    Installing, configuring & deploying KVM VPS on your dedicated server manually through command line

    Why did you include a br0:1 alias?  I don't see that serving a purpose in this install. To make the networking more simple, you could just do this, as recommended on the CentOS Howto: cp -p /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-{eth0,br0} sed -i -e'/HWADDR/d' -e'/UUID/d' -e's/eth0/br0/'...

    TV that supports 2560x1440?

    Mostly because they can.  Lol.  You won't be hearing anything from a VGA/DVI port.   Monitors are great and all, but like I said, a TV is going to be the way to go for what I need it for. I guess I should clear up, I already have monitors.  I don't need anything special when it comes to PC, I...

    TV that supports 2560x1440?

    Multiple HDMI inputs?  I've only seen a few online but it is only about 1% of them and they only have 2, not 3-4 like a TV.

    TV that supports 2560x1440?

    Thanks, that appears to be the case.  I have found a couple cheap 4k under 40 inches online but not in the stores near me.  I don't usually buy TVs/monitors online but we'll see. Well, monitors usually don't have speakers, multiple HDMI inputs, or a remote control.  They are designed for one...

    TV that supports 2560x1440?

    P.S.  I know about the Ultra HD which support 2160p, but that seems excessive.  I was looking to buy one from Best Buy but the smallest one they had was 40" which would be a bit big for my purpose.  I can only hope there is something in between that supports 1440p.

    TV that supports 2560x1440?

    As the topic suggests.  I'm in the market for a new LED TV for my home office that could double as a monitor. I was thinking 2560x1440 with a 37" TV.  Does anyone know if there are any TVs out there that would support 1440 from the PC over HDMI? I know there are large monitors like this but I...

    How much bandwidth do you use per day?

    Just stay away from AT&T residential.  Three years ago when I used them, I got a deal for $30/month, then 12 months after I signed up it went up to $55/month with a 150GB cap and $10 for every 50GB extra.  Needless to say, just me and my girlfriend watching netflix cost me about $85 in one month...

    Windows 9?

    Yes I know, I said in an earlier post that it was available previously but it is just improved. I actually thought it was noticeably faster in Windows 8, usually it is so fast that I don't even see the start screen show up, the app just loads.  It also does a better job of picking  your most...

    Windows 9?

    I don't use Metro at all.  (The one screen item you are talking about).  You can set Windows 8 to boot right to the desktop and using shortcuts you can pretty much avoid Metro all together but I'm sure it does make it easier for people who want to sync apps between tablets and phones. The...

    Windows 9?

    You left out the best Windows platform: 2K which was actually what was released after ME.  Windows 2000 was the platform for XP too, XP just updated some things and added themes.  ME was a quick release for people worried about Y2K from what I remember (lol). Honestly, I feel the same about...

    Windows 9?

    I think the outcry over Win 8 is by people who never really gave it a chance or didn't go on to learn how to use the benefits.  I wouldn't go back to Win 7 now.  Win 8 has a better task manager, a quicker search engine, and a variety of other improvements.  While it did have some major changes...

    What Credit Card do you have?

    Oh, and to answer the question.  I have three credit cards, two mastercards and one amex through various banks.  Got my first two at 18 and had a 700+ credit score by 21.  Didn't have to have any co-signers or secured credit.  Just started small, paid on time, and requested credit increases...

    What Credit Card do you have?

    It's almost a requirement to have credit in the US these days.  Nearly all internet providers, wireless providers, cable providers run a credit check if they require a contract.  Of course you could use prepaid service but that really limits your options.  Renting an apartment, getting a...

    Alcohol of Choice

    Yeah, I guess it is hard to keep track of them all at times.  We have about 30 breweries just in Grand Rapids here and then about 20 more in West Michigan alone. New Belgium is good though, I guess that would explain why I never had it up until ~2 years ago as they are based in Colorado. ...

    Alcohol of Choice

    Whoops.  You actually just cleared that up for me.  I'm from Michigan and had thought that New Belgium brewed near me but apparently it is just a distribution center in West Michigan.  Colorado and Michigan both have a lot of brews :).

    Alcohol of Choice

    You're not too far from me in Grand Rapids then.  I prefer stouts and dark lagers.  I enjoyed Founders Oatmeal Stout and of course KBS which is pretty hard to get a hold of considering they charge $20/4-pack and they sell out the same day they release it.  If you don't know about KBS then I...

    WHMCS - Custom 'fraud' blocks module

    Nothing like that specifically, but we use MaxMind and Fraudrecord and it works pretty well for weeding out most illegitimate signups.  Along with that we have our own script for proxy detection and manually review each new customer's information to look for specific items that correlate with...

    Well this looks legit

    Even though Global Crossing was bought by Level 3, they have maintained separate networks up until now.  I think just recently they have been starting to bring them together and I don't think it is completed yet.

    Reporting stolen Paypal accounts

    One thing you could do is participate in the  fraudrecord community and report the fraud to maxmind so other hosts know not to accept payment from them.  Other than that it doesn't seem like PayPal provides you many avenues.  You could email the account on the PayPal account, it may still belong...

    CentOS 7

    Let's see.  So far I've found the major changes to be: 1.  systemd instead of service 2.  firewalld instead of iptables 3.  ethX naming convention is gone 4.  ifconfig is not installed by default (trying to force you to use ip).  Not a huge deal but can be a little bit of hassle if you're...
