Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu laptop, iPad, 95.5% of our servers are Linux or BSD. In our office, we have one old windows xp box on P4 hardware to remote desktop into for various stuff that cant be done on Linux or is significant easier on WinXP..

Oh boy do I want to, but I need to figure out where to move them to! GoDaddy's support is in Arizona, clear, well trained, and answer the phone quickly, 24x7. Admittedly, I don't reedit often, but good/fast/easy support is important, and ca

Think this is the very first thing anyone does when handed two pieces of neodymium. I know that I did this within a minute of my first experience with two free and loose neodymium magnets. I watched many others do it too. The look on one's

If you solve a a real problem in a new way, you should be here... Best of luck to you. The Healthcare Industry can use disruption, new ideas, and optimization. I wish I could help in some way, but I can't. Cheers!

I am just curious, but would a FOI request work for a current/open/active investigation? Seems like that would be a very exploitable process (by the "bad guys") if it would.

M5 Hosting does offer Scientific Linux for dedicated servers: http://www.m5hosting.com/scientific-linux-dedicated-server.p... But you are correct, it is hard to find. Some dedicated server hosts will install it if you ask, but larger hos

I love this kind of thing... It started at almost kind of sort of science, the it wasn't, then it was, it became legend, then people research it to see just where it came from.... And no one really knows. I love this cultural-socio-anthropo

Retailers, on-line or otherwise, have to pay sales tax on sales within a state where they have a physical presence. That's the way it is. The problem in this case is that CT wants sales tax on a sale that was referred by an affiliate... Eve

Oh, there must be something else wrong... It cant be only the load. I mean, they can just spin up more EC2 instances right? Isn't every application infinitely scaleable in "the cloud"? (tongue in cheek)

Holy smokes... Way too expensive! If you are gonna go on the "we aren't PayPal" then maybe you can get away with it, but really, wow! I have to go see if you are double or triple what we pay PayPal. Either way; bad. PayPal fucks up and canc

Because cloud computing is a more complicated way of delivering CPU, memory, disk (space and performance) and network. Complicated always has a much lower likelihood of being better, more durable, cheaper or more reliable.

The whole thing is just too complicated to be highly-available. There will be more problems, but I wish them luck.

At M5hosting.com we use Ubersmith. Its designed for hosting and it supports everything on your list. We are very happy with it, and the company is very responsive to support and to feature requests etc. I have never been entirely happy with

"The Human Cloud"? Wow... This cloud buzzword is really out of control now. As far as I can tell the startup cloud is a bundle of stuff... Not a cloud. What am I missing?
