    How to stop webhost frome entering vps without permission?

    This above all else. If you flip the coin and look at it from the providers point of view; what are you doing on/with your VM that makes you want to hide from me (the provider) so badly? Will the police be knocking on my door and at the DC's door simultaneously wanting to confiscate equipment?

    QR Codes - Using them yourself or just another dead fad?

    Well, it could be even easier if I used Chrome on my desktop as the tabs would be available immediately on my phone... but I don't :P

    QR Codes - Using them yourself or just another dead fad?

    I use them... on the PC. I have a Firefox plugin that will generate a QR code for the URL I'm viewing so if I'm reading something and need to go sit on the pan, a quick QR brings it up for me and away I go!

    That's a good thing - at least until they work out what's wrong and an appropriate, official fix.
