    Fixed: Some users couldn't post this morning

    Freaking time paradoxes. I hate it when those happen.

    Red Hat, Inc Aquires CentOS

    RHEL and CentOS are the same (effectively) though. All RHEL has is the support. What gain would RedHat get for making CentOS non-free?

    My Google Glass edition has arrived! (Pictures)

    I don't care if it would make me look funny, it's freaking GOOGLE GLASS! I could like... do stuff with it!

    Red Hat, Inc Aquires CentOS

    One thing that might come from this is that it becomes even easier to switch your CentOS install to a RHEL install if you decide you want the support. Right now, if you purchase a RHEL subscription it's very easy to make your CentOS install a RHEL Install (just install a package from RHEL)...

    Swapping screen in a laptop

    You'd need to install an identical machine. Dell does the same thing with a lot of their laptops (Latitude ones esp.) with a BIOS/Hardware resolution lock.

    Deep freeze

    Me too. On a related note, DeepFreeze is a lifesaver at schools. Students can TRY to fuck up computers all they'd like, but their changes are lost every time the computer reboots. Screw you viruses!

    Dealing with eChecks through PayPal

    I've had what happened to AuroraZero happen to me before in the past as well. I don't feel like giving PayPal my SSN and stuff yet (they haven't REQUIRED me to yet) so I can't add money to my balance, so it pulls from my bank account if the balance gets low. IIRC it was on an invoice for Ramnode...

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    If you try to connect to localhost.re it gives you a Cloudflare error like that.

    Big RAM VPS - who actually uses them and for what?

    Some clients use their Blue4 plans for MySQL stuff. Load up the DB in RAM instead of thrashing disk and it works MUCH faster. Some other people use them for VNC. With 2GB RAM (and 2GB vSwap) you can load up a GUI and a browser like Firefox, but that sometimes pushes the CPU boundary a bit.

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    On a somewhat related note, there needs to be a sarcasm button on the editor toolbar that automatically applies the purple color for sarcasm.

    The truth about Mao and BuyVM

    So Mao, OTHER than the following items, what do you have against BuyVM? Banning of Tor (which BuyVM can do if they so choose, THEY'RE the ones providing services) Aldryic  Francisco Anything having to do with Network (which has been fixed for a LONG TIME) That's all I've been able to dig out...

    In case you're wondering where your avatar went...

    Ugh. My Gravatar doesn't fit in the 50KB size limit unless I run it through like... 30 layers of JPEG. DOWN WITH PRIVACY! EMBRACE THE NSA! SHARE ALL THE INFORMATION! On an unrelated note, what was the agreed upon color for sarcasm?

    radio sensory beta.

    SrsX, there's plenty of Bandwidth out there. It's not going to waste any. How about you go and rethink your attitude?

    BlueVM - S1-NY Disk Failure

    We're working on keeping them low. Our AVERAGE (over this 3 month period) is about 2-4 hours (depending on priority, and support status. LImited Support Products get a lower priority). We're under a heavy load right now due to the disk failure (people want credit and want to complain), and I...

    BlueVM - S1-NY Disk Failure

    I've been on vacation for a few days, and will be back at tickets tomorrow. Holiday seasons are always busy, because us staff want to spend time with family and friends.

    BlueVM Leaving Kansas City

    Working on it now. Feathur isn't on the node which had drives fail, but it's 522ing right now. I'm looking into it now and hopefully Feathur will be online again shortly.

    All threads ever set to sunk on LowEndTalk.com

    He did mention that closed threads also sink (probably set by Vanilla so that they don't somehow pop up, given they're not supposed to have any new replies being posted). The scraper code could probably be updated to scrape threads set to sink, then closed threads and remove the ones which were...

    BlueVM Leaving Kansas City

    Good question, thekreek. I checked, and unless WSI decides to be generous and continue the licenses for us (doubtful) you'll need to purchase a new one. We can offer them for $5 in Dallas CORRECTION: If you have a license NOW, we will be subsidizing the license for you after the move. You'll get...
