    Seagate introduces radical new product, sounds delicious

    I have switched back and forth over the years, I used to swear by seagate, then I had a couple drives that sounded like a drawer full of marbles, they ran fine, just noisy which annoyed the hell out of me using them in my pc. So I switched to WD and used those for a few years, then had a couple...

    Need an OS recommendation for children.

    Crazy - I just had my 5 year old daughter do the same exact thing on prime about 3 weeks ago, I never even noticed it at first because I use an old email address for Amazon and I hardly ever check it, it wasn't until I checked my bank account that I noticed I had over 5 overdrafts and a very...

    Mt.Gox shuts down, is insolvent

    Yeah, this is going the way of e-gold, e-bullion and Liberty Reserve, all digital currencies that came and went. Amidst being buried a million times on reddit when contrary to popular opinion I stated bitcoin is nothing new, never has been other than the mining and decentralized system. Its...

    Where do you buy your hardware from?

    Amazon or NewEgg. Amazon mainly because of free shipping with prime. I did have a return on a power tool once and they sent a replacement overnight so I had it the next morning. On that I was pretty much sold after having to do DOA's elsewhere in the past and having to wait sometimes weeks for...

    Where are you from?

    Fargo... my business is located there too. And embarrassingly enough, alot of poeple around here actually talk that way...

    Stock Market

    That's what I did for quite a few years, luckily I started buying silver at around $5 an ounce, I held a lot of it until it hit around $22 and sold pretty much everything, while a very excellent run, I kind of wish I would have hung onto some of it, I do feel we are going to see another increase...

    Who are your favorite higher-end providers?

    Linode and KnownHost were always good to me, have not used either of them in a few years though. I have also managed a few cloud servers for a few different customers at AWS and RackSpace, RackSpace has been awesome, in over 3 to 4 years I can't say I have ever needed to contact support with...

    Great cloudflare alternative from Google

     So WelltodoInformalCattle, not to pry but is your website politically motivated? I'm assuming so if they accepted you?

    Great cloudflare alternative from Google

    I noticed when someone posted it on reddit a few months ago, but I think their focus is more along the lines of protecting against censorship, helping political activists etc., probably not so much personal websites...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    Wow, I'm impressed with all the success, guess I need to reconsider.

    Zeneva - Bad experience? I want to hear about it.

    My experience is nothing like dano's but I did sign up for there $49 L5520 24gb when they were listed on LEB. His 2 to 3 business day setup turned into about a month, I asked for a refund twice, was told they don't refund once they receive payment so instead of arguing again I just waited. When...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    Your right, I remembered reading & forgot all about overstock.com...

    Do you accept Bitcoins as a payment method? Why? Why not? (Plus other questions)

    I can see why some would want to allow it, more signups etc., but yeah I agree with Aldryic and dcdan that I think the vast majority of new signups would be abusers just due to the anonymity. Its still too much of a "clandestine" currency kind of like e-gold and liberty reserve used to be. I...

    Why the hosting industry and what made you stay?

    @hellogoodbye Yeah there really is drama pretty much everywhere online. And it is kinda funny after all these years, that I do have a daughter now and I can avoid what would be a rather unpleasant a maybe a bit embarrassing conversation B)

    Why the hosting industry and what made you stay?

    I was a gamer and was always pretty interested in computers/technology, I started hosting, (well my own) around 97 or 98, it all began when I ended up looking for porn on AOL one night and found a website called The Hun's Yellow Pages which was arguably the largest adult website online at the...

    Circuit Court Of Appeals Strikes Down FCC’s Open Internet Order

    Makes sense lol... Also not sure why they are now expecting all the big dogs now to pay up in order to compensate for their shitty network. Guess this all says more about Verizon's network than anyone else.

    Circuit Court Of Appeals Strikes Down FCC’s Open Internet Order

    Sure Kevin it would make sense if they were charging their subscribers if they wanted faster internet, but they want to charge high traffic websites for their sites to be given faster service, not faster as if Verizon all of a sudden has this super fast plan they are hiding from every one, but...
