    OpticServers LTD goes live with owned Datacenter! Uk Based

    See, I genuinely don't think you do. Looking at the kit you have already in your single rack, none of that constitutes anything near being worthy of 'DC' status or even capable. If you're saying it works out better for you in terms of price then I can't see how you hope to expand to any degree...

    What browser are you using?

    I mainly use FireFox on my machines (desktop and laptop) as it's what I'm used to and just works. I use a lot of addons and extensions with it so moving would be a PITA. I do have Chrome installed and sometimes I have to use it. There are *still* some websites that I use occasionally that don't...

    How much power...

    I presume you're talking 120v here? I use quite a few procurves here and they use nowhere NEAR that amount of juice.

    Should hosts provide a backup service?

    This. That's exactly what we do - there is then no excuse for customers not to be taking backups.

    I'd change that switch before you start piling on the clients - as others have said, you don't want a full on network outage (100%) later on when you've grown too big for it just because you have to replace the core switch. I know you've said that it's fine for now, but when "for now" runs out...

    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    A lot of our 'knowledge' has come from technology and computers helping us. You see it every day - the weather forecasts are done by computers (massive computational clusters). These calculations could never be done by us mere mortals. Give it to a computer.. well, it's a piece of cake. They...

    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    From the BBC Technology section: "Prof Stephen Hawking, one of Britain's pre-eminent scientists, has said that efforts to create thinking machines pose a threat to our very existence." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30290540 Not sure what I think about it all but it would be a real...

    Who knows with the Chinese. They may have found a few targets that responded on those ports for a certain service so now they're scanning everything/anything to try and get a hit. I stopped trying to figure out "Why" when it comes to the Chinese and I now settle on "because China".

    Has anyone heard of RackMine?

    Going by the recent sign up and the spam posted henceforth, I'm locking this as it's clearly just a shill-type post. Feel free to get in touch if you feel this is an error.
