I would highly recommend AdHost, a company in Seattle, which specializes in colocated and dedicated servers with great managed hosting plans. They have friendly and knowledgeable staff and in my experience have been very good to deal with.
I've been using CentOS 3.3 and 3.4 on my two CPanel servers this year, and so far, I've been nothing but impressed. Easy installation, easy to maintain, fast updates.
Chris: Where do you think you go when you die?
Sam: I learned from church that if you're good you go to heaven but if you're bad, you go to a place where the dead believe they're still living and they pray for death but death won't come.
Chris: UPN?
Yeah, it's my own company, but it's a good one, I think:)
$6.95 per month, enough space and mail for you, plus we can come up with a special deal if you need something other than what we have. We have an anime mascot. Check us out:)
I noticed this a lot with my new Mac. After eight years of using Microsoft products, I buckled down and bought a dual 1.8Ghz G5 a few weeks ago.
Every time I plug something into it, it just works. I bought a Formac TVR video capture unit, and plugged it in. No drivers, it recognized it just fine and Toast even let me capture off it. My new mouse worked perfectly. I plugged in my USB printer, and it didn't even bother prompting me about it - I was simply suddenly able to print documents from anywhere.
...it's "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO pieces". Not Lego, or Legos, or even LEGO. LEGO pieces/bricks, to review to the company (which should always be capitalized) and the actual objects themselves. This is straight from LEGO (who really wants it as "LEGO® bricks" but you can't have everything:))
I agree with the article, this IS pretty scary. I have no problem with war games, but basically making a joke out of a serious subject like this is somewhat over the line, IMO..
Sorry if this is a me-too, but as a web host, I wanted to throw my two cents in..
The company I work for recently went from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (mm, Microsoft volume licensing) and the gains have been TREMENDOUS. Servers that were choking on running 1,000 websites (with e-mail, FTP, etc) because of memory issues and problems with website applications are now running like a dream with nearly all RAM free. The new application pool settings are a dream to work with, and the server just feels more robust now.
2003's stability is amazing just on its smarter handling of memory. It also helps that it's smarter on handling rogue applications that decide not to run right, and the fact it doesn't install everything under the sun by default helps as well.
If you are upgrading from 2000 to 2003, you do need to look for a few minor things (the ASP.NET user changes from ASPNET to NETWORK SERVICE, and you need to make sure ODBC updates completely - I had a few servers that couldn't connect to SQL Servers anymore and required me to install SQL Server and uninstall to fix it; I'm sure Microsoft had a solution for it but I was under a deadline:) but the general upgrade goes very smoothly. Put the CD in, wait an hour, fiddle with a few settings (ODBC, the.NET stuff, change IIS from 5.0 mode to 6.0 mode) and voila, you have a bigger, better, badder server.
There's no reason to go with 2000 now that 2003 is available - there may be no service pack yet but it's running like a champ. Go with it.
After agent K get's deneralized, and I mean as he gets out of the chair, he is talking about how he can't remember what they are looking for becuase he neralized himself to make him forget where he put it or what it was. Um what about the deneralizer you just used to get your memory back?
Two possibilities...
1) I seem to remember that the deneuralization was only set to go back five years (although I might be crossing this up with the previous neuralization of the agent at the start of the movie). If this is true, then J's neuralization would be removed, but the one K did to himself many years ago would still be in effect. 2) Like mentioned in other comments, neuralizations are layered. Removing one doesn't remove the rest (this actually makes sense; otherwise, if somebody that's been neuralized repeatedly got deneuralized, it could seriously fuck with their memories).
BTW, my C64 is beige and looks nothing like all the other ones I see in pictures.... Anyone know what's up? It's not a C128 or anything. It's just a different looking C64.
It's a 64C, Commodore's rerelease of the 64 in the late-80s/early-90s. It came out about the same time as the 128 in order to make the two look similar.
It also has the latest revision of the ROMs for the 64 (the version in some of the original 64s had a nasty bug with scrolling and deleting that could lock up the 64).
I owned both a 64 and 64C, and the 64C seems easier to type on, for some reason.
You say:
Damn...if they make $40-80k a year only working 47 days, think of how much they would make working all year round!
No wonder it takes so long to develop software. The people who do the typing are only at work 1/7 of the year..
I say:
Bologna. Testing and fixing bugs isn't work?
If you don't consider fixing bugs, testing, and working on to-be-cancelled-later projects to be work, I'll gladly give you that "non-work" for you to do for me while I "work all year round".
I'm biased, but I suggest Cyber World Internet Services We run on some pretty beefy Windows 2000 servers off a T-1, and support ASP. We also have a dedicated SQL Server (v7.0, free to Enterprise customers). $9.95/month.
..at least for me. I use SQL Server 7.0 for a ton of database-driven projects, and have had nothing but success with it. Good performance, too, and a few of the projects are pretty high traffic.
Of course, the fact it's running on a dual P3-600 with a gig of RAM might have something to do with that. YMMV.:)

There's a possibility of there being an earth-shattering kaboom!

It appears the main PuTTY site has been Slashdotted: here's a few more links:

This was shown at Comic-COn on Friday and was available online as well.

I've forgotten what I was going to say here, as playing Neverwinter has eroded my brain.

I mistyped - Cyber World runs off a dual T-1, soon to be upgraded to at least a T-3, if not more. Oopsie. :)
