The company I work for used to be a client of theirs, and like many others here, eventually got fed up with their constant downtime. When we canceled our service and they shipped the servers back, all four rackmount servers had the rack-screw-tabs bent because they shipped them with no padding whatsoever. They were just rattling around inside the cardboard boxes during shipment.
A former employee of CI Host contacted us after we quit their service and told us this little gem:
That time early this year when their entire Chicago datacenter was down for two days? They forgot to pay their power bill.
Al Gore never claimed he invented the internet you morons. Stop spreading stupid myths when you haven't bothered finding out the real story.
He said he had a large part in endorsing the legislation which provided the internet with much of its funding and support as it was transforming itself into a commercial success. Which is the truth! He was the main force in Congress pushing for the acceptance of the internet as a mainstream means of communication.
Also...will you idiots please fscking stop it with the "yeah but when was the first spam sent?" comments? Try reading just the first ten comments relating to this topic and you'll realize just how fscking stale your jokes are!
do you people have any imagination? do you really have to post almost the exact same joke as the previous fifty people have?
"I bet the second email ever sent was a spam!"
Ha. Ha. You're so clever.
