    Anonymous Web-host shut down, owner arrested; Tor users compromised by Javascript exploit

    To be fair, its no less accurate an assumption than "He is involved with HF, he is probably a skid!".  I'm sure HF has some legitimate learning material (... nope, couldn't say it with a straight face);  but we all know what's actually going on there.

    Home security systems?

    My Ruger .44 longbarrel is my home security system.  Looking down that 11" barrel, and the sound of that 60 year old hammer mechanism drawing back is far more terrifying than any shotgun pump.

    Good qualifications for hosting/internet related jobs?

    Well... it depends on what direction you want to go.  If you're wanting to grow your own company, then you would want to look into HR/PR, Management, and Accounting/Finance. If you're wanting to expand your skill set for improving hirability with other companies.. specialize.  Pick what you're...

    Good qualifications for hosting/internet related jobs?

    Have a day job, or substantial savings.  Don't expect you can fully (or even partially) support yourself in this field without SUBSTANTIAL investment and a good deal of time. Seeing way too many people thinking that "VPS Tech" or "Level 1/2 Support" is a legitimate, sustainable method of income =\

    New CC Hosts;

    It seems that us and ServerMania were the only two affected (that we know about so far).

    They need a lot of work on their honesty and customer relations. Had an outage in Buffalo last week (after receiving a maintenance notification barely 16 hours prior to the maintenance.. said notification guaranteed there would be no downtime).. when requesting an RFO, we were blamed for being...

    Because starting drama is irrelevant?  Look at this like a couple of guys standing around the water cooler, trading info.  Not every post about them has to be a flagburner.

    Oh?  I figured these got absorbed into CVPS, hence his recent fire sale to try and fill them up and cut their losses.

    Since when is ColoCrossing a datacenter? They rent and resell (cage|rack)space, nothing more.

    How do you type?

    (Part of me wants to say "Remember SolusVM?" >_>)

    How do you type?

    It's also worth noting that I was a pianist for years before even knowing what a computer/typewriter was.. I suppose that made the notion of "specific keys per fingers" a lot easier to grasp. Conversely, I would be very curious to see how fast 'proper' vs 'improper' typists could pick up simple...

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    Aah, aye, different situation entirely from what I was envisioning.  'pologies for that. This scenario is pretty much exactly why we don't do discounts, coupons, etc >_>

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    So... if you buy a 700$ Television, and a few months after they reduce the price to 600$.. do you go to the store and demand the difference?

    Nobody else's actions will ever absolve you of taking responsibility for your own.  Yes, I fully agree that the kid has a good deal of maturing to do;  and don't get me wrong, I wasn't defending him.  I was defending the community, which I greatly enjoy taking part in, and really don't want to...

    How do you type?

    I suppose you could say I type 'homerow'... don't use qwerty though, never made any sense to me.  Dvorak increased my english typing speed significantly (layout worked better for me I guess).  Also picked up a Das Keyboard Ultimate recently... between that and the key layout, I don't have to...

    True.  And while I don't see any major issues with poking a little fun at a member of the community when they embarrass themselves (what group of friends won't do this?) - trying to troll the kid just to specifically attack his company is one hell of a dick move. Besides, who wants this place...

    Take that childish shit back to LET.  Your title says 'Provider'.. perhaps try acting like it instead of trying to take cheap shots at your competition.
