Looks great! I've been managing my own remote VMs for secure development environments for freelance coders. It would be nice to lower the time I spend on administration. Having access to a GPU is a great bonus too. Some of the coding w

It's interesting that they keep the original image upload, but toss out the generated variants (resized or optimized versions) after 20 days. When those objects are requested again, they perform those optimizations on demand. Seems lik

I've seen several "new TLD's" do this pricing scheme. Typically they come up with some kind of pricing algorithm for "premium" domains by seeing if the word is in the dictionary and how often it's used in

Wow, pretty expensive for something you can do with VoIP.ms for much cheaper. Their toll free numbers are $1 a month, and 1.9c per minute incoming. The outgoing rate to the number that answers would be 1c a minute in the US. So, for the Rou

Do you mean a dash indicator light or the ambient lighting itself? Personally, I think that a cockpit with ambient lighting that adjusts based on autopilot status would be a much better indicator. When the autopilot is engaged and everythin

It's a good start, but you need to put up some information pages like a list of boards it scrapes and the last time it was scraped. It would also be good to have the ability for users to submit other suggested sources of data (like Ang
