Common sense tends to prevail. Are you hosting a personal file server that shifts ~20GB/month with the odd FTP connection, or a major website shifting 1TB/month with thousands of concurrent HTTP connections?

Let's ban Google from advertising a "search" product while we're at it, as the product they actually provide is much more complex than the term does justice. Let's also ban them from advertising a "mail" s

As a graduate, you can live in central London pretty comfortably on rent of about £8k/year. £35k is about £25k after tax, so you'd be spending about a third of your post-tax income on accommodation. Completely reasonable.

Precisely. There's something particularly grating about the self-righteous attitude of this author. He may not care for such a call, but if there is an actual vacancy involved, there are millions of unemployed/underemployed people

Yes, the recruitment industry sucks. The author of this article works in the recruitment industry — which company, I do not know, but by association to the industry, the author also sucks. Let's face the facts. Huge sections of the wor

Just saying putting an IP address in some code doesn't mean the owner of that IP address is responsible for writing the code.

There are so many things that could go wrong with a scheme like this, the mind boggles.

Possible alternative is that a third party wrote the malware and decided to put an NSA/SAIC IP address in the code to scare people

I'd imagine not being able to tell prospective employers about any of the experience you gained or achievements you made in the course of your employment there would also be an issue?

Indeed. I ordered a Kimsufi server five days ago with a guideline setup time of 24 hours. Placed the order, made payment, no doubt I'm already paying for the service, but five days later, I'm still awaiting setup. Their ordering p

Sad though it may be, it's near enough unskilled labor, with easily measurable performance indicators.

Indeed. For the uninitiated, I would venture to guess a majority of OVH network traffic is BitTorrent.

Where do you get two coffees for less than €2.99?!

I had a look at JottaCloud, but was put off by a few things: 1) The location of their servers in Norway; I'm based within the EU, but quite far from Norway, and Norway doesn't scream great connectivity to me in the same way Britai

I want to like SpiderOak, but transfers are painfully slow, and their OS X interface is horrible.

Until iCloud/iMessage, all the actual information was transmitted through third party services (i.e. network providers, email services, etc.) Why go after the myriad of handset manufacturers when you could just get the network provider

I wouldn't consider this particular instance malicious; it's just lazy journalism. Journalist under pressure to churn out a quick, sanitized, topical piece meets pro-active CEO of a hosting company with a knack for PR and a pre-pa

I'm glad to see this happening. The programmes are unquestionably a breach of the ECHR; human rights violations on an unprecedented scale. Alas, if the PRISM/Tempora/etc. scandal has taught us one thing, it's that govern

It's difficult to make a convincing fake ID, but trivial to make a fake "photocopy" of an ID. Photocopies are low quality, often black and white. They bypass most, if not all, security features on physical ID documents, can

I have 120Mbps down (Virgin Media, also in the UK), and even with that bandwidth I have the same problem. There aren't many online services that can chuck >100Mbps at a single user.
