    Google Nexus 5

    Google's abandonment issues have me leery of touching anything they put out now.  HTC has been solid for me, been using their phones over a decade now - plus I love how dev/mod friendly they are.  Pricey, but the quality of the phone makes it well worth the investment.

    I suppose it depends on who's saying it.  Language is a powerful tool, but it's also a crutch.  I can take plenty of innocent things people say and twist them racially - but unless I know someone is a racist, I tend to associate 'bad side of town' with 'not the best place to be caught after dark...

    Trying to insult Americans, I guess >_>

    Another movie shooting

    No, I'm cashing in my distant relation to the Романовы and employing the royal plural. "Us" would be anyone sharing my sentiment and not giving a damn about race. Bad, bad, bad idea.  A firearm is only an intimidation tactic to someone that has something to lose.  If you decide to show your...

    Sure, I'll be the one to say it. The reason racism still exists, is because of people like you.  You do nothing but belittle yourself, and insult those of us that don't look at race, with such asinine accusations.

    Experience begs to differ >_<

    Which companies need reviews?

    ... y'know, if you ran projects for more than a day before closing them, clients would have a fairer chance at giving them a try.

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    If you want to be taken seriously, perhaps reign in some of the ping-ponging between "I'm legit" and cloudcuckoolander.  The only impression I have of you so far is to never treat seriously.

    Simple server monitoring - Feedback appreciated (Public beta)

    Maybe he's being careful, and getting a feel of how resources will be used rather than biting off more than he can chew.

    Which companies need reviews?

    To that end, my suggestion is that Curtis (and participant) not announce that they're doing a review until after the fact - that way the replies from the support department in question are unbiased and natural.

    My Google Glass edition has arrived! (Pictures)

    Yeah, if mine had lasted 15 (or hell, even 10) years I would've considered it a better investment.  But the initial screwup (and this from the most qualified doc in the area) took three visits.  And even after that, I needed glasses again after maybe a year and a half, tops.  I can see fine...

    My Google Glass edition has arrived! (Pictures)

    LASIK is stopgap.  While convenient, it's not permanent, and should be considered an 'expendable income' solution.

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    While true, still irrelevant.  I could defend myself from Jeffrey Dahmer with ease, but that doesn't mean I would do business with him.

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    Wait, you actually host that guy?  Knowing what he's done?

    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    Nah, not implying he should release details/etc.  But not at least dropping by and saying "Hey guys, check this out *link to news release*" just seems ... odd.

    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    The owner (SeriesN, I believe?) used to be quite active here.  The silence now doesn't bode well.

    Robert Clarke DDoS'd Brings the Internet Down...

    Nah - you gotta keep in mind the company this kid hangs with.  Pretty much everything he does either ends with some skid getting pissed and DDoSing him, or some skid getting pissed and trying to get him raided.  I don't endorse DDoS as a method of retaliation - but I'm not going to lie and say I...

    NinjaHawk Purchased By One of the Giants* of the VPS Industry

    tl;dr - they owe use 600$ from years back, and have no intent of paying up.

    Google plus is now part of google mail

    Even if you put aside Google's issues concerning privacy - why would you put stake in a product from a company with a proven track record of abandoning 'long term' projects?  g(Plus|Mail) is just eventually going to take the same route as Wave, RSS, etc.

    Related to Encryption

    Too late to back-pedal.  Censoring an ID is worthless - you either have to obscure too much information and invalidate it as 'proof', or too little and defeat the purpose. Besides, censoring is irrelevant.  ANYONE invested in the concept of security would not scan their identification and...
