    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    Just going to add my two cents here... we offer PayPal and Amazon SimplePay for our payment gateways - and have a fair number of large/global companies that retain service with us, and have absolutely zero qualms about what payments we accept. WSWD, you need to get over yourself.  Just because...

    If you weren't working in this industry, what would you rather be doing?

    For me, family.  Not just the spousal unit and offspring, but also BuyVM - we're a pretty tight (albiet dysfunctional at times) family that just happens to be spread out a bit. Aye, I'm aware plenty of soldiers have families.  But the husbands in my old unit lied to their families about what...

    If you weren't working in this industry, what would you rather be doing?

    I've seen different coloured stickers placed on newspaper boxes (attached to mailboxes)... but those served the practical application of letting the paperman know what days said box received a paper.

    If you weren't working in this industry, what would you rather be doing?

    My desires run similar to KuJoe's.  Of all the things I've done, some of the Army wetwork as a 97E was my favourite.  Though what I enjoyed most wasn't always guaranteed to be the task of the day... I suppose bounty hunting would be my choice.

    Ransom IT KVM offers in Sydney and Adelaide (Australia), 256MB/512MB/1GB, offers starting at $42 ann

    I've been waiting years to see someone say this.  Were I in the market for another south hemisphere VM, that one line would've sold me on buying from you.

    Oh, you'll love this, then.  He's a "Community Liason" (formerly a Content Curator) on WHT.

    BuyVM announces free backups for all 256MB+ OpenVZ plans!

    We run a solid business plan, as opposed to leasing cheap gear and strong-arming our clients :3

    BuyVM announces free backups for all 256MB+ OpenVZ plans!

    He forgot to mention - there is not a waiting list yet (so please don't open a ticket this early >_>), and we're not gonna do pre-pay/etc to hold a spot.  I will do a mass mail (and reply here or a new thread) when we are ready to start accepting said dibs, though :P

    I don't think Fran even remembers which box the site is on anymore XD  Anyways, that's fixed now :P

    Anyone need free billing? :)

    I would wish you the best of luck.. but given that multiple times now you've completely ignored what I actually said and only answered what you wanted to hear, I would rather wish the poor folks trusting you and using an ill thought out platform luck - they'll need it. Word of parting advice -...

    Windows users

    Dead soon, but not quite yet.  You can still grab the binaries to install and hold onto.  Personally, the only thing I use outside of mplayer is Subsonic.

    Anyone need free billing? :)

    Sorry mec, but that’s not really a guarantee at all.  Reasonable by whose standards?  What precautions?  Were your security implementations tested and verified by a trusted third party, or are you making this claim on the assumption that your work, reviewed only by yourself, is good enough...

    Guess who's back?

    And that's a big reason I'd never trust Ashley.  Back before he turned belligerant and started pulling crap like this, I picked up a VM with him to test out.  When I found out he was selling, I asked to get my (now cancelled) account removed as I had no desire to have my information passed...

    Anyone need free billing? :)

    That doesn't answer the first question - what guarantees of security can you give?  What measures do you take (in technical terms, not layman’s) to prevent security leaks?  What does "fixing it" entail?  Pulling a Solus/WHMCS and releasing a new patch every two days?  Are you required to report...

    Anyone need free billing? :)

    What guarantees of safety/security do you provide?  And should a compromise occur (nothing, nothing is 100% locked down), what is your proposed compensation and course of action?

    Guess who's back?

    While a good example, your uncle's situation is a bit different.  Anyone signing up to the banks he opens is a customer of the bank, not him.  When he turns over the reigns and moves on, he's not selling a list of client names/addresses/CCs to another person - those folks were always a member of...

    Sounds like someone's been hanging around Chris too long.  Talk about your serious delusions of grandeur.

    vpsBoard community gameserver...

    Day of Defeat is the only multiplayer game I really do often.. even SWTOR I just solo and treat like a KOTOR 3. Minecraft could be a fun idea - and you could eliminate trolls fairly easily by simply having users PM (or post on a specific thread/forum) to get an account.  Otherwise.. aye...

    Best Linux OS for desktop use?

    Skip the XFCE, go right for Fluxbox :3

    Guess who's back?

    I wonder when folks are going to realize that he's in the name/address-selling business, not the VPS-selling business.
