The US doesn't need to export as much as it actually consumes unlike the Chinese.

Manufacturing is coming back in the form of new jobs. The jobs that the Chinese are having are becoming extinct. Product labels use to be stuck by hand in China even in mass production. Long gone are those days!

It's like this in China also plus alipay holds the money in escrow.

OVH have a data centre in Canada now. You can email them to get the i3 Kimsufi server there.

by shimon_e 14y ago
The main reason I'm not so concerned is if they have physical access to the server they have root access anyway. At least this way I can see them logging in.

If I'm going to considerably pay more, I am still better paying OVH more. I'm thinking of getting this bad boy: http://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/eg_64g_ssd.xml

Unlike OVH, server4you use nasty 5400rpm hard drives on their low end. I actually am waiting for someone to come out with a low end server with a small SSD drive. I need performance not storage.

I am interesting in 1) a provider with comparable features in Asia and 2) another with comparable price on the west coast of the United States. That is until OVH roll out their west coast data centre in the coming years. BTW, I'm thinking o

Proud OVH customer both in Europe and Canada. Very happy with their hard service and amazed with their tools. With their control panel you can deploy a new dedicate server in under an hour with a custom setup preloaded with your SSH keys. P

Dear CloudFlare, As I assume you read all comments here. Heads up hosting your images on posterous means they are blocked in China. Maybe you want to add some China GFW speed up features. You know, proxy images from blocked sites, remove fa

Jews have codified three meals a day as part of the celebration of religious days (e.g. the sabbath) since the beginning of their religion. Going to the extreme of staying someone who does not prepare for three meals has no portion in the a

It would be in manufacturers interest to sponsor CM. It may even work out cheaper that maintaining their possibly less-competent/more-expensive in house teams.

It is already illegal on paper to smoke in many areas. Just like it is illegal to sell iPhone clones. Basically when the police are passing you, you stop smoking/selling fake iPhones...

“Do you know that Jews are not accepted to Moscow University?” “What do you mean?” “What I mean is that you shouldn’t even bother to apply. Don’t waste your time. They won’t let you in.” How awful.

Yes because it really costs $600 per phone to make a quality one.... so 600 billion would be the cost for 1 billion people to have quality phones. These phones should be dropping to $150 already... but there isn't enough competition for tha

Never stop for anyone approaching you on the street in China. Even if it seems legit they are probably attempting to scam you.

FYI, the Nexus 4 is quad core. However, the Nexus 10 is only dual! I've tried switching to a tablet at the beginning of the year but web browsing performance wasn't good enough for me. Hope the dual core downgrade won't make that much of a

Terrible for China till a certain price point then the trend returns back into China's favour.

Surprised he didn't pick Europe. China is also rolling out a NBN (to be completed by 2016!). At least he didn't try to become Chinese. :P

That makes sense. The idea over here is to make consumer goods while manufacturing equipment is sailing the seven seas. Economically stupid. Maybe they could be successful targeting the luxury market or abusing the tax system. I wouldn't be

I work in manufacturing (actually a lot of the products I work with are bespoke). They are going to have to complete on price and with their method of operations they aren't going to win that battle. There is a reason why automated tube soc
