    How do you feel about the NSA spying?

    All nice and dandy, but try getting the vast majority who struggle with day to day computer tasks to use that. They simply can not and will not. Unless a solution applies to everyone, not just the most technical savvy and paranoid, I don't consider it a solution at all. I'm sure there are plenty...

    One last koding.com invite - who wants it?

    I'll go ahead and ask since their website is pretty shabby: Is it any good?

    Surface Pro.. Worth it?

    If it's just a tablet you're after then get the Surface RT. It's cheaper and will get you a longer battery life. I was looking at buying a laptop/tablet hybrid these past few months and I've definitely considered the Surface Pro. At the end of the day I didn't find a bit over 4 hours of...

    How do you feel about the NSA spying?

    That's assuming the guy on the other end of the data stream is playing fair as well. Even if the NSA as a whole is using the information appropriately, an individual employee with access might not.

    How do you feel about the NSA spying?

    Not much we can do about it, to be fair. I'd like to think the people would get a say and be able to stop this kind of espionage, but ultimately we're fairly powerless apart from abandoning all forms of communication. Like you said, they've been doing this for a while now anyway. Edit: The only...

    ChicagoVPS 256MB "Basic Holiday Promo" $12/year OpenVZ VPS

    I've had a 2GB plan with them for close to 7 months now. Bought it at a promotion and paid for annually. I can't think of any issues I had with it so far, but it's only really been used to provide shared hosting to a few of my friends and to power a few Mumble servers.

    What the provider means by saying NO to Torrents?

    I appreciate it when a provider is reasonable and doesn't complaint as long as there is no hardware abuse or DMCA complaints involved. I try to make sure each provider is okay with what I'm doing before actually going through with it, but if I were to participate, I would hang around communities...

    Sleeping hours

    4-6 hours, depends on the day. I sometimes take a 20 minute nap during the day if I feel tired, but I've managed to adapt to the sleeping schedule so I don't really feel tired. I'd rather not think about what this kind of a schedule will do to my body eventually, it's certainly not healthy.

    What the provider means by saying NO to Torrents?

    It's a shame that the BitTorrent protocol has such a negative connotation to it. It's not all bad and there are other uses than to pirate software and entertainment.

    Namecheap Domain Registration/Transfer for less than $1!

    I wonder if the coupon expires. I can't think of any domain I'd want to register at the moment.

    Setting up a restricted (whitelist) proxy

    Thanks for the guide, might come useful. On a similar note, is there any proxy solution out there that uses a username/password authorization system and allows for a monthly data transfer limit? I'm sure something could be worked out by using SSH tunneling with jailed accounts and then set the...

    Have a project in need of server space? I might be able to help...

    If they are sitting around doing nothing, you might as well put them up for rent at a minimal margin and no customer support. I can't imagine you'll find 50 projects that will meet the criteria. You might as well make some money with them, if nothing else. That's just my opinion of course. In...

    I'm speechless...

    Some people are unbelievable. What else did they expect when they gave their details out to people? It's like leaving your front door wide open and going for vacation.

    Is this design marketable?

    Slighty off-topic, but you wouldn't happen to have anything to do with LowHop, would you? Judging from your avatar, that is. As for the design, it's pretty decent. You could try your luck at the Minecraft Forums. I'm sure a server hosting provider will take interest.

    Win an Awesome HTC Phone... Absolutely free!

    I don't understand why people bother with giveaways. With 192 pages of entry submissions at 20 posts each, an individual has a 0,026% chance of winning. Is it really worth it, tarnishing your reputation at another community by advertising the giveaway?
