    Another.. company not able to keep their debts in line, and running to CC for a bailout.  Why is this news?

    Related:  this has been in my WHT inbox for quite some time, still find it amusing:

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Marketing trick, and nothing more.  I've seen the original recipies, and none of the urban legends are anywhere close to true.  Though a number of them were exceptionally clever PR tactics, originating from the original CCC itself.

    I was a soldier at that age.  A worker since his sister's age.  If, after all of his mistakes and chances and advice given to him, *THIS* is what it takes for the child to have a wake-up call, then he's earned every bit of whatever happens to him.

    Silk Road operator sentenced to life in prison

    A good example of actions having consequences.

    Jonny Nguyen - GreenValueHost - Raided by Police.

    That's pretty irrelevant, honestly. You've had business dealings with the kid, you're going to be sniffed at some point.

    Jonny Nguyen - GreenValueHost - Raided by Police.

    I bet Duke is THRILLED to be officially associated with that clownshoes.  Fair chance he'll get reeled into the mess as well, especially if some of Jonny Wonder's other dirty history floats up from the investigation.

    BlueVM sold / change of ownership? (UPDATE 5/14: Now owned by ChicagoVPS)

    He tends to hide from issues that put him into a corner he can't BS his way out of.

    Memorial day weekend. What are your plans?

    Yardwork to do this weekend, back to work Monday.  The Lafayette plant has Memorial Day off, and we get Labor Day.

    The gun thread

    Been working on converting my Vepr into a more maneuverable scout rifle - easily exchangable accessories, QD fittings, etc.  Finally got everything assembled tonight, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

    Looking for some VPS sponsors

    CEO? So, a licensed establishment or non-profit then? Last I checked, CEO's begged for bailouts, not sponsors.

    RMA Never Felt So Good

    I don't have anything fancy (just my phone), and I can't really ask someone to stand next to the drives while I take shots at them >_>  But next time I bring some out, I'll see what I can do.  If those super-fast cameras that give ridiculous FPS weren't so expensive, I'd definitely look into...

    Usernames used by people here

    No reason to have a generic company name as a username when signatures make it pretty clear on the 'who works for who' front.

    RMA Never Felt So Good

    Well, I still have about a dozen and a half or so drives left.  Maybe I can talk the boss into funding some... ordinance supplies for extended testing :3  Actually... bingo.  Next test will be placing some drives in a box with a 95/5 mix of ammonia nitrate and aluminum powder, and seeing how...

    RMA Never Felt So Good

    At a slight angle... but in the wrong direction for the entry angle.  I'm honestly not sure what the hell happened there.  The drives were just leaned against posts, not secured down or anything - so my best guess is it hit at just the right angle to knock over the drive during impact, resulting...

    RMA Never Felt So Good

    Still have a number of drives left, so subjected them to something that hits a bit harder: 91/30 Мосина, fires 7,62x54r ammunition.  For you американцы, it's a little bigger than the 308 Winchester.  Placed 3 of the Seagates at 200 yards, and the results: Honestly, not as much trauma as I...

    Mozilla bundles proprietary extension with Firefox

    I could forgize Mozilla for quite a bit, if they had simply stopped fucking around with Sync.  Being able to sync saved data stored on my own server to my devices was fantastic - now you either let them save your data for you, or you can waste a great deal of time with the "fixed self-hosted"...

    What is the biggest mistake that you have seen a web host make?

    I recall a west-coast "provider" that knowingly sold to criminal spammers for a tidy profit, and simply blocked all of their outgoing mail to prevent listings.  Same provider had this recurring habit of hardware randomly vanishing off the racks to be resold, with no word/explanation to the...

    Device security while traveling?

    When travelling, I use an 'empty' laptop.  OS and all necessary data are on a 'livecd' microsd that never leaves my person.  Much of my work is done remotely on secured containers anyways.
