    The great gun debate thread.

    Well, if you want to judge lethality based on killcount:  Religion has been responsible for more deaths than any other single cause, but I don't see anyone trying to make superstition illegal yet.  (Just an example.  If you're religious, kindly don't derail an interesting topic with boring...

    Google migrating to MariaDB MySQL !

    I said what I meant.  But you are correct, I take issue with how they handle sensitive information as well.  Like I said - nothing I'm going to crusade again.  I don't like their policies, so I don't use them, simple as that. And aye, I know that some projects won't be as profitable to them. ...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    I am affiliated with a provider, and I'll "bash" specific actions and mentalities out of principle.  It's not a matter of competition - hell, it takes more than just a group of cookie-cutter Solus provisionists to even be considered competition for us and some other hosts here anyways.

    Google migrating to MariaDB MySQL !

    My 'anti-Google mentality' is solely based on my distaste for how they treat user information on their services.  I don't go on any crusade against this - I simply stopped using them.  Now, regarding projects they get involved in - they have a bit of a history of suddenly abandoning projects...

    Google migrating to MariaDB MySQL !

    Bye bye Maria.  Hope you have a more dignified end than most of the other 'projects' Google picks up and abandons (or worse, churns into the corporate engine).

    A VPS for each TV in USA

    So you're saying I'm abnormal for having a quad? >_> Not so much a troll as just... not exactly grounded in reality.

    Website Review

    Well, if we are going to be honest;  you could stand to learn a few things from how this kid tends not to overreact to criticism by trying to shout down naysayers.

    So... are we taking bets on this one, or what?

    Didn't have any milk at the office >_>

    Should you encrypt your hard drive on a server

    Yes.  You can just kill the VM, mount the LVM from the node, and go rooting around just like you could an OpenVZ.  We've had to do this a couple of times when a client FUBAR'd their install, but had data they absolutely had to recover.

    What's for Lunch?

    Cheerios and Whiskey.

    Which vps hoster allows tor hidden services?

    As opposed to a project designed and deployed BY an alphabet agency, right? :P In all seriousness though - that's differentiating protecting who you are from protecting what you're doing. You can quite easily obtain a VPN to achieve both goals. Quite right, public wifi can be risky. If you get...

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    I told him once that he reeks of fear.  I really cant think of any better description for how they act.

    UGVPS = Thomas Dale = Crystal Dale = ChicagoVPS = Dig the Mine

    That's not quite the problem.  Quality comes with a cost, always has.  That's why you don't see us competing in the ridiculous RAM races.  If your only choice is having to 'go budget' (NOT something a host should do), then you should either be working very hard to resolve that situation, or step...

    UP2VPS, How NOT to Regain a Customer

    Last time Fran spelled 'guarantee', we ended up halfway between 'phallus' and 'ohgoditburns'. >_>

    UP2VPS, How NOT to Regain a Customer

    Yar, that's why I get stuck with writing our mass emails and such XD

    Which vps hoster allows tor hidden services?

    Gotta disagree completely there.  Completely ignoring all of the Free/Open VPN services (or the paid ones that accept bitcoin and care not what you put for your name), you can easily pick up a pre-paid phone with a data plan without submitting ID.  Head over to XDA, grab an Android ROM to flash...

    Did you know a 3rd world trade center tower fell on 9/11?

    It's always amazed me, the complete lack of respect Americans (and just kids in general) can show.  Not every disaster needs to be turned into a joke, or be the excuse to bullhorn your opinions at people.
