  1. azure? on Oracle and Microsoft To Announce Cloud Partnership Monday · · Score: 2

    It is definitely about time. Azure is terrible. Anyone who has ever tried to create an Image in Azure knows it is pure garbage. Microsoft blatantly disregarded the Open Virtualization Format standards, and created a VHD. Then even if you use HyperV to save your image, it doesn't necessarily mean its going to work. You still need the Windows Azure Agent. Then... if it still doesn't work. Good luck! Because there is no console to trouble shoot it.

    I have no idea what Oracles "cloud" looks like. But it can't be much worse than Azure.

  2. colo on Ask Slashdot: What Should a Non-Profit Look For In a Web Host? · · Score: 1

    Colo a box, and find a competent admin. 1000 concurrent users isn't small either by the way. You also completely neglected to mention what the site was written in, and what webserver you are using. There is a major difference if you have 1000 concurrent users on apache tomcat, or a simple php site.

    Personally you are better off hiring someone in house to manage it, but do yourself a favor, and do your research. There are a lot of people in the industry who talk big and suck at what they do. If he cant look at what you have, and setup a proper infrastructure for it within 30 days, fire him. The other option, is look at the smaller companies to do managed hosting for you. They usually have a few racks in a DC they use.

    Dont bother with these big companies like hostgator. Most of their employees are worthless. Not to mention the recent story about one of their admins backdooring their servers. The more reputable ones stretch their employees too thin, so unless you are a squeeky wheel you will get neglected.

  3. Re:seems like a waste of money on One Year Since Assange Took Refuge in Ecuadorian Embassy · · Score: 1

    Berating as in calling them sluts. Im not disagreeing with the whole thing being suspicious. People have sex, calling them loose and sluts is childish and naive.

    I dont know if berating the women is the right method here. But yes, you are correct... This is a gross misappropriation of resources for a rape charge, which is quite suspicious, and does point out tyranny and governmental abuse.

    So they just HAPPENED to accidentally include a new license? eh, sounds fishy. Oracle screws up everything they touch. I was at Sun Microsystems for some ZFS training shortly after the Oracle buyout... the look of defeat these guys had...

    I think you are looking for the sheepdog mentality. This is why a CHL should be covered under the second amendment.

    if they are capturing by tapping MCI, they are getting it without needing to ask the companies for it. But this is nothing new, these are just the companies you know about. You know how many Data Centers play ball with the NSA too?

  10. honestly on Ask Slashdot: How To Bypass Gov't Spying On Cellphones? · · Score: 1

    Honestly, your best hope is going to be Ubuntu Touch. It will give you a hell of a lot more control over your phone than android. It is straight up linux, so if you know what you are doing on a linux box, you, in theory, should be able to cut off those phone home's and shit.

    Ohhhhhh mannnn, if I could fucking hack back... You don't even know. But until its legal to do so, its too much of a risk to my livelihood.

    Also, dont go to any government buildings, dont get within eye shot of public property, dont patron any business that the government might be involved with... and we might as well add... dont walk out of the shade, because the drones will see you. So just stay home and twittle your thumbs quietly and the government wont spy on you.

    A tattoo artist at company parties... Plus a butt load of free alcohol is how that happened. But the tattoo was only free if it somehow involved the company or its logo.

  18. Re:"Dark" past? on IBM Buys Dallas Based Softlayer For $2 Billion · · Score: 1

    the legal issues were because they stole "Orbit" (the internal system) from The Planet when they left. That same portal was then developed on for years, and created "IMS" which is still in use today at SoftLayer. You can still see the similarities. For example the menu. But they definitely did a better job updating it than The Planet did.
