    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    7 replies in, and nobody's mentioned Terminator yet. You people make me feel old.

    A billing panel I am writing in my spare time

    Any time I see "doing in my spare time", I see an abandoned project in the making.

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    Ever sat down and really read the Terms of Use for a Google product?  They can claim ownership on quite literally *anything* you put on their network.

    We will, we will DDoS you...

    It was the government, ineptly breaking their spy program while trying to conquer the internet to keep tabs on pesticide experts.

    What is everyone doing for IRC?

    Been using screen for years.  It works fine and does everything I need - no reason to switch.

    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    Eh, it's something I have to prep and account for.  But honestly, I've been expecting VAT to come into play anyways from the get-go, so it's not so much a shock.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    From the same ticket.  Gotta love those 12 year old "business owners".

    Which nameservers do You use?

    *IF* I use a third-party resolver, I typically stick with Level3.  I won't even use (or recommend) Google's any more - their penchant for data collection is well past the creepy stage, and just because "I'm not doing anything wrong and have nothing to fear" doesn't mean I want some freakshow...

    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    That's actually a fairly accurate representation of how I looked sprawled on the DC floor after we moved the gear to Vegas - a 10 hour drive after already being up 32 hours >_>  I was chugging Karen's 5-hour energy things like they were водка shots for that trip.

    Hardening my server / Reality check

    Out of curiosity.. what's the one service preventing you from locking SSH down to key access only?  If it's something like FTP you could always go the SCP/SFTP route.

    123Systems sold again?

    As a former Soviet, I find that comparison rather insulting :(

    Verifying foreign accounts, how do you do it?

    Most of the providers that would accept shady payments are the types that would eat the 5$ rather than report the fraud anyway - the last thing they want is an investigation and having their own dirty secrets float up.

    How to stop webhost frome entering vps without permission?

    And this is why I will recommend FiberHub to anyone needing colocation/etc.  Rob absolutely won't tolerate that kind of theft - even when the feds have paperwork, if there's so much as a single typo he'll send them packing.  I can't begin to describe how nice it is to not be constantly stressed...

    Microsoft open sources .NET, saying it'll run on Linux and Mac

    "Maybe if we just bite the bullet and make it open, MONO will stop embarrassing us by doing it better".

    List of providers who offer DDoS protection.

    Newp, Staminus for both. CNServers had a *TON* of issues, and a rather annoying tendency of 'solving' problems by telling us "Get rid of this client, they run a CN gameserver and we won't protect them".  Funny how many US/CA/UK/etc clients we had running Chinese games.... Also worth...
