So far it's been rocky with me. I had a VM that I used with what I think is called GandiFlex (I set it to lower the memory during the night and increase during the day) and apparently when my VM tried to scale up the hypervisor didn&#x

1&1 and gandi both offer automatic renewal. In fact I don't think I would use a registrar that didn't offer that. More likely what happened was that the guy who was incharge disappeared and/or his credit card number chang

Sandvine anyone? When they said they weren't using it. Then we proved they were and still denied it. Then I believe they were fined by the FCC and I think to this day they still deny using it...

It's not really so strange. A common theme I've seen on kickstarter projects is that they come up with product Z. They find a supplier in China who gives them quote X. But they will also need some money for themselves (not being g

To me this seems like the realization that they completely underfunded the project - not that DRM is a road block. If I was in their position I would consider releasing without DRM. Then after it ships and assuming people like it - if they

I wish it was that easy for me. I've been trying to get people at my job to use or at least try PHPStorm (also made by Jetbrains) - but they seem to think that vi is much better (even though PHPStorm has a vi plugin). I was also skepti

I would argue no - what would be the difference between him spinning up VMs and handing off the credentials and hosting a public web service on it? The VMs are still his responsibility - he is just allowing other people to use them.

IANAL but I don't see that a violation. As long as he isn't selling or renting it out for a price then he is fine. I have a feeling that provision is there to make sure people don't try to sell credits, screw over the buyer,

That seems rather surprising they would drop you after one accident. I mean - if they were mad that you lied where you drove - how did they know that it wasn't a one time thing like visiting a friend? I would find it rather silly if yo

After watching this video [1] my hatred of GPL is at a whole new level. However, couldn't a company skate around the requirement by simply not providing any way to update the system? Or more likely a vendor could provide a way to uploa

I always thought you could statically link glibc - but your executable will be huge as it needs to pull in the entire plus extras. Regardless - I'm glad I'm not the only one who is concerned about binary sizes.
