    Budget Phone Service

    I have been following these guys for a while now, but haven't used them. Another alternative with more phones is http://ting.com. They have a little bit more flexible plans, but still use Sprint.

    What was your first computer?

    I'm younger, and my parents were never all that tech savvy, so my first home computer was an old Dell Dimensions system with a Pentium III processor clocked at around 800MHz, 256MB of RAM, and a 20GB hard drive. I still have all of the parts other than the case. Last time I checked the system...

    NSA project, "X-Keyscore" collects nearly everything you do on the internet.

    I kind of hope somebody "accidentally" cuts off the water supply for the datacenter's cooling so that all of the data is destroyed.  I expected the monitoring to be like this when I first heard about the NSA's monitoring, but I really hoped it wasn't really like this.

    Is IPMI important for a Dedi?

    I'd still prefer IPMI, but being able to reinstall the operating system, and reboot without a ticket would be good enough for most things.  Would the remote KVM be available for let's say something like an hour for a small fee instead of the lease? I think that would be useful just in case the...

    NSA can decrypt VPNs?

    I wonder if they have a supercomputer hidden in here, behind all of the hard drives, to decrypt encrypted traffic.

    Meet Don, a Half Eaten Pie and a vpsBoard moderator. Ask him stuff.

    How did you get started working for Catalyst Host? Do you have more family in the United States or in Korea? If you have a lot of family in Korea how often do you visit them?

    When I first read the email I remembered seeing some threads where you were looking for a VPS in this datacenter.

    Good ol' debate OpenVZ vs KVM - Why yes, why not?

    The majority of providers don't offer pre built KVM templates like that. RamNode is one of the few exceptions.

    Good ol' debate OpenVZ vs KVM - Why yes, why not?

    If I can trust that the provider isn't overselling their resources too much I almost always prefer OpenVZ. It's much easier to install/reinstall operating systems, and it typically just plain works.  The only time I use KVM is when I need to change something to do with the kernel, like when...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

      I get that message as well. Not very often though. Maybe once every few months or so.

    Help me decide, I'm torn between 2 servers.

    You might be able to find a server with similar specs to that 2xL5420's (but with IPMI) for a very similar price. If you can't you may be able to buy a used server and then colocate it for a really great deal if you don't mind paying a bit up front.

    How do you type?

    When I first started typing I had no idea what I was doing. I had to look down and find each and every key, and honestly I ended up getting pretty darn good at that. I was able to remove the hunting all together, I was able to just peck away. I was able to type "fast enough" that way, but I...

    Oh, I remember hearing about those. Maybe at one point they'll bring them back.

    Dedicated server for 3 €

      From what I have seen only their more expensive dedicated servers are available there.

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    I kind of wish they had Kimsufi's in their North American datacenter. I'd jump on this deal if they did.

    [TX]Catalyst Host: $30/Year 256MB(KVM) and $7 2GB(openVZ) Limited Stock

    Wow. I'm going to have a hard time resisting that $30/year KVM deal.  On a side note I found an error in the post. You say the $30/year KVM is $17 semi annually in the beginning, and then $15 at the bottom of the post.
