The fulham noc is basically their offices, but for about £35 pcm....
I've never had a server stolen yet:-)
There is plently of parking usually, but it's in the back streets on a parking meter... the more expensive services are at telehouse (AFAIK) so the parking is just as bad there:-)
Seriously, though. I highly reccommend their services, totally outstanding availability, very quick.
I use mailbox for colocating my servers (just about to add another one to the rack)
Their service is top notch, no outages, outstanding bandwidth and they are also the cheapest colocator in the UK..
The best thing of course is that they are totally linux. I wouldnt want to place any of my penguins in a rack next to NT boxen for fear that they get contaminated...
god damn borg with their nanoprobes...
This is why I also wear a tinfoil hat.
My wife uses windows sometimes. I fear that she may try and kill me in my sleep.
This is why I eat three tins of penguin mints in the evenings....
Yes, we know BSD is more secure. Unfortunately it is less popular. I know this doesn't justify it being "overlooked", but it meas it will be to an extent.
It makes sense to go for linux for a couple of reasons:
Popularity==more coders have developed it. Poplularity==more people are likely to knwo how to use it.
However the most important point is that a SECURE version of linux is being created.
OK so it'll probably have more NSA backdoors in it than a M$ prosuct has bugs (and NSA backdoors), but as the GPL states:
You have to release the fucking source.
---or something..
This will only be of benefit. It can't hurt people, (except those with a chip on their shoulders)....
I know censorship is defined as being that content the *government* blocks, however has anyone noticed the potential here....
The internet is largely self regulating, however with a massive user base and off-line media/advertising feeding AOL with new subscribers this new megacorp could quite literally Control massive chunks of the net.
What would happen if AOL/Warner started blocking, say, slashdot at it's proxies....?
It would cease to exist for 6m+(?) users.
The internet gradually becomes what AOL decides it should be.
It becomes a defacto "ruler"....
Just like in python's quest for the holy grail:
"who are you anyway?"
"I am your king"
"well, I didn't vote for you"
I'm all for a geek "undernet" i.e. the rest of the internet, i.e. that which is not controlled by AOL, but historically smaller nations such as ours have always proven vulnerable to predatory nations like AOL.
I think a war council should be formed, a geek ministry of defence that should be convened to assess risk, perhaps even place spies in the other camp.
Perhaps we should secure our boundaries, by pre-emptively blocking AOL content and prepare for the counterstrikes and dawn raids.

Isn't that rather similar to those sites that used javascript to open millions of browser windows.......
Who's gonna visit that site?
Didn't this already happen...?
Oh wait, it was saddam hussein.
>obfuscating your identity during a criminal act is immoral and unethical
Um, no. The criminal act is immoral and unethical. Obfuscating your identity while performing a criminal act is common sense....
Is it just me or does this name sound like a brand of condoms?
This would seem to imply that apple are threatened by a PC manufacturer, because their cases look similar.
Thus are we to assume that the only reason someone buys an iMac is because of the translucent colours??
That's like Amiga sueing dell because of their beige boxes....
or something.
Dudes, this man has something to say. And he could be onto something...
Last time I punched a monkey, they threw me out of the zoo.
Hippies.
Buzzword frenzy:
Linux Transmeta internet wap synergy pda wireless
Hah.... We appear to have ./ed GCHQ....
That's actually quite funny if you think about it...
How the hell did bond get all those cool tuxedoes and gamble so much.....
Did you check out the pay scales...? £24k per *annum*....
Christ.... No wonder the british empire is in the state it is.
Either that or they have been on a pay freeze since the sixties... In which case supervillans have the edge now then.....
Um, Broadly speaking isn't this what has happened to slashdot, having been named as one of the defendants in the current DVD encryption debacle?
It will happen. A discussion board will be sued. And knowing the American "legal" system, it will be sued successfully.
Let's face it, with slashdot being as popular as it is, it will probably be next....
So sell your shares in andover now! (uh, just kidding about the last bit. I'm just jealous that I don't have any...)
Isn't this sort of similar to spammer A whining that spammer B used a cancelbot to kill his "Get rich Quick" messages in usenet?
I suppose I should be grateful about advertising though... How would I know what I want without it?
Yeah, I know...
;-)
However the humour value of that, if I were to have included it in my post would have been limited
Besides... How do you know its *not* true...
If there is a website called www.monkeybagel.com anything is possible...
cool. Now all we need is an assembly line doing this sort of shit and we can get that complete works of shakespeare going....
or double the IQ of texas or something...
Um, I can see it all happening:
Why not BSD?
GPL violations!
Waaagh.
I think people are missing the point.
Yes, we know BSD is more secure.

Hey, This isn't flamebait.
Porn is a beautiful form of self-expression, and a celebration of the human form.
And Sticky too.
Only in porn movies....

With a fist attachment..
OpenSource Toys.
A TUX that transforms into a huge battlecruiser.
The BSD daemon that with a bit of slight of hand changes into a tank.
A Linus (tm) Action figure with special coding action
A Sig11 Doll with fearsome Karma power
A CmdrTaco model, which is sometimes late...
We could even combine some of the models together and make:
SuperMegaTuxTacoDaemon11ux
Which could take on the MCSE Drones in an ultimate battle of good versus banality.
I think I am going off hold off getting another MP3 player until I can get one embedded in my skull.
Man. They would need to as well. She's been dead for 8 years.
BTW I hope you use a black condom out of respect for the dead.
Does anyone else here think thiat there has been far too much effort put into making macs look pretty.
I always get the feeling that apple borrowed a lot of their styling and usability from Rowentas' irons for the iMac.
I don't think I'll be getting a mac.
Not as such no.
Games developers have a history of developing games that push the limits of hardware and features.
Couple this with the fact that sony have absolute power over what gets written and sold, and what doesn't.
They can atually force developers to write PSXII games if they wanted, instead of PSX1.
Under these circumstances there will be shitloads of PSXII games, as well as new PSX1 titles. And both will co-exist for a long time.
Besides its not always the most tech advanced games that are the most playable...
Remember elite on the zx-spectrum?
