    The truth about ColoCrossing

    To be fair, I'm sure the 'legit' employees have insurance/benefits/whatever the law requires.  But when I asked about having coverage for myself and my daughter, I was told "You'd have to provide your own".  This, in combination with their stipulation that I would have to leave Frantech/BuyVM in...

    The truth about ColoCrossing

    This exactly.  Chris threatened me with lawsuits multiple times over my commentary in the past - he was told to go fuck himself and be grateful that he was worth enough of my time to even receive the reply.  Plus, DMCA is incredibly shaky grounds to begin with.  For starters, I reject email...

    The Almighty' Bitcoin Discussion.

    That's the exact point I'm making.  "Currency" would be worthless, whereas commodities and precious metals could still have value. Aah, but you're looking at it from the wrong angle.  It is exceptionally rare for the value of finite resources such as gold/silver to change.  What's actually...

    The Almighty' Bitcoin Discussion.

    Did you seriously just compare a fabricated 'currency' (and I use that term very loosely) to a precious metal that's been used in trade for thousands of years, has an established and finite value, and is the basis of exchange for most national currencies?

    How to make sure I don't return to your website...

    touch ~/.nanorc echo "bind ^F whereis main" >> ~/.nanorc Ctrl-F will now perform text searches just as Ctrl-W did.

    Why is there no maximum wage

    East Texas, aye... being their neighbor is likely what caused my animosity there :P  Haven't spent enough time in West Texas or Oklahoma to form any opinion of them though. Admittedly though, my dislike of Orange/Beaumont/etc PALES in comparison for the absolute intolerance I have of Jersey and...

    Why is there no maximum wage

    Yah, see, this is why I live down in the corner, by the Gulf :P  Baton Rouge and Alexandria are horrible places -_-.  And once you get up around Jackson and Ouchita... eeeeeeeeeeeeh almost as bad as going to Texas >_>

    Why is there no maximum wage

    Louisiana suh, not Los Angeles :P.  Referencing the 'parish' quote - we're the only state that has 'em, and it's pretty rare to run into someone that remembers the original meaning of the word when not talking about government mappings.

    Why is there no maximum wage

    Wait a minute... you're in LA? >_>

    Why is there no maximum wage

    Oh look, another "question" ripped from a chanboard, phrased in a manner to stir up class drama.  The real question is... why do you folks keep feeding the troll?

    Converting .flv to .mp3 via command line? (Debian)

    Not really relevant to his question, but what Fran was referring to earlier is another nifty trick for youtube-dl + mplayer, especially for those of us that dislike ads: Used to, you could directly stream youtube URLs through mplayer.  Then a few years back, Youtube changed how .flvs were...

    Converting .flv to .mp3 via command line? (Debian)

    This functionality is built into youtube-dl already. Post-processing Options: -x, --extract-audio convert video files to audio-only files (requires ffmpeg or avconv and ffprobe or avprobe) --audio-format FORMAT "best", "aac", "vorbis", "mp3", "m4a", "opus", or "wav"; best...

    ColoCrossing Companies

    To clarify, I have it on good faith that I was referred to in such a manner during a 'business discussion'.  Hence the quotes :3  Doesn't bother me any - if they think I was mean then, I simply won't let them off the hook so easily next time and show them what asshole really means.

    East Coast DDOS Filtering

    I never said I was comparing them.  Just keeping in mind what alternatives to remind people of when they're no longer welcome with us.

    East Coast DDOS Filtering

    I'll keep that in mind for the next person wanting special favours just to competitively resell our services.

    New York - What Interest is there?

    Haven't they been saying the same about IPv6 for years now?  Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in promises of 'improvements to come'.

    The truth about ColoCrossing

    It was pretty crappy to post private corespondence without consent in the first place.

    ColoCrossing Companies

    Nope.  He did want to ban me from the CC ticket system, and I have it on good faith that "Aldryic is a dick".. but this was someone butthurt over some commentary I made, that doesn't have the stones to face me directly, and has made a habit of going running to the boss when Anthony or I give an...

    Aah, gotcha.  Fair enough, thanks for the straight answer.
