. Don't get it. Have it running in Virtualbox instance with way more resources than it needs. Tweaked ulimits to eliminate that common batch of issues. Still a problem.

I am fond of LG's phones.   Good solid workhorses in my experience --- after you cleanse them of carrier spyware and other nasty stuff (think they all require such though). Both Samsung and HTC seem to be of rather high quality these days.  Samsung on paper leads on runtime/battery life specs...
