I'll second that @Zen. I'll go above and beyond for a client even far beyond what is reasonable. However, when they line themselves up with a clear message that they will be worth none of it, appreciate none of it, and expect no less than it, they will get none of if. When you're polite and...

Bahahahahahahaha

This is true and actually a carefully made choice for a lot of reasons I won't bore anyone with here, but I'm actually quite proud of this detail :)

Bottom line is be respectful to your provider. Don't treat them like your house servant. You pay for service but you're also expected to be a decent human being. They have other clients. Catalyst can burst gigabit speeds (I do it to Atlanta) and its quite evident that a software issue is...

I second this motion.

I like what you appear to be doing, but would you mind if I asked for you to introduce yourself here for everyone? Personally, I'm a little turned off by people being anonymous right now in light of recent events. I think that it's fairly justified.

No it won't. They only want attention. They're feeding off the "lulz" here so deprive them of that by banning every new name they make and encouraging hosts to deal with these matters quietly so long as clients are not directly impacted. They are nothing more than children who demand to be...

I really appreciate you guys shutting down my business for a week. Me and Ryan both out of town, myself on very bad Internet and no cell signal. Don can only be expected to stay awake so much. This was an unusual week as I work one job out of town every year and Ryan went to hostingcon...

We were hit. By none other than...a pie which is half eaten. I don't know how I stack up, but the two guys I work with are pro.

I love it with the more secure approach becomes the more simplistic option. Proper hashing techniques are really just painfully simple. Granted, our background in this stuff automatically makes it difficult to see it from an outsider perspective. Perhaps "encryption" has just been around long...

Truth be told my mind just doesn't gravitate toward simple solutions sometimes. Over thinking I guess. I would replace my recommendations with this. It's one of those "don't fix it if it ain't broke" scenarios. VirtualBox is good old "tried and true" here.

I'm not aware of how to force a VM to use a physical monitor. I've no doubt it can be done, but doesn't sound fun. More likely you'd just be opening a RDP session and maximizing it. I'd say that's more than sufficient, personally.

First step would be to test it in a well configured wine environment. I suggest crossover for this. If that fails, I'd question if using Ubuntu because they package a very nice KVM virtualization manager that's GUI based and would be perfect for a dual display environment.

To be honest I never really felt restricted by the $7 limit on LEB/LET. I had an appreciation for the community and I saw an opportunity for mutual benefit. I know my server administration style and I knew that I had something to offer people. At the same time, Catalyst was lacking a solid...

There are only so many ways to do a touch screen mobile device. It's not like they're going to make it where you have to throw it against the wall to unlock it in the name of not being accused of ripping someone off :P Truly good products don't always have to reinvent the wheel, but can take...

No matter the company, you can most likely point out a form of redundancy that they could have but do not. I think we're all willing to sacrifice redundancy for cost, but the real question is our preference on where to take that hit. There is a lot of redundancy that one could put in place to...

Thunderbolt 2 and an external PCIe enclosure is clearly their intended path for expansion. It's plenty capable for that, preferences of card location aside. As for processor, single E5 is nothing to shake a stick at and certainly not comparable to the Mac Mini. It's interesting for sure, but...

You can get thunderbolt PCIe enclosures right now that pretty much allow whatever type of expansion you want. The Thunderbolt2 doubles the potential throughput so I'm interested to see some enclosures that take more than 1 card.

The design could be genius for cooling. Theoretically. I'd like the chance to test the theory... they should give me one. Seriously though I'm pretty sure I'd cause it to overheat by mistaking it for a trash can.

Congrats on the expansion, welcome to Texas!
