    The GNOME foundation has run out of money

    I'm sorry, I don't understand the full details behind this and how GNOME is run regarding funding allocation and so forth, but I do disagree with you on a couple of points: Feminists can and do marry guys. There is nothing that says being a feminist means you must be a man-hating, woman-loving...

    How you handle DDOS Customer

    Somewhat off-topic, but how strongly would you guys recommend DDoS protection for non-businesses? Particularly for hobbyists who are running personal websites like blogs and fan communities. Are there instances where you feel DDoS protection would be overkill because the likelihood of it...

    What do you use your servers for?

    Personal websites, file repository/backup, and I have one more new-ish one that I'm planning to use as a VPN so I can finally stream me some US Netflix.

    TV series recommendations?

    Personally I've been enjoying Suits and Hannibal as of late.

    How would you organize dozens/hundreds of vids on a page?

    Do you absolutely have to put them all on one page rather than divide up the sections with each one getting its own respective page? If you do, personally speaking I would probably prefer the small video icons and/or title links that open up in lightbox or accordion. I always like to skim...

    BuyVM.NET / BuyShared.NET - Shared - $5/year | Resellers - $2.00/month! Dedicated IPv4! SSD RAID!

    So horribly tempted to give one of these plans a try even though I have absolutely no use for it, just because I've heard so many good things about BuyVM!  Just wondering, does your AUP apply to shared/reseller hosting as well, especially when it comes to resource usage? I know that most places...

    BurstNet acquired by DigiPlus

    Oh, I know-- that was actually meant to be a compliment ;) I'm always in awe of his sleuthing skills and the dirt he manages to dig up on different people. But after seeing what Burst's rep in the WHT thread was saying as an explanation of sorts I can't help but wonder how they would spin these...

    BurstNet acquired by DigiPlus

    With the amount of information that @drmike keeps digging up I'd be more surprised if they don't keep an eye on this forum. What I'm curious about is at what point will they feel the need to step in and announce their presence, and what will they say then?

    Converting entire directory of JPG files to progressive JPGs and reduce quality/size?

    I use FastStone Photo Resizer as well, it's freeware and it also allows you to retain the same filenames.

    Tips for an Upcoming Provider

    Hi! I'm not knowledgeable about VPS hosting by a long stretch, but I figured perhaps a different perspective would be of some help to you. I have a couple of plans with different providers strictly as an end user who uses them for personal websites and as a file repository/back up.    1. Is...

    ColoCrossing, Quick to Get Large IP Blocks Issued and Faster to Soil Them

    It was explained to you many times by other people and you're the one who's still failing to grasp it. However, just because you either do not agree with their views or do not understand what they're saying does not mean anyone is a retard, yourself included.  All I'm saying is there are better...

    Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

    Thank you! I'm not familiar with aviation technology so that was very informative. :) There are so many rumours and theories abound that it's very hard to tell what is real or fake, let alone the finer details of whys and hows. Doesn't help that the governments keep refuting each other's...

    Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

    It didn't just disappear, though the general public was led to believe that at first: Civilian and military leaders on Wednesday revealed that they had known for the past four days, but did not publicly disclose, that military radar had picked up signals of what may have been the missing...

    "Free" (or very cheap) VPS.

    Looks like he's been using that same excuse since 2010: Name: luis acevedi Reason: I want to start a hosting company, and use Kloxo as control panel. I allso want to develop and run my own software, so for that I need shell access. Also, I need a home testing environment. With the recent...

    AzzaVPS sold for not quite the price of a dedicated server - ChicagoVPS dumps deal

    If Aaron (and I truly do believe his name is Aaron Martin, he also had a bunch of other short-lived ventures and lied about them until someone did some digging as seen here and here) is telling the truth about selling AzzaVPS in August of last year, which I'm inclined to think so because the...

    AzzaVPS sold for not quite the price of a dedicated server - ChicagoVPS dumps deal

    I think the deal fell through because he sent unsolicited spam mail to former clients under uplinkVPS's name? UplinkVPS  Hello Everyone, Let me start by saying that I’m terribly sorry for not responding in a timely manner to the comments above. I would also like to sincerely apologize to...

    Fitbit Recalls Force Wristband Due to Risk of Skin Irritation

    My friend is trying to lose weight and bought the Flex wristband to use in conjunction with the My Fitness Pal app. It's for lifestyle/health purposes and not to track what you're doing/where you're going a la NSA.

    ColoCrossing, Quick to Get Large IP Blocks Issued and Faster to Soil Them

    Getting blacklisted for spam has nothing to do with DMCA notices though, or am I missing something here? (I also did a quick Google search on JDR Hosting and I really wouldn't call them honest if they're so active in blackhat forums/groups with many complaints to their name.)

    GreenValueHost review

    Not a problem! I don't really know if there's a way to export the stats neatly so I hope you don't mind screencaps. I also wanted to add that speed/uptime issues aside, it was not an awful experience by any means and if I didn't already have another two servers with other providers I...
