That's kind of hilarious. So not an IP block, but a technocratic half-measure with no real effect beyond discriminating against particular software configurations? Not even an autocratic whuffie-style blacklist???

I guess Trump didn't disavow hard enough last week, which begs the question, who will pay for Staminus' sins if they don't?

First they came for the Proxies, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Proxy Liker. Then they came for the VPN Providers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a VPN Haver. Then they came for the Whuffies...

Uhh, but they bought the American IP because Netflix had shitty content to begin with... if Netflix blocks them, it's not like they're going to retain a subscription in their own region. So in short Netflix loses a shit load of subscribers who won't return in any other context due to the...

Same. It was bizarre when they claimed I could use a VPN as long as it was an extension of my office connection, yet when I told them it was, they still denied the order. In theory they would have no way of knowing whether a VPN is part of an 'office connection' or not, which suggests certain...

Ha!

Y'all won Vietnam too! (cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esXFNTlLxUA)   Yes, a morphemic-syllabic critique at best. Not quite onomatopoeia.

I have a Netflix subscription but never use it, so didn't notice. Agree re: 'Bad move' though. Those who connect to Netflix via proxy or VPN are more than likely paying an American web host for the IP. If Netflix starts mass blocking certain American IP ranges, doesn't that mean a lot of lost...

Maybe they're all just accidental Artaudians at heart, unconsciously paying homage to his Theatre of Cruelty.   Really? I heard it was 105-186.283.

Right, and this logic can be extrapolated to hourly billing. Implementation challenges aside, if one is stuck in a Universe determined by Commodified Time and has been reduced to the VPS world,

seems Incredibly Rude

proxy War sO0o0o funny! #DontDestabilizeMyNetlixViewingHabits

I think it's because American Exceptionalism likes to endlessly claim Moral Authority for winning WW2. They didn't fight a war of similar magnitude against Maoism so the 21st C talking heads have no motivation to create similar incoherent political analogies re: Mao. It may also be because WW2...

I would say it may act as insurance against would-be fly-by-night hosts to that extent. Can't so easily take the money and run if they don't have it all in advance!

Kudos to them for making it open source. Great movie too. :) I think at worst hourly billing is a convenience for potential clients who want to try before they buy. Make a VM, try it out for a day or two, don't like the service, quit and never look back. Pre-emptively bypasses the hassle of a...

good post, is an offer and fits criteria, 500th repetition of well known brands I had never heard of, thank

I'm too generally apolitical and not immersed enough in American politics to offer any serious opinions, but on the other hand I was somehow transfixed watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtMeOqXPDH4

Yeah, I saw your 'on demand VPSs' thread, don't really care about established hosts who are too big to reply here. Maybe this thread will encourage more smaller hosts to consider hourly billing? It can't really be conceived as innovative, so isn't the question why more hosts don't offer it? I...

re: the recent phenomena where the media was comparing Trump to Hitler in direct proportion to rising levels of panic concerning his ongoing lead in the polls, it made me wonder, has Big Data gotten around to making a database of every single invocation of Godwin's Law in known history yet...
