    Sitting in a Denny's now - Fran and I are tearing through some pancakes while he works on the Filtering and I get caught up on tickets.

    Gotta love how brave they get when he hides behind a monitor =P Just waiting on networking now.

    BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

    They reeked of fear. Couldn't even make eye contact with us. But they at least had the balls to come downstairs.. same can't be said for the ones with louder mouths.

    Which do you prefer: A fast support response or a detailed response with support?

    As long as the problem is solved, and any questions I've asked are answered, I'm satisfied.  I don't need a history or manpage excerpt of how `ls -ahl` functions so long as any questions I did pose are answered. From a provider suspective;  I give a basic rundown of what the problem was, and...

    BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

    We just flew in around lunchtime... hit up some food and found a hotel room.  Kicking back relaxing at the moment - we wont be heading to the DC until tomorrow morning.

    BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

    ... No.  We just decided it'd be fun to come eat at a Yankee Denny's.

    BuyVM - Leaving Buffalo Early

    Would be par for the course with them, honestly. I'm in Cleveland now, waiting for my last connection to BUF to meet up with Fran and get our vehicle.

    I can't believe we weren't deported.

    That just means you need to drink more. A wise man once shared with me the ultimate hangover remedy: 1 - Never stop drinking. EOF

    OK, which one of you stole my credit card...

    I remember PayPal used to issue temporary CC numbers that would pull right from the account balance for a single transaction.  Might be worth checking to see if they still do this.

    Copy and Paste Tablet to Desktop

    echo "Some text here" | mail -s "subject" machine@localnet Alternately: ssh 10.0.0.10 -t "echo 'Some Text' | wall" The latter probably being more efficient if you don't already use mail daemons for internal communication.  If you can SSH to it, you can use wall to send a message to all...

    OK, which one of you stole my credit card...

    With WHMCS, the CC hash key is stored in configuration.php.  With all of the recent WHMCS exploits, it would've been trivial to see that file as plaintext, and use the key to reverse all of the stored CCs.

    24khost, where are you?

    He's either US or CA.  I've done the same (currently residing in the US); except that I notified PayPal of what I was doing in advance.  They thanked me for the update, and kept me in the loop on how the case was handled.

    OK, which one of you stole my credit card...

    Well, there have been an abnormal number of buyouts lately.  Some of the parties involved not very trustworthy to begin with, too... perhaps someone thought they could make an extra buck after selling their company by selling a backup of the DB with client info and CCs.

    Consumer perspective: openvz vs KVM

    While very true - I was the consumer in my anecdote :P

    "Hack Forums" Hosts

    Regardless of how true any of these claims are, Kelvin needs a swift kick in the ass for bringing the short bus here.  We've gone for quite some time without this nonsense;  it was rather nice while it lasted.

    Consumer perspective: openvz vs KVM

    For me, trust takes precedence over convenience.  There are very few providers I trusted enough to use OpenVZ with (pretty much just KuJoe and BigTim).  I still end up going with KVM in most cases, though.  I've never been a big fan of templates, prebuilds, etc... the "If it's worth doing"...

    24khost, where are you?

    I'm with Martin on this one.  Without proper clarification, there's way too much uncertainty and ambiguity.  Why hasn't there been any more official information publicly released from 24k?

    BuyVM announces free SSD upgrades on all 256MB+ OpenVZ plans!

    [/SPOILER] HAH. And we were just talking about starting the Dias Crime Family due to our new hats :P

    Bluetooth headphones < $50?

    I've had a very similar pair for years (prior model), and absolutely loved them.  Honestly can't remember ever having problems with them.  Only downside is it takes a little while to get used to the feel of them against your neck.

    24khost, where are you?

    I was referring more to the "provider" that thought it would be a good time to swoop in and try to make a few sales from the situation.
