    Ubuntu Edge - Ubuntu Smartphone

    It'll be so expensive because it's unlocked and unsubsidized by the carriers. $830 isn't too bad for an unlocked phone.

    24khost hacked?

      I have no idea, from the looks of it he must be either really busy with something else, or just completely forgot about it.  You'd think that he'd already have something up there considering he is probably losing a lot of potential business by not having a website. Maybe has a day job and...

    24khost hacked?

    I used to be a 24kHost customer (I had a storage VPS). Overall things were pretty good, although I couldn't stand that control panel. It was nearly impossible to navigate, and most of it just plain didn't make sense. I guess a control panel for me is something that I don't use very often so I...

    Minstall on Wheezy

    I've done it without any problems.

    Google Glass: Is the choice clear?

    Yeah, some of the reviews I read said that Glass only gets about five or so hours on a charge which is really pretty bad.  I've also read that Google might not have prescription support in the first generation of Glass, but future generations might.

    Google Glass: Is the choice clear?

    I'd wait it as long as there is a version that works with my prescription glasses, and has all day battery life. I'd use it primarily for keeping up to date on RSS feeds, keeping an eye on email, and other small things like that. Something like a smartwatch can do all of these things, but it...

    Ubuntu Edge - Ubuntu Smartphone

    It looks pretty good, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Since this seems like more of an enthusiast device at this point and time they'd probably be better off continuing to improve support for the operating system on various different rooted Android phones.

    “What Is That Box?” — When The NSA Shows Up At Your Internet Company

    Through all of this I have been very curious about one thing. That is, how secure is this data monitoring? From my understanding the government has setup a backdoor in some of the major fiber uplinks that feeds data to a big datacenter that archives it all. What would happen if one of these so...

    New LowEndBox kickstarter project.

    I find this bit of information appealing: "the winner will be picked by you the community" Although I have to agree that if someone is looking to start a hosting company they really shouldn't need a kick start to get it going. They should have it already planned out, and they should already...

    Good podcasts?

    Some of these might not be considered podcasts, but they are certainly good sources of news, and useful information. Some of them also have video feeds, but they really aren't required if you just want to listen.  The Tek - A more in depth technology podcast which I really enjoy. The...

    Dallas VPS Providers

    +1 on CatalystHost. I'd also recommend SimpleNode.

    What version of PHP is everyone using?

    I'm currently using 5.4 which has been stable for a while now so pretty much everything including Ioncube works with it.

    VPS Sponsorship Request

    You might want to try setting up a donation system where players donate to get additional permissions. I get enough donations each month with my Minecraft server to nearly pay for my dedicated server.

    Pro-rated services

      Yeah, from a provider's point of view there is probably a greater chance of fraud, and customers that don't stay for long.

    Pro-rated services

    I also tend to prefer billing to be prorated as a client. If I want to try out a new provider I can order towards the end of the month and only have to pay for that last little bit of the month so that I can test everything out without spending a whole lot of money. I also enjoy being able to...

    Samsung Chromebook

    There is an SSH client that you can access using the Control + Alt + T keyboard shortcut, and then typing in shell (at least if the device is in developer mode).

    Blesta v3 will arrive on August 14th, $250 branded licenses

    I'm pretty sure that it's an owned unbranded license where you have to pay the annual fee for updates.

    What are you using IPv6 for?

    I've been wondering the same thing. If hosts are giving out /64's and /48's to every customer in a decade we'll run into an IPv6 shortage just like we did by giving out big blocks of IPv4 addresses to businesses in the past. I'm pretty sure something like a /128 or even a /124 would be perfectly...

    Blesta v3 will arrive on August 14th, $250 branded licenses

    Was it pretty easy to put the header and footer into the template? I haven't had any time to modify the template yet.

    Samsung Chromebook

    I have one of these. For basic usage it works great. Just be sure you know about all of the limitations. It is basically just a web browser, so for many something like a tablet would be a better option. I personally have one because it has a slightly larger screen, and an actual keyboard.
