You have no idea what you are talking about. I live in a developing country (bangladesh) which is mostly poor. About 80-90% of internet users are wireless internet users, and every year its getting more dominating. Wired connection is extre

I don't think "overselling" is the right word in this, it implies degradation of performance because of too many VMs. My understanding, is that all VMs allow sharing resources, even KVM. But to my understanding, you can share

I think the trick is (as it is with most vps providers), that most users, don't always use full memory and or full CPU usage, or even disk space. The full usage, if it ever happens usually happens in small bursts. Most vps providers ha

Happy Do customer, really nothing bad to say about them (yet). Been with them for couple of months now. Reminds me of slicehost, but with much much better price.

So I checked out some of the user profile of people who are flat out proposing that google is colluding with the government and is lying right now to the users and they don't believe any official word coming out from google. Not only a

I don't know how. But one way I can think of is to not make any long-term plans. All your plans and goals can be achieved in one day. You finish the day reaching your goals. You wake up next day, find yourself alive, you make new goals for

Not to sound mean (and people usually say that when they know that they could come out as mean), but for some reason that reminded me of people who walks around with bluetooth headset and talking to themselves, surrounded by a lot of people

Oh I have seen builtwithbootstrap before and its a wonderful gallery and example of what you can do with bootstrap, but I was mainly talking about the lazy one who just stick with the default designs and I seem to be seeing them more lately

One side effect of Bootstrap (from having some experience with it) is that I can almost instantly tell which site is using bootstrap. I am not sure if its a good thing if more sites starts to look very similar or have similar design element

I want to know what kind of thought process goes on company/individual's mind when they decide to do an acquisition like this, for $200M, which doesn't make enough money to justify it. You would think when you are throwing around that kind

Its called respecting local sentiment. Its not so much that I agree with they ask me to do, but I chose to let them be at the expense of a little inconvenience to myself. Its not like they are killing me. I do have a boundary and let them

Mostly mum, I am really grown up. But people here lives with their parents, until they are married (even when they are married). Nothing wrong that AFAI am concerned. But most people from western culture won't probably get it.

Seriously, when I first moved here it bothered me a lot. I am used to cooking for myself and wouldn't mind learning how to drive. But I was absolutely prohibited from going to the kitchen even by accident and not go anywhere without having
